    Whats EVE like?

    I was in a corp part of an alliance who were stationed in 0.0 space. It it was still the same old thing. Mining, more mining, hauling, more hauling, and then the occasional fleet battle, which were fairly amusing. Skill? I fail to really see it. As long as you have set up your ship in the right...

    The most awesome sequence(s) in games you've played

    Bioshock, the whole game is one awesome sequence, but if I have to pick just one... i guess it has to be when you discover who Atlas really is and then waking up in Tenebaums safe house and having the little sisters comment on how you're the one that hurts them and how mean you are (providing...

    Whats EVE like?

    I've played EVE for about 6 months. In all honesty, it is a pretty slow and boring game. Travelling is tedious, there's no real skill involved, gaining ISK is usually an utterly boring unrewarding process, there are about 10 different star system backgrounds that just repeat over and over and...

    Gaming at 16x AF and 16x AA for the past 10 months without knowing!!

    I've looked at my profiles and it looks like they are all set to "use global settings" which is the menu where the AA and AF have been set to full. This is really quite bizarre. EDIT - The forceware im using is pretty old, its 163.75

    Gaming at 16x AF and 16x AA for the past 10 months without knowing!!

    I was just very surprised. Is it possible my driver is dodgey? I mean, getting the performance I've been getting with the image quality set that high seems abit fishy to me.... :confused:

    Gaming at 16x AF and 16x AA for the past 10 months without knowing!!

    :eek: I just realised this morning that I've been playing all my games with 16X AF and 16xQ AA since at least last august without realising! I was checking out my nvidia control panel and saw in the global settings that the AA and AF were maxed and forced to overide application settings! I...

    Is it worth upgrading?

    thanks a lot for the info. I'll probably just keep my current CPU for now then. Can't go down to dual core as I need the 4 cores for the stuff I do. However, If I did go to the Q9450 in the future, would my motherboard support it? I've got an Abit IN9 32XMAX which is an nforce 680i chipset...

    Is it worth upgrading?

    But that doesn't answer my question... Does the Q9450 or Q9550 perform BETTER?

    Is it worth upgrading?

    Hey all, I have an Intel QX6700 CPU at the moment. Would I see a worthwhile increase in performance if I went to a Q9450 or Q9550? The main issue with the QX6700 is that it runs pretty hot and I want a quieter PC. Thanks

    The High-Res Screenshot Thread!

    I'm replaying Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, one of my all time favourite games. This game came out in 1999 making it 9 YEARS OLD, but don't you think it looks impressive for a game that old? I sure do.

    Concerned about the state of PC gaming

    Concerned about the state of PC gaming

    I've been thinking lately, it seems PC gaming is in a bad way. Releases seem to be slower than ever, fewer excellant games seem to be coming out and the excellant ones are usually on the conosles anyway. a lot of dosh is required to build a rig that can achiece the same visuals as the current gen...

    Low Frames Per Second... 8800GTX

    Crysis pretty much brings a single 8800GTX to its knees on higher detail settings. It's no surprise your getting the score your getting, it seems about right and yes your CPU will hold the 8800 back abit too..
