All my RMA's were self inflicted :
to much overclocking, pushing them to hard for to long (f@h mostly) and they start to die

Media & Art / [Movie Review] Daybreakers
« on: Tuesday, May 18, 2010, 05:38:19 AM »
Cast/Crew:
Directors:
Michael Spierig
Peter Spierig
Writers:
Michael Spierig
Peter Spierig
Actors:
Ethan Hawke(Lead Male)
Sam Neill
Willem Dafoe
Claudia Karvan
See full cast list here
Daybreakers is yet another take on the vampire film. There have been so many its hard to be original with this particular type of movie.
Daybreakers takes place in 2019, 10 years after a virus jumps from bats to humans. Making most every human a vampire. Vampires continue on living as humans had. Simply put humans are the vast minority and vampires live the same as they did when they where human.
But here's the problem, the human populace has been hunted almost to extinction. The vampires are desperate to get a blood substitute before the human's are all gone. Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) is a researcher at the biggest blood supplier around, searching for a blood substitute. And failing. Without blood the vampires turn into bat like creatures.
Daybreakers is a nice take on the vampire film, a plague that turns people into vampires. The acting was alright Hawke gave a good performance as did Dafoe. All in all above average. The special effects were really well done, you can't tell they are CGI for the most part. As a nice departure from most horror films, there is a fair amount of character development for Hawkes character. Don't get me wrong there is plenty of action but its not the main focus. This movie is gory, I would advise 15+.
Not a movie I would watch again but worth watching the one time. 6/10.

Hardware/Software / Re: Might be buying a new processor
« on: Monday, May 17, 2010, 20:18:06 PM »Hmmm, I'm not sure what to think about that. The GTX is the older chip but it has more RAM. Glad it was successful and it's nice to see EVGA goes the equivalent or better route.
Yeah. The real pain is that I had to go out and buy another SATA cable because the GTX is about an inch thicker than the GTS and my old cable didn't reach. $10 for a fucking cable. I feel ripped off.
I played BC2 and it actually seemed to run better than on my old card.
Wish you would have posted before you bought it, I would have sent you one for shipping cost
Note on EVGA's RMA. Its amazing. Ive RMA'd 3 cards to them (all my fault) and gotten the the same model as I sent back in 2 weeks. I will only buy EVGA graphics cards for this reason. Guess I'm a bit of a fan boy with them

That you only see 30fps is bs, I can tell 30fps from 60 and 60 from 120. And the only game's I don't run Vsync are shooters like cod4 where some jumps/climbs you can only do with certain fps.

« on: Sunday, May 16, 2010, 10:28:37 AM »could someone, (either here or in a new topic) explain to me in idiots terms what the graphic options i can change in games are, v-sync, preload player skins etc etc etc and explain to me the benefits and the bad parts... cos i have no idea, course i know what some is, anti ailsing makes curves more curvey, uhh, draw distance makes it draw stuff further away
or shall i continue to dwell in ignorance?
I thought Aussies were so smart? Now you are asking for an American's help? Imagine that.
Anyways, Vsync just syncs the frame to make smoother gameplay Less shearing and tearing. Dynamic lighting makes light look more realistic. Decals enables weapon scaring. If you hover your mouse over it it sometimes gives you a brief explanation of what it is. I have no idea what projectors are though. :-\
V-Sync, if I'm not mistaken hard sync's your FPS with your monitors refresh rate. Most LCD monitors are either 59hz or 60hz so most people cap at 59 or 60 fps. My Vizio monitor is really a TV so its refresh rate is 30 hence why I don't use V-Sync. Now if you are on an old CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) monitor you could have refresh rates any where from 59 to 250. So V-sync on a CRT could be really awesome if you have a great computer or really crappy if you don't.

The Lounge / Valve bringing Source to Linux!
« on: Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 20:08:16 PM »Quote
Found already within the Steam store are Linux-native games like Unreal Tournament 2004, World of Goo, and titles from id Software such as Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Doom 3. Now that the Source Engine is officially supported on Linux, some Source-based games will be coming over too. Will we finally see Unreal Tournament 3 surface on Linux too? Only time will tell, but it is something we speculated back in 2008. Postal III is also being released this year atop the Source Engine and it will be offering up a native client. We have confirmed that Valve's latest and popular titles like Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, and Team Fortress 2 are among the first of the Steam Linux titles, similar to the Mac OS X support. The released Linux client should be available by the end of summer.
