In all fairness if you're going to want to get anything right it's suicide... People have shot themselves in the head before and lived, but were missing half a head, and other various nasties. I say we don't judge people who want to end it all, and provide them with the best possible...

What like the terribly low FOV, the screwy widescreen/aspect ratio, the god awful mouse acceleration, all problems present with the game from start to finish, made it a real PITA to play for me :(

Using the stock speeds, the GPU overclock on the XFX is likely to bring you more performance, 60mhz on the memory isn't really that much. If you don't intend to overclock the cards further than their preset overclock, then I'd go with XFX

The way I see it, AMD are losing on the CPU front to Intel and on the GPU front to Nvidia. I don't understand the benefits that naturally arise from having the 2 seperate products coming together, we're always going to want discreet GPU's and CPU's and as long as this is the case there is a...

Never heard of the issue with these specifica cards myself but I've not really looked into buying them, so thats no surprise. If "MANY MANY other people" are getting these issues it's likely a deisgn or manufacturing flaw in which case you need to get a refund and buy a card thats not shit.

5 dead cards in a row means you're either breaking them when you install them, touching sensitive areas of the card and zapping important IC's with static electrisity, or a component inside your PC is frying the video card, possibly a defective motherboard or PSU. Best test would be to find a...

Nvidia have official releases less often, but they frequently allow access to beta drivers which are often just as good, they can be found under Nvidias beta section, you can also pick up unofficial betas from places like www.guru3d.com If you want more info guru3d forums have an nvidia driver...

lol 22,000 on my first try, could have gone on for ages but just gave up... how are you all getting only 1-2k?

Time for some FO1+2 remanising... Who remembers the gambling bum in one of the early villages in fallout2, he had a "system" and lost all his money, you do a job for a barmaid to go and collect from him, and you can either kill the guy or a few other things, or you can actually pay his tab off...

I'm starting a cupcake up front policy to avoid this...

Well the history of the GTA games show pretty acceptable ports, they get resolution, aspect ratio right, they get the controls right, they remove the typical console rubbish like auto aim, they're not what i'd call perfect but as far as ports go they're more or less godlike since no one else...

Heres a good example, I played Rainbow 6 Vegas: 2 last night on the normal difficulty and was doing great and having a lot of fun (after my brain adjusted to the seeminly 50 degrees FOV) but they had to throw in a sort of "boss" area in the first map where you just get torn to pieces again and...

Dell 3007 WFP-HC, the 3008 has massive input lag and since you don't need this as a TV the lack of inputs for the 3007 shouldn't be a problem. Its just an all round better panel and cheap as well, might be hard to find though.

Trying to ban violent video games is just completely stupid. People play these things for the shock value of seeing the violence, much like why people rent horror flicks - specifically to be scared! So banning something for being too shocking is essentially saying to people that this...

Those options to span are still in windows display properties providing your video card has dual outputs, it's best to set your options there, there should be no need to do anything in the drivers, it's handled by the OS for the most part. You may want to update the video card drives if it's...

I prefer a more cinematic, story centric singleplayer experience, kind of like CoD4 provided, and part of the experience that anoys me is dying all the time, I'm a fairly well skilled FPS gamer and sort of expect to play an average FPS game through and never die. Having parts where you die and...

With the release of this monitor it's basically killed the 3007 which sounds like a far superiour panel, no input lag, better panel quality, less backlight bleed etc, the only real downside of the 3007 was the inputs a problem you can resolve if you pipe inputs through your PC's video card...

I sit the same distance away from my 30" as I did my old 22", it doesn't give me a headache but you do find yourself having to move your head slightly to see things in the corners clearly. Moving away from your monitor should be easy, just slide the stand further back towards the back of the...

Benefits of the Icemat (glass mousemat) is that you can practically steam clean the thing, i run it under extremely hot water to wash it, and the heat of the water alone drys it in a few seconds, leaving behind no streaks or anything from drying it. Mouse glides over it so smooth afterwards :)

I find it completely hilarious that legitimate users (people who spent their hard earned cash) for games like Bioshock are having problems installing the game and playing it, and it turns out that the simplest way to solve all of these issues is to download the crack for the game which of couse...

Agreed with above poster, you don't need ultra fast ram with great timings it's more expensive, drop that back a bit and spend the saved cash on getting 4Gb instead of 2Gb, make sure you get a 64bit OS as well so you can use it all. Also drop the IDE drives, go for SATA, should be roughly equal...

AA does become a bit of a pinch at them resolutions, 2560x1600 luckily doesn't require so much AA and some other lower resolutions which is good because even 2xAA can kill the frame rate. Seems like a bit of a daft limitation though, has anyone had any luck setting the Nvidia control panel to...

EU release is pushed back to later than the US release, sick of this bullshit, not going to put up with it anymore. I'm not going to sit here and twiddle my thumbs while the US players get to play something that I've already got on my machine, but just can't be unlocked because of some...

Heh, well if experience is anything to go by, the PC version will be superiour. I remember playing GTA3, Vice City on my 19" 2048x1536 LCD and just loving how much better it looked than on the consoles at the time, and still with a good frame rate. Now I have my 2560x1600 screen, I'm itching...

Looking good, it's going to be hard to make Fallout3 without causing a stir of emotions on the old gamers amongst us, simply because of how good fallout1 and fallout2 were. If they manage to keep the humour, the freedom and the adult theme, I think that's a good step forward, by the sounds of...

If you don't get the reference to games here, stop whatever you're doing and play Portal.

Not really surprising to be perfectly blunt. Most people who know anything about Crysis know that most of the benefits from the DX10 path is to enable the very high settings in the menu, since you did not compare the very high settings to anything below that there can be no real genuine...

Back to the OP, keeping the argument generic is hard, because production values of the panel can greatly effect the final result. You can talk about averages without being brand or model specific but certainly not extremes, I'd say it's certainly possible that some models built with S-IPS...

Not if you don't know the scaling of CPU's well enough to decide whether your CPU is "higher", that's assuming you even know what CPU you have, many people simply do not.

Go into the steam install dir and then open up the steamapps folder, make a copy of all the .gcf files in there (these are the packages that steam games are installed and run from - essentially what is downloaded when you buy/activate the game) Make a safe backup of these files somewhere...

I'd love to play a predator mod based in THICK jungle areas, with network physics on the trees and other objects, 20 marines all patroling about and 1 predator. That would be awesome *edit* Oh snap - http://predatormod.co.uk/

Yes, not havint clearly defined system requirements is a fairly big problem. The only way I can think of doing this well, but keeping it simple for people is actually Microsofts current implimentation, which is to benchmark the hardware after windows is installed, and give you a score. This...

The game is like a giant sandbox, it gives you plenty of tools, gear and abilities to play with and kind of dumps you right in to it. The game can be completed by run and gun everything and you won't run into too much trouble like this, but it will be rather boring. The game is what you make...

Colonization is totally where it's at, most of these old school games should run under emulators such as Dosbox and the VMscum engine for old lucasarts puzzle adventure games.

Technology is vastly more complex now, the complexity of games and the hardware running them is much larger than back in the Doom days, there is probably more power and technology crammed into most PDA/XDA systems now a days than we had back playing Doom. Of course the system requirements are...

All good things come to those who wait, I'll pick it up on the PC once all the console users have play tested the buggy, low frame rate version ;) Sorry, couldn't resist.

Speak for yourself, I'm happy with the rate at which technology increases, a decent upgrade path for a PC will last for approx 18 months and keep you more or less on the forefront of technology. For those who want to spend less an average build will last 3 years and provide a gaming experience...

EA make a game that correctly supports widescreen? HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAAHAHHHAAHAHAHAAAAAAaaaaa!!!111oneoneeleven

Purely from what I hear of course, it's buggy and repetative and they've had major issues with billing and other things, I've stayed well clear of this, and I'm desperately seeking MMO's to play at the moment.
