    Trying to learn the WASD Controls.

    I stick my pinky on control, ring on "a", middle on "w", index on "d", and thumb on spacebar. Just use your regular fingers to reach for the extra keys and it will come to you eventually. WASD takes a while to get used to, but you will love it eventually and probably prefer it over the arrow...

    Prey Demo for X360 is up!!!

    I think Quake IV was made by Raven on both systems and even if id did handle the Xbox 360 version, think about the task of recoding an engine in a small amount of time.

    When will companies realize we like more than 60hz refresh rate for LCDs!

    When can you realize that A.) hardcore gamers make up the minority of the LCD market and B.) with that in mind the market for LCD monitors with high refresh rates isn't as large as you think? EDIT: I also find it ridiculous that you are complaining about not being able to play your games at a...

    Windows XP 64 bit and Realtek onboard audio

    So I am using my Realtek onboard audio with my Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9, but with Windows XP 64 bit the audio won't work. I have tried the drivers on the CD, the drivers from Realtek's website, and the drivers from Gigabyte's website. It just doesn't work. I have checked the connections with my...

    PS3 is $500 and $600 Official

    For those saying that Blu-Ray makes it worth it, what happens if HDDVD becomes the industry standard? That extra $100 is wasted.

    Anyone else think Halo is overhyped?

    No. The Halo 2 story tells a lot more than you think what with the Arbiter missions and whatnot. I wouldn't say it's a good part of the sotry, but every story has that slow part in the middle of it.

    IE7 Beta 2 and Wells Fargo Online

    I don't mean to hijack the thread, but why use the beta version of IE7 when Firefox is out of beta and has everything that IE7 final will have except bugs...and Wells Fargo online most likely works. I just don't understand what's so great about IE.

    Oklahoma trying to block the sale of M rated games

    Then it should include all entertainment media. The video game industry is the most regulated and responsible industry of all the entertainment media and they get most of the blame. Hell, Joe Liberman has praised the ESRB. The MPAA doesn't have the rating on the front cover of a DVD case. The...

    air cooling... whats the quietest

    Not to hijack the thread (I figured since this thread already exists, why not post my question in it too), but what is the best fan/heatsink in terms of quietness for a socket 939 CPU in a micro atx case? I currently just have the default fan/heatsink wihich is pretty loud. It has 2-3 cm...

    Should I try and fix this?

    Well it works without the capacitor, but I am going to go ahead and get a new video card since this one could crap out at any minute (and then again it might not, who knows?). Oblivion ran without a hitch and there is no artifacting when running applications on the desktop. My new question is...

    Should I try and fix this?

    I don't want to try. Will it possibly damage the card?

    Should I try and fix this?

    I'm thinking about going to a computer shop and seeing if they can do anything. I am pretty sure I can solder it, but my solder is thick, so it would be hard to do.

    Should I try and fix this?

    The manufacturer won't accept it because they only allow RMA for factory defects. I haven't checked Newegg's policy though.

    Should I try and fix this?

    Ok, so I ripped one of those cylindrical things off of my video card. It looks like it can be soldered, but I haven't soldered many things before. Since the metal things that connect it to the board are stuck on the board with some metal covering it, I am thinking that the excess metal that is...

    Mythic Dawn

    Or whatever. Anyways whenever I rest, wait, or serve a prison sentence there is always a Mythic Dawn guy standing in front of me with his back to me whenever I wake up/get out of the prison/stop waiting. His AI is turned off until I attack him or move. Is there any reason why this is?

    How do these perform so much better than CPUs?

    We know that these will perform much better than CPUs in terms of graphics processing, but how will they? I mean what will the clock speeds be? What kind of pipelines will these things have? I really wish they would release more about the meat and bones of these.

    Oblivion: Direct2Drive versus Store-bought

    I can't spek from experience, but since you dowloaded a large file from the internet, there could have been some packet loss that's causing these problems for you. I would send Gamespy a support ticket to see if anyone else has had this problem. Also are you able to redownload it? If so I would...

    Quiet, yet effective VGA cooler

    Ok so the Zalman it is. Now I have one last question. What temperatures can I expect if I OC the card from 450 to ~600 core and from 1350 to ~1500 memory. I want to get to near 7900GTX speeds (if not that then at the 7900GTX speeds). When I do the recommended OC thing with Coolbits, it peeks at...

    Quiet, yet effective VGA cooler

    Can anyone point out a quiet, yet effective, VGA cooler? The stock fan for my graphics card is incredibly loud (I can hear it downstairs and it overpowers my music). Actually it may cause some hearing damage since I am exposed to it long term. Anyways since I am unable to hear fans and am a bit...

    Oblivion PC performance

    Yes, it is running much better now. I had coolbits set to downclock it at 130C, so I would imagine that was what was causing the slowdown. I have the current release drivers installed, but I am going to install the beta release drivers later. Like you said, they will probably make the difference...

    Leadtek 7900GT memory clocked at 660MHz?

    I Just got my 7900GT today. Let me say that this card owns. Having said that I have a big question. Why does coolbits say that my card's memory clock is 660MHz? Is it or is this just a glitch with coolbits?

    Oblivion PC performance

    So I just installed my Leadtek 7900GT and I am getting crap framerates at medium settings. It's kinda weird. I have tried installing the latest release drivers, I tried installing the beta drivers, and I tried even installing the drivers taht came with the CD. I cannot get this game to run at...

    a big ... to Blizzard

    Guys, let's think that we know all of the complications that can arise when the patch is working. Seriously, can we get a server administrator in here to explain to everyone what goes into doing something like this? To about 100+ servers? EDIT: At once.

    Situation with my video card...

    If I were you, I would call them up and see if you could get a new card since this is a threat to your hearing. I would imagine that any company with any type of decency would gladly exchange it for a different card or, at least, a fan.

    The $3 one didn't work for me for some reason. Oh well paying $16 to get a 7900GT for like 265 is worth it.
