    3D monitor any good lcd ones?

    I have a BenQ XL2410T but it really undelivers in term of 3D. Going from 3D I find it introduce so much graphical issues it´s not worth it. All it let me do is see what I was missing from my CRT time :( But is there considerably better monitors with 3D support nowadays? I noticed not all...

    Swiftech Storm on Socket 1150

    Has anybody seen an adapter for this? I am on socket 775 now and I assume it´s not the same approach? Swiftechs homepage don´t even list the storm anymore just some apogee CPU blocks.

    nVidia Geforce Experience

    Installed this with the latest package but seriously what´s wrong with it. It found Bioshock Infinite/skyrim and some others and all they suggest I run minimum settings at 1280x720 on my GTX 580 and Core 2 Duo at 3,6 gig. Hope there is no total PC newbies that make the misstake of following...

    DVI turning bad?

    I have a hard time figuring out where to post this thread. I have two monitors that have VGA/DVI/HDMI inputs. A BenQ G2400W and a XL2410T. On the older G2400W I started experience issues with visual artefacts where all was green and rasterized and crap. Similar to if you overheat memory on...

    what size is the T-screws on the GTX580 stock cooler?

    Maybe this is different from brands but I got a Zotac GTX 580 with what I believe is the reference cooler and need to remove it to install my waterblock. I have a T8 but it´s to big. Wonder if it´s T6 or maybe T5 they use? I believe you have to remove the plastic cover for the MCW80 waterblock...

    water reservoir not at the top how do you solve this?

    I am changing my case to a Fractal Design XL R2 and want to do without my reservoir. In my current build it´s at the top so no big problem refilling. However thinking of getting a new system with the reservoir in the radiator but I just can´t see how I can get that on top of my CPU and GPU...

    GTX 580 with only core cooled?

    I have a waterblock that only cools the core. I have no intention to overclock and with CPU and GPU cooled I hope to be able to achieve decent ambients temperature and a decent airflow of course. Would you think this would work? How much difference would cheapass heatsinks do to the memory...

    6-to 8pin moles or 2x4pin to 8-pin for GTX 580?

    My PSU just died and wonder what adapter would be best? The replacement PSU is a bit weaker so I doubt I will be doing much overclocking on the GPU side anyway. PSU only got one 8-pin molex connector which goes to the mainboard thus I need another 8-pin adapter. Only 2 6-pin molex. It´s a...

    Ridge Racer 7 demo

    Anybody tried this. For me it felt like some alpha code or something. no vibration support and no physics no nothing? I enjoyed the Ridge Racer 6. Simple concept which should be hard to totally break or have I matured?

    de Blob 2

    I am about to buy this title. However I wonder in the PS 3 store it´s marketed as 3D compatible. Now if I buy this in a regular store I will still get the 3D capability? Asking because I noticed God of War also was in 3D now but my god of war collection I bought when it came out I don´t get...

    hdmi port on GTX 580 and 3D TV

    My hdmi cable is to short to try. Wonder if it´s just for audio or if I can hook up a tv through it? Any chance by using a hdmi 1.4 hdmi cable I would be able to watch 3D files from 3d vision live for example on a 3D TV? I have 3D vision but not 3D vision 2.

    ATI Radeon HD 6770M supporting bluray 3d playback

    This or regular SBS playback from harddrive. I find no settings in my notebook which has switchable Intel HD 3000 and Radeon 6770M playback.

    software that accurately give you your cpu clock in windows?

    I am getting a bit paranoid over this. I run 9x400 in bios and it´s recognized on boot up. However cpuid or system information in windows want to make me believe I run stock settings for my 2.4 gig Core 2 Duo. Is there any application that can detect the real setting. CPUID does detect the...

    pinball fx2 (zen pinball)

    Looking for new fresh pinball experiences and wonder what people like about this. Pinball FX 2 is an updated game engine compared to PS 3s Zen Pinball as far as I understand? I tried the demos but they break apart the gameplay to fast to really be able to pass any judgement. I don´t want to...

    How to get old games to play nice

    Any general tips? I am currently running windows 7 which maybe complicates things some more? Outcast for example. Not stellar performance on a 3,6 gig Core 2 Duo? But after 30 minutes or so it´s so stuttery you just have to give up. Lowered the resolution to 400x300 didn´t seem to help much...

    pinball games that allow for vertical resolutions?

    I suppose only PC games may come in question here. 1080x1920 would be oh so much more natural for pinball then 1920x1080 :)

    nVdia video cards how do you go about running different resolutions on dual displays

    I got a GTX 580 and windows 7. For movies I want the opton to run DVI or VGA simultaneously as HDMI. I use HDMI to get access to HD audio. However I have a 720p LCDTV and like all LCD TVs their native resolution is NOT 720p. It´s 1366x768. For 3D movies I instead need to run DVI for my 120...

    ATI and 3D

    Hi! I have been off the video card market for many years now. My 8800 GTX still let me pretty much max out every title at the resolutions I game with. However investing in a 3D monitor I wonder if ATI have any plans delivering 3d software for todays true 120 hz 3D monitors? Looking at ATIs...

    Odds for ever seeing 3D TVs with true 120 hertz technology?

    I am in the hunt for a 3D PC monitor and the only one that cut it so far is the BenQ XL2410T due to it´s stand. However I am still worried it´s not solid enough since it´s entirely made of plastic. There may be better dedicated stands to put on your desk that you may even be able to easilly bolt...
