Sorry about that. I am not sure why I didn't say what headphones I was using. Headphone wise, at the time I had the Alessandro MS2i. Speaker wise I was using Onix Reference I mkII and a UFW-10 subwoofer.
The Alessandro's are very easy to drive from what I understand, so that could be why I...
Right now I have a X-Fi Elite Pro. I bought a Benchmark DAC1 USB last year to try out and I have to say, I did not hear much of any difference at all when compared to my setup now. In this case I was using X-Fi Elite Pro -> Panasonic XR-50 -> Headphones
I ended up returning the DAC1 because I...
So then hooking them up to a receiver is a bad idea for sound quality, or it just doesn't work?
If I remember right, theres only a few highly regarded manufacturers, and I dont recall Alesis being one of them. It seems most everyone agrees Genelec is one of the best, so I would like to stick...
Yeah I know... so that means I would hook them up directly to the soundcard? How would I control volume? I sure don't trust the software volume control that comes with my soundcard software, and having to adjust each speaker manually wont be too cool either...
And what if I want to play xbox...
Well right now I have a pretty nice sound system.
Panasonic XR50 receiver, and Onix Ref 1s with UFW-10 sub. Emu 1212m soundcard.
However, I was thinking about switching it up with some studio monitors. My room is small 11x10 or so I believe.. and my Ref1s are just sitting on my computer...
I have a 6800GT and I play WoW at 1920x1200 with everything turned up. It is mostly fast enough, but a few spots in cities and such will slow it down to 17-20fps.
I am looking at replacing it with a X800XTPE or X850XTPE... or just wait it out for the new cards. Have not decided quite yet.
I'm curious about this too. Although I have a HP 2335 (23" 1920x1200) monitor.
Right now I have a 6800GT, but just today the DVI connector seemed to have went bad. I am thinking about moving it to one of my other computers and just use it analog and buy something new.
I play a lot of...
Haha, I just got it and it doesn't support widescreen. Redicilous. Hell, even WoW supports 1920x1200, why can't this game? :mad:
I guess that was a waste of 50 bucks. Pfft.
Maybe that's my problem, I burned myself out on it for a bit. I started in the stress test (PVP server)..and got 1st horde rogue on my server competition to get into closed beta. After that constant leveling.. ugh. I began to hate the "bring me 30 feathers" .. quests... and then you gotta kill...
I'm in the beta, and honestly, I would say if you didn't like MMORPGS before, this one won't change your opinion much. It starts getting really repetitive with the exact same type of quests from level 1 all the way to 50+
I had a blast, until around level 40. Now that I'm 45 I have no...
Interesting! Good luck on your replacement monitor... I still have not sent mine in, even though I probably should. I love the monitor though, I can't imagine having to go back to a 17" CRT, even if it is just for a couple of days. My monitor has no dead pixels either. :(
Thanks for the responses guys, I feel a lot better now. MetsFan, that is a good question! :D
To be honest, this is my first system that I really have a good possibility to overclock, and I am pretty overwhelmed with all the options. The part I am confused on right now is what the voltages...
OPTERON, that is very interesting. My component ports are doing the same exact thing now, but mine failed within a few weeks. Trying to play xbox on it will only show a distorted green picture. Very interesting.
Hey guys, I have been looking for benchmarks that have around the same stuff I do, but I can't really seem to find many benchmarks for people that have not overclocked yet so it's kinda hard to compare speeds. I think my computer is running slower than it should.
I just bought a 3400+...
Hey there, I just bought a AMD 3400+ CH with a DFI UT NF3 motherboard. I am having a hard time figuring out the memory situation though. I have been reading posts and such, but I can't seem to find a clear answer on which is the better route to go. It seems most memory only goes up to 512 megs...
I will have pictures of my monitor soon :) I also seem to have the slight backlight issue where in top right of the screen its a little bright than the rest of the screen, but for me it's not bothersome. Unless you are really looking for it, I don't really notice it so it's no big deal.
But...
No widescreen support? :( The highest resolution I see is 1600x1200... my LCD is 1920x1200..I wonder if its possible to mod the config file like some games?
I read a review that said the spot for the powersupply was small in this case and if you had a big powersupply it wouldn't fit. I am not sure how big the OCZ is, so does anyone know if I can fit the OCZ Powerstream 520W in the Tsunami?
Thanks in advance! :)
My PNY is running pretty damn hot. I think I need a new case, my whole cooling situation sucks. But at the moment I have the side of the case off and my GT is at 60-61c Idle. When the case was closed it was idling 65-66c. This is at stock speeds. How hot can you take these things without...
Just got mine from PCConnection today!! :D
I just pushed down on the back -- .. the "bezel" I guess is what you call it.. and the screen went down. So I guess that's all you have to do. I wish there was like a manual showing me how to move this thing, I am kinda afraid to touch it :o
That's what I thought. People who don't care about D3's performance are going to be singing a different tune when their ATI runs slower than the Nvidia on all the different games that use the Doom engine. :eek:
Hey guys, I have a question... right now I have a EMU 1212m soundcard, some bookshelf speakers, a sub, and two receivers. I have a Panasonic XR-50 and an really old (like 15 yrs) Pioneer Vsx-5900s....
Right now I have the Pioneer hooked up to the EMU from the analog outputs on the soundcard...
I am getting a 2.1 stereo setup and I want to run it through my computer using digital. I am getting the Panasonic XR-50 and it's going to power my bookshelf speakers and a sub. This is going to be for music and games, I am not a huge movie person. What I want to know is how do I go about...
