    Corsair HX620 good enough for GTX 260 SLI?

    My rig is below.I recently upgraded my mobo/CPU/RAM on a budget. My PSU remains the same (5 years old). Since my GTX 260 is getting a little long in the tooth, I was thinking of grabbing a second GTX 260 for about $75 as another "budget-friendly" upgrade. I'd prefer to pick up a second GTX 260...

    Skyrim performance benchmark

    Thanks for the info, that's very helpful. I also have the GTX 260 core 216. I'm wondering if my CPU will be a limiting factor though.

    Skyrim performance benchmark

    Tempted to get this game for the PC but wondering if my PC will be able to handle it. I don't mind not playing at top settings but I'd like a decent frame rate and decent visuals. Rig is in my sig. Thoughts?

    AMD Phenom II X4 N970 vs. Intel Core i5 2410M

    I'm in the market for a laptop primarily for business use but also for some photo editing in Lightroom / Photoshop. Which of these CPUs would you guys recommend? The AMD is a quad-core but the Sandy Bridge i5 is hard to pass up and is newer. More specifically, the configurations I'm looking...

    Intel Celeron SU2300 vs. celeron 743

    SU2300 = 1.2ghz Dual Core 743 = 1.3ghz Single Core Looking for a netbook/notebook for the wife. I have been comparing the Gateway EC1433u and the EC1436u. These two models are nearly identical but the 1436 has the Celeron SU2300 and a 150gb HD and the 1433 has the Celeron 743 with a 260gb...

    I am in the market for a new phone for Verizon. I want a good web browser, email (exchange for work, yahoo for personal) and decent text messaging capabilities. I am looking at the Omnnia. It seems to have a good browser, looks sleek and does email well (from what I can tell). However, the text...

    Can my CPU handle a video card upgrade?

    I think I'm leaning towards either a GTX275 or a 4890. Still doing some research as I've been "out of the loop" for a while now.

    Can my CPU handle a video card upgrade?

    Thanks for the input everyone. Will my power supply be able to handle any of the above cards? I have the Corsair HX620. I'll most likely be getting a single card.

    Can my CPU handle a video card upgrade?

    More specifically, would an upgrade be worth it? I'm considering a GTX260 or possibly one of the next gen cards that are around the corner. Will my CPU hold me back too much? My rig is in my signature. I'm not a heavy gamer but I do enjoy games from time to time. Playing Fallout 3 now. I game at...

    "Sleep" Mode problems in Windows 7

When I put the computer into sleep mode it goes to sleep but when it tries to wake back up I just get a black screen (although the computer itself comes back...

    Just bought the game last night. I installed it and patched it but by the time I had done all that it was time for bed. I am going to try it out tonight and I'm trying to decide which class/career to go with. I am considering either an archmage for the heals/dps aspect or a bright wizard. Any...

    Alone in the Dark

    I'm considering getting this game when it comes out tomorrow. I loved the original on PC a looong time ago. What I'm debating with myself is whether to get the PC version or the Xbox 360 version. Any thoughts on which might be the better choice? I really don't know much about this latest version...

    Best Gaming Keyboard

    The G11 is identical to the G15 except for the LCD (and the price). Since I didn't see a need for the LCD, I bought the G11 and am very happy with it. It's big and has a lot of keys (including a LOT of macro keys) which I like. The backlight (blue) is cool at night but not over the top. You...

    "Games" link is slow in Vista

    Running Vista 32-bit. I've noticed that my "games" link from the start menu loads pretty slowly. I have the icons set to "large icons" and it acts as a link, not a menu. There is a 1 to 2 second delay usually when opening it. Anyone else experience this with a fast system? If this is normal, is...

    Need new RPG or Strategy Game

    Titan Quest is great if you just want mindless hacking (which can be a lot of fun). As others have said, it's a lot like Diablo 2 (single player - nothing touches D2 Multiplayer). However, there really isn't any depth to the game beyond that. This is where games like NVN, NWN2, BG 1, BG2...

    Need new RPG or Strategy Game

    If you have a fairly powerful system, I would recommend Neverwinter Nights 2. I tried it when it first came out and didn't like it all that well because of a few bugs and because my system couldn't handle it very well. With a few patches and a more powerful system, I just recently picked it back...

    What are you? (Titan Quest)

    Thanks for the info. I guess being able to respec skills is better than nothing. So, I think I'm going to spring for the game - at $19 I probably can't go wrong. I'm thinking of making a summoner/mele character. Which masteries should I go with?

    What are you? (Titan Quest)

    I don't have this game yet but I'm seriously considering buying it tonight. A question: I understand you can find various NPCs throughout the game to undo your skill/talent changes - but does this let you switch among the various masteries? That is, could you switch from a storm/defense build to...

    Anyone got shadowrun on PC?

    I'm interested in this game too. Regarding RAM in Vista (32-bit here), if I'm going to add some, should I just get 2 512 sticks to round it out at 3GB since I'll be limited to around that amount anyway?

    TOTR Online

    I played this game when it was in beta (about 2-3 weeks before launch I believe) but wasn't all that impressed. I didn't really play for long though because the performance was spotty on my system (below). Did the retail version improve this at all for those who played the game just before launch?

    WoW - Which class for a returning player?

    Okay I think I'm leaning toward taking my rogue to 60. A couple of quick questions: 1.) What's a good lvling/grinding build? 2.) Are rogues undesirable in PUGs for dungeons? 3.) Daggers or swords, or is it a personal preference? Thanks...

    WoW - Which class for a returning player?

    What is the deal with weapon speed normalization (if that's the correct description)? Does it now mean that there's no or little difference between a hard-hitting slow crossbow and a fast, low damage bow? I'm still equiped with the AV crossbow lol.

    WoW - Which class for a returning player?

    I'm sort of thinking maybe I should take all 3 of my characters into BC and lvl them all equally and see how it goes. Then again, I might now have the time for that kind of a slow crawl.

    WoW - Which class for a returning player?

    Background: I played WoW at launch for a good year or so and quit because it was eating too much of my time. I then rejoined after a long break and was able to successfully play at a "casual" level (~2-3 hours in a sitting a few times a week). Well, after being on a break since the summer, I've...

    STALKER is absolutely fantastic!

    Okay because with both the handgun and now the sawed-off shotgun, I'm getting no crosshair. I've tried toggling it on and off in the options but it doesn't change at all. I'm running at 1600x1200, everything max (including AA) with lighting set to static.

    STALKER is absolutely fantastic!

    Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'm still not clear if there is supposed to be a crosshair. There is when I don't have my handgun out but as soon as a I equip the handgun I lose the crosshair. Aiming with the gun sight doesn't seem to work. I'll keep trying. Do other weapons produce a crosshair?

    STALKER is absolutely fantastic!

    I just started playing but I can't seem to get very far. I began the game and headed for the road. Is there supposed to be a crosshair for the handgun that you start with? I can't aim it at all and I've tried various settings. Am I missing something?
