probably just going to echo a lot of what has already been said, but here is a few of the best games i've played recently: -orange box (no brainer ;) ) -Call of duty 4 -Bioshock those and I'm also eagerly anticipating the launch of WAR and many other great games coming out this fall (for...

If you go the nvidia control panel and click flat panel scaling, choosing the "do not scale" option would give you 1;1 scaling wouldn't it? Atleast I think that is what you're after.

I've preordered the collectors edition and recently got into the closed beta. Can't say a whole lot but going by the released screenshots (don't want to lose my account for breaking NDA :P) the graphics are definately coming along (especially the lighting recently). Just have to keep in mind...

:)

day 1, PC games tend to go for $99 AUD (~$95 US) in Australia, with console games around $110-120 (~$105-$115 US). Makes buying many games pretty prohibitive. I'll usually only buy the very best games when they're at full price (while looking for discounts if possible) then wait for the price to...

wow, nice lcd's ;) cool idea with the one suspended over your bed, is it annoying trying to type/use a mouse on it thought?

I found it pretty fun, was disappointed to hear it was canceled. On the Deathmatch topic, if I remember correctly, I think there was a patch or an update that added it seeing as fpsbanana.com has multiplayer map downloads..

that's pretty cool, thanks for sharing n3g471v3 d3c1b3l. damn your name is hard to spell :p

agreed, go into account settings and turn off User Account Control. Also, I often get this error message after closing source engine games. I don't care too much though, as I can still play fine.

Wasn't like that, bit more complicated. The gist of it was that this guy who I knew online that gave me the account decided to recover it, after he found out I had a 70 :mad:(my own fault i guess, should have just bought another account).

I started again after playing mid 2006, in december of 2007 until late january 2008 with some friends. Hit 70 in a month and a bit (patch 2.3 made leveling pretty nice) then got pretty disappointed, I quit soon after (mainly due to my account being hacked :() I was kinda hoping I would be...

ooh sounds nice

GFW radio (97.5 the brodeo :P), egm live, 1up yours, pcgamer podcast, joystiq podcast are all great

favorite game (probs): halo 1 (at the time) runners up: half life 2 fable WoW (except level 70) portal CS:S TF2

replaying this at the moment, definitely agree. <3 fable :)

game runs fine on vista with 8800gt, make sure you have patched up to 1.15.1;) I still get some weird colour issues after alt-tabbing sometime though (colours invert).:confused:

It seems kinda strange your framerate isn't that great at 1920x1080. I have a C2D e6850 (3GHz) and an 8800GT, which I play at 1680x1050. I have all the settings at max (except I think I turned the AA down to 8x rather than 16x, just because I couldn't notice a difference and I didn't want to...

I really like the podcasts from 1up, though as you say, some of the guys on 1up yours *cough* Shane *cough* seem kinda down on the state of PC gaming. They point out this misconception on the GFW radio podcasts so it's not like that is the overall opinion of 1up. Now that Shawn Elliott is on 1up...

wow, nice work on the cleaned up wiring, so neat :D

Nice Arcy, looking good so far ;) I don't have any creative ideas for your modding sadly, just thought i might show some support. I'll be checking back for updates :D

Nice work on the article, I was pretty surprised to see the difference in frame rate between benchmark demos and the same run using FRAPS. Will definately keep this in mind for the future. :)

Great test, I have been recently thinking about this exact issue, I'm really glad you put the effort into putting it all together. :) My only thought would be, while I noticed you mentioned the vista 'apples to oranges' graphics comparison complaints, I have to say I kind of prefer when the...

cheers, bought the whole thing the other day, but i guess this is an LCD thread ;)

My Christmas present to myself ;)

agreed, I read the article to see how it compared to the 8800GTX :(... I guess we'll have to wait until more people get their hands on the card.

will i notice a performance increase going from 2Gb->4GB RAM? And with a 32bit OS i can't utilize all 4Gb so wouldn't 3Gb be better? (i hear 32bit can use something like 3.2Gb), though RAM is cheap so maybe going 4Gb is just as easy. I only went 8800Gtx>8800GT as, while their performance is...

I've been holding off buying my new PC (due to no new graphics cards coming out that dethrone the GTX/Ultra), but i now think I'm just going to go ahead and buy. Here is my planned gaming setup (budget of around $2700AUD): Mobo___Gigabyte ga-p35-ds3r CPU____Intel Core2Duo e6850 (picked...

I certainly understand the dissapointment. I've been waiting till the christmas holidays to buy my first high end computer. Now i'm stuck with the decision of buying year old technology (8800GTX) and hope that nothing more graphic intensive than Crysis/WiC comes out or delay my purchase even...

I'm ready and waiting :D please hurry up nvidia/ati....

ooh i somehow missed the nuke tank, i'll have to go try that out

hahah :p

As seen here: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/?p=522 you'll need to replace the island map in the game files (more detailed instructions via the link above) with this modified version (demo funmap #5). This gives you access to a heap of new weapons (my favourite would have to be the nuke...

I've been holding off buying a new computer for a new top-end card. I really do hope they come out with something, it'd be great to buy a card that was a little more future-proofed than a GTX/Ultra (being able to play some crysis maxxed out at 1680x1050 would be awesome).:D

nice to see it is running fairly well on an 'older' rig. That face detail is very impressive
