Are there any other games besides ARMA 2 that see any signifigant improvements from a C2Q -> i7 upgrade? I read somewhere the improvement was around 20% in ARMA 2, which is quite good, but the game is not fun for me... will games in the future likely benefit from the upgrade as much, or more?

Could not agree more. In 2006 I cringed as I saw the Wii was a gamecube with a remote, but I had as much fun playing mario Galaxy as I did playing Super mario 64. PS3 and the 360 are in no-mans-land if you ask me. If you want a fun games different from the norm go with a Wii, if you want...

I know people have talked about this on here, but is there a guide or site i can go that has all the info on getting my USB logitech mouse to run smoothly? The movement is jerky and it ruins the game.

Easier and cheaper are the only two reasons. If you ever want to play with your IRL friends (crazy concept, right?) you're pretty much forced to play on a console. Call of duty isn't too bad on a console because it's extremely linear, and not extensive. So playing on a console or a PC, youre...

I had a radeon 9200 se (so not too far behind your card) until i finally upgraded a month ago. I played battlefield vietnam, it wasnt competitive at all, but that's what made it fun imo. The card played any source game exceptionally well for how old it was, so give L4D and TF2 a try.

Uhm, he has a valid point? Think of the percentage of money the PC port makes compares to the console version of any game. The consoles are how they make money, spending two weeks porting the game to run on windows is only worth-while if they're going to make more buyers than loose them, and...

Have you tried it with another monitor yet? This sounds like what happened to my 4890 when the memory started failing

Everything looks good, but get the card through someone besides HIS, if there is ever a problem with it, you won't see the card again for months.

Because you can download it legally without paying money? What would you definition of a free game be?

Could you mount this to a 4890?

Bough an HIS 4890 and the memory started failing a week after arrival. Sent it back a month ago and still haven't got it back yet... not to mention the missing 30 dollar rebate. I would never buy from them again.

It's all about the quad-wield :D They shoot, too... Although I'm not doing twice as much damage...

But the video card is less than a week old? Brand new from Newegg... HIS hd 4890

Any way to test and see if it's the memory? I don't have another system to put it in... its OCZ Reaper DDR2 2x2 GB ram @800MHz btw...

Idle around 50, doenst usually get much higher than 70... Is there anything I can toy around with, as far as drivers go? or is that likely not the problem.
