After spending hours of tweaking I found a way to enjoy ultra quality Crysis with playable fps. With the tweaked files, I can get the quality that even better than very high setting but with a very good fps. My spec is Core 2 3.15GHz, 2GB RAM, a single 8800GTX (630/950), 169.09, Windows XP. I...

in case anyone interested, i m selling my fw900 at ebay in UK listing will end on 27/9

How to do that? Via a adaptor or what?

Hi all FW900 owners How long will you keep using this monster? Without HDCP support it probably can't display 1080p materials for PS3, Blu ray DVD, etc. I have a FW900 and have no complain at all. Colour, black (of course), everything is perfect! I can't decide whether I should change to a...

thanks for your reply. so you mean when I share the copy for two computers, microsoft will know I share and possibly banned my license? Typically how do they know sharing same license? (I assume they set no limit for activation for vista, if activation is still required in vista)

I know we cannot share the license for two computers at the same time (retail version). We need to uninstall from one computer and use that on another one. But how does microsoft know a particular license has been uninstalled when I install the same copy on another computer?

sounds like I need to get a new PSU to feed the monster...any recommend psu?

I am planning to buy the R600 GPU and I have an Antec TruePower 2.0 550W PSU, which has dual 12V rail and gives a total of 38A max. Would this enough for powering the monster?

Now I am having a X1900XT and it runs most current game fine at 1680x1050 or above. Should I add another X1900 master card for around £230 and go crossfire? As my X1900XT will be slowing down for the upcoming games. I probably wont be getting G80 as I see no points to get a directx10 card so...

when I try to launch these 3 games, I will get a grey screen and then back to desktop, without any error message. Someone said that is because of OpenAL driver, but I have updated all my drivers still no luck. My spec: Core 2 E6400 @2.56GHz HIS iceq3 x1900xt (641/747) (Catalyst 6.8) Asus...

I am going to build a new pc in late July, with Intel Conroe processor E6600 and ATI X1900XTX. Which motherboard should I use to comptaible with E6600, X1900XTX and DDR2 ram?? I found a list of Conroe compatiable motherboard, but still don't know which to choose. Please help. Thanks for...

Thanks for your opinion I am planning to get Intel Conroe E6700 when it comes out at late July, this will beat AM2 FX60 with cheaper price! I am using sont 24" CRT FW900 which support very high resolution and there should be no problem for me.

yes the reviews of 7950GS2 and X1900XTX are pretty close, although 7950GX2 seems a bit better, except one area, it cannot do AA and HDRL at the same time but X1900XTX can. I think it might not be a big problem for as AA is less important for running at high resolution, I would run at least...

I did some research on latest graphics cards technology (been out of pc gaming so long :p ) but I am very confused about ATI crossfire and Nvidia's GeForce SLI. Please clarify me.. I know ATI newest series is X1900 series. How many kinds of cards are in X1900 series? 1. X1900 XT (single...

The text on my FW900 is a bit blurry when running at full 100 contrast level. When I lower the contrast and its all fine, is it normal? I thought its common for a CRT monitor. I am running at 1600x1024 at 100Hz I updated the DRIVE_MAX value from 210 to 300 to boost the contrast using...

Is there any test pattern I can use from the web to ensure that my monitor is right in geometry, convengence and things like that?

I ordered a cable from here I think i need to do some modification to the cable to suit the FW900. How exactly should I do? I have no experience on this. Thanks.!
