Hello, Last time I saw/heared/read John Carmack (the famous programmer of Doom and Quake) talking about nextgen graphics rendering technology he showed a demo of "voxel/volume" based rendering. Such voxel's/volume's based rendering would probably need special hardware to quickly compresses and...

Hi, I got tired of running out of space with multiple programs open so I just ordered aSamsung 225BW 22 inch Widescreen LCD monitor to go with my new eVGA 7950GT video card. I know one thing I can do is to scrap the analog adapter and use the digital input on the graphics card. Are there...

I have a baffling problem with a computer I built about six months ago, based around an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. After a series of problems (see history, below), this computer ran fine for several weeks. Then, a couple of days ago, after several hours of heavy use, when I exited a game,...

Wow, I was playing Battlefield 2 full version, when I suddenly smelled this really bad burn smell. Maybe the smell came from outside... but I decided to check my computer... and too my shock both harddisk fans were stopped ?! ( I left my computer on the whole night to download stuff with...

I made a budget gaming computer -- AMD X2 Athlon 3600+ and 7600GT (both overclocked). I ran Oblivion at playable framerates at almost maximum settings. My colleague says that his new computer with 8800GTS struggles to run Oblivion at maximum settings, and he wonders why I can ran it on my computer....

Just got this card today. BFG 6800U OC, core/mem = 454Mhz/1.14Ghz P4 northwood, 13 multiplier, 3.41 Ghz 1G system RAM So far, very good numbers. 11880 in 3dmark03, and beautiful graphics. Unfortunately, games aren't written in 1920x1200, the native res of my 23" Apple HD monitor, so I can't...

I note the Ati statement about shipping the X800 Pro next week and the X800 XT Platinum by May 21.......... Maybe in Canada... Certainly not in the US. Log on to the Ati website and see if you can order any version of the X800 from the USA list. There are 3 X800 sources listed: Ati, Best Buy,...

What should the AGP bus speed be with a GeForce FX 5700 Ultra. I also have 2800+ and a DFI NF11 Ultra AL mobo it's at 66mhz right now and i dont know if it is supposed to be higher.

hi, I've had this same problem with both Unreal 2003 and the Unreal 2004 demo as well as with Max Payne 2 - simply put the game locks for about a minute about every 4 minutes on low resolution settings and almost constantly at higher settings. I'm running windows XP on an AMD Athlon XP 2700+...

I am choosing between ATI 9600 and GeForce FX 5900 (non-Pro and non-Ultra) My topmost criteria is stability of the drivers, i.e., no lockups, no BSOD's, no interference with other PCI devices like soundcards, glitches in displayed pictures etc. Who has better drivers? ATI or Nvidia? I was...

Ha ha Half2 delayed to sell more hardware..ha ha I knew those f7cks will decieve the public..to sell more ATI hardware. They don't want the public to know thw true FX performance so they delayed it for 3 months so people can buy more ATI hardware.

In realistic terms, for smooth gameplay...what graphics card do i need?

Hello everyone... I keep hearing all the buzz about people actually using FSAA in games. I have a Geforce 3. Back when it first came out I remember enabling it and trying to use the quincunx and 2x option and it always slowed down modern games of the time to a unplayable FPS 20-28. I have a...

Hi gang, I'm new here but not new to hardware. I have a problem that I'm hoping someone here can help me with: My Leadtek A280 LE TDH 'My VIVO' (GeForce 4 ti4200) video card will only give a monochrome picture through the RCA video-in. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it, it's set to...

I have a GF4MX460 sitting ona XP2100+ Works quite nicely too. I have yet to find a game that I can't play at 1024x768 which is my preferred resoultion Above that and I have trouble reading text on my 17' monitor. Despite being constantly told how the MX460 is crap and the Ti4200 rocks I am...
