I am not trying to "smear" nvidia. Every video card I have ever purchased has been either 3dfx or Nvidia. I haven't intentionally stated any fallacies in the slightest degree - I said Nvidia's latest cards are having problems with older games. I guess FF and NWN aren't older games in your book...
Look at pc and console game graphics from twenty years ago and compare them to the graphics of today. There isn't a real comparison. The same can be said for movies and the displays (TVs, computer monitors, ect ect) that we view games and movies with.
People are obsessed with graphics. That...
Chrome isn't the only piece of software that does this sort of crap. Read the EULA when you're installing Microsoft Live Messenger - there is some scary crap in there.
Firefox has some weird crap as well, like This
Hardware:
Computer A: Fairly new computer, uses Vista Ultimate.
Computer B: Somewhat old, uses a fresh XP installation.
Modem: Siemens Speedstream
Router: Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router
Problem: I've lost my Linksys Router's Software CD, and I have been unable to setup a home...
Wow, I think it would be best if some of you guys slowly backed away from your computers and enter the real world. NEWS FLASH! Not everyone is computer literate. Your average computer user probably knows how to execute simple tasks, like installing software, listening to music, and surfing the...
Online gaming can easily be addictive. Of my ten classmates in my old highschool networking class, five of them bombed their first year of college due to WoW. Four of them had scholarships too. All of that is down the drain. These guys don't get laid. They don't socialize outside of WoW. They...
I have two 8800GT cards, and only 4 gb of ram, but aside from that my setup is like yours. When I first setup this rig, it worked flawlessly. After a format, I crash like a mofo. Not sure what gives.
I used the website you recommended. I tested a port, and the website indicated that the port is "stealthed." Maybe I am messing up somewhere along the lines?
OS: Vista (Ultimate, 64 bit.)
Modem: 4200 Siemens, Speedstream.
Problem: Recently I moved to a rural part of my state. Sadly, I had to switch from Comcast Cable to Windstream's DSL. Since changing ISPS, I've been unable to host my Neverwinter Nights mod. For all intensive purposes, I...
I think it's funny that ATI Lovers still desperately cling to the 'good days' when ATI released quality products. Buddy, the days of the 9700 and the 9800 were a looong time ago. ATI has taken a beating ever since the 6 series cards were released by Nvidia.
Here are my two cents....
1.) NwN2 and The Witcher use variations on the same engine, so to say NwN2's engine is 'buggy' and The Witchers isn't... is quite simply retarded. The Witcher began as a player made module for NwN1. Bioware and Atari liked The Witcher so much, that they leased the...
The police will likely aid in his death as well. It's not too uncommon for police to place pedophiles in cells where they know the sicko will get beaten to death. I know of a case where a pedophile priest was placed in a cell next to a man who'd been imprisoned for killing pedophiles and...
I do not mean to sound vulgar, but I'll be brutally honest - the next account of sodomy this guy is involved in will be his own. Prisoners have an honor system, and raping children is a huge no no. He's not high-profile enough to garner protection from the popo. He'll get raped and possibly killed.
Yes, I am used to Realtek Onboard Audio. This is the first Soundcard I've used. (Got it with my MSI 780i Mobo.)
The Headset I have has two plugs, one red, one black. I plugged them into the Red and Black jacks in the back of my Soundcard.
I just purchased my first headset. My headset is a Logitech Extreme 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural PC Gaming Headset.
I plugged them in the back of my soundcard and.... nothing. The silence is deafing. Windows Vista isn't detecting any new hardware, and it says I don't have headphones plugged...
Roughly three weeks ago I purchased a gig of Patriot Ram for my GF's aging Socket A system. The Timings on her ram are set correctly, and it passed Memtest without any issues.
Here is the problem. When she exits Neverwinter Nights (her favorite game), she gets the following error code...
When I play certain games like Oblivion and NwN2, I get this weird error saying my Nvidia Driver has stopped responding but recovered. Right before I get this message, my screen flickers black for a moment.
My specs:
Processor: Q6600 (Neither core is running past 37C ( about 90 F)...
Price might also be an issue.
The Q6600 is being sold for $254 w/ Free Shipping at New Egg.
I think the Q9300 and the Q9450 are going to be in short supply. Demand will jack up the prices, then you have price guaging too...
I would not be surprised if the Q9450 sells for about $400+...
I recently purchased Windows Vista Ultimate (Retail Version.)
Here is my problem.
I am building a new computer. I want to know if I can have Vista installed on both my new and my old computer, or if I'll have to buy a new copy/license to do this.
It's simple. Nvidia is in the same position as Intel. ATI/AMD lost the performance crown and they've been playing catch up for awhile now.
The 8800GTX debuted awhile ago (about two years ago if I am not mistaken.) and it is still going strong. Nvidia is going to sit back and milk the 8xxx...
Not all video cards are designed for gaming. I know this is likely an earth-shattering concept for you. I'll pardon you for not grasping this concept. *Pats you on the back.*
Alright.
People wanted a budget, I provided them with an arbitrary number.
I wasn't aware that quality -gaming- speakers cost so much.
I did not state that I wanted a home threater or anything that spectacular, and for some reason I've my doubts that most gamers shell out half a grand...
Risky move on Intel's part.
Nvidia still makes SLI motherboards for AMD. Most games are GPU bound, not CPU bound.
A half decent AMD processor and two 8800GT cards will get more FPS in games than a fast Intel processor and one 8800GT. I know SLI is still considered a 'niche' market, but it...
I feel like both ATI -and- Nvidia have "dropped the ball." I am disappointed by both companies. Neither of them are really pushing ahead with innovative technology. They're just recycling old hat tech. They're milking their GPUs for all they're worth. I guess that is good for them from a...
This is pretty depressing, but it makes my second 8800GT purchase seem all the wiser. I'll just run two GT's in SLI and stick with them. I was hoping for a killer 9 series card, but I don't think that is going to happen now.
It is possible that all of this speculation is FUD, but I have my...
