The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is an OpenGL game, but yes, they are very few. This, to me, is a huge problem. They stick to OpenGL even though it's lackluster in all regards to DirectX. Even the latest OpenGL spec focuses entirely on workstation applications, not games. It's...

We'll have to do something similar to AnandTech's script, but it might not happen right away. Any script is going to take some time to perfect, and we want to make sure it's going to last us for a while. I have to question their decision to not visit Flash-based websites, though. What website...

Nah, it's the regular Linux desktop. It takes a bit longer to boot up for some reason... has a lot to check, and it also takes care of the network mounts during that time. I'm not quite sure it's 2m... I'll test it on the next reboot.

Ahh alright, I'll check out to see what they have. Another option is SilverStone... they seem to be the de facto for HTPC, and even the chassis shown off at Computex would be suitable. I'm doubtful many people purchase mATX boards to install into an ATX chassis, so I think getting a chassis like...

That's true... it goes to show that Microsoft needs to take things a LOT more seriously. I've love to see Linux run on the same notebook though and see the results from that. At least that way, we'd be able to point blame there as well if the same issue is there, or further discover whether or...

Hi Psi*, and welcome to the forums! This is something to take extremely seriously, because you're right... if the CPU proves unstable after two or three days, you essentially just lost that same amount of time crunching (I assume?). If you are looking for raw speed and a CPU that's going to...

Whoa! Now that's old-school, haha. You were ahead of the curve, that's for sure. Home PCs didn't begin to catch on until what, like ten years later? It wasn't until the 90's when things exploded.

You are referencing an article that's over a year old... there's going to be some variances. Each card has had refined drivers since then, and as a result, the landscape has changed a little bit. This particlar thread belongs to an outdated article... it was followed-up to a week later...

Senior Editor Brett Thomas has been spending a lot of time analyzing the video games industry recently, and come up with an interesting set of findings. In an open letter to the entire sector, he discusses the challenges facing gaming, the quickly changing landscape and some strategies to keep...

Alright, I took World in Conflict for a spin, and I like it. Here are the results: ATI Radeon HD 4890 World in Conflict 1680x1050: 46 / 56.737 2560x1600: 28 / 35.701 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 World in Conflict 1680x1050: 47 / 62.220 2560x1600: 29 / 34.945 There...

From our front-page news: At Techgage, we take our benchmarking methodologies seriously, as evidenced by my post from earlier today. In order us to feel completely confident in our results, we need to make sure that we exhaust our methods from all angles, making sure that the room for error is...

From our front-page news:I've made my love for virtualization well-known in our news section a few times in the past few months, and the reason is obvious, but simple: it's useful. I've been running Windows XP inside of my desktop Linux for months now, and haven't had much of an issue. It sure...

Alright, I just gave that game a test now (at least with its built-in benchmark), and I had no idea it was so graphically-demanding (yes, I'm embarassed). So I'm going to give it a good test soon, and if all goes well, I have a feeling IT will replace HAWX, rather than Riddick. It would be great...

Whew. /wipes sweat from brow. This is exactly the hassle I hope it'd be! ;-) I had high hopes for being able to include Burnout Paradise, but it's a no-go. The developers, for whatever reason, decided to cap the frame rate to 60 FPS, and at the same time, omitted the ability to disable Vsync...

From our front-page news: If there's one thing manufacturers are starting to clue into, it's the fact that product naming schemes are far too confusing for the regular consumer. Take, for example, the ATI Radeon 9800 PRO and the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+. One is vastly superior to the other, but...

From our front-page news:Every so often, I'll stumble on a game that seems rather simplistic and boring at first, but becomes incredibly addictive fast. When a friend linked me to "Minecraft", I wasn't sure what to think. Each level is generated on the fly, and it's there for you to alter...

From our front-page news: For most enthusiasts, hearing the name "NVIDIA" invokes thoughts of graphics cards, GPUS, more graphics cards and even more GPUs. But according to the company's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, a few years down the road, the company is going to be known for a lot more than that...

From our front-page news: Yesterday, we posted about GlobalFoundries' demonstration of silicon built on a 22nm node, and according to some reports, that's just about as low as we're going to be able to go, at least for a while. According to market research company iSuppli, Moore's Law is going...

Thanks for the comments guys! Glad the article proved interesting. T-D: You gotta hit up Asia at some point... you won't regret it. It's just so different there. As I mentioned, the differences might be good or bad depending on your views, but you certainly wouldn't leave disappointed...

OCZ passed this thread along: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53127 It doesn't look like it's fixable :-(
