I appologize if this appears twice. I had an issue when I tried to post before. I have an AGP 9800 Pro with 128 mb in my P3 1.4ghz machine with 512mb of RAM. The machine is maxed out on processor and RAM so I'm thinking of replacing the video card. Will I see an increase in performance moving...

I work in Windows Vista and I want to build the fastest PC at any price. I never use it for gaming nor for 3D things... What's the fastest graphic board on the market for this use? I see that common graphic board benchmarks on the web, like this: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html,...

Hi, Does anyone know about a good Wireless computer monitor (Monitor's video connection is wireless) ? Thx in advans, Karthik Balaguru

Why is it that anyone with an ounce of common sence can see that Valve and its counterparts had no intention of releasing the game on time and this cat and mouse crap about code being stolen is the worst smoke screen ever. Speak with anyone who has seen the "stolen" code and they will tell you that...

I tried it with my 9600 Pro and Xp 2400 cpu and it plays i get all the cool shadows and such makes the game look great but it slugs arround. With a 9800 Pro and Barton 3200 and PC 3200 ram 200fsb what can i expect FPS wise for an average and maxium ? Thanks.

I have a passively cooled R9800pro using Zalman ZM80A cooler. After upgrading to 3.9 driver from 3.7 and doing one hour of work in desktop (no game playing) the machine hard locked. It stayed locked for about 3 minutes and refused to boot even after power down/up. Then it finally booted only to...

The Pro's are suppose to be out. Someone tell their experiences so far with one please.

Yes guys its been released at last!

I may be showing my age, but what's the point of not using the shift key when normally literate people would? Is this a new fad? What are those who do this trying to say/prove? Did I miss a memo? One thing I've noticed is that this all lower case posting seems to be more from those with...

I'm upgrading my computer to one with new parts, and this is what I'm getting: MSI Neo fis2r Socket 754 Motherboard. Athlon64 3200+ ASUS Radeon 9800xt pc3200 RAM Currently I run win98se for an operation system and I am wondering if I can use win98 with the catalyst 3.10 drivers for my 9800xt. I...

Hey all, is it possible to buy a laptop with a 512mb vid card, for around $2000? If not... can I buy a graphics card seperately and then take out the one that came with the computer, and place the one I bought into it? That is, into a laptop. If I have the correct measurments, it is possible,...

I've waited over a year for my HL2 CD and now ATI is telling me that I never registered or sent my barcode/etc. to them. That's one way to get out of providing the "Free" CD of HL2. Assholes...

Today, I re-installed a Thermalright HS on my 3870 because I wasn't sure if I applied thermal paste properly. I took out the HS, cleaned memory modules and GPU with alcohol, attached memory HS's with thermal tape, and attached the GPU HS after applying artic silver. I re-installed the card and...

I have stuck with ATI for my last three video cards (Rage3D, Radeon 9700 Pro, X800 XT Platinum). It may sound silly but I am going with nVidia for my PCI-Express card for two reasons: (1) It has a powerful single slot design (7900GT) (2) It consumes less power and generates less heat Unless...

This game is really not worth the fuss. It's only good to bring down the performance of an excellent system to its knees. Let's face it... Doom3 is a repetitive 'shoot the incoming monster', next. It does deliver a good gaming experience for a decent system, but frankly it's nothing new in the...
