Hi, I have a n MSI K7t266 pro2 mobo and an MSI GF4 4200ti 128mb 4x agp card. The mobo BIOS has a "fast write " option which it describes as allowing direct communication with the video card to increase performance if the video card supports this option. Does anyone know if this card supports "Fast...

Hi, I just bought a 128MB DDR AGP Video Card with nVidia's GeForce4 MX440 3D Chip and TV-Out. When I fisrt installed it was working great, but the next day when turning on the computer the display was with a lot of characters with different colors. I removed the card physically from the PC and I...

I've just recently upgraded my video card from a GeForce 2 MX 400 to a GeForce FX5600 and have noticed an odd occurence in Spearhead since doing so. Most maps seem to display ok but several have a very limited drawing distance (ie the background just pops in out of no where). The only map I can...

Hi all, My friend has bought a new PC and is trying to run "Stronghold 2". When he starts the game the monitor goes black and gives the message "display setting not supported h 42hz v 85.1hz" or something like that. It seems the game is trying to use a refresh rate outside the monitors range, but...

Whenever I try to use the refresh override with the 45.23 drivers, I get the error: "An error occurred while Windows was working with the Control Panel file C:\WINNT\System32\desk.cpl" I've read numerous other reports of this, but I have been unable to remedy the situation. I tried deleting a...

Looking at an FX 5900 to upgrade my GeForce 3 Ti 500 (it's been a while). I see pricewatch vendors selling the FX 5900 in the 170 range. Right up my alley, or so I thought. After I saw the benchmarks, I knew something didn't add up; a high-end GPU for under 200... yea, right. I've been buying...

Hi! Within few days I should, for the first time, try out my VIVO connection on my MSI GF5900SPVTD. I'm wondering which is the best software for capturing/encoding/editing video sourced from VHS. My intention is to transfer the finishing product to DVD-R. Thanks in advance!

It seems that since I started using Windows Media Player version 9, that when I try to play certain mpeg movie clips, I get the following message: "An operation failed due to a certification failure" Is Microsoft engaged in some sort of "Copy Protection"? If so, what is the best work-around?

Im buyign a new video card. I want the best vide card. Now i know there are 256 meg ones out now. Of both the radeon and nvidia. SO what i wanna know DO the 256 meg ones run slower? AN which 1 will work best with games. The Radeon 9800 or geforce FX5900?? If these are the best i dunno i just read...

Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen ;) After having finished the single player campaign... I just could not wait any longer and simply had to try the multiplayer even if it would cost me some sleep and even if I would be tired :) And yes Ladies and Gentlemen LOL, rest assured the multiplayer works...

Hello, I'v been ignoring Company of Heroes Tales of Valor review for a while... I didn't want to write a review because I am little bit ****ed off that I can't play it online... But I have been playing it in hamachi and a new service called: "Tunngle" which works even better than...

:):):) Hi, It's me again lol, your game reporter Skybuck =D lol. Yes,yes,yes,yes As some of you know I have a crap/budget system: Pentium III 450 mhz upgraded with a Geforce FX5200 so I can play the latest games.

Hello People, I just played 7 hours of Ghostbusters "The video game". I used the reloaded crack for the vitality release ;) :) which solves the getting killed real fast in level 1. However the reloaded crack also has "anti-pirate" gameplay in level 10 or so...

Hello peeps. Yes it's me again Skybuck your game reporter. I'll keep it short and brief. First of all dungeon siege 2 demo (1.5 gigabyte) runs perfectly on a Pentium III 450 mhz and a geforce fx 5200. However that's not quite true, the only problem is with the video playback. The sound stutters.

Hi, Just played DiRT carrier mode. A very cool race game with beautifull graphics and pretty good sound. It's the first game that brings my two gtx 7900 cards to a screaching halt on all high.. (maybe bad programming who knows ;)) but the game is still pretty beautifull on low or medium.
