    L4D2 Releases Tonight @ 09:00pm

    O....K.... I had to read this twice, but on the second read my sleep-addled brain caught up and I just about spit coffee all over my screen. You've captured the tone well!

    L4D2 Releases Tonight @ 09:00pm

    Couldn't stay up late enough last night and didn't know about the release time, so I went to bed 1/2 hour before release. Woke up, wide awake at 3:48 am. Went to compy, powered up, and then waited for 10 min for steam to start (I guess it was authenticating my pre-load or wtf ever)...

    Whos buying COD:MW2?

    I hate to resort to this, but Fuck Infinity Ward for dumping on the PC crowd that probably feathered 90% of their nest. I was super excited to play MW2, based on my months of bleary-eyed dedication to MW1. They nerfed it with the dedicated server crap and then we find out that there is no...

    Left 4 Dead 2 PC Demo

    Pros: 1. Slightly improved graphically. 2. Much improved effects-many have already mentioned (e.g. cutting off limbs, guts, blood) 3. More throwables (bile bomb is gonna be really interesting in Versus mode or for use on tanks-think tanks fighting through a mini-horde as you blast away or...

    Multiple Steam Accounts on 1 PC

    My wife and I have steam accounts on my computer. I copy what other posters have said. Your buddy won't have to dload. But that brings up the question: why do you have a gaming buddy coming over and not have a spare computer he can use for a mini LAN?:)

    9800GT 512 (in SLI) vs. BFG GTX260...

    I've posted this in other threads of virtually the same title... I went from 2 x 8800 GT (highly overclocked eVGAs) to one highly overclocked MSI GTX 260 core 216. The larger buffer-896 vs 512 x 2-gave me a distinct advantage in the newest games with the heavier use of DX10 and higher...

    Left for Dead 2? Already?

    Doesn't bother me in the least that L4D-2 is coming out so soon...I am interested in the graphics and gameplay updates, new modes, etc...For the ppl who feel ripped off, just keep playing L4D until ver. 2 gets cheaper (as was said above). It's still a great game. Besides, maybe sequel will be...

    Which budget beast would you choose?

    Wow, such blatant vapidity. I just bought a GTX 260 c216 for $159. I read and posted in his other thread regarding this...I said "If I had $250 I would go with the 4890." This is coming from an NVidia "fanboy" whose last 4 cards have been from the "green team." I, as well as...

    Upgrading from 2x PNY 8800GT's XLR8- need recommendations

    I'm thinking that price is prolly good new@this. They might bid higher, but if you put a buy it now for $90, you will def sell them. After much though, I still stand by my "if you have $250 buy a 4890." They rock out when it comes to 1920 x 1200 with higher AA. AND you will be able to...

    Rate My Build

    Change PSU to corsair...750w or 850w with them is plenty for single proc. system. Search and you can find one for about same $$$. Dump the GTX 285 and get a ATI 4870 x2 (streets for about same price...maybe a couple dozen washingtons more)...

    Upgrading from 2x PNY 8800GT's XLR8- need recommendations

    Oh, and I sold my 8800 GTs on ebay for a buy it now price of $80...they were purchased in 4 hours. I got 1.25 years of use out of them, and got 33% of their orig purchase price back through resale, which I used to buy my gtx 260.

    Upgrading from 2x PNY 8800GT's XLR8- need recommendations

    I've had physx enabled on two games and I can tell you that I am not that impressed right now. UT3 uses physx and the effect are mediocre. Agreed on dx 10.1...hell, Already talking dx 11 for ATI in july, but imho even dx10 is over rated...meh.

    Upgrading from 2x PNY 8800GT's XLR8- need recommendations

    I made the upgrade 1 month ago. I had 2 x 8800 GT (superclocked eVGAs) in SLI...24" monitor. Just like you said, in shader heavy games, I was stuttering and laggy (e.g. crysis and FC2). I bought an overclocked MSI (see sig.) GTX 260 (c216 55nm) and it nearly doubled my minimum fps in games...

    GTX 260 216 SSC vs. GTX 275?

    Aftermarket cooler. Way less $$$ than GPU upgrade.

    Left 4 Dead update out

    Played 2 hours last night. Hadn't played in a while, as it was getting old. 5 min 47 seconds at the lighthouse. Did the best while on the roof of lighthouse with rifles, occasionally going down to reload, etc...Biggest issue are smokers at that point. Finding a server was the biatch...
