I gave a friend the 7800GT to try before he pays me $50 for it. He says his ATI 1300Pro ran his games better. That can't be right, can it?

Hello, Here a little update on my DreamPC of 2006. Today I decided to close the last two holes of the case as well. (I had a rare system freeze/**** up the other day during Civ3Conquest, probably heat-related? or maybe GSM related ? radio interference ?) I did this so the motherboard...

I have installed various versions of the nvidia driver for the 8800gts many times and the same problem occurs each time. If I can set the resolutions I need (not possible on all driver versions), they are gone next time I boot vista. My target is 1920x1440 for the display, and 1920x1080 for the...

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-10005391-64.html Intel has disclosed details on a chip that will compete directly with Nvidia and ATI and may take it into unchartered technological and market-segment waters. Larrabee will be a stand-alone chip, meaning it will be very different than the...

Hello, I live in an appartment. Once I noticed how my computer crashed which sounded like a crazy power surge. So I wonder: What happens if my neighbours cause a short circuit in the wall socket...

Hello, Today I made a nice video of my Dream PC and Call of Duty 4 Stats ;) :) Also nice music and a little bit of gameplay at the end. Part1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMQ2rPnMOi4

I recently updated my drivers for my 8800 GTX card and now find that almost all my games start with a black screen now - the audio works however so I know the game is booting. I have tried the usual suspects like a Directx upgrade, reinstall of drivers, etc. Any thoughts ? I am convinced it's...

Comment Story doesn't mesh with reality By Charlie Demerjian: Monday, 07 July 2008, 4:32 PM NVIDIA'S STOCK TOOK a long overdue beating the other day, more because Wall Street is collectively horrified that it has been lied to than any fundamentals that are public. That said, the 8K keeps up...

I'm putting together a budget PC based on the Asus M2A-VM motherboard. I'm going to load it up with 2 GB DDR2, an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+, and the OS will be Windows XP (SP2). This machine will *not* be used to play video games, but it will be used for video editing and DVD authoring. It's my...

Why AMD should merge with Nvidia Comment: To save us from Intel By Axonn Echysttas TO QUOTE A famous expression: "there can be only one". Looking at how things shape up for AMD and Nvidia, it's rather obvious to see that in the future there can be only one.

Tried to use a DVI to HDMI cable to run a 16:9 display, and it just won't do it. I get overscan, or very bad underscan. Anybody else have this problem? I can use a GF 8600 GT in the same box, and it gives 16:9 with no problem at all over a DVI to HDMI cable. Also, if I switch to a VGA adapter, and...

Hi, Any one else have this problem (and got it fixed)? I have tried Windows XP Pro SP2 and now SP3. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game. There error I am getting when trying to run the game is something like:
