    Sapphire 7970 ghz edition Vapor-X EZ-OC button.

    I have some questions about the EZ Overclock hardware button on my new Vapor-X What is this thing supposed to do specifically. Is it alright to press it while the computer is running? From what I can gather, it accesses an alternate bios with different stock clock speeds, which leads me...

    Old Athlon X2 5800+ vs Q6600 for gaming

    thanks for the advice. i think i'll bite. can this processor be overclocked with a simple stock cooler? or should I just leave well enough alone. I'm completely inexperienced when it comes to overclocking, but i've heard the q6600s are good up to about 3ghz

    Old Athlon X2 5800+ vs Q6600 for gaming

    Have an old rig, but found another old rig for cheap and was wondering if it was worth the slight upgrade. Would the Athlon X2 5800+ dual core 3.0ghz be better for gaming than Intel Core 2 Quad quad core 2.4ghz processor? Would I actually be taking a hit by upgrading from the x2 to the...

    XBMC users, new user would like your input

    sucks about not having keyboard support for icefilms the capchas can be annoying, but they're necessary to protect the content. if you go into the xbmc interface settings, find a check box for "remote sends keyboard keypresses" or something like that. then you'll be able to input text...

    Vsync Input Lag Questions

    so i'm not discovering that when playing some emulators, the vsync input lag doesn't exist in windowed mode, but when fullscreened the lag is quite noticeable. does fullscreen use a different rendering method in some instances than windowed mode?

    Vsync Input Lag Questions

    hrm. help me wrap my brain around this question. are you saying that you expected different results when disabling d3doverrider apart from the 40-50fps? does something lead you to believe that bc2 is using a render ahead queue? one thing that frustrates me about this entire process is...

    Vsync Input Lag Questions

    in that case it might be this render ahead queue being on by default causing my problems with source games. it feels like it anyway. weird. and yeah, it is the xbox live arcade version of castlevania. and you were right about the misreporting of framerate. whereas the 'cl_showfps 1' fps...

    Vsync Input Lag Questions

    kllrnohj - i went back and tested using fps_max 58 along with vsync in TF2 with fraps enabled, and it does register the frames per second as being at a solid 58, sometimes dipping to as low as 47. here's a pic http://yfrog.com/9g58fpsj like i said, i don't know why it works on my system, but...

    Vsync Input Lag Questions

    thanx for the info guys. kllrnohj I wouldn't be surprised if you were right about the acceleration. What originally led me to believe that mouse acceleration contributes to input lag was my frustration in trying to reduce lag in the original bioshock. This is the game that made me realize...

    Vsync Input Lag Questions

    thanx for the reply's guys. apocrypha - i've heard, and somewhat deduced, that vsync doesn't add any lag whatsoever as long as your framerate never goes above 60fps. things display just about as soon as they're rendered in that case. i've never come in contact with a game where the...

    Vsync Input Lag Questions

    There's tons of contradictory information on the net about Input Lag. I just wanted to gauge the popular opinion on the causes and possible solutions of Input lag. Input lag = amount of time between a button press/mouse movement, and the visible response to said movement on the screen...
