    X-Fi Titanium PCI-Express: Are there Cracking & Popping issues with Battlefield 2 & 2

    If you don't hear any popping or cracking on your X-Fi Platinum, I won't recommend upgrade to X-Fi Titanium unless you need optical input/output or Dolby Digital Live.

    X-Fi Titanium PCI-Express: Are there Cracking & Popping issues with Battlefield 2 & 2

    Considering X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro PCI-E also got EMI shield and real-time Dolby Digital Live encoding via optical output and the price is about right $120 street price, it is definitely a nice upgrade even for X-Fi Xtremegamer Fatality Pro PCI. Also the review showed X-Fi Titanium PCI-E...

    After you guys' recommendation, I just bought X-Fi Titanium PCI-E for Windows Vista running BF2142, and so far no more cracking and popping sounds especially when artillery firing. Very good!

    X-Fi Titanium PCI-Express: Are there Cracking & Popping issues with Battlefield 2 & 2

    Ok, now Creative came out with X-Fi Titanium PCI-Express, which supposedly should fix the cracking and popping issues with Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2132 since Creative technical support said the probelm with X-Fi and Battlefield series lied in PCI bus. Now the new audio card is using PCI-E...

    Age of Conan Gameplay Performance and IQ @ [H]

    Some benchmark showed that in AoC, 4870 doesn't perform as well as 280 comparing to in CoD4 4870 vs 280. I am hoping that my next video card would get me a gain of 15-20 fps at 1920x1200 with 4xAA.

    I wasn't trying to criticize him or anything. My system is 2-3 years old, so I am trying to figure out what kind of gain I would get if switch to 4870 or 280 playing AoC. He is using the same monitor I am using. Just that the pic location he took is a generally high framerate area.

    use Ctril+Alt+F to turn on framerate monitor if I remember correctly in AoC. In the AoC, when High settings are on, the AA, Shadows, reflection and viewing distances are not necessary to Max. Don't know if u ever been to a location called Carnibell's Cave. Inside, my framerates dropped to...

    Age of Conan Gameplay Performance and IQ @ [H]

    All settings to High doesn't mean all to Max. What did u set for AA, AF, shadows, and viewing distances (quality and otherwise), water reflections? The map you are in tends to have higher framerate. I am getting 30-50 framerates in that map. Let see if u can get same framerate in Old...

    Best Card for 2560x1600?

    LOL, yeah, medium setting looks than FarCry. Just I saw the visual differences between Medium and High (not Very High) settings are too great. Currently, with my sig system, I can play Crysis on High settings at 1920x1200 no AA => 25fps on XP. I tried Medium settings to increase a few...

    Nvidia taking it easy on AMD to allow them to compete better against Intel?

    No, who? When I told my wife about my Eurika idea of a cola drink with added gingsing and more caffeine, couple minutes later Pepsi came out with the commercial about Pepsi gingsing with more caffeine.
