    PSU May be dying [help?]

    The only reason I'm leaning towards hardware is that this issue began with literally no software changes. I didn't install anything, change any settings...just...funky discharging behavior. :confused:

    PSU May be dying [help?]

    I have an older BFG 650W PSU that has been working fine for a while, but recently my computer started to do something odd. When I try to come back from sleep in vista32, my USB keyboard is backlit, and lights up so I know it is getting power. However, the power light on the case continues to...

    Average Teen's iPod Has 842 Stolen Tracks

    Why, the lossless -- if you listen to them in that order, of course. :rolleyes:

    Average Teen's iPod Has 842 Stolen Tracks

    Also -- I'd like to present a theory. Declining record sales haven't been caused by illegal mp3 downloading, or even greatly exacerbated by it. Instead, declining diversity of music and a controlled music industry with little originality did. Americans, and people in general, don't have a...

    Average Teen's iPod Has 842 Stolen Tracks

    BitTorrent traffic is estimated to be anywhere from 50-75% of bandwidth usage on the internet. You're surprised that people have a lot of pirated music? I had a huge CD collection. And it's all on my computer in MP3 format -- fortunately, because most of them were stolen from me. But then...

    New PhysX PCIe Cards?

    QFT -- that, or figure out a way to make PCI-e not suck.

    Difference between Physics on a GPU and Physics on a PPU?

    I'm no computer engineer or anything, so I leave this open to SuperGee (who is, or who at least sounds like one). Cant raw processing power be rendered irrelevant by the architecture of the chip? Isn't there a big difference between the banks of floating point registers in the PPU and the...

    PhysX 64-bit driver in September

    I don't know a whole lot about the nitty gritty of IC processing and words etc.. Am I correct in thinking that a 64 bit driver would, on some level, allow for faster communication between the CPU and the PPU? That is to say, you could send 'chunks' 64-bits long instead of 32, ultimately saving...

    Dual Core/Multi-Threaded Physics.

    Question -- if Nvidia released a triple-SLi solution that involved two video cards and one core of your processor, would it excite you? If its largely understood that GPUs far exceed CPUs in graphics processing, why do people have a hard time understanding that a PPU will have similar...

    BFG PSU?

    I recently upgraded to SLI and took a chance on a 650W BFG PSU. I have 3 hard drives, 2 cd roms, and 2 6800 GTs on an AMD system. However, when I run games I get a notification from the Nvidia software that my cards are receiving insufficient power. Any ideas? Anyone have any experience with...

    ATI Claims No Physics for "9 to 12 Months"

    I dont agree. That will only happen if there are viable advances in technology every 6 months. Else the competitor would be just releasing to release...and they'd get torn to pieces. I don't think PhysX is something that will have such massive speed increases / needs. I think a sound card is...

    "Hanger of Doom" gameplay video (UE3 enigne)

    somewhere, a ferrari engineer is reading this and crying :p which, incidentally, is what a GPU engineer would be doing over the rape of a perfectly good graphcs card to be a substandard physics solution if they weren't so busy seeing green ($$). Anyway, to further what I was saying about...

    "Hanger of Doom" gameplay video (UE3 enigne)

    The point is that specialized hardware (sound card, graphics card, ppu, etc) is going to outperform generalized hardware (cpu) hands down. CPUs are set up for linear data processing, and maximize their efficiency based on "threaded" tasks. GPUs are different in that they work in parallel...

    Microsoft incorporating physics on GPU into DirectX?

    Sounds like GPU half-physics to me. Edit: further thoughts Seems to me microsoft would be silly to bet on doing DX10 just for people with multi-gpu solutions. I think the sector of the market willing to buy an additional PCI add-in (PhysX) is a whole lot bigger than those running...

    Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard Announced

    the g keys are great for gaming and other apps. I love my g-15...recordable macros on the fly ftw. Especially useful in Excel and other long-keystroke non-game apps. And the time-delayed macros are really useful in MMOs. Plus, a keyboard that checks my email? And then can open the email...
