I'd REALLY like to wait the extra 2 months.. but the 5870 from all the crazy rumors/leaks looks awesome enough to get without hearing from Nvidia.. With my setup ( 2 8800gts) even just the current gen hardware is a nice jump. From my reasoning the 'next gen' stuff will be such a jump it...

Eventually this year I will be upgrading to a shiny new i7 system. I like what I have been seeing and hearing about the EVGA X58 SLI. But the secondary 12v 8-pin power connector is located near the top end of the motherboard. The case I would like to buy will have the PSU situated at the...

I'm looking to upgrade to a GT280 from my 8800 GTS. The Video card + 6pin power adapter is pretty close to not fitting.. I'm wondering if a GT280 will be able to fit at all.. Is a GT280 alot bigger?

Is it possible to SLI the new 8800 GTS and the old 8800 GTS? Anyone tried it? no one has even MENTIONED doing it.. Do-able? Really awesome? Any info would be great.

I have been hired for a new IT position (Woo!) and one of the major first jobs I have his troubleshooting our out-of-warranty 'may not work' stock of 70 or so computers.. The only problem is we don' have a standard procedure or any real testing tools.. The way I test right now is pretty...

I went bought Galaxies and the first and most surprising thing was the update it put on my Wii.. If you've played Metroid or Mario part - or any of the 'widescreen' games.. There was this quarter inch on either side of the screen that was not being filled with 'game'.. In Metroid - corruption it...

The reason I am bugging you forum go-ers with this, is I can't find a site where I can sort by type and price at the same time. I'm looking to spend all of the $253 on the card - Dx10 is wanted but not required, this friend I'm building a computer for hasn't had a good computer for 6 years -...

I have been hovering over the Steampowered site for awhile and still no word on whats going on with Team Fortress 2.. I want it now :( Also (and what I think is the cause for the delay) the Steam community system will apparently track your stats for TF2 which I think is nifty. Its nice...

I have been reading about the recent patches to Supremecommander (1.5, then 1.5.3.2 or something) and they are supposed to improve performance and add all sorts of cool sounding other stuff. I have not bought the game, even since I got my new computer (the hardOCP multi-core review scared me...

Well, I finally got my system and damn, no reviews were exaggerating when this boards temps get really high at stock. I don't need to worry about my CPU at least, the OCZ Vinidactor does a nice job (39'c full load). After a couple of hours of gaming with chipset hits 53'c! there's a 14...

Basically I'm suffering from a "CRYSIS" ... I am worried that if I by my 'very nice' computer right now (8800 GTS 320MB, E6400, 2GB ram etc), will not be able to run Crysis... Or other DX10 stuff.. For all I know at the moment, 8800 GTS 320MB might suck donkey nuts at dx10 games... I know its...

Ok, so basically I have a P5N-E, and an E6400 stock, with a CoolerMaster 500W PSU. and the Pc speaker plugged in, and a ps2 keyboard. I get the green light on the board for 'power'. When I power on the computer, I get fans, nothing else.. What I expected to hear was BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...

Ok, I am not going to overclock this board. Are the random lock up issues still happening at stock speeds on the P5N-E? I really want to get this board, because its like the only one with SLI AND 2 IDE ports.. So allows me to keep my HDDs.. Oh and the price is really low for a new SLI board.

Whats a good site to go to that says what the new US Virtual console games are? Oh BTW, Alien crsh w00t! I hope Devil Crush comes out soon.

After reading an interesting review on IGN for FSX, is there that much different visually between the two? He also said his computer rig that ran FS9 fine, ran like crap in FSX ( amd 3700+ and X850Xt or something). I'm trying to suggest hardware for a friend who's making a small flight sim...

Ok, I recently purchased Bomberman '93 off of the virtual console, and it supports 5 players (uses wii-motes and gamecube controllers). the game is great, 5 players is crazy fun etc etc.. What other snes/nes/geneisis/turbo games had more then 4 player support?

Ok, on nvnews.net they have a forum with a bunch of pics of the 8800 gs/gtx and also a 'size comparison' and it looks like the 8800 has a at least one maybe 1 and a quarter inches bigger then the 7900GTX. I have a 6800 Ultra, (which is pretty big) and it barely fits inside my sonata case...

I am looking into getting a DS3 or P5B DLX. I have a abit Is7-g with the Intel Raid drivers. Is there anything I need to worry about when moving the raid array from one motherboard to another? Is there a specific procedure I should go through? I am NOT booting off of this raid array, which...

I'm trying to hunt down a Core 2 board (965p and such) that has a second IDE.. Do any of them have it? I dont' want to buy ANOTHER harddrive.... :mad:

Hey, just seeing if anyone can give an opinion on it.. I was thinking of buy Darkstar, previews looked really promising and want to know if its living up to the hype.

Hey I have a friend that just went through a massive upgrade (though I'm surprised he did it so close to Conroe coming out, buutt thats just me :confused: ).. Nothing strange about the system except he went with two X1600XT in Crossfire.. I was like "WAAAHH??", mind you the price was...

Sony has been throwing around alot of mixed signals about the PS3 and some of the latest stuff from Sony: is running YOUR CHOICE of operating system. If you could smoothly install Vista/Xp or Mac OSX on a ps3, and be able to play PC games on it, would you be willing to buy the 'premium'...

Since the game it self scales to your level (most of the time, over compensating). I have been debating using it, but wondering if it kills the challenge that the game has. Does it just give them less gear? Or less HP? What happens?

I want to hear everyones thoughts on big PC game launches, and what they expect out of the biggest game for the year so far (I guess, its the only game I keep hearing about). I am getting it.. My expectation IS TODAY, After work :( EDIT - correction , tomorrow probably, today I will be just...

I have a 42'' plasma widescreen TV, its native resolution is 1024x768. Is there a way to force 1024x768 into an aspetc ratio of 16:9 on my Nvidia Geforce 6800-Ultra (using the 81.94 driver release)? I run Windows Xp Pro sp2. I've noticed that some new games (like DnD: Online) have the option...

I ordered mine over the weekend - it looks like alot of e-tailers have it! whew, I was worried it was going to get delayed further.. Well this is good news. I wonder how DTS for games is gonna sound :D ? I will be definitely post my impression ASAP. I changed the title to make my...

I had recently picked up a monster deal of a plasma screen - Insignia IS-HDPLTV42 - $2000can. - (I've found places that have had it much lower and will be doing lots of price matching) - Anyways, I can plug in the VGA and it runs fine. No problems, looks great. But when I try to use the...

Do you need WinXP media edition to stream files through the xbox360 or is there just some program you need to download? I'd really like to know because my old soft-modded xbox was a great media center, but now can barely run any of the new HD stuff... and I'm pretty sure the xbox360 will...

I am unsure as to wether this thread goes into the HTPC section or in here in the nvidia section. I had gotten a 6800Ultra I had never actually tried using dual monitor since I got it awhile ago. I am Currently using the 81.85 drivers. The 6800U has two DVI ports on the back, and I'm...

Ok, activated my copy of RDKF - and its Definitely REALLY WEIRED!!! But it works well, and its fun.. Just wish the 'single player' was a little longer. Less 'cut scenes' and more levels would have been nice. (took 2 hours, end-guy took a few tries) - Havn't played multiplayer yet...

First off - I'm really happy with Dod:Source, its AWESOME.. However the HDR really bugs me, I like the brighter scenes and such.. but the STUPID BLOOM.... The Band of Brothers demo also gave the same feeling, all bloom..why is half of the effect is adding annoying bloom? (The lights in Dod...

Ok, the advertising has got me intriegued, this the first time I've heard of this game at all.. Whats it like? Is it gladiator style? FPS?

I'm looking to get one of the newer PSU's, but I have an old mobo (abit Is7-G), on the ncix website they have converters for the pins, from 24 to 20, and was wondering if this was something to worry about? should I stick to 20pin PSU's? P.S. looking to get the Fortron bluestorm 500w, its...
