The General Chatter Thread.

[somestrangeguy]

I've had much less trouble with W7 than XP. I don't know what you guys are smoking.

Also, DX11.

My opinion too. Some things are still alittle hidden but i will find them when i do need them.

I needed to upgrade because of Just Cause 2.

Ah, Just Cause 2. What an epic game.

Especially on max settings @1680x1050. I love my graphics card sometimes.

an epic game indeed. i have better max settings @ 1920x1080 =P

this makes me wonder, what graphics card do you have? i use a Sapphire Radeon HD5870 VAPOR-X 1GB. great card, but a b*tch to insert in the PC because of its size.

This be true. I use Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 and a 24" screen :)

Tough this game seems sort of too short all of a sudden, I had completed all Agency missions at 26% completion and now with 55hours of gameplay im 69% done already....

Thats why I got myself Just Cause 1 and ima gonna play that 100% too!

[G.K.]

The green blob monster is dissapointed.

[powerrave]

and i thought i was trying to make it not tooooo expensive -_-'

but then why the lower resolution?

 
Resolution is usually determined by your monitor....if you check, the max res of both of those cards is way better than either of you listed.

Precisely. It's all my screen can support. I'm a poor and irish jew pollack.

poor, with a videocard like that!?

1920x1080 is a most common res, but if higher is possible, then why don't they make screens that support it? or maybe there are screens that support higher, but are over-expensive. i just have a simple 22 inch HD screen.

Well, I've been saving up for it for quite a long time. And I've been stuck with an El Cheapo 8500GT in the meantime.

I 'unno, I bought that screen a long time ago, when 1080p screens were apparently still rare. But yeah, I think I'll have to buy myself a new screen.

acer is bad. for screens, Samsung is best.

and the price of that screen to recommend for serge! it made me sh!t bricks!

[Thyrus]

I`m back from Wacken

[ACAMS]

acer is bad. for screens, Samsung is best.

It had the best specs of ANY monitor less than $3,000.00 and is BY FAR the best monitor I have ever had (but it cost several hundred more than any monitor I have ever had)
 
I can't find it now, but will get the specs when I get home next week.

I installed Windows 7 on my laptop (Acer Aspire 2920), and now my webcam doesn't work. I've gotten WMM back up and running, but I'm slightly pissed at losing my webcam.

The cake, is a lie.

"Special table."

Maybe Babelfish isn't exactly the best choice for translation, Paddy

Throw an audio clip in there and it'll be perfect.
