    GTA IV and Far Cry 2

    I don't have much time for games any more but I am finding these to be pretty good. The thing I am most blown away with is the fact that I have such a great degree of freedom. I am finding the GTA IV multiplayer to be a huge breath of fresh air compared to the restrictive, tiny map based games...

    2D quality diff between two Nvidia cards?

    I'm still paranoid about "back in the day" when all video cards were not created equally concerning 2D quality. I'm thinking of upgrading my card and am wondering if I will see any 2D difference between an XFX or an EVGA 9800 GT. I really shouldn't since they are using the same chip, right? I...

    Looking for a certain type of gameplay

    I'm looking for these things in an online FPS game. If you have any recommendations please add them.: 1. jungle or outdoor terrain. Vegetation is a huge plus for realism. 2. Open world or real feeling maps. I can no longer tolerate the "rat in a box" style of online FPS like TF2 or CS:S. I...

    FS: Intel E6550 and EVGA 8600 GT

    Asking $60 and $3 shipping for the E6550 Duo Core. Comes with original fan and heat sink. Asking $40 and $5 shipping for the 8600 GT 256mb EVGA PCIe. Works great. Neither of these items has ever been overclocked at all. Not into that stuff. I accept Paypal. Thx.

    Kingston phasing out V series

    Just talked with a Kingston rep. This also includes the new 40Gb models with intel controllers I ordered one two weeks ago and it never came. Found out why.

    Looking to buy Kingston SSD 40gb, what store?

    Hey all - I'm looking at buying the new Kingston 40gb SSD for my new install of Windows 7. However, I noticed that Newegg is gouging on these prices and Amazon is out of stock. Are there any other stores out there the posters here vouch for? Thanks.

    Finally picked up a new monitor

    Thanks everyone for the help. I compared a ton of models. Probably the biggest help to me was Snowdog's posts talking about his NEC. I think the term "go a for a good TN or go for the best IPS" is a great line of approach. There seems to be quality control issues with the "inbetweens". In the...

    HP 2475 or Samsung 245T?

    Both are around $600. The 2475 is a S-IPS panel, the Samsung is S-PVA. Both are wide gamut, but the Samsung reportedly has a pretty good sRGB mode. Has anyone had any experience with these two monitors side by side? Thx.

    non-wide gamut MVA/S-IPS-/S-PVA for around $600?

    Thanks for any pointers. I'm looking at the Samsung 2443 BW for TN, and looking at non-wide gamut IPS monitors. Also, anyone know if the 2443 offers 1:1 pixel mapping? Thanks.

    Looking for a card in the $130 - $170 range

    I've had good luck with EVGA and Nvidia. I'd like to be able to play GTA IV, BioShock and COD:World At War with 30+ FPS at high settings (except GTA IV, I realize those settings are for future systems). I don't game nearly as much as I used to but I'd like to play those games. Any recs or...

    Why buy S-PVA and S-IPS?

    With OLED around the corner, these monitors will be expensive door stops. It seems to me that S-PVA and S-IPS are the "compact discs" of the current generation, with CRT's being "vinyl", TN panels being "digital downloads", and OLED being Blu-Ray.
