Can't believe it hasn't been posted yet, this mod was ranked #1 in the Mod DB database for the last few days. Mod alters difficulty, audio, graphics (featuring a new version of Atmosfear and the most dramatic visual overhaul to date), companion options, dialogue, arsenal, AI, music and a host...

Considering buying a 120hz monitor, thought it would interesting to hear a gamer's perspective before I take the plunge. Post your insights, amusements and grievances. Worth it?

I looking for something 27" - 32" with a $500 budget, mostly for playing games and surfing. My question is as follows, is there any really difference between using a HDTV over a PC monitor? The TV's I'm looking at having 5ms response times, 60Hz refresh and support 1080p, and have PC...

Behold console gamers! And....WEEP!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcNylGYq-v4&feature=player_embedded

Have to decide what's more important between these two cards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125362 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814261099 I game at 1920 x 1080 and 4XAA if possible. I know Crysis and STALKER + Mods can eat through 1GB...

I was overseas working when this one was released and it slipped under my radar. I sort of wrote this one off but it's actually pretty amazing thus far, feels a little like Fallout 3. I've started off as a Siren (Lilith) and wondering how I should build. I found the system to be a little...

Finally got bored enough to reinstall this game, haven't tried it since it's release on a 8800GT. I've migrated over to an i7-860, 8GB DDR3 and an OC'd 5770. Using two mods: Sykes No pop in performance mod (bottom of the first post, there are two versions on the authors first post)...

This sucks. I have zero interest in Fallout New Vegas or Gothic 4, which are presumably the reasons for the delay. Looks like Europe is still on for a 2010 launch, expect rampant North American piracy, what a ridiculous move...

http://www.atomicgamer.com/files/88122/arcania-gothic-4-demo# Couple other sites have it up as well. It was originally supposed to come out tomorrow in the United States, I believe. As I'm still in the process of downloading, I haven't verified the contents from the site listed above but as...

Trying to decide between these two units but I'm not a savy PSU guy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256021 I'm running a single 5770 and won't be moving to a dual card setup. The Silverstone is...

At the conclusion of another year, I realized there were several games that never made the transition from console to PC that I would have loved to see. I was miffed at the absence of the first three, but not so much the last one. 1) Star Wars: Force Unleashed 2) Condemned 2 3) Gears...

Is this entirely necessary in order to utilize 4GB (3.2-3.5) of sys RAM? I came across some info for the Witcher that suggested I do this to maximize use of all available RAM, and here I thought this was something my system was doing automatically. I have SP3 installed and I've heard that a...

So I'm basically getting a monitor for free with a Dell computer ($200 coupon) and I need help deciding which monitor is best for me. I do a lot of surfing and gaming but nothing else worth mentioning, I've done my research but I need a little advice, these are the 3: E207WFP -...

Rig came with 2gb 5300 and my brother offered 2gb 6400 at no cost to me. Question is, can I make the swap without any adjustments...or moreover, if I find that my mobo supports it will it automatically recognize and utilize the newer RAM? --New to this

Guy wants to purchase my old P4 Prescott (775) and the accompanying Dell i925x mobo, I was thinking of asking $50 for both but that's pretty much a crappy guess. Don't want to rip him off but I'd also like to get something reasonable for it, any advice?

http://www.gigabyte-usa.com/Products/Motherboard/Products_ComparisonSheet.aspx?ProductID=2583,2627 These are the two I'm looking at in a side by side comparison, the S3G is cheaper, offers only 5.1 (all I need) vs. 7.1, different cooling solution and more PCI-slot but less PCIx1 slots. S3G...

Posted this @ Futuremark while the forums here were down, so sorry if you are reading this twice, desperately need some advice. So I know squat about mobo's and I need some advice, found a few that I believe are compatible but I know nothing about Northbridge/Southbridge. I am looking at a...

I remember firing up Far Cry on a 9800pro/ 512mb Sys RAM/ P4 and running at high settings, at the time it was the best looking game out there and I was getting great frame rates. Just tried Crysis on a 8800GT/ 2GB PC 5300/ P4HT @ 3.6 on medium settings (some low), going through tweak guides...

Two complete rigs, won't be physically removing hard drives, each will stay in its respective tower. Never done this before, but I'm thinking a USB cable, however I would have to buy one and I don't want to spend the money if they are expensive. I also have a network in my apartment with 3...

My brother's rig died on him and he's getting rid of his P4 3.4Ghz, socket LGA 775 on a i965 (I believe) He was going to give it to me as a minor upgrade from my P4 3.0Ghz but I'm on a socket 478 on a i865....is there any way in hell these are compatible? Or am I completely screwed on a cpu...

Selling for $400, Graduating and therefore... Upgrading!! Pentium 4HT @ 3Ghz w/ 800mhz fsb -2GB RAM (1GB x 2) OCZ PC3200 (400mhz) w/ Heat spreaders -80GB ATA Hard drive @ 7200rpm -Video Card: ATI H-I-S X1950pro w/ 512mb V-ram featuring factory overclocking, massive heatsinks and Arctic...

As the title suggests, I've been running XP for about 3 1/2 years on my computer now and I have a re-installation disc handy. The machine came with XP pre-installed and I'm hoping I might gain a performance boost through a clean install. I have no spyware, viruses or bloated files that would...

I know XP and Vista 32bit can only address 3GB or RAM (or a little over) (-) once you subtract your video RAM, so going to 4GB would seem kind of pointless. My question is, would it be okay to have 2x 1GB + 2x 512mb or alternatively 1x 2GB + 1x 1GB? I'm thinking this way I will get the...

Need Advice Fast. Wondering because I'm getting a really good deal, the P4 isn't the LGA 775 variety either, it's the 478 variety and it's choking my X1950pro which will become either a 2900pro or 8800gts (640mb), this is an entirely new system I'm putting together. Deal if for the E6600...

If I'm running Vista and a Dx10 card, can I run games that support DX10 in DX9 mode? Rather, how do accomplish this...Bioshock had a "force Dx10" option IIRC, but will all software offer this option in the menu's assuming it is a DX10 capable game? Asking because I'm on a budget for a card...

New to motherboards and I have a couple of builds going on a couple different websites. My question is the following: I will be loading an 8800gts (640mb) onto either board with 2GB 6400, the builds look like this: 1) 2.33 w/ 1333fbs on i965 express -OR-...

At face value which one of these is the better choice (excluding any kind of overclocking), building a new rig and need some advice. The 6600 runs @ 2.4 w/ 1066fsb The 6550 runs @ 2.33 w/ 1333fsb My RAM will be coming in at 800mhz and I won't be overclocking and assuming all things...

My brother is ordering some RAM and I advised him to send it back because he ordered a single 1GB stick @667 and he has 2x512@533 and from my experience you have to have matching RAM capacity. My question is this: Without messing with the FSB if he were to order 2x512 @667 and pair it with...

Wondering what the general consensus was on this since some sites claim insane bandwidth, better copyright compliance and blah blah blah. Make any sense to do this, and if so, any recommendations?

Was wondering if any of these programs that claim to enhance performance of applications such as Azureus or Bittorrent do what they actually claim. I've exhausted all other options (port forwarding, TCP limitations in XP) with decent results so I can't complain, but more is more. Any thoughts?

System has a P4HT @3ghz and a x1950pro 512mb (OC'd) as well as 2GB OCZ and I was wondering what I could do with in game settings to relieve some of the bottleneck (which is extremely minimal at this point) off the CPU. It is my understanding that things like AA, AF, HDR are taxed on the vid...

Upgrading from 1 to 2GB RAM and was wondering how important this is in a gaming scenario. --Also, noticed different voltage specs for PC3200 on the mobo, is this important, and how the hell do I determine the voltage of RAM slots???

So I just hooked up the AGP version of my x1950pro 512mb which boasted 620/1480 speeds but when I checked in CCC and ATI tool it read 587/ 770 with no headroom on the coreclock. wtf is up with that? I've heard of people reporting slightly different clock speeds but this is under 30 on the core...

THis booster uses a double headed adatper to plug into my motherboard and then into the main PSU with 24 pins on each side. Unfortunately I have a 20 pin PSU....can I just go ahead and plug that into the 24 pin (it fits) or do I need a 20 to 24 pin adapter? Stupid question probably, but...

Currently running a P4@3ghz HT and have an otherwise good system w/ 1GB RAM PC3200 (upgrading to 2 soon) and a HIS x1950pro AGP 512mb. I realize it has extremely limited potential CPU wise, but I have some $ to spend and was wondering if the P4EE was still available or affordable, or worth...

Looking for 8ms or better, high contrast ratio, at least 160 degree viewing angle. Looking to spend no more than $350, less would be better. Beating my brains out trying to find a good one...don't know if the whole 16.2 vs. 16.7 color thing matters either. LG and Samsung look good but this...
