    Neverwinter Nights 2 poor performance

    actually the "electron engine" (a heavly modified version of the Aurora engine ) was never the problem, even the bioware guys will agree with that, the problems come from the publisher 1. pushing the game out early in the first place, 2. forcing securom onto the game making it effectively...

    SLI Hacked on Older Intel Chipsets

    because they both have ego's that if given gravitational pull would be able to suck up blackholes and whole star systems. its childish and stupid, but its how they have done business since the beginning, and its how they will keep doing business till the market forces them to change.

    What are your plans for Windows 7 ?

    Mussles http://shark007.net download the win7 codec pack and go into its config app, you can choose coreavc via that and it will work with all 32bit players, BUT theres a warning, if you have thumbs enabled you need to use ffdshow and go into each folder you have videos in first THEN switch to...

    SLI Hacked on Older Intel Chipsets

    not really, crackers are no worse then hackers, some are good others bad, sometimes "Crackers" save people like me alot of trouble by cracking a game to remove securom allowing the game to work or work properly(decent perf boost from lack of securom on nwn2 for example) when games like NWN2 that...

    SLI Hacked on Older Intel Chipsets

    some guys on mydigitallife are working on a way to use grub to inject an SLI cert into bios like they do with SLIC tables, IF they can ever get it worked out it could force nvidia to do a chipset check or worse every time the drivers are loaded, that could cause some slowdowns for SLI and even...

    Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack Confirmed, Priced

    first, MS isnt going to go after anybody for using a technet download/program/wtfe to do day today tasks, that can be considered testing infact, since you could find a problem when writing an email(or sending it) or find a problem when using office, or a million other things. Honestly MS...

    Neverwinter Nights 2 poor performance

    yes, I know the original atari hasn't excised for many many years, the last owner was "infogramers" who bought the atari name to hide from their HORRIBLE reputation in the computer game market. WotC owns the rights to the dnd universe, BUT they sold the rights to make videogames, this means...

    Neverwinter Nights 2 poor performance

    but atari owned the rights to any electronic content(see games) based on DnD universe and rule set. a bioware rep explained it in great detail when the whole nwn1/2 hu-bub was going on, really a mess, glad atari is dead to bad their logo's still allover and the support for atari games is...

    Neverwinter Nights 2 poor performance

    tips for NWN2 1.use a no-cd crack, securom really has a perf hit on some systems, even when the systems got plenty of power. 2. update directx9 runtimes to latist avalable. 3. update video and audio drivers to latist avalable. 4. try turning some settings down like shadows, the game...

    BFG Tech Announces Limited Edition Self-Contained Liquid Cooled Graphics Cards

    You wont ever see an ATI based card from BFG as long as current management are kept around, they have their heads WAY UP nVidias arse, so much so that they wont even consider doing what XFX did and adding ATI cards to their lineup.
