    How many years before real time rendering of cinema quality special effects?

    I think something else has to be taken into account, the sheer amount of work needed to input all the relevant data for any given scene. The world is incredibly complex, and the time it would take to model this versus having to get a product out to the public seems insurmountable to me.

    If you can wait a few days for the stock to come in ebuyer.com are doing them for £179.00 delivered. Overclockers.com have them now but you will pay a premium to have one straight away. Im going to wait for the 1gig version first to see its price and if it performs any better, or maybe even...

    Doh! Needing 40 amps minimum on the 12v rails for a gtx280,(my enermax can only muster 36 amps, well it say 22 amps on each rail but 36 over all) so i guess that puts me out of the picture, id have trouble buying the card and a new psu just to power it. Well thats blown it for me, i will have to...

    The "Official" 8400 OC thread

    If you are asking me, then no i didn't the ram is pc8500 and if running at full speed 1066 mhz then it needs 2.1 volts but as it is running at 846 mhz i found i could drop the volts to 1.8 and still have a stable system, which helps keep the heat down.

    How many people are planning on upgrading (to R700 or G200)?

    I think the the cost of the Nvidia cards may prove a little off putting, given in the UK they will cost a shit load of cash, but if they outperform the ATI offerings by a good margin, and the ATI cards dont have much of a leap over current Nvidia cards then i may have to treat myself and blow a...

    Why dont people use vsync?

    I use it all th time, you just cant beat the smooth rock steady image you get with it, makes things look so much more solid, i really cannt stand the horrible rippling/tearing and general roughness of the screen without it.

    After reading through this thread and reading lots of reviews i decieded to get one of these as my artic freezer 7 pro could let things get a bit warm for my liking.

    e8400 3.8ghz or 4.0ghz?

    Hi, my experience is that the jump from 3.6 to 3.8 made a difference for me in TF2. At 3.6 Ghz i would get the frame rate drop below the magic 60 fps on 24 player servers (drops to hgih 40's low 50's kind of thing)when the real intense action happened (i have an 8800 gts 512, and running 2xMSAA...

    A Freind of mine was running a pair of 7900 gtx's in his old system and then bought an 8800 gt, it did the same thing, would not boot up at all, so he swapped it for an 8800 GTS 512 and still got the same thing. Turned out it was his version of the PCI express slot, his was revision 1.0 and the...

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    Hi all, I've just got myself a hpw2207h and I am pleased with the monitor. Im using it with a DVI to HDMI lead linked to my 8800 gts 512. Something I noticed straight away was that i have the option for 1920x1080, which is rather puzzling as it states that the max res is 1680x1050. I have...
