    Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Perf & IQ @ [H]

    Just a note, like most id games there are bunch of console cvars you can mess with to set things higher or lower quality than available in the menu. htmlcvars in the console will give you a nice html formated table of the cvars with description in the game directory under "my documents"

    Enemy Territory Quake Wars Beta

    For people with nvidia cards suffering from poor performance, make sure you "hardware acceleration" set to "single monitor performance" for ET:QW. This is in the "manage 3d settings" page of the nvidia control panel. There will already be an application profile for ET:QW in any vaguely recent...

    Enemy Territory Quake Wars Beta

    Remember the medic can drop a supply crate with both ammo and health, and if you get headshots, you need less shots to kill. Most classes don't spawn with full ammo, so dropping a crate just outside of spawn is worthwhile. Closer to the action is better when you can get away with it of course...

    Anandtech Reviews Killer NIC

    I suppose it does in a way. Most packet loss happens somewhere on the far side of the users modem. As you admit, killernic can't do anything about this. Killer may be able to handle link layer stuff slightly better, but this is a red herring because on a properly functioning home Ethernet...

    Anandtech Reviews Killer NIC

    I'd love to see a technical explaination of how that works.

    Bigfoot Killer NIC review @ Extremetech

    Sadly, despite the negative conclusion, the review seems to regurgitate some of bigfoots propaganda: Uh yeah. Let's see the numbers please. :rolleyes: It also looks like the BF2 test was capped at 100fps, with occasional drops. WoW was by their own admission capped at 64. If the game is...

    Bigfoot Netoworks' Killer NIC Sneak Peek

    Thanks for the clarification. My original point many pages back was that any improvements in software latency will show up in total latency, unless they are insignificantly small. Furthermore, total latency gives you an absolute upper bound of software latency. No improvement in software...

    Wireless Antenna Suggestions

    I have had good results using these antennas http://sharperconcepts.zoovy.com/product/YSC-HG2412P for a point to point link over about 160 yards, with clear line of site except for a few branches. The construction was good, and I didn't have any trouble with signal strength. Their other antennas...

    For gamin which is better, WiFi or Wired?

    I wouldn't extrapolate too far based on that experience . In general wifi is subject to RF interference and physical obstructions. Those factors do not depend entirely on the equipment, and may be outside of your control. Barring defective hardware, wired ethernet will perform at it's maximum...

    For gamin which is better, WiFi or Wired?

    Wireless is subject to interference (causing lag or packetloss) under normal operation. A perfect wireless connection is indeed pretty much indistinguishable from a perfect wired connection for gaming, but the chances of getting a perfect wireless connection are much smaller. If going wired...

    My dsl gets funny when using cordless phone

    If buying a new phone isn't an option, you may be able to reduce the problem by moving the equipment around. Make sure the phone base station isn't right next to the wireless router or the computer. Also, do make sure the problem only happens when the cordless phone is used. DSL can have...

    Best Router under $100

    Best for what ? Or in other words, how is your current router not meeting your needs ?

    486 router?

    I assumed you are talking about the performance impact on the connection, not how long the admin page takes to load. What I measured was the latency introduced by the router. My conclusion was that even with high CPU loads on the router, and a large volume of internal traffic, the DSL latency...

    486 router?

    Yes, I as assuming a basic NAT router. That said, my current PII Celeron based system has no trouble handling heavy internal LAN traffic and CPU load, without any noticeable impact on performance of the DSL side. NATing and forwarding a few mbits of traffic just doesn't take much power. It's...

    486 router?

    Did you "feel" the difference or did you actually measure it ? If you just felt it, it is very likely you are experiencing the placebo effect. Assuming you are routing a home broadband connection (<10mbit each way), and there isn't something completely broken, it is extremely unlikely there...
