    Project Cars?

    Just stumbled across some youtube videos for this game. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with it or has been following it? It simply looks epic: http://youtu.be/4NSjfaSw4_M I sold my G27 after finding GT5 to be terrible, but if this game pans out I'm going to have to sell my...

    FS: EVGA & Zotac 580 GTX 3GB cards

    Selling both because I don't even use them anymore. Stopped playing BF3 and Skyrim and nothing else interests me at the moment. I've had them both since October. Heat: dethred (only one sale using it, as I usually use craigslist). Sold a few cards on here before discovering Heatware. I have...

    BF3: Worst singleplayer ever?

    Now the multiplayer is pretty awesome despite tons of console compromises... But does anyone here actually think the Single player is decent? I was about to gouge my eyes out after playing the jet mission. Its just terrible right down to the voice acting. I never thought I'd say this, but...

    9600GSO loses monitor signal and changes res.

    I am not sure whether this is a software issue or driver issue, but its ruining my home theater PC experience. Basically, the problem occurs when I boot up the PC. Everything will be fine, I can see the post screen and windows 7 login screen. Once I log in, the screen goes blank, and the only...

    Overclocking and 2D clocks.

    Has anyone been able to overclock their 5800 series cards and successfully maintain the card's ability to switch clock modes for power savings? When using AMD Clock utility or whatever its called, it will no longer downclock. In other words, the card is always stuck at 1000mhz when I...

    Neon blues and greens w/5870

    I have been trying to fix this for days, but I have been having overly-bright green and blue colors in every circumstance with my new XFX 5870 and 9.12 WHQL drivers. Its not an issue with my display, as my 8800GTS and previous cards didn't have this problem. Attempts to correct the color...

    Eyefinity and poor vision question.

    Can anyone running eyefinity tell me if it would be worth using 3 monitors in either configuration for eyefinity with the use of one eye? I just bought a large TV to use for my main display, while planning on getting a 5XXX series card, and then saw a deal in which I could buy two more 24"...

    MW2 Sounds suck.

    Is it just me, or do the gunfire and numerous other sound effects in Modern Warfare 2 complete blow? They don't sound any better than COD 1. Compare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5UCBEHMjJU (COD6 3:36) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1cOK78nZKU (COD1) And then here's a real game with...

    ZipZoomFly rebate scam?

    Long story short, early last month ZZF had a sale on the Western Digital 640GB Black drives, which were $60 after rebate. I bought one, and finally got around to mailing the rebate off yesterday. Why did I wait so long? Because my build was delayed and I wanted to wait for confirmation of...

    2008, a terrible year for PC gaming.

    This year was horrible. The big titles for 2008 seemed to have either suffered from being console ports, or they were simply horrible to begin with. Far Cry 2 - Terrible gameplay, never finished it myself, most people seemed to hate it. Activation limits. Crysis Warhead - Supposed to be...

    GTA IV: Performance boost.

    So I was reading one of the GTA forums, and some people were getting better results by turning off the playback feature in the options menu. Now I can play smoothly at 1920x1200, everything maxed out except view distance (keeping it inside 1GB Vram). Try it!

    Well after a few days of struggling with a new problem, my 1-year old Gigabyte P35 DQ6 won't boot with 4GB. I have used 4GB of 800mhz Crucial Ballistix for the last year and as of a few days ago, it keeps turning off right before POST and after a few seconds reboots. this cycle continues with...

    Well, Looks like Punkbuster B isn't working in Multiplayer. I have read a few other sources and its not working in Vista x64 (supposedly). So now I can't even play the game's Multiplayer mode. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

    Automatic fan not working after 8.8b reinstall.

    I haven't noticed this in every game, but my 4870x2 just started flickering while playing 2142. I went into GPU-z to check the temps and it was hitting 100C when the fan decided to kick up to 100% and drop back down. I haven't noticed anything like this and temps have been around 85C load. I...

    4870x2 issues...

    So I have been loving the card minus the heat being pumped out against the wall and back towards my legs. One of the only issues I've had so far is with Crysis. I am playing at 1920x1200 no AA, DX9 Very high hack in Vista 64. Game started out running perfect! 50fps on average. Since yesterday...

    Official 8800GTX to 4870x2 thread.

    Since many of us are getting the 4870x2 from Best Buy today, and many others have already received theirs from other vendors, I figured it would be a good time to share some experiences. So, for those of you that have upgraded from the great 8800GTX to the new 4870x2 as a direct upgrade...

    Could the 4870x2 be the next 8800GTX?

    Let me preface this with the fact that I have no brand loyalty, and I try to buy the best card for the money. This time around I splurged and bought the best performing card regardless of cost. I have owned Nvidia and ATI cards through my years of PC gaming. My question really boils down to...

    EVGA going downhill.

    Let me preface this with my previous experience with EVGA. When I first switched from XFX to EVGA, I really thought they were great. Had a few problems that weren't specific to EVGA, but their customer service made up for it. No long waits on hold, quick website, and customer service people...

    Pondering a switch to ATi

    Well, pending some more reviews of the 3870 X2, I will probably be switching to ATi/AMD again, although its been 7 years since my 7200 radeon. My big questions are: 1.) Are there any companies that provide about the same level of service as XFX or EVGA on the following terms? -Lifetime...

    Biostar TF560 A2+ board troubles.

    So I built my fiance a machine for Christmas with a Brisbane 4000+ and 4gb of ram. About 50% of the time it hangs on boot at the memory recognition. When that happens it literally takes about 2 minutes to get past the initial boot screen. I guess its not too bad but sometimes it literally...

    This can't be right.

    G92 GTX? Is it even plausible?

    Hey guys, I was pondering that Nvidia has almost knocked the GTX out of any reasonable consumer's possible upgrade lists with the GT. Now we see a G92 GTS on the horizon, making it at least the 4th GTS available. If this card indeed has 128sp and a base clock of 650mhz as rumored, what are the...

    Crysis+multithreading=lie?

    From what I've been reading, it seems that Cevat Yerli was lying to the consumers when saying that Quad cores will have higher and more stable framerates than higher clocked dual cores. Anyone know anything about this?
