    Here comes DirectX 11

    Lmao, that was Cliffy B from Epic Games. Unreal engine 4 will be interesting to see if it doesn't use any API. EDIT: Opps, it was actually Tim Sweeney. You can read the interview at http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/36410/118/ "realistically, I think that DirectX 10 is the last...

    Nvidia PhysX dirvers for CUDA enabled GPU's

    GTX 280 Crysis Benchmarks

    Just to run a quick comparison, at DX10 very high settings i just ran my 8800gts 640mb card through the GPU test in crysis at 1440x990 and averaged 25 FPS, so this would mean roughly a 40-50% boost from what i have now.

    GTX 280 Crysis Benchmarks

    Wasn't DX10 supposed to get rid of the CPU overhead issues...? I wonder if this review was using dx9 very high or dx10

    Fry's has SKU for GTX 260 and 280

    the 8800gts was 400$ at launch, looks like the 260 is 500$ which pushed it just out of my budget.... Heres hoping for ATI!!

    8800GTS texture flicker in BF2

    Its a driver issue, nvidia even says so in the release notes (or at least they did when the 8800gts 640 first launched) Consider yourself lucky that you dont play reality mod where things get 10 times worse

    RapiHD: CUDA and H.264

    Anyone here know how CUDA works with SLI? For example could i keep an old 8800 and stick in a newer card (e.g. GTX 280) with it and have them work together for things like physx or video encoding?

    Sorry for the confusion, it was 10-30 ms. At the time, i thought the program i was using was counting in ms, but it was cs, and i jumped to conclusions too fast. Wish you could edit newegg reviews... :/ Here is what it looked like If anyone wants to know, in the end i returned the monitor...

    starcraft 2 on 8400m GS

    Its using an updated WC3 engine, so go download the WC3 demo, and then crank AA/AF up to 8-16x and that is probably a good place to start for guessing how SC2 will run

    Nvidia claims "GPU matters more than a CPU" controversy

    Heres a thought, Nvidias next gen GPU, the 10800 has 256 stream processors all capable of running x86/64 instructions and run anything intel chips can.... I know its no likely, but we are talking crazy :cool:

    E8400 Temperature problems

    Well, after hitting the upper limits of the stock heatsink and all the fans i could cram into my case, ive hit a limit of about 3.6 ghz with the e8400. Anyone out there have a good recommendation for a good heatsink thats not over 50$? preferably something at newegg too

    E 8400 owners

    Oh great, now Im not sure if i made a total mistake getting the 8400.... I can still return it, but is this something to really be concerned about? Anyone know if the P35s will be updated to work better with these chips? And from the looks of things, as long as you stay below 1.4v, you shouldnt...

    E8400 Temperature problems

    Well, after double checking the heatsink, i found my problem. When i first installed it, only 2 of the tabs popped in, while the other 2 went into the motherboard, but never "clicked" in. I was a little afraid to push them any further before, because it was bending the motherboard a bit, and i...

    E8400/8500 vs Q6600 quad-core

    What would be the difference between a Phenom 9600 and a E8400? They are about the same price, and I'm really in the need of an upgrade here... Anyone have any advice about that? are the 2 cores in the 8400 fast enough to beat the 4 in the 9600?

    Input lag tests?

    The stop watch is counting forward, not backward in time, so the CRT has less lag ;) Also, MS are 1/1000th of a second, not 1/100th, but that program only counts to 1/100th, so it really is 10-30 MS input lag. That part confused me too :(

    nope, you have to open up the "secret" menu, or open up the panel and take a look at the number in there.

    Give a newbie a hand!

    Good luck with everything! also keep in mind, you can get DVI to HDMI converter cables, although I'm note sure how HDCP works over that :confused:

    Give a newbie a hand!

    Best advice would be to go to your local best buy and take a look for yourself. Personally, i thought the HPs were a lot better then the Samsungs, but because of the panel lottery its really a toss up. They all seem like great models, if you could just get a good version of either, go for it.

    Input lag tests?

    Hate to hijack a thread, but since this one already seems to be dedicated to input lag i thought id post in here. After reading this one, i got a little worried about a recent 24" LCD i got and its input lag and did some side by side tests with an older CRT and a stopwatch program and took some...

    What is this input lag you speak of

    Would you happen to have a link to a good stopwatch program for such a test? :)
