    Upgrade from 8800GTX to ASUS 5850, issues.

    Yeah at this point a reformat and reinstall is probably the next step aside from upgrading to i7. Aside from L4d2, all my games seem to be running fine now including Crysis. Even L4D2 is more than playable I suppose, I just can tell it isn't perfect which just bothers me but If I am playing it...

    Upgrade from 8800GTX to ASUS 5850, issues.

    So uninstalled my chipset with driver sweeper and reinstalled it as recommended. I don't think it has made a huge difference. However, I do believe Windows 7 64bit might be my problem, perhaps when I went from xp 32bit to win7 64bit it didn't entirely clean the xp 32bit OS stuff. Idk it is just...

    Upgrade from 8800GTX to ASUS 5850, issues.

    Haha, yeah now for some reason I am getting a worse score on 3DMark06, now I am getting 12000ish. So something must still be wrong, considering I could get 13000 with my 8800gtx. Perhaps my cpu is dieing? Its odd to cause MW2 seems to run just fine. However, there seems to be some stuttering...

    Upgrade from 8800GTX to ASUS 5850, issues.

    I did what Mr. K6 recommended and I was able to install the 10.2 drivers properly. I think that helped, I am able to play Crysis warhead on enthusiast settings with 2 AA, something I could def not do with the 8800gtx. However I still am not able to enable multi core rendering in L4D2 without...

    Upgrade from 8800GTX to ASUS 5850, issues.

    I suppose one other piece of information that might be useful is all my settings in CCC are set to performance not quality, and vertical sync is set to off, unless application specifies otherwise.

    Upgrade from 8800GTX to ASUS 5850, issues.

    Okay I have done tons of google/forum searches for my problem but really haven't found a fix yet. My issue is I have upgraded from a 8800gtx to 5850 and so far my performance increase hasn't been that great and in fact may be worse than expected having me believe something isn't correct with...

    Why such the large gab in price? (Dell vs Sony Laptop)

    I have merely been browsing laptops because I am thinking about replacing my current desktop with a Win7 laptop when 7 comes out. I have been looking at the Dell Studio XPS 16 and the Sony FW Series. I have customized the two with similar specs yet the Dell is over 400 dollars more expensive...

    Replacing Gaming Desktop

    The 9600M GT is a decent card and it shouldn't have any trouble running games at 1440 x 900 assuming you don't crank AA up. I would recommend upgrading the CPU to the P8700 though. Also I see there is a 9650M GT I imagine its just higher core and memory clocks so I don't know if its worth the...

    Replacing Gaming Desktop

    Why not try the Dell Studio XPS with P8600 (2.4 GhZ), ATI Mobility HD 4670 (320 SP 1GB Mem), 4GB System Mem etc. The only problem you might have is it is a 16 inch wide screen laptop. I would recommend getting the 720p screen IF you plan to game on it because the video card only has a 128 bit...

    Computer Graphics Programming Book Suggestions?

    Hi, I am a computer engineering student with an extensive knowledge in how the Microprocessor works and how it is interfaced with the system (I had to build a complete 8086 system from the ground up). However, sadly the program I am in doesn't offer a decent Computer Graphics...

    AMD/ATI Beats Nvidia to the 1 GHz GPU Milestone

    I find the reduction in the semiconductor fab/transistor node size to be more exciting personally.

    Information on Intel's Atom Architecture?

    Hey everyone, I have to do a research paper on the architecture of a particular microprocessor and I thought doing it over Intel's Atom processor would be interesting. I have found some good information on it from the usual review sites that I use such as Tomshardware and Anandtech, as well as...

    Assembly Question, CX counter issue.

    Well that was quick figured it out. Since I was messing with si and ds to load the memory at the seg/offset address it was messing up the pointers causing the variables to be nonsense so I just pushed the blocksize on the stack before hand and then pop it onto ax then loading cx with ax.

    Assembly Question, CX counter issue.

    When I output the contents of var_blocksize right after I store it, it is 0001 but when I go to another proc such as memdump proc and output the contents it is no longer 0001 but jibberish?
