Forgive the naive consumer question, but why isn't this a capability that can be added to videocards or motherboards? Why do we have to keep adding to the list of must-haves to play the latest games? When you lay down 600+ bucks for your top of the line videocard, this should be something you...

I like the res too...... but it means we have to keep upgrading to play the latest games at native. :eek:

They're going to make a killing on 360. :)

Lol. If you're in CA then Amazon charged you sales tax.

Actually, Bethesda has always maintained the game was coming out "early 2006", which retailers correctly assumed to be 1Q 2006 = January through March 2006. Late march was a safe assumption for the retailers to make. Or, Bethesda's reps were lying, which I don't really see the point of...

1) make a fist 2) punch yourself in the eye as hard as you can 3) repeat steps 1) and 2) until you have achieved satisfactory results

Besides self-shadowing, what features were pumped up last year that had to be removed? Bethesda has released it's freakin' opus and you're sniffing at it like it was yesterday's lunch. It will be a great game. Don't worry so much.

If you don't appreciate the Elder Scrolls games by now, you're not going to start based on someone else's opinion. My reccomendation: Don't buy ES games.

OMGWTFBBQ I'm so sorry!!! If it wasn't for people like yourself maintaining law and order around here it would be complete chaos. CHAOS!!!! /jumps out window/

I ordered a red illuminated 82-key Deck keyboard for my rig to replace my Eclipse. Should be here Monday. /psyched/

I think I'll pick one up when they're quite a bit less expensive.

Pffftt. FEAR makes my system get down below 25fps occasionally at 1600x1200 - It's a beast.

Got bored about halfway through. Got a new 1600x1200 monitor and since I can't play at that res, I've shelved it for now. Titan Quest is looking pretty kewl.

If it won't run Prime 95, it isn't stable. You might have no problems with it at all running whatever apps you need to run - but -1 = -1 no matter how you slice it.

That had to have been staged. Imagine if that happened to your son with a computer you bought him. My son would be going home with the event organizer's computer and an apology.

Like, what kind of mousepad should I use? :rolleyes: :p ;)

Link? PC Gamer says 11-21-05. Bethesda says "when it's done". GamePro says 11-25-05. Where did you get 12-5-05?

Same problem, locks up the desktop after exiting. Single core proc here, guys. Latest drivers and patch installed. -Cap'n

I've got close to the same setup and find that at 1600x1200 with everything maxed my framerates range from 25-85. Now 25fps isn't exactly a slideshow, but I understand why you're upset. Just chalk it up to imperfect optimization - not every game is going to run perfectly on an sli setup. I...

Hmm.. nVidia's dowload site seems to be down. :(

Yes. The sound won't be as good, but it is going to be an improvement to your gaming experience and, optimally, reduce the load on your cpu.

Chill, dude. I read this thread cause I was interested in finding out people's opinions on this card, not cause I wanted to "crap" on it. Here's some smileys to make it all good: :) :) :) :D

I appreciate the witness. I said in my response to DudeMan's post that if he wants the Fatal1ty he should get it. I'm not really interested in telling people what they should do. I just wanted to point out that for the same 300 bucks you could get some really decent audio hardware. Is it...

Umm..... Youre a very silly person. Well, not really. You can make stuff on an old 4 track sound great... for an old 4 track.

You can pick up an 896HD on ebay for 250-300 easy. Behringer powered monitors for maybe 150 used.

Cool, and exactly my point. The hardware just can't compete with even low end stuff like MOTU or Focusrite or Presonus etc. Motu's converters on the 896hd are worlds above anything creative can offer, and it's got respectable preamps as well. I think what folks are paying for here is the...

I can just see all the OMG help my keyboard broke or OMGWTFBBQ Optimus dosen't work threads now. Too many parts that can break or require care. It's a keyboard, guys. It's really cool - but I see driver/software/support issues ahead.

...............Meh. For 300+ I'd be looking at used MOTU or Focusrite stuff; real "pro" audio stuff. X-fi is a toy. IMHO, YMMV etc.

AVP3 with Doom 3 engine.

Go buy the game. If you bought it and lost the key, go buy it again. Don't lose the key this time. Problem solved.

I think folks that say it looks the same as DS1 are smoking crack. This game looks very nice at high res. and takes to high levels of antialiasing very well. I'm having fun, and getting waxed quite a lot.

Looks like you're going to get pwned. Brush up on your controller skills!!! Lol.

BFG was very helpful for me, they walked me through some issues that ABIT should have helped me with. They followed up a couple of days later to see how things were working out. They have earned my repeat business.

I also thought it was /boring/

Funny thing. I didn't think D3 was scary. I laughed and was like "whatever, that guys just trying to make a point by saying how scared he was." And I got a little ways into this demo and I'm shutting it down, cause I got freaked out. How cool is that?

A day late and a dollar short for me!! But Rev nailed it on the first guess in my case. FYI, ABIT was completely useless and unhelpful to the point of flippancy. [H] and BFG were the stars of the show IMO.

BFG sent me the new bios today. One of my cards had the .11 bios, the other the most recent .25 bios. You change the file extension of the file they send to .exe and create a boot disk, then boot the machine with the disk and follow the instructions. Insert second card and bridge and that's...

hey guys - I built a pc this weekend (sig) and had 2 vantec vortex hd coolers for my raptors. Plugged 'em in and when we fired it up for the first time there's a fuckin' fire!!!!! Damn - we pulled the plug fast. No damage to the drives or any other components, but a lot of smoke and melted...

Ding ding ding - revenant gets the prize. Mismatched bios. BFG has it on the way. Not that we're home yet, but that was definitely a show stopper. -Cap'n
