Gaming

Hello Pcuser, I am wanting to buy a gaming computer and they have exactly the same specifications except for one: graphics card. They are "Nvidia Geforce GT440 1Gb DDR3" and "ATI HD6670 2GB GDDR3". Which one would be better? Thanks

On my Windows 8 partition I get much better performance than on my Windows 7 however Windows 8 does not run Minecraft. I get this error log:

Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

I built my current system in March 09 and it is still performing up to my expectations.

Hey guys, firstly just want to say this magazine is the balls :)

I'm currently looking around for a desktop that will be really good for gaming, and doesn't really need to be used for anything else. I basically want a PC that is set-up just for on-line and offline gaming, and I will use a separate computer for all my other needs (email, Google searching and what have you...). Are there any good pre-built PCs you would recommend for under $1000?

No rush guys, and thanks in advance.

Hello, for my year 12 research project I have chosen to build a suitable for gaming. My budget is $1000 and I am looking at processors.
I am looking at the Core i5-2500k or the Phenom 1100T, but I am wondering whether to wait for Ivy Bridge to be released? Does anyone know of further information about Ivy Bridge?

Thanks.

Hi, I am not a gamer but have a built a pretty fast machine so that I can game in the future. (Intel 2600k SSD 8G Ram Windows 7 64 bit etc)
I am using Intel graphics at this stage but have bought Crysis 2 to look at it. It seems to run fine, but my question is, what am I missing without a video card, and what is the minimum I should buy to notice a difference,
Thanks,
Terry

Hi it's me again, I seem to ask a lot of questions....

Anyway,

I FINALLY found a Pod Racer download (full) but the same problem arose: when in the cantina and before and during a race it has a white screen in front of everything! I tried downloading the SWEP1RCR.exe but that did nothing and as for the .dll fix i could not find it. I pondered if it was a Windows 7 64 bit problem but I remember that my old (and recently deceased) PC was running XP SP3 and it had the same problem.

Has anyone a clue???

Thanks in advance!

game fine in first level (train). second level, operation swordbreaker.
video runs fine. the apc door opens you step onto road. you can take several steps, then screen freezes. after about a minute windows says " there is a problem with bf3, windows will now close it down, and inform you when there is a solution ".
All drivers, origin updates ect are up to date.
