As long as there is a first person view, ie Cockpit view, I'll be buying it for the same reasons as the OP. (So disappointed at Blazing Angels lack of cockpit view that I refused to buy the game)

Just wondering has anyone managed to sort out the Region compatability between the VISTA beta and European Pal 360's. ie the Vista Beta MCE functionality doesn't work with a Pal 360 and gives a region error code. I'd install the Beta at the drop of a hat only for the fact that I use the...

See I told you my brain wasn't working at this late hour. Just blew my own idea out of the water alreay, but I can see why the thought didn't occur to my at first. Your head isn't necessarily going to track what your eyes are. My headset idea would be tracking head movement, not eye movement...

Read that IGN link Stevie. Very interesting discussion. A lot of the brainstorming was about about how to look rather than point in Metroid. ie Centre box in which Wiimote works as a pointer and moving the cursor outside the box to the edge of the screen Top/bottom/left/right makes the in game...

Ironic that I won't be getting a revolution for its quirky games, its mario's or its zelda's etc. I'll be getting it for its FPS's!! Simply cant get used to console FPS joypad control. Roll on the Rev controller! :D

3.4 P4 650,2gig ram, X850XTPE (not OC) 1920x1200 CAT 5.8 Everything on high, 16AF 2AA 30-60FPS Keeps my framerates below the 60hz/60FPS threshold on my 2405 so very very little tearing and seems smooth to me. Certainly never notice anything when it drops to sub 30 probably becasue it...

I used to get major texture corruption. Cockpits would go black with a black square for the rotors in FPV. Sometimes I would get black featureless guns as descirbed earlier and the gun sound effects would disappear. Somtimes if I zoomed in the scoped view would be black. While I never had...

My basic understanding of Tearing, V-sync and triple buffering is this...... Tearing is caused when the frame rate is higher than the monitor refresh rate. So this is why you get less tearing in FarCry than HL2. FarCry is harder on the graphics card than HL2 and it cant push as many frames in...

Not difficult with 99% of Sapphire 9800pro's as they use the XT PCB and have the LM88(or whatever its called) temp sensor. When flashed this becomes usable. That alone would be reason for me to flash even if I intended to keep the clocks at pro speeds. ATItool gives me the readins and mine idles...

Cause your 'target' in your BF2 shortcut properties doesn't have +szx 1920 +szy 1200 on the end Assuming you installed to the default drive and folders the target for your shortcut with the WS Resolution hack should read "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen...

I run 1920x1200 on my 2405 with everything on high except no AA on my non OC X850XTPE (P4 3.4 650+ 2gigs Ram) Are we quoting average frame rates? Renderer.draw FPS gives me 2 numbers. Are they both FPS? First varies from 40 when the screen is busy up to 80 or 90. Second number usually hovers...

I would concur with what the others have said. I just ordered another gig (2x512mb) from crucial for my XPS gen 4. Should arrive in a day or two. Just check and make sure your current gig is in the form of 2 512 sticks in 2 of the slots and order your second gig in the form of another 2 512...

Well I'm taking Socrilles word for the stabilty but I trust him. After some hard thinking today I've decided to purchase a Dimension 9100 with a 3ghz 630 instead. Reason being that our old Dimension 8200 (upgraded last year to 2.8, 512ram and 9800pro->XT) is getting a LOT more use than...

Sorry for resurrecting this thread but although I had decided against doing this mod, I just can't get the idea out of my head. Now I know there is no point doing it with my 650 as that yields a 4.5ghz OC requiring research into a voltage mod too, as well as better cooling probably, but as...

Yeah, I figured they should have been out by now but didn't even bother checking the ati site lately as I assumed there would be a rash of '5.7's are out!' threads on various forums to let me know!! [.....goes off to start download] :D

I've got an X850XTPE and I get the same screen corruption and then blackout for 30 seconds or so before everything goes back to 'normal'. Happens once or twice a round but I never CTD. Card isn't overclocked and I am/was using the Cat 5.6's. Had the Cat 5.6 overheat fan issue which has been...

Actually your point about the arm and the gun is semi valid. It looks like rather than cutting off an equal amount top and bottom to create the 16:10 ratio, they are cutting double off the top.

Oh the Irony! I guess the rumours are true, americans just don't 'do' Irony. Nobody put a gun to your head either to create a pointless thread. Your initial Dell cheerleader question would be valid if we were talking about a particular thread were someone had a valid issue with Dell and...

Where do people go overboard with praise?? They don't even go overboard with praise on the bloody official Dell forums FFS. In all my years on various forums I don't think I've ever seen a thread started with the express purpose of praising Dell. The only time I see Dell get praise is...

Why is it whenever anyone mentions that they have a Dell, or are thinking of getting one you get people like you running round "DUDE. WTF, why did you get a Dell, you dumbass, Dell are ghey....blah blah blah" No one said they are perfect but they aren't half as bad as people like you make...

I thought I heard it was 'True' widescreen, ie 16:10 without stretching but that this was achieved by cutting the top and bottom rather than adding to the sides (pretty sure I've seen screenshots somewhere demonstrating this fact too). ie rather than WS users benefiting from a wider field of...

I haven't got Quake 2 to do this test but your AAA example does sound like what I saw on my friends 20ms Dell 1905FP and is akin to my Superman/Smallville running special effect example. I simply do not see this on my 2405 on any Game be it FarCry,HL2, BF2,WOW, ROTW etc etc. What I do see is a...

All LCD's blur to some extent on pans. The 2405 is no different (Blurs less than most I hear). No one said it didn't blur. People said it didn't ghost and imo it doesn't. They are two different things. Blurring is when textures...well... blur slightly when you pan your ingame view. Ghosting is...

Yeah, I got an Intel processor that wouldn't work and then I got an AMD processor that wouldn't work, I'm never getting an Intel or AMD processor ever again :D :D

I dont see ghosting on my 2405. A mate has a Dell 1905 20ms and that had some serious ghosting to my eyes. Nadda on my 2405. What I do see occasionally is mild blurring of textures on pans but every LCD does that afaik and tbh even that is a non issue. The only thing I see that could be...

I've just gotta re-iterate what many others have said. That shuttle is absolutley stunning with your mod. Could the side panel be dremeled even though you used a different method according to your thread on soompi and where did you get the chrome piping and did you use cathode tubes or LED's...

Heres my Dell XPS Gen 4 with 24 inches of Dell 2405FPW goodness :D Printers are Dell OEM too. On top is a Dell 540 photo printer and underneath is a Dell 962 AIO printer/copier/fax. Yes I am an OEM whore!! :D The only things in the pic that don't have a Dell badge are the Creative I-Trigue 3500...

Thats very reassuring that yours can go up to 4.1 sometimes Socrilles on Stock 8400 air and voltages. Gives me hope that the improved cooling in the XPS makes this OC a done deal with a 3.2 As for the mates PC, Its an XPS gen4 like mine but about 4 months older. He originally ordered a Gen 3...

Ya got me worried now because my Pcie850XTPE idles 48-52 (Its 52atm though it is warm here today) and load gets to 82-83. The only reason load isn't even higher is I got an ATI temp warning popup while playing BF2 the other day and I installed ATItool for the fan control and set it for 50% when...

I'm not pretty sure and that was why I was asking Socrilles. He performed a solder mod on his 925XE and 630 in his Dell Dimension 8400. That mobo supports EE's running on a 1066FSB so the mod switches the mobo from 800 to 1066. Its the only way to OC these Dells because of the bios being locked...

Socrilles mate, did you ever get around to removing the heatsink and 630 from your 8400 to take pics of your solder mod? I have a mate with a spare XPS Gen4(don't ask!) and he can't sell it so I may be buying it off him very cheap. Its identical to mine except it has 2x74gig raptors in raid 0...

Everytime I shutdown I am getting an 'Ending Program' window titled .NET broadcast viewer. Anyone know what this is?

I've had a non-overclocked X850XTPE for about 4 weeks and all of a sudden over the last day or two I've been getting CCC overlays appearing in game warning that the card is overheating. Happened during Rome Total War yesterday and the BF2 Demo today. TBH the room temperature doesn't feel any...

Looks like they do!! Dell XPS4 3.4 650 1gig PC4300 X850XTPE everything at stock Old '05 score was 5862 with the 5.4/5.5's New score is 6242!! with the 5.6's I thought I was going to have to do some OC'ing to see 6000+ Woohoo! http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=917560

Ah, thought so. Saw some guys on extreme talking about upping their voltage on their six series to about 1.5 for their 4.5-5ghz overclocks on consumer mobo's. Thought, hey my Dell mobo/cpu is already running at that for some reason, woohoo!...but did figure it was too good to be true! :D...

Just had a search for some pics of the LGA775 sockets and cpu's. Contact pads on the underside of the CPU and spring loaded pins in the socket. How on earth did your mate manage to solder these?? Wouldn't the solder just break once the pins moved when you seated the cpu and wouldn't that be...

Pretty suprised myself because I never considered using AA because of the threads on the 2405 in the monitor forum. ie everyone was suprised that the performance hit at that res wasn't as bad as everyone thought it would be, but the verdict was unanimous that enabling AA and AF would definately...

P4 650 3.4ghz 1 gig 4200 533mhz Ram X850XTPE (not OC'd) 1920x1200 All details to max 6xAA 16xAF V-Sync on (Need this to stop tearing on my display) Avg FPS - 51.37 V-Sync off Avg FPS - 80.86

Its the new XPS Gen 5 with the 955 mobo and dual core 840. What I gathered was that the 840 could be overclocked from 3.2 up to 3.6 in the Dell Bios. Imagine that, an officially overclockable Dell!! Question is whether the Bios would allow you to overclock any chip you put into that mobo. Would...
