Possible new idea for a weapon in (first person) shooters: "The melt gun" It would fire electron particles at targets which would nullify atomic attraction force which would cause object to fall apart and seem to "melt". This should be able to be achieved with vertex/geometry shaders to make it...

Hello, I suspect OpenGL works very slow without graphics drivers on operating systems and also works very slow in virtual machines like VMWare. I am not sure what the cause of the slowdown is... it could be "opengl array" related issues, like glDrawArrays it could also be glClear it could also...

I have been following the OpenGL discussion. If you can run a graphics program (say GoogleEarth) in either OpenGL or DirectX which one is better to use? -- Bill Brought to you from Anchorage, Alaska.

(Not my subject description) Status of my benchmarking of cuda, more will follow soon: Well, time for some numbers... Exact measurements must still be done, but so far I am counting the seconds myself for a somewhat estimation of what's going on. Settings tested:

In short: "Give players additional points for protecting "low fps" players" In long (and later short again): YEAH BOYS AND GIRLS... IF YOU DO EVER SEE ME ON THE BATTLEFLIED 3 play grounds anywhere in 2011 or 2012 REMEMBER ONE THING/THIS: "It's Skybuck playing on 5 fps or 1 fps or 15 fps ! ;) =D"

Hello! I noticed most of the times my old NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card's fan is quiet in KDE v3.5.10 with Compiz. When I exit out of X (used startx to start X.org) to text mode console, my fan will spin up louder and according to my old APC UPS, more power is used: Before "startx"...

Here is an idea for company's like Relic who are into strategy games. I think a situation/scenerio like Terminator 2 would be right up their ally... A terminator 2 strategy game would have "pre-destructed" environments just like a company of heroes game after the battle ;) Ofcourse there could...

Hello, I just read a somewhat older posting that OpenCL/nvidia drivers would come standard with Windows 7, is this indeed true ? Further question: Does windows 7 come with cuda drivers ? If not will windows 8 come with cuda drivers ?

Hello, Will Battlefield 3 have a map with an under water section ? Call of Duty 7 will have at least one single player map with an under water section ?! So Battlefield 3 should at least have one too ! ;) =D So if you know of any good under water graphics algorithms post them here !

Hello, Can an nvidia GT 520 gpu play quake 3 at 1920x1200 at 60 fps ?!? How about 30 fps ? How much fps can it do ?!? Bye, Skybuck.

Hello, Some maps in Company of Heroes Tales of Valor seem to blink. Like a little bit of black fade. Could be a driver issue for gt 520. Or perhaps it's tunggle messing things up.

Hello, I was watching ASRock's OC tuner tool and also ASRock's Intelligent Energy Saver tool which I think uses AMD's Cool & Quiet CPU technology and I noticed the following odd behaviour: 1.

Hello, I suspect my presence near the Personal Computer is probably causing a lot of dust to be sucked into the PC over time. So in a way the PC also acts as a Personal Dust Sucker. Except I don't want it to suck in dust. So here is my idea for a solution: a Personal Dust Sucker. I would buy...
