You're lucky that you have Gainward's cooling system. In my opinion, its the best one you can get besides things like the NV Silencer 5. I've seen the card and wish they had a PCI-e variant so I could grab one. :D The stock GT cooling sucks... Or just my cooling

Well if you don't have any OEM software included w/ it, you can use the nVidia utility or you can use CoolBits or Riva Tuner.

SCREW PATIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE IT ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am inclined to agree. RELEASE THE GAME NOW!!! I would've been happier if they released both of the games in december or atleast had given the PC version more priority. There are 5 people working on the PC version now which is sad...

Agreed, the AGP technology is now nearly 5 years old. The next generation of cards will probably be all PCI-E cards. However, if you have to buy a new motherboard, don't really bother. An AGP 6800 series card should be good for 2 or 3 years.

Hades, I found the Grey Case you were looking for. Its $99 from www.buyxg.com but its w/o a PSU. Link

Aaargh..... THIS GAME HAS TO COME OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Spoiler Forum, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Huh?

If you are planning to buy a new motherboard w/ a 915 or 925 Chipset, you NEED a PCI-E. For any older socket 478 motherboard, AGP is all they have. Don't bother getting a PCI-Express just for the hell of it because buying a new motherboard means you need a new LGA 775 processor, DDR2 ram and a PCI-E card. The difference between the two is maybe 1 - 3 frames for most games. Also, most AMD motherboards (except for A8N-SLI and stuff like that) still have AGP support. It's not really a big deal.

actually it's just DDR it's dualchannel 400(2x200), it's 2x512MB ram and the 6800 is AGP 8x, PX is too pointless in my opinion right now anyway, plus i bought my card before they even invented PX. And believe me when I say, Gainward is also a great G-card manu. that allows huge OC's, the stock on my GT was 350/1000, and I can run it at 445/1185, I consider that pretty damn good. lol, I can run it at 450/1200, however after about 20 minutes artifacts start up. I'll have to add it all up again to tell you how much it all cost, without the new monitor prolly around $2500, or less, I got a ton of really nice deals. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmm... I thought the P4C-800 had the 915 Chipset... hmm... oh well, thats still a nice system. I can overclock my GTO to 420/1150 w/o any artifacting but right now I'm happy w/ 375/1000. I also got the extra pipes unlocked so I don't want to push it any farther now. Maybe once I get the NV Silencer 5 I'll be able to go to 450/1200. The reason I don't want to go to so high is because the Ultra's fan is twice the size of a GT fan so it can take the higher clockspeeds. The GTO card uses the stock GT fan so I'm afraid of going too high. I can do 400/1.1 pretty easily but I don't see the need for it now. What core temps is your card reporting? I'm under the impression that the GTO is waaay hotter than it should be. I idle at 55 degress which is quite high if you ask me... btw, as opposed to getting 3 HDDs, why didn't you just get 2 74GB 10k RPM SATAs? That way, you can get 148 GB of fast storage and you could put those in Raid 1 or 0 (depending on what you want, reliability or performance). I know that 2 of these would be 550 CAD so it would be around 450 US... The Windows XP Install time on this HD is something like 6 minutes so a higher price is justifiable.

I could've bought one... I was thinking... FX 5950 Ultra or X-BOX. Thank god I chose the 5950. Now, when my friends come over and want to play w/e game, they can choose max graphics and not lag. I also have 2 repsectable rigs now. :D PS: I bought an FX 5950 and got 5 games with it (Doom3, Farcry, DX:IW, SW:BF, BF 1942) and it has excellent overclockability as I managed to get it operating at 600/1200 I think. It was an exceptionally good deal considering I got the card for $150 US.

Does it really matter if you reach level 30 or 50? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it does! for me at least. I want to reach lv50, for that means more powerful characters, and either shorter time between lvups or longer game, both okay for me! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I read on the X-BOX forum that it was 50. Does it really matter if you reach level 30 or 50? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not if you have a savegame editor

Thats nice I can't OC my CPU or FSB because I have a Dell (grrr....). Asus is the best motherboard, and video card manufacturer in my opinion and they allow tremendous overclocking. That Corsair ram you have there, is it DDR2 or DDR. Also, is your 6800 GT PCI-E or AGP 8x? Not familliar w/ the P4C-800 thats all. Ofcourse, I'd buy a P5AD2 Premium. That one has innate DDR2 600 but I could probably support DDR2 800 aswell once it comes out. PS: How much did you blow on that rig?

Once its 3 or above I'd use DVDs. However, I'd also produce a few CD copies of the game for those who don't have a DVD drive... Most people these days do but heh...

Only in KotOR 2... Don't worry it will be here soon for PC :D

Darth Pirat0r and his large cache of copied CDs!!!!

I really enjoyed the MMOFPS Planetside.

600 Watts?!?! Even an SLI system at max needs only 460 Watts but I'd buy maybe a 480 or 510. Even a Dual XEON SLI wouldn't chew that much power...

Hmm... the prices really vary. I wouldn't spend more than 100 on a case but that's just my opinion. Something like $110 / $135 with PSU. Review for the case. You can buy the case from here. It's $149 but it comes w/ a 480 W PSU. Thats beautiful but too much $$$ for me I'd rather upgrading the RAM or VC but heh...

Nothing wrong in .... "modifying" your character's stats. Just speeding up the time it takes to gain a level. I don't see ANYTHING wrong with that.. do you?

Well... could be. But I guess I still like her canon name better. Oh, we almost forgot about Bandon, the useless human clone of Darth Maul! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wish he would have begged for mercy before you finished him off. I'm really unhappy that I didn't get the pleasure of giving him a painful death...

I agree, we'll have to wait a while but I'm not going to be able to play the game for a while after its release... Hopefully he'll release it soon and maybe the 2 games' source code will be quite similar so making a SGE won't take that much time.

Everybody is suited to different games. I also prefer to play games with a good story. That was HL2's main failing besides the stupid friendly AI which walk right in front of you... I can get a legal CD Key Registration for $5 but w/o any game CDs or manuals. One of my friends had a copy of HL2 so I borrowed the CDs, burned them and I installed the game.

Doom 3 kind of got boring after lights dim, zombies come, zombies die then the cycle repeats itself. Ofcourse its entertaining because you can go trigger happy and shoot everybody. And HL2 is different how? Oh yeah, I forgot. Locations change and you can maul the poor things to death using the grav gun. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Precisely Well.... there's nothing wrong with more possibilities... There are a million possible ways to solve each scenario. Its not so much the story but more the gameplay. The sheer amount of possibilities is just amazing.

True, when i tested my IQ, i got 132 (Am i stupid or smart? ) Only 2 points smarter than Bush? I'd be very worried if I were you, mate. :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, a think tank said that his IQ was 91 here. But here, it says his IQ is in the mid 120s. Thats a big difference. Anyways, when it comes to IQ tests, I think that Mensa has the best and most accurate one.

Ok let me guess all you guys that have this problem have patch 1.3? right? if so then its the patch I have 2 copys of the game on my HD and the unpatched one works fine with the droids peace talk the 1.3 seems bugged <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Really? Thx. I found that I had better performance w/ 1.0, and 1.1 versions on lower end cards anyways...
