  1. Nice find. Wish I had another pci-e slot...and a job.
  2. Sometime in 97' before I got a Voodoo card, I bought a Techworks Laguna 3D. Since it used the same DRAM memory as the N64 used I thought it would kick arse, boy was I wrong. After a couple days I sent it back to Techworks and they gave me a full refund. The video card was THAT BAD. It used a Cirrus Logic chipset. Also somewhere in after the Voodoo but before Voodoo 2, instead of the Virge card I used a Rendition V2200 with the Voodoo but I can't remember the specifics. I do remember playing some games like Tomb Raider and Whiplash with the Rendition card because it had better quality over 3dfx at equal or greater fps. Unfortunately both companies are gone now, I would have like to see what Rendition could have done after the V2200 chip.

  4. I played the games a second time around stating few months ago, got around 100hrs in. Did the quests that I didnt do the first time like the Mages Guild. Pretty cool once you are accepted into the guild you gain access to all of their equipment in the Imperial City's hall, you can create you own spells and enchant weapons. If I ever play again I would try Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul mod, or more common the ooo mod. It's still a fantastic game and one of my favorites of all time. As good as Fallout 3 is I still have played Oblivion for more hours. (that's not to say that Fallout3 isn't awesome)
  5. Is there a demo for this?
  6. May be a publicity stunt of some sorts but I doubt it. I dunno but a week ago no one could care less and now it's gaming hottest topic. (yeah I know it's a double negative but I'm in the South) Balls of Steel sound board vent prank, it's old but it still cracks me up. I wouldn't let the children in the house listen in.

    Stoked!

    Don't forget the Ninja Warrior training section!
  8. I've actually only built one computer (12 years ago). Everything after that has been upgrades. ditto. i've never done a completely brand new build. Yeah actually the first machine I built had a Virge, 3dfx, ISA sound card and external modem upgrades that was carried over from a Packard Bell I had bought. The stupid PBell only had 1 free PCI slot, I first put a Virge in there and it puked up 3D so I swapped it out for a Voodoo and ran it with the built in Cirrus Logic. After I bought the PBell I vowed never to buy another prebuilt comp again, and I haven't.

  10. Here's my video card history Cirrus Logic ??? 2mb S3 Virge/DX 4mb Voodoo 4mb (+ Cirrus Logic 2mb) Voodoo 2 12mb (+ S3 Virge 4mb) Voodoo 3 16mb Radeon (original) 64mb Radeon 8500 64mb Geforce 5900 XT 128mb Geforce 6800 GT 256mb Geforce 7900 GT 256mb Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb Geforce 8800 GT 512mb Geforce GTX 260 896mb Post up your's but don't strain too much thinking back. According to my video mathematical equation, what should be my next video card?
  11. Getting drunk without the drinking? I love the dry heaves!
  12. Is that the right command? says unknown command Ah, you have to use mat_queue_mode 0 doh! It smoothed out the studdering about 85%, but the last time it did it it was for about 5 seconds. I cant handle that. I disable the CPU feature again, the small boost isnt worth it.
  13. Ah, I had to disable Multicore Processing in the advanced settings in the video options. Game runs fine now.
  14. So I got the game today, but the game just doesn't agree with my system. I have hiccups right off the bat, sometimes 1 second pauses up to 5 or 10 seconds. Then there's the game lock ups. So far I've only tried to play single player. I installed updated video drivers but it didn't resolve anything. I have no problems running running any other game like Oblivion, TF2, Falloot 3 and I recently beat Bioshock with no issues. System: Intel E2160@3.2 and Geforce GTX 260 default with 4gb ram.
  15. Wow that's low. Makes me want to hang it on the wall and use it as a computer monitor. Just found this http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/product...amp;lid=1022053

    Slap Chop

    Once he said 'here add a mushroom' I couldn't control my laughter. Best thing I've seen all year.
  17. Looks like her face is stuck like that. My sister in law is the same way, to get anything else out of her you have to catch her off guard.
  18. What kind if electricity you guys running up there?
  19. It doesn't matter with plasmas as their display method differs from LCDs in a way that doesn't cause the motion blur associated with LCDs. Motion Blur (thanks to Ruff_Ryder for the good link) Good motion blur read. That's exactly why I ditched my last lcd (22" Asus) and went back to CRT for computer gaming. I can't handle the blur. And while I've never noticed any blurring watching a movie on my plasma, if I concentrate on the pointer and move it real fast I can see some playing my Wii.
  20. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16889187110 I have no idea how well the picture looks but I've have a Panasonic Viera 50" plasma for almost 3 years and I love it. It's only 720p but movies and the newer HD cable shows just look fabulous. Get plasma, 600Hz! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16889187115 OK, I don't know what 600 Hz Sub-field Drive means.
  21. I ran the High Definition Pack but I haven't played in months. http://www.gamrs.co/forums/in...showtopic=37773 With this mod and F3 set to Ultra the game looks awesome but be prepared for a performance hit if you don't have current gen hardware.
  22. I bought the game last week but amazon is taking freaking forever, they even waited 4 days before they shipped it. I've ordered non-game items from them before and get the stuff in a day or two. Right now the tracking says it should arrive on the 8th. I'll never order another game from them if I can help it.
  23. I wonder why they just dont have a demo of the game.
  24. Na the 5200 only has 2mb while the 8400 has 6mb. With the new rev of the e5200 they should be able to go 200-300 more then the current chips. I'm hoping 4.0 will be easy. Seems the more complex the game and higher the rez, game performance is boiling down to the GPU. Well for us single GPU folks anyways.
