Oh sweet racey goodness (desperately wishes he was at home and not work) ! :E

You should have the bass boost option mentioned by Brick, and you could also check the equalizer settings as well, and maybe lower the lower frequencies slightly (which in effect is doing the same as the bass and treble controls you mention)

Exactly, you may be able to build a pc with the same components for a similiar price, but that's still a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a pc, even if you are an enthusiast. Not only that, but you could build a pc with similiar performance with different parts, for a decent amount less...

I'd heard rumours of an 8800GT single slot card, are they really going to release a slightly more powerful version of the GTS with a less sufficient cooling solution ?

Yeah, i know, it was a bit of a pain to have to pull the motherboard out again just to upgrade my graphics card !

Not sure about the first problem, but as for SLI, you only need the one set of drivers for both cards.

Haha, i have the a8n sli premium and i had that very heatsink !! The 8800GTS won't fit in with that configuration, you'd have to cut half of the heatsink away unfortunately. :( I replaced the zalman with one of these...

What chipset are you on Stern ? I only ask because i have an nforce4 sli board, and i replaced the chipset fan and heatsink combo, and soon found that with some larger cards (X1800XT and 8800GTS) that the footprint of the chipset heatsink impeded the graphics card. First i did a little bodging...

This'll be great. PGR3 but a bit prettier, more cars, motorbikes, and much better tracks, no longer all 90 degree turns on city circuits, with added undulations baby !!

It is. Nice unique case, sure. But a ridiculous amount to spend on a pre-built pc, even for a pc enthusiast.

Yup :) Really good read, and good information.

MP3. But at some point i will rip all of my cd's in flac, when i get round to hooking up a decent amp and standmount/bookshelf speakers to my pc. Bit-Tech had a really good article on this a few weeks or so ago: http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/09/12/pc_audio_101/1

I would just like to say, i'm not a fanboy of any particular franchise, or platform, but i will admit that i did enjoy the original Halo very much. 1. I can't see what people are complaining about graphically speaking. I must admit to being a complete whore when it comes to PC graphics, but i...

That is very true. MP wise, you could be picked off by someone a few km away in the crysis environment and you wouldn't have been able to see them.

You're not imagining things mate, it did used to be that way !!

Yeah, i agree, shame about the 1900GT going so quickly. What specs are the rest of your system ? An 8800GTS would indeed do you very nicely. All depends on whether you want to play the waiting game on new hardware or just get on with it and buy something decent now !

I'm not actually sure device manager displays the nvidia driver no, because from what i remember the number in device manager has never matched that of the nvidia control panel. You should be able to check the driver number in the nvidia control panel, or by installing riavtuner, which should...

30 fps is unacceptable on modern hardware in some respects. More so if they were to actually implement a 30 fps cap in the full game. It's just not smooth enough, fine for an RTS, but not for an FPS. However, you could justify the performance on top end hardware with the fact that this game...

My copy is now sitting proudly on my desk ! Unfortunately, i have decided that i shall not be cracking it open until i have replaced my Athlon 64 setup with a Core2Duo setup and Vista. Reasoning being two-fold: 1. This games seems to see a decent benefit from dual-core, the physics are...

Could that have been a more unnecessary statement to make ?
