What's the simplest, most effective way of testing a video card? My one month old computer is equipped with an X800 XT PE video card, which has handled everything I've thrown at it. Still, the games that I've thrown at it aren't exactly cutting edge: Neverwinter Nights, The Sims 2, Thief...

Last summer I crashed out on my couch and played the superb Full Spectrum Warrior on my Plasma TV - this was the only Xbox title that I actually had any fun with. Now I want to play the PC version on my computer. Is there anybody out there in possession of the PC version who would like to do...

My computer hasn't arrived yet, but to prepare myself in advance, how do I go about optimizing the system to make certain that the video card is running at its maximum capacity? After having read through this forum, about the only thing I can figure out is that I must remove any programs that...

This week Dell is offering a 'free' upgrade on its speakers - in fact, you're paying for these speakers whether you want them or not, since the 'no speaker' option has been removed from the list. So the question is, are these speakers any good for gaming? FREE UPGRADE! Dell 5650 5.1...

Believe it or not, but my new PC is going to be kept in my kitchen - yes my kitchen. Space is very, very limited in my... um, 'home' and I simply haven't got any room for a desk. The monitor will be placed up high, inside a cupboard, and the computer underneath in a lower one. There will be...

Of course I'll be configuring the system around the video card. My options are: 128MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon™ X300 SE 256MB Nvidia® GeForce 6800 GTO Graphics Card [add $400 or $10/month1] 256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) nVidia GeForce 6800 [add $200 or...

Obviously it's pointless to pay for a powerful video card if your CPU can't keep up. Alternatively, if your CPU is outperforming your video card, then you've spent extra money on a powerful CPU for no reason (at least at present). Has anybody ever benchmarked different configurations as to...

Am I a fool to continue holding out for an Nvidia 6800 GT configuration option from Dell? I've been waiting for four months now.

I'm a passionate computer gamer, and although I believe that people should be allowed to voice an opinion, and say their say, the so-called 'Valve Sucks' thread just makes me sick to my stomach. So I've posted this thread because I feel the need to protest the protesters. In fact...

Are you completely happy with your current video card and Half-Life2? I'm still debating between the 9800 pro or the 6800 GT - and no I haven't bought my PC yet. What I'm hearing is that HL2 actually runs pretty well on the 9800 pro. I've heard that LOTS of folks are ordering more RAM, just...

I'm holding off on buying a Dell until they allow for a 6800 GT configuration. Is anybody else waiting for the same? My next best option is to buy a Dimension XPS with the ATI X800 XT card - something tells me that the Dimension 4700 with the 6800 GT card would be a better deal. If...

This will be old news for many of you, but Valve Software's resident technical guru, Gary McTaggart, was questioned about the latest generation of graphics technology. When asked which technology was the best for Half-Life2 - the NV40 series (GeForce 6800) or the R420 series (Radeon X800) -...

Bear with me please. I'm not a technical person and know virtually nothing about video cards. I did a bit of research, however, and decided that if you're going to buy a PC for gaming purposes (as I'm about to), then you really should build your system around the video card. I quickly...
