Exactly i love to see people debate and squirm over the obviously false details of how to get in. I didn't preorder and my vet staus is only 1 so if it matters to be a vet at all it obviously doesn't matter if you call up support and ask them to change it to 8. I also didn't sign up for the...

I dont know how it is in cali but if we ignore the 17 versus 18 thoughts. Here stores wont sell a Teen/Mature rated game to anyone under 17. Sure it happens but in general the main method of obtaining those games wouldn't be blocked by the law. My grandmother mentioned she was picking up a...

Im going from a Laptop with a T9600 OC@3.3 Ghz and a 9800M GS with GTS bios and a 15.6 inch 1366x768 screen to an i5-2500K, Dual GTX 570's and a 27 inch 1080P Its gonna be a hell of a upgrade. I am in the main component waiting stage. Will get my first GPU and monitor in October when BF3 is...

Good shit kayden. Im gonna go smack my columbian friend and ask him to show me what the hell he was seeing during the level load tests. There rarely is any official information on the engines threading. As far as what I read that still stands as written on paper. As i said I can only go off...

I would normally pass this off... but um wow. Coolermaster C690 Advanced style sata dock on top, usb 3.0 port, wire management, the hdd bays and some fan options. If your like me the probably cheap fans aren't a worry since I replace them when I get a case anyways. Fairly impressive copy of a...

My sentry mesh arrived today! I took some pictures. The case with the Sentry installed along with my cup holder and cigarette lighter lol. The only thing I noticed so far is that the common power source might not be so clean when most of the fans are dialed down. I can dial down one...

Bad Company 2 doesn't limit itself to any particular thread count and I wouldn't expect BF3 to be any different. During a level load on BC2 on an i7 you will see 8 cores somewhat busy with threads from the application. I havent looked at it myself but that particular scenario makes sense...

I am glad you guys got around to this one. I was originally going to use it for my rig in progress but decided not to risk that tiny chance that has happened to a few owners of the older systems.

The one thing that is easy to note is that each card by design and each gpu by design only supports particular setups. You will notice that even if SLi allowed for more than quad gpu that the 590's only have one bridge connector limiting them to 2 total cards. The FTW edition Dual 460's have...

Right, I believe what hits home the hardest with BC2 and BF3 will be no different is the effects setting. Because it ties in with physics calculations. Mind you draw distance can put a minor extra load on the cpu since it has more things to send off to the graphics library for rendering...

The HT is probably the only thing that will be saving you. Bad Company 2 on a Core 2 Duo @ 3 Ghz tends to be 80 to 95% during multiplayer and then Punkbuster likes to kick in and eat up to 30% killing the game a bit. Anything prior to an i3 Dual with HT or the like i think should be out of...

? Anyways yeah the PS1 version had the same intro video. It was a cool game back when I didnt have anything to do lol.

I think we're at a transition where the average kid who had a nintendo in 1985 is heading straight into being a 30 year old gamer. Of course there are plenty in the age group 10 to 15 years prior to that who have already hit that point. I think some people even though they enjoyed the dawn of...

Thanks George I thought I was going to have to draw out another explanation in detail after crimson went all silly on me. Ill say it once and say it again the Killawatt reads consumption and is not the same as the PSU's output. It should be noted since we are always guessing off the total...

I just hope they dont get pulled before tomorrow Im buying a crate load lol. Nah just kidding but I will get a few.

Thanks Ill be sure to post. Yeah im going into the 3rd year of my G50VTX5 which has been cpu swapped for a T9600 and overclocked to 3.3 Ghz on a daily basis and the gpu was bios flashed. I voided the warranty week one and it hasn't failed me yet. Battery still holds an hour plus charge but...

93C BSOD's... crap you desktop guys have it rough lol. My 9800M GS running GTS clocks are stock voltage stable until about 90C and that why I have to run GTS Voltage on my particular sample. Because in a laptop thats a real temp. I dont keep tabs on it anymore but prior to the last repaste...

Not sure what was up with that but yes, computer plugged into kill a watt, plugged into wall. Measuring consumption not output. The PSU's output will be about 80% of its consumption. PSU was outputting about 930 watts on all rails total. Within its rated 1000 watts. The Kill a Watt is a...

All correct but im not sure why this hasn't been said. The PSU was not delivering more than its rated power, that we know of anyways. With the approx 80% efficiency the power supply is drawing more power than it is putting out. Which is entirely normal. While getting close to the edge and...
