    Looking for a program to fix dead pixels..

    Alright, next time the 'stuck' pixel pops up, I will give the damp cloth method a try. Thanks guys... will let you know how I make out.

    Looking for a program to fix dead pixels..

    Hey guys, I remember hearing about this program that repeatedly flashed hard colors for a certain duration, in order to 'kill' dead pixels. I would love to give it a try, because my monitor has a dead pixel that only shows up on occasion, so I know there is a decent chance of getting rid of it...

    How much is too much for a video card?

    Well at the time the GTX was just overkill for my needs. A 7900GT is a wicked choice right now though, because games are pushing the GPU harder than ever.

    How much is too much for a video card?

    When I had the choice of buying a 7800GT or 7800GTX, it was a matter of did I really need the GTX? I didn't care about paying the extra, but it would have been wasted because I don't game on anything above 1280*1024, so the GT suited me fine. Like other things in life.. if it makes you happy...

    You know your overclocked went to far when..

    The sad thing is.. they will not admit this. I have been through three cards and they are apparently sending another one, even after I refused to ever use one of these models again. Their customer service is just as bad as this card. I reviewed the card last June or July, and since I...

    Why isn't my signature showing up?

    Timing is everything apparently, but I am not about to test it 10 times ;) I believe it has to do with the caching also. Just like viewing an image, if someone changes the image, the user won't know until a couple more refreshs or a hard refresh. So it's probably not really a forum issue as far...

    Wow, I am quite impressed. That looks amazing.

    Why isn't my signature showing up?

    I didn't say for a second that it didn't exist. You said it may only happen when adding a completely new signature, so I signed up a new account and tested it out. The test failed. It may exist, I just can't catch it, nor have had it happen to myself.

    Vizo Luxon External HDD Enclosure

    Vizo is a new company that's making a mark on the peripheral market. Their Luxon hard drive enclosure is one of the reasons they are making that mark, and we are going to find out why. After reading the review here, feel free to discuss it in this thread!

    Well yes of course. But look at all the work a graphics card does.. A PPU card just handles physics. Really, it's like adding a very specific type of CPU into your machine. I know some people who paid less than $200 for their CPU :)

    Why isn't my signature showing up?

    Well, either it just doesn't work for me, I don't know. Wick is me, and my sig worked immediately after signing up, with no delay whatsoever. I guess I'm just not lucky enough to catch this 'bug'.

    Why isn't my signature showing up?

    I would like to agree... but no. Unless you have an unbelievably slow server, it just shouldn't take any time. Editing your signature does the same executions as making a post. You don't have to wait for your post to show up :P I just tested it on my sig and it was instant. It could have...

    Between $200 and $250 if the original prospect stays true. Yes, that's expensive, which is why they really have to impress in order to sell them.

    AGEIA @ Game Developers Conference

    Our very own Greg King is at this years GDC with the focus on AGEIA to see what they are up to. We hope to discover a lot within the next few days to see what they are up to, and hopefully to see when we will finally be able to get our hands on an actual card. We will keep this article updated...
