    What happened to WoW?

    I don't know about you but THAT was the kind of crap that made me quit the game in the first place. Running MC every night for months and never getting the drop you wanted was infuriating. I recently decided to start playing again and I am SO happy that everything is now more rewarding to the...

    Street Fighter HD Remix

    Nooooooo After years of seeing nothing but OG Sagats in SF competitions, the last thing I want to see is even MORE of them when I'm playing online.

    Agreed. It could've been a LOT worse. As long as her parents aren't finding used rubbers and piss filled coke bottles then I would say she was lucky. :cool:

    Official World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Litch King Thread

    50-59 BG bracket is freaking stupid right now. Nothing but Death Knights running around. The other day, I was in Arathi Basin with 14 DKs and myself as the lone non-DK. I think I'm gonna hold off PVPing for a bit until the DK craze fades.

    TeamSpeak Vs. Ventrilo

    Ventrilo has superior sound quality. Teamspeak has a more user friendly interface. You really can't go wrong with either one but I like Ventrilo better.

    Is GTX 280 lousy?

    I own both the 4870x2 and the GTX280 and the nvidia card is much much quieter. Here were my temps with stock clocks: Idle or web surfing 4870x2 --> 35% fanspeed --> 45-47 degrees F GTX280 --> 50% fanspeed --> 49-51 degress F The 4870x2 at 35% is barely audible, a hair louder than the GTX280...

    Foxconn Quitting The Branded Motherboard Market?

    We are primarily an ODM but we do put out the occasional self-branded board. I've worked at Foxconn for nearly 3 years as a board designer and I assure you we do quality work.

    WoW Plague makes headlines :)

    About time they got rid of this nonsense. I recently started playing again after a 2-year hiatus and my lowbie characters were constantly getting killed by this crap.

    4870x2 Naked & Ghetto mod pics[DIAL-UP KILLER!!!]

    Ugly yet functional. Have you tried fitting it in a case yet? At least with the stock ATI cooler, the heat gets blown out the back of the PC.

    You know..I kind of hate 3d

    I'm not so sure about that. Play old NES games like Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, or Mega Man and you would see considerable slow down during busy parts of the game.

    WoW 3.0, thoughts/comments?

    WOW 3.0 is what WOW will be with the new expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. When Burning Crusade came out, the game was bumped up to 2.0. Now with another expansion, the game is bumping up to 3.0.

    Ati Catalyst 8.10 is out

    On another positive note, the new CCC in 8.10 fixes the hanging GPU utilization bug for Vista X64 users.

    Ati Catalyst 8.10 is out

    Just installed 8.10 over my 8.9 drivers last night for my 4870x2. Here are my thoughts: The installation seems to freak out on Vista Ultimate 64. During the installation, an error message will pop up saying I'm missing an INF file. I close the pop up and finish the process, reboot, and...

    Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway ?

    I HATE the new cover system. Sure it looks cool and is very useful but one of the things I loved about the previous BIA games was the ode to realism when it came to firing your weapon. In previous games, you had to use the iron sights on your gun to fire otherwise you would be grossly...

    4870x2 and hanging GPU utilization?

    You can just use the Catalyst Control Center to monitor your GPU load/temps. Open it up and click on the Overdrive tab.

    4870x2 and hanging GPU utilization?

    It's not a huge problem per se. It's just really annoying like having a bug bite right behind your knee.

    Three monitors with Vista 64-bit?

    I'm running games at 1920x1200 with full AA and all options maxed. I'm not sure if a regular 4870 can hang since the X2 also has more memory for texture heavy games. Crossfire/SLI is also not worth it IMO since you're paying double the price for maybe a 30-40% increase in performance AT BEST.

    Three monitors with Vista 64-bit?

    Oops, I forgot to add that I am NOT intending to use Crossfire. I simply wanted to add another card in order to utilize 3 displays.

    Three monitors with Vista 64-bit?

    Just wanted to see if this would work for Vista 64: Primary slot --> Radeon 4870X2 --> single 27 inch LCD Secondary slot --> Radeon 4850 --> 2 19 inch LCDs Obviously, the 27 incher will be my primary. I intend to have winamp, firefox, teamspeak, and ventrilo on the other screens so I don't...

    4870x2 and hanging GPU utilization?

    MSI P45 Platinum here. Looks like the OS might be the culprit if we are all using Vista 64-bit with SP1 and official 8.9 drivers. :p

    4870x2 and hanging GPU utilization?

    Yeah I have this problem too. Hopefully, ATI is aware of this and will fix this with the next set of Catalyst drivers. In the meantime, I have to launch a game and exit out in order to get it to 0%. :(

    iBUYPOWER P4 Custom @ [H] Consumer

    I too am a former owner of a POS ibuypower computer. About 4 years ago I had saved enough money to get a decent midrange Alienware machine. At the time, I knew a bit about computers and what I wanted but I was basically a novice who read a lot of computer magazines. I saw ibuypower's ads...
