[quote who="yrag" reply="11" id="2437522"] I know everything..... [/quote] Well you definently knew what to do here, the new driver set the fan speed to 14% under load, the card was over heating. Set speed to 70% and fought with the driver over the fan and it seems good. Thanks Everybody and Yrag, I bow to your knowledge... [e digicons]k1[/e]
This is the best tech forum in the world, thanks guys. I'll do that and hopefully it will solve it, but yrag, how do you know 185.85 is the best driver for the 9 series? The differences between drivers is usually pretty small, Except in this case its destabilized my rig entirely...

Hi, I keep geting the Blue screen of Death saying that "nv4_disp.dll" (the display driver I believe) has caused the problem. I recently downloaded and installed the newest Nvidia driver (190. something) and now i have this problem. I Thought it was just a driver problem at first so I re-installed the previous driver, but that didn't do anything. The driver was stable before so now I am out of ideas. It usually happens after 45 min or so of gaming, it hasn't crashed while

Temporary Defense Nation Temporary Defensive Network/Navy The TO just came into existence with the goal of weathering the present crisis and resuming normal life once the aliens and advent leave, so temporary works just as well as trader. The TEC do seem to have some russian leanings in their ship designations though (Dunov, Akkan, Ogrov, Krosov) so who knows... For all we know TDN simply means T he D eveloper N e

The GTX 300 series might support DX11, but Nvidia could not support it and that would kill support for it anyway (like they did with DX 10.1) The 260 and 280 were pretty pricey when they firsdt launched, and the 260 was just ahead of the earlier generations top cards, so i think the GTX 360 will be about on par with a 285 and the GTX 380 will be about 10% faster than a 295, hopefully they will make the cards more power efficient too, GeForce cards a little too much power if you a
[quote who="Mogmoogle" reply="1" id="2388496"]Multi-core GPUs, wouldn't mind a quad-core video card. but good luck having windows, or anything support it for the next 25 years [/quote] GPUs are massively parallel, they have hundreds of processors... Multi GPU cards are already out with the ATI X2 models and the Nvidia 7900 (one of the 7000 cards) the 9800GX2 and the GTX 295 (This was mainly just to put the post on my replies list) A quad-GPU card would kick ass a

The ATI HD 5 series of cards is looking pretty impressive ( http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-5870,2422.html ) I know that Nvidia hasn't released too much info on their new GPU architecture, but i doubt that they will let ATI keep the most powerful single GPU card title for long. So what kind of performance, and at what cost to consumers, do you expect the next generation of cards to bring?

It is more satisfying to come home after a long day of menial work, start up your favorite game and feel... like... a... GOD For an hour, than it is to be thrown around like a ragdoll whenever you are trying to relax. For younger gamers, challenge is acceptable, for older ones, it is often a put-off.
Games were harder "back in the day" because there was much less substance to them, like someone else said, they needed to be hard to last any amount of time (and suck your quarters. Playing through 10 levels of intense challenge is a lot more reasonable than playing through something like Oblivon being challenged at every step. It is an evolution, not a degradation. P.S. That demon's souls game looks great
The race's advantages are economy (TEC), synergy (Advent), and technology (Phase missles, phase nodes,...) The problem is no matter how many ships you throw at a properly microed battleball, the ball comes out on top. HCs and Caps get pushed around be repulse and shredded by illums. In a straight fleet battle, a 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, or even a 1:4 number deficit for the advent means NOTHING. No matter how much you spam, in a straight-up fight, you lose. The advent a
The problem with cases like this is that very few people recognize (or are willing to admit) that racism goes in every direction. It is not a "white person only" disease. There is the KKK and the Black Panthers. Which one have you heard of as being the epitomy of evil? If i beat up a white person, it's an assault. If i beat up a black/arabic/jewish/any other than anglo saxon white person for the same reasons, it is a hate crime. If a member of a minority attacks me then it i

The wings are probably for ammo and fuel, although is begs the question of how large TEC strikecraft must be. They use missles and a
[quote who="Cykur" reply="19" id="2371480"]I've used the nerfed RA several times in long multiplayer games. It is a powerful option that allows Vasari to stay competitive in endgame. Unlike the old RA, you still have to maintain an economy and know how to fight your enemies. The old RA was a crutch for people who often didn't know how to win without it.

Science is logic applied to observation, nothing more, nothing less, it is a tool. This thread is interesting because people are taking what they observe from the game and applying what they know of science to draw a logical conclusion about how those things may exist in the game world.
Alright, thanks guys. Hopefully the rig will look like this pretty soon: q9550 Evga 790i mobo GeForce Gtx 275 4 gb of DDR3 @ 1600mhz (7-7-7-18) 650 watt PSU and a 9800gtx+ for PhysX. The only parts I'm missing are 2gb of RAM, the q9550, and the gtx 275, but xmas presents to yourself are the best...
