Hi, sorry to disappoint but didn't go for one of these in the end as I saw an Asus one on the MM for a good price & went for it. I would suggest looking for one with a dedicated graphics card though, as a built in one really saps the speed. I was really tempted to get one of these ( after...

Has anyone on here done a proper " user" review of the PC 363D's. Most of the reviews I've read appear to be a bit "rosetinted" towards the manufacturer.

Just looked at an impressive review of the PC 363D & wondered is anyone actually using this headset ? as opposed to the PC 360's which I know is very popular with gamers on here. There seems to be very little feedback from users so far & would welcome some thoughts before deciding which to buy.

Bioshock has it's own style..............Unreal engine is superb, I really like this type of atmosphere in a game so, top for me Crysis 3 is ......as always, amazing graphics & gameplay so runs a close second ! Tomb Raider .....yet to start this.........too many good games released at once ! !

These sort of problems are down to optimization of the game with your hardware, we all seem to be having issues at the moment with this game but, its with the "game " not your system. Make sure you have installed the very latest graphics drivers & run no higher than one from Ultra settings ...

The Asus Essence STX is a superb card, agreed it doesn't have 5.1 support, the sound through even moderate speakers take some beating ( don't be put off by posts reporting driver problems , mine works fine with latest Asus ones ). Many people on this forum use Sennheiser PC 350 headset as a...

Corsair Vengeance 1500.......I would also advise getting these

No , the DAC should have no effect on eliminating an EMI problem, you obviously have tried different configurations on where the card is positioned on the board, if so, until you try a shielded card in your setup you won't know if it will cure your problem. I have a Xonar D1 in my setup & have...

The Claro II looks to be PCI only, where as the STX is PCI-E. The problem is it doesn't have any op-amp sockets and it uses AD8066 for just it's Front L and R output and headphones out. If your looking at it for headphone usage only it wouldnt be worth it as both STX and X-FI HD PCI-E would be...

Are you using the latest Asus website drivers ( about 2yrs old ) or have you opted for the Xonar unified drivers ? I have read mixed views on which to use.

"Eames" has got it spot on , we look back on these titles with affection but computers & graphics have improved 20fold + so, they never play or feel quite the same. It was a golden franchise which should have adapted to better graphics, the gameplay AI were great & would still be challenging...

Thanks mate , it was regarding colour reproduction on the screen but, I think you have answered that re calibration. Glad it's all going well

@ MeAnBoy How's it going with this laptop ? did you get to improve the graphics to your liking? also, what's your opinion on Ivy Bridge & 3rd gen intel cpu's over sandy bridge ? ?

Thanks for sorting that .....Really tempted by one of these :-)

This is what I want to avoid doing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6PDvrm-voQ

That's totally different , the removable cover on the bottom was not on the model I saw the guy getting at the HDD. That does improve the appeal of the laptop. Could you still confirm this as your model please as, I know there are variants around the world for this model by what is being...

the ability to replace the HDD easilywith a SSD is an important point as the cost of them is rapidly becoming affordable. Please post what you find about how difficult it is to do I do a lot work on old b/w & colour photo's in Corel Photo & a HD screen is a real bonus as I need to scan them at...

So, probably a winner in the making ? What do you think how robust the chassis is for moving around in the daily commute ? Is this going to bend & dent as easy as the XPS range does! I am interested in this "se" model for the HD screen being a standard feature. Also how easy will it be to...

I should wait a few days , the cards are currently falling in price. You should get a much better deal by the end of the month with all the new models hitting the streets

Amazing how quick the world changes.........fastest yesterday! The graphics card industry is moving at such a fast pace I expect 2 cards will soon be packaged together to sell as a SLI kit ! Watch this space. ;)
