Thanks for the response. This series has frustrated me so much since Reunion. There is so much potential there, but it is hampered by terrible performance during any type of large scale combat. I get a few capital ships and a bunch of fighters and then just give up because actually doing...

So what kind of performance are people getting in this? I get a constant 60 fps most of the time, but during battles involving more than just a couple fighters I'm sinking down to 15-20 fps. For reference I have: i7-875k HD 5870 8GB of RAM During this scene I was getting about 20 fps:

As far as I know, I'm talking about the slow display mode switching bug, the last one on your list. Manifests itself everytime I load a 3D application (in full screen mode. works just fine if I start in windowed mode). One screen goes black followed by the second and they sit there black for...

I just want to point out that the front page says switching to drivers earlier than 11.1 resolves the slow mode switching problem. Well, I've switched back to 10.12 to try and get away from it and the problem is still present. A little google searching shows some posts on the amd forums...

Oh, thanks so much for the info Rev. I was not aware that it was a known problem. It's disheartening to see there is no workaround, but at least there is awareness. I hope AMD is aware of it.

So I have a bit of a problem whenever I launch a full screen application and I'm a bit stumped. Problem: Start fullscreen application. Primary monitor goes black, followed by secondary monitor. Both sit there black for up to 30 sec. Both monitors go back to desktop for a few seconds. Then...

I second this one. It is absolutely amazing. Only costs $30. Nice graphics...not Crysis level, but it looks quite pretty. Ship customization-pick parts and arrange/scale them anyway you see fit. Newtonian flight model (can switch to IDS mode that is similar to the flight model used...

I agree with you on this point, I definitely misunderstood your message earlier. I'm very much afraid this will become the standard and if it does I'm jumping ship. I got enough QUALITY games that I won't really be that bummed out about it.

Very first info I heard when they first presented it was that you pay for the subscription AND games. I thought, "well that's lame" and haven't really followed it since. I agree that if you ONLY had to pay the subscription ($20-40/month) it would be financially attractive. I don't think that...

Yeah, seriously man, forget paying hundreds of dollars on a gaming rig. Instead, let's pay Onlive a few hundred dollars in subscription fees over a few years for a subpar experience. Even assuming the subscription fee is very low, like $20/month, that's still $960 after four years. You still...

Your welcome. :cool:

You have to restart steam first, and then it will show up.

Thanks for the reply. And that's a bummer with TF2 since that's my most played game right now.

Okay, I'm wanting to set up a dual monitor configuration, but I had a couple questions I was hoping someone on here could answer. 1) I mainly want two monitors so that I can game on one while watching TV (through a tuner card) or a DVD on the other. Will this work fine if I game in full...

If you enjoy playing a character who utilizes magic, I highly recommend installing Midas Magic and Less Annoying Magic Experience (L.A.M.E.). L.A.M.E. increases the usefullness of spells. Summons and shield spells now last for a minute or more instead of 20 seconds or less and cost the...

I plan to enjoy it for a long time, since from I've seen, I've no plans to ever get SupCom2. I read that they are doing away with the economy, and the fact that it's being codeveloped for the 360 doesn't make me feel better. I mean, the 360 couldn't handle the scale of the orginal SupCom (just...

The latency that you're thinking off would not be any worse compared to a server. The problem most people are referring to is "input lag". Think of it this way, when you play on a server over your computer, whenever you perform an action, you see it happen near instantaneously on your screen...

You do realize that 1ms lag is the time it takes just for their algorithms to encode the video, not the total amount of input lag. Say you live a thousand miles away from the server, just for the signal to travel the distance to and from the server, at the speed of light, takes 10 ms. That...

To those having this problem... I had the problem where I'd get to the blur screen and then CTD. I fixed it by disabling the in game community tab. Once it had successfully launched I was eventually able to reenable it. I'm also running Vista BTW. Hope that helps someone.

So I ran a 1 hour test using OCCT and I encountered a slight issue. The test ran fine and declared my system stable. But afterwards my cpu clock (I'm running an E6750) was down to 2000 Mhz from 2666 MHz (the multiplier decreased from 8x to 6x). During the test my temperature never went above...

Hey, thanks. That's just the kind of thing I'm looking for.

I'm expecting my first build to arrive at my address shortly and I've read a lot about the importance of stress/stability testing a new computer build once it's all put together. Can anyone give me some good advice for stress/stability testing and computer monitoring programs out there?

Cool, thanks for the info. I won't be pulling the gun on my purchases for about two weeks so I'll just hope I get lucky between now and then.

Zenshi: Could you tell me when and where you got that deal on the MSI? Personally, I'm leaning towards the MSI, but I can't find it anywhere for less than $115, so the lower priced offerings from Gigabyte and Abit look more attractive.

Hmm, I'm liking that Abit IP35-E. How is the onboard audio on that board compared GA-P35-DS3L and the MSI PA35 Neo2-FR? I'm going to try and get away without using a sound card.

I'm looking into building my first computer and I need some advice on a motherboard. I was originally looking at the GA-P35-DS3L, because I saw good reviews for it and I heard it was easy to overclock with, all for under $100. I didn't like the fact though, that the North Bridge apparently...

Exactly

I thought about getting something like an E4500, but I didn't want to overclock the processor right out of the box. I know overclocking isn't that big of a deal, I've never actually performed one before so I wanted to a get a CPU that had a decent clock speed to start with. Then after I'd had...

crhscoog: Well, that deal on the power supply will save me some money. As far as the E8400 goes, I never really thought about the fact that it is only $20 more than the E6750, so I should probably get that instead. P£P§!™: I'm still up in the air as far as the motherboard goes. I was...

I'm sure you guys get a lot of these but I figured I'd post up my plans for my first computer build for any opinions. Building it for Gaming, but I'm sure that's obvious. Case: Raidmax Smilodon, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156063 Power Supply: Corsair 550W...
