Mass Effect 2 is amazing. IMO, the best game I've played in a long while. I used to play a lot of FPS and like the fact it's based off of the Epic Unreal engine. I like the story line and how they cut out all the BS of having to micromanange so many things that I don't really care about...

I used the BFG trade-up to go from a 9800 GX2 to a 280 OCX. The only games I have really played a lot is Oblivion and Sins of a Solar Empire. For Sins I play at 1680 x 1050 resolution with all settings at max. The 9800 GX2 could do 4X AA smoothly. The 280 OCX was very choppy at 4X AA and at...

Does anyone know if there is an XP driver for the 790GX? I'm going to use the integrated video and want to make sure there is a video driver for XP. I'm about to order the BIOSTAR TFORCE TA790GX and need to know this last piece of info. Thanks.

I just finished purchasing my 280 OCX on the BFG web site. I upgraded from a 9800 GX2. The cost of the Trade-Up was $18 for shipping. I got my 9800 GX2 back in April. A couple of months later NVIDIA released the 280. And a month after that I started my trade up. The trade up price was...

Can a moderator please move this to the Water Cooling forum? I'm considering getting the BFG 280 H2O. I already have an heat sink for my CPU, so for starters it will be just the 280 in the loop. I am thinking about getting the following from newegg. Swiftech MCP655 12 VDC Pump Liquid...

I initiated a Trade-Up back in June. A couple of days ago I get an email saying it's time to mail my card. I read the terms and conditions and it states: The value of the graphics card being traded up to will be the BFG Trade up value listed at the time of processing the request. I look at...

NVIDIA needs to enable PhysX and CUDA on their motherboard chipset mGPUs. It would make their motherboard chipsets much more enticing. It would be like getting a PhysX card built into your mobo. The drivers could automatically detect if PhysX is supported and allow you to use your mGPU like a...

Looking at the high end market, we have several choices. Go with 280 SLI costing $1200 for the video cards alone, which is really out of reach for most. We'll reserve that for the extreme high end. So, looking at the realistic choices for most of us, we can go with a single 280, 9800 GTS SLI...

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3338&p=1 I'm pretty impressed with the price and performance of ATI's new graphics card. ATI is back in the game. It looks like for $400, two of these in CF is the best solution out there. Amazing that the performance and price is this good...

My OCZ memory went bad after after using it for two months. Contacted OCZ and they said they would replace it. The service rep. was very courteous. Mailed them my old RAM and they Fed Exed overnight the new RAM back to me from California. Pretty good and fast service.

I built the PC in my sig. and had a problem right out of the box getting the memory to run at any speed over DDR 2 800. Last week the PC started crashing while playing games, so I had to run the memory at DDR 2 667 before it would be stable. I called OCZ, tried their suggestions and got an...

Tomorrow the last piece of my new PC will arrive and I'll start piecing it together. I have two choices as far as audio goes. I have a DFI LP LT P35-T2R motherboard that came with a "Bernstien Audio Device". According to the manual it is based on Azalia's 24-bit. Looking closely at the...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185061 I just ordered a new system. I was looking for something with lots of heat pipes and copper design. This cooler has six heat pipes and at least it looks like it will work well. So, I took a chance and ordered it. Does anyone...

Nice card for the money and free shipping. BFG is a great brand. Their graphics cards have a lifetime warranty that I have used before and they quickly honored. Ordered one of these today from Newegg.com for a budget system I'm building...

I installed my Abit KN8 into my new Coolermaster 810. That seemed to go OK. But when I tried to put my sound card and vid card in the slots, they don't seem to fit properly. The motherboard appears to be sitting too low in the case. I used the motherboard risers that came with the CM 810...

I can't find any good reviews on the Abit KN8 SLI or Ultra. Is anyone using this board? What kind of overclocks are you getting with it? The Abit KN8 SLI is only $109 at Newegg. It seems like too good of a deal to pass up. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127225

Does anyone know if e-GeForce 7800 GTX ACS³ (not the KO version) has a copper HSF? I can't find anything about it on EVGA's web site. It's really annoying when all they list is a bunch of marketing hype about the 7800 GTX that I can get from every review on the internet and tell me almost...

I'm going to get a 939 NForce 4 SLI motherboard for a new PC I'm building. The two I have narrowed it down to are the DFI NF4 SLI Infinity and the ABit KN8 SLI boards. I plan on running an Opteron 165 processor in it that I'm going to overclock. I'm going to use 2GB of Mushkin DDR500 RAM, a...

When you unlock coolbits and then make a change to the clock frequency, there's a message about voiding your warranty. Is there any way for the manufacturer to tell if the clock frequency changed? A friend of mine built a new computer and I suggested that she purchase a 7800GT because she's...

I'm building a PC for a friend of mine and he's going to be using 3D Studio Max along with a bunch of 2D graphics software like Adobe Photoshop. He does this stuff professionally and as a hobby. I'm not sure what video card I should get. I've been looking at video card benchmarks and none of...

I'm looking for the best case for less than $100. No power supply is necessary. I would prefer aluminum construction. Quality design inside and out. No big gaudy plastic peices on the front. Here are the cases I've found so far as examples of what I'm looking for. If you know if something...

Admins, sticky this thread! Took me a few hours, but I finally did it. It was on Nightmare mode too, so that makes the victory extra sweet. :cool:

I was getting repeating sounds and stuttering when playing HL2. I had to play at medium textures instead of high. Upgraded from 512MB to 1G and now the repeating sounds and stuttering is gone. I can now play using high textures without a problem. My specs are P4 2.4, BFG 6800, 845 mobo...

My Lite-On DVD-RW/CD-ROM SOHW-1633S drive worked fine until I installed the latest nForce IDE driver. I am using the unified driver 5.10. Once the driver was installed, performance became extremely bad. It would take a very long time to load any program and it's not possible to...

A friend of mine wants a new graphics card for his PC. He wants to spend very little because he says he's saving for a PCI-E system. I'm thinking that he's probably only going to use his existing PC and graphics card for another year tops. Maybe less. So, at first I was thinking he should...

I installed my new 6800 in my Abit IT7 with intel 845E chipset, Win XP Pro. I looked at the device manager and noticed that it's "location" is PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0. Shouldn't this be AGP? It is also on IRQ 5, which is shared by two USB controllers. I installed the intel chipset...

My current system is an ABit IT7 Max with a Pentium 1.6A @ 2.4Ghz. The chipset is a 845E and I'm using 512MB of Samsung DDR333 @ 300 CAS1. Do you think my system will limit the BFG 6800 too much or is it fine? I'm thinking that I can probably OC my CPU some more to 2.66 and get the memory up...

Back in '98, I built a computer for someone. It had an ASUS P2B-F, Enlight case with 235 Watt PS, CD-ROM, Western Digital 10GB HDD, and some other parts. To this day it's still running strong. Then... He decides that he wants some more storage and throws a new 120GB WD HDD in there. It...

I have heard lots of people asking if the fan on a HSF should suck or blow, but has anyone tried setting up their water pump to suck the water through the system. It would be set up Res -> Radiator -> Waterblock -> water pump -> Res The heat from the water pump would not be sent to the...

Has anyone thought about using an automotive electric waterpump in their PC? The flow rates are insane at 35 gpm, but I was thinking that you could reduce the amps going to the pump and make it flow at a much more reasonable rate. This would in turn reduce the noise and heat generated as well...

Reading the description for the Derale Engine Oil Cooler at Summit racing indicates it uses copper tubing and the material is copper. Nice. Summit part number DER-15502. Link with description: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=DER%2D15502 Now, pull up the part number for...

This $5.99 Thermaltake Ducting Mod lowered by CPU temps by 2 degrees centigrade under both load and idle. My friend installed it on his T-bred and got the same results. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-999-118&catalog=151&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1 I have an...
