How's the CRT support in Windows 7 with NVIDIA's drivers? Still crappy? I'm going to be installing Server 2008 R2 tomorrow (essentially a glorified Windows 7), and I'm wondering what the best route is to take. I have an 8800 Ultra, which I may or may not upgrade to something else. I like to...

Don't. ATI's CRT support is even WORSE. I have not been able to get any sort of decent resolution + refresh rate control happening on my Server 2008 box (aka Windows Vista) with ATI, so I'm back on NVIDIA now. What's sad is that I paid a nice premium to get two 4850s on launch day, only to...

That's CDMA, right?

Depends. Is hardocp2 trying to directly compete with HardOCP? Is hardocp2 trying to make a profit using the HardOCP name? In this case, no. Therefore, it constitutes fair use under US copyright law. I am in agreement with their use of the domain and name as such, however, the whole "Wikipedia...

I came to a sad realization today. I will have to switch to another display within the year, probably in a couple of months. Over the past year or so, my monitor would suddenly go out of focus for about 3-4 seconds, and then "pop" back into focus. This happens a few times a week. Recently, that...

LMAO! :D I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Not now, they won't. As others have pointed out, the usual super hot deals that we find are sold at a loss or at cost, often purely for strategic marketing reasons or to spur sales of other items. Those get cut back in a period of recession. So, the main hot deals you'll find these days are...

Can't agree with you. It wasn't overpriced considering what it offered at the time. This was 6 years ago, a direct-view CRT offering 1125i/750p (I'm guessing the ATSC version was 1080i/720p) at 36". It was succeeded by the Qualia 006 and Qualia 007 TVs, although they were LCD and LCoS...

LMFAO. http://www.amazon.com/Hitachi-Magic-Wand-G-Spotter-Attachment/dp/B00005M1WF Hitachi "G-Spotter" Attachment (flower not included)

Looks like most of the work in CryEngine 3 was for the particle system. I'm guessing the rest is just simplification of various portions of the engine and optimizations. More like CryEngine 2.1. Well, that's what I gathered from what was shown, at least. And Crysis sales were shitty because...

Bump for The Beach Boys.

Return it, but take a picture, sounds interesting.

I have an old X2VGA2 that I'm not using, I'll sell it to you if you want to go the component-to-VGA route -- well, provided shipping from Montreal isn't too bad. If you want one new though, it's still cheap cheap, $60+shipping I think; it was a more expensive back when I got it. :( It was...

555 = Open; they leak a bit, let in a lot. Poor mids; lower frequencies lacking detail, although bass level in general is heavier; sounds wider (due to being open); good soundstage. 280 Pro = Closed; leak nothing, let in nothing. Bass level is low and falloff is a bit short, but low freqs are...

Sorry, it was a while back, I should have clarified that. I'm think they fixed it with a firmware update or something, although I myself am still a little weary of the F1 series. Then there are Seagate's recent plethora of problems and sub-par customer service as of late (for me at least). So...

1. Samsung F1 is louder. 2. Samsung F1 uses more power. 3. Samsung F1 has a higher rate of failure. Unless you have fast and large storage needs, there is no reason to not get the GP drives over anything else. I use my larger drives for data, while my 2-platter 640s are for software.

Yep. This is the main reason I got it. Sound sucks, but the video is worth it. It's really a "compact SLR". The problem with that is that it, like other compact cameras, has a much smaller CCD. The thing about the SX10 is that it doesn't shoot in RAW.

Sony KV-40XBR800, 4:3 screen, but it displayed a 4:3 image at 40" and 16:9 at 37". The biggest HD direct-view CRT, it had a resolution of 853x1080 interlaced, and even had an HDCP-compatible DVI port. The cream of the crop was the KD-34XBR960 and KD-36XS955, 1440x1080 interlaced through HDMI...

I'd rather a 2707WFP over a 2709W for gaming, it's faster. Color levels are also more uniform.

I saw those. I wanted to get 5 more to build a wall of FW900s, but it would cost me something like $900 to ship it here.

BAHAHA! Roxanne, way to improve one of my favorite songs.

Prices get lower and lower. As they reach their last couple of days, prices bottom out.

CAPTCHA is getting fucking ridiculous. Some sites use stuff that is IMPOSSIBLE to decipher half the time, especially what vBulletin uses. Plus there's that audio thing Google uses, which I have never been able to understand. reCAPTCHA has done an excellent job. Everyone should be using their...

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars rocks! Gotta reinstall that once I get my new system up and running.

These drives are supposed to be really cool and quiet. They are pretty damn slow with AAM on though, and when you turn off AAM there's not much point in having it except for the reduced power consumption.

FW900 is not the best CRT, but it's the only widescreen one I've ever seen for sale in North America. It is one of the best, but is easily outdone by some high-end 4:3 CRTs, like Sony's own F520. NEC/Mitsubishi makes a few nice ones, as well.

Budget of $200 before shipping costs. Looking for full-tower cases like this, the V2010: Doesn't have to be THIS particlar case, nor does it have to be Lian Li, could be another brand built by Lian Li (like the ABS Black Pearl), or any case really, as long as it's black, looks good, and...

You do realize that it takes proper camera settings and, above all else, a proper camera to be able to take a photo of any display, right? Besides, let's assume that those pictures are proper. From what I can tell, you are suffering from some severe black crush, lighter shades are too bright...

Eh? With the current state of LCDs, they cannot, under any circumstance, have blacks even close to a direct-view CRT. In fact, Sony's direct-view 1080i CRTs (only available up to 40") are pretty much unbeatable as televisions compared to today's plasmas and LCDs, with the sole exceptions being...

I had trouble with the latest drivers as well. Switched back to the "GTA IV" drivers (180.84) worked for me under Server 2008 x64 (aka Vista x64 Fancy Pants Edition). Not sure why anyone would use a beta OS as their primary OS, though. Not a good idea.

Your average thief wouldn't steal an FW900. If you come home one day and it's missing, your friendly neighborhood nerd took it. I'm still looking for another FW900 to put next to this one. Ideally, I'd have 6 of these babies together, 3 on 3 stacked. I'd tear apart the bezels and put them...

W 130W X 95W E 80W Oops necrothread!

As the previous two posters have explained, you can pretty much make a CRT monitor run at any resolution provided it has the bandwidth and its internal components can support it. LCDs and Plasma have fixed pixels, so their max res is it. CRTs can run at any resolution "natively", but it has a...

You guys forget, the US prison system is set up for punishment, not rehabilitation. So, 36 years is what he gets. :rolleyes: It's not really that the games are bad for kids, it's that the parents are not at all fit to take care of kids.

Would be nice if some of these so-called "high-end" boards used Intel PRO/1000 LAN instead of some Marvell/Realtek crap. There are, but most are $200+. You can grab a PCIe 6-pin to 8-pin EPS adapter for a couple of bucks, though.

Windows Server 2008 x64, EVGA X58. Tried using SpeedFan, but it won't load. I can see the process is running, but the application itself appears to be frozen and does not open, nor does it appear in the system tray. This is why I miss my DFI boards. They have that SmartGuardian software which...
