I've got an ATi TV Wonder Pro (PCI card) and a BFG 6800GT in a Shuttle SN95G5. I'm currently running the 71.89 WHQL ForceWare drivers. Installing the latest official drivers (I think the version before the ones up now) from nVidia broke the functionality of my TV Wonder Pro. When attempting...

6.46 is not a "pretty high" RR, but it shouldn't be bad enough to deter you from buying. Just make sure you call your credit card company at the first sign of trouble so they can't scam you out of your hard-earned money. Obviously, it's just a roll of the dice. Best Buy's rating is now at...

Agreed.

Simple! Athlon 64: 2.4 GHz Pentium 4: 3.4 GHz Case closed!

You're on the right track. The ladies are always hounding after my massive projector.

I'm just saying, the attitude that $20 is "nothing" is a big reason why the economy is in such trouble right now. For the most part, Americans don't save enough. This is especially important for someone in the armed services, who will be tossed away like so much trash by the government should...

When you grow up, and also as the American economy grows worse and worse, you will learn the value of a dollar. Suppose you are 20 years old. $620 invested at 6% interest compounded monthly for 45 years becomes $9163.57 when you retire.

Yeah, I'm sure TheInquirer was at the top of AMD's list of reviewers to send chips to. :rolleyes: I hope for that writer's sake that English was not his first language. But to those getting a 7800 GTX: Enjoy playing 3DMark!

I'd have to assume it's because Apple charges thousands of dollars in overhead on their machines. It's because that shiny white paint is derived from Kryptonite, an extremely rare ore from another solar system.

ZipZoomFly Price: $619 Method: $0 FedEx 2-Day Restrictions: HI & AK $10 extra Status: In Stock NewEgg Price: $624 Method: $5 FedEx "saver" Restrictions: "Not available in HI, AK, and PR" Status: In Stock What amazes me is that while NewEgg must do much more volume than ZZF, they...

My sentiments exactly. I have the old 6800GT with the lights/fans and it's loud and hot a fucking ugly. Whenever I pass the shelf of new ones (reference design) in Best Buy, I think, "Man, how can I break mine so I can get one of those?" ^^^(Won't actually do it.)

Only if Crossfire never becomes available. It's a stupid idea and a monumental waste of development resources, just like SLI. If they really find the need to cater to the crowd with $1200 to spend on video performance, they can just as easily release a $1200 video card. I don't think I'll...

Jealousy. This is America. The OP should not have to bear the jealousy associated with other people buying high-end stuff he can't afford. The correct course of action is to sue nVidia and every retailer carrying nVidia products for damages associated with psychological trauma.

Again, poor people (perhaps should be changed to "not-rich people"). The latest cards can keep new games above 30 fps quite reliably; very reliably if you're not using the highest IQ settings. Personally, I think higher resolutions allow a much better view of your surroundings, heightening...

I believe you. Honestly, I'm just being purposely conciliatory. Both what happened to you and the attitude you got in response suck ass. I hope your situation gets rectified, but given the animosity towards your rant, I'd just let the thread go.

I game at 1280x1024, and aliasing is definitely noticeable when I don't use AA. Is 1600x1200 a big difference? I play UT at 1280x960 windowed, because when I play it fullscreened, if I ever alt-tab back in or quit and re-enter the game, I get a BSOD with "IRQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL". :rolleyes:

Yeah, unless I'm mistaken, it's basically the resolution where 1 pixel = 1 pixel. So theoretically, you could have an LCD that supports a higher resolution than its native resolution (would look shitty). That doesn't really happen, though. Sorry, I forgot "people who think 600 fps in...

To answer the original question: -you -poor people -girls -dogs -people who think 600 fps in Counter-Strike is too low (thanks Skrying)

It's got to be the mascot. Ruby just isn't sexy enough to sell ATi cards. I'm sure the R520 is delayed so marketing can come up with a better mascot for the 18-35 crowd. Maybe something anthropomorphic?

I don't really think Kyle is talking the company line or anything. I didn't mean to actually insinuate that Kyle was attacking the OP solely because of corporate sponsorship; I just didn't understand why he was being so malicious towards the OP. One thing that got to me is Kyle citing his own...

OK, sorry about that, I wasn't here to read the original version of the original post. If he definitely sounded like a dick (remember, you should avoid judging by someone's "tone of voice" on the Internet), that makes the rest of this thread make a LOT more sense. Because quite frankly...

You'd have a lot of free time coming to you; why not make a nice custom case? ;) I don't really like the exterior look of Lian Li's cases anyway. He's right. :(

LOL, "Compel retards to buy a G70" would have made a better thread title. If I had millions of dollars, I would probably buy one right this minute. Would that make me a retard? Sorry you're not rich. Hope you get over it. I don't know what to make of this.

The thing I don't understand is the unrestrained hostility towards this guy. Is asking "Is the card I'm getting 128-bit?" being a dick to the support rep? Is expecting some knowledge on the part of said rep being an asshole? All I see is a guy who was given some bad service venting about it...

Hit 100 WUs, broke into top 1000 (finally >_<), and hitting 20k shortly.

Yeah, several. When they say 2-day shipping, they really mean it. My stuff usually arrives within 3 or 4 business days at the most. Sorry you had a "bad" experience, but at least the shipping was free. :D

In case anyone just crawled out of a cave, you should probably know that when Newegg has a shipping "deal", they also tend to raise their prices by about $5. Happy shopping! ;)

It's the principle of the thing. ;) By the way, do you guys always leave "2x512" out of the subject line to get more clicks or something? I can't think of a non-lame reason to trick people into clicking on your thread... :D

Hey guys, yet another lappy help request. My sister, a recent graduate for interior design, needs a new laptop. Tomorrow, I can either grab her an Athlon 64 3200+ system from Office Depot, or a Pentium M 1.8 GHz Dell 6000, both for the same price with similar specs. What I want to know is...

Wow, good call. Hardware acceleration was disabled in Winamp. I should have tested it on other software to narrow it down to Winamp. *bonks head* Never noticed the "configure" button down there before! Thanks!

I would have posted this on the nVidia forums, but their registration process seems to be broken. Also, I didn't have high hopes of getting an anser over there. I've got a Shuttle SN95G5 (nForce3 Ultra) and Logitech X-530's hooked up to the onboard 5.1 sound jacks. The speakers work fine...

This would be solid logic if it weren't for the fact that the "low-end" AMD processor really contains two high-end AMD cores, and spanks the highest-end (not to mention "midrange") Intel processors in every review I've read today. To reiterate, AMD is not catering to the budget segment yet with...

So you purchase a new part based on which company has the largest market share? I guess that's the way to go if you have stock in Intel, but most enthusiasts at least attempt to make an informed decision when it comes to picking up a new CPU, as evidenced by all the "help" threads on HardForum.

Did it occur to the OP that the cheapest A64 X2 "consistently outperforms" Intel chips that are twice as expensive (from TechReport)? Just like with the switch to 90 nm, AMD is taking small, cautious steps into the realm of dual-core processors. And just like the switch to 90 nm, they seem...

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't see that in the thread title or on the retailer's page. Just giving you a hard time. ;)

Wow, I never heard about that. I always wondered how they could find "ZipZoomFly" to be a better name. EDIT: I knew Google wouldn't be a bitch like that. Don't bash them before doing a little research. Anyway, this is off the topic of HotDeals, so I'll let it rest.

"Industry standard grade - Private Label" Sounds good to me. :rolleyes:

Monster Cable is the biggest piece of shit company ever. Do a little Google search for their legal shenanigans; they easily trump Apple's. Now boycott them immediately.

It's not your fault, but it does get rather tiresome after a while, seeing "1 GB" deals and then finding out they're 2 x 512 MB. Just something for future reference. Not a bad deal though.

Nice, I will finally be able to claim those blowjobs I'm owed. EDIT: I'm kinda confused. They have the link to the place where you fill out your info, but the dropdown list for the type you want does not have the minty one in it...
