    Suspect a problem with my X850XT

    The cooling on the card is functioning, and the case has plenty of circulation. The heatsinks on the card feel about as warm as my forehead. I had thought of that - but i'd be very surprised if that's the case given what I know about the cooling situation. Just upgraded to the drivers...

    Oblivion running @ 1920x1200, thoughts?

    Has the concept of comprimise crossed your mind at all? You're not stuck with crappy FPS, you're choosing it. Adjust your expectations.

    Oblivion running @ 1920x1200, thoughts?

    Surely you saw this coming. Last I read, Oblivion is processing shading on each pixel on the screen. I play at 1024x768, which is 786,432 pixels, 1920x1200 is 2,304,000. You're asking for alot there. I also play with 4xAA and full settings (except some shadow settings), and I get low 20s with...

    Suspect a problem with my X850XT

    Since I installed this video card (ATI X850XT), I've replaced the power supply twice. That problem always occurred while I was away from the computer, but the screensaver was gpu intensive. Since I stopped using that screensaver, I've had no problems (but it's still not been enough time to...

    Ultima 9 vs. Oblivion

    It's fun to jack up the resolution, go to the top of the highest point you can find, and start working the clipping planes out to insane levels. The highest spot might actually be the top of the Castle's spire. If you work it out enough you can literally see everywhere. Your framerate might...

    Ultima 9 vs. Oblivion

    UA was a travesty. If I had the time and knowledge, I'd rewrite U9 completely as a mod for Oblivion. I've already got 80% of the story and features, and was planning on doing an NWN mod (or perhaps now a NWN2 mod). But again, time issues... :sigh: The sad thing is that they don't have to...

    Noob to ATI X850XT

    I just got this card and am looking forward to a really nice boost (upgrading from GF 5750), but the first thing i do with practically everything is explore all the options, and I'm wondering if anyone can explain to me what Catalyst A.I. is. Also curious as to what features users may be...

    Please help if possible with video problem

    My dad got this card and held it for over six months. Previous card was a GeForce FX 5200 (if memory serves). The entire system is a huge upgrade for me, including the relatively weak video (compared to others out now). I just now got the rest of the stuff, and needed a video card...

    Rainbow Six 4: Assimilated

    I realize the consequences are dire, but it really depends on how you were hit. No one just shakes off a gunshot.

    Why would my comp refuse to save an .AVI out of 1 frame?

    I'm trying something with DVD-lab, and when I export my menu as a single frame AVI, the resulting movie doesn't load. This is uncompressed. If I try to use Microsoft or Intel for compression, it won't even save data. What are some things that might cause something like this?

    Rainbow Six 4: Assimilated

    I would guess it's actually not that much faster paced on the PC. I don't really know, but everything tends to take a little bit of time to pull off and that probably evens the playing field with consoles a bit. I mean, crouching takes half a second or so, going prone takes about a second. I...

    Rainbow Six 4: Assimilated

    There's another good point. Depending on the location of the shot and the size and speed of the incoming round, armor might reduce damage. Having three bars just makes official what wasn't really clear in RS quite often. Any kind of armor ought to reduce a chest shot to non-lethal unless an...

    Rainbow Six 4: Assimilated

    Have you? Depending on where you're shot and what you're shot with, it's possible to keep going if you're motivated. Obviously you're not gonna come back from a head shot, but if you're shot in the arm or leg with smaller rounds it's concievable (though not recommended, heh). Maybe even a...

    Media Player

    MPC (media player classic) is best for movies. Foobar2000 is best for audio.
