PC Gaming Doom & Gloom Thread

I admit that PC gaming is going through some rough waters at the moment, and has been for some time. I think the immediate future will be decided by the 'new wave' of dx10 games ? Crysis and the like. If they succeed in revitalising PC gaming, then it'll be business as usual. Downtimes don't...

My new Nokia N95... Better than iPhone ?

The point is ? and nearly every review has made this clear ? while the iPhone does nothing overly new per-se, it's a phone/PDA/device that people actually want to use. Sure, Windows Mobile and Palm may have had all the features, but why do you think they aren't exactly wildly popular? I for one...

Great game companies during the glory days of PC Gaming,

:D Still not completely former, but hell yea. Probably the games I love most: Old Bungie Marathon (all three), Myth I and II (especially II) Ambrosia Escape Velocity (especially Nova) I think an interesting question is who, out of the glory-days devs mentioned, still makes...

My system officially sucks!

If you have a CRT ? or are willing to drop resolutions on your LCD ? that can run more than you think. I have a friend who has a similar setup (same gfx card, 3500+, 1GB RAM) and plays: CoD2 (dx9), Halo, Company of Heroes, F.E.A.R., HL2 + Ep1, etc. It's all about dropping to 800x600 or...

Call of Duty 4 Trailer!!!

And this is why I don't come to Anand for my game advice. Seriously, some people here have warped opinions when it comes to games... perfectly decent (if not downright great) games get rubbished to hell ? and I'm not just meaning CoD2. As far as CoD 4 goes, I'm eagerly awaiting it...

I can afford a E228WFP Dell 22"

Heh, a fair few NZers on the forums (myself included). I'm looking at the Samsung 206BW (20")... I'd appreciate any advice regarding that monitor. I know about the whole A vs S panel thing (applies to the 226BW as well), but as I'll be buying from a friend in the business I'm fairly sure he...

xtknight, my budget has increased enough for me to consider a better monitor... I quite like the idea of widescreen, so I'm looking at 20"+ monitors. I get the impression this is your territory :P. Reviews seem quite positive about the Samsung 206BW...

AA+HDR Not working in oblivion on 8800GTS?

I'm slightly confused ? Do you mean both the "XTreme-G 100.95 drivers" and the 97.92+? And is the procedure the same for XP and Vista?

AA+HDR Not working in oblivion on 8800GTS?

Can someone confirm that AA+HDR with an 8800 definitely does work in Oblivion (with the appropriate drivers)? It's just that I know many people who think it doesn't.

A fellow student! I'm at VUW btw (I'll take my chances with the resident AT stalkers). I've applied for student allowance, but it won't be very much p/w for me. Still... :D Yea, the lack of some really good models is frustrating. Ok, back on topic!

I envy you if you can afford NZ$630 odd. I'm more in the $300-$400NZ range. Our isolation isn't as bad with internal hardware, at least I don't notice too much. But monitors seem really limited :/

Thanks xtknight ? Ah, I was wondering about that, but didn't know if the 740B would have the same issues. Seems more than likely though. Don't worry, I'm not about to rush out and buy anything! Still in the planning stage for my new rig. :)
