I guess not, my bad. It seems to be just an updated version of the engine used by Pandora Tomorrow, which *I think* is Unreal 2. Sometimes I get an error message which goes something like LoadData<-Unreal::BeginLoop<-Unreal::Tick or similar. That is an Unreal 2 engine error, since I used to get...

@hardboy, please note that we are talking about Chaos Theory here, not Pandora Tomorrow. My rigs does Pandora Tomorrow at 1280x1024 with 45 FPS minimum. Cant check with AA since the game does not support it. How does your rig do Chaos Theory? That is more important here. BTW, my XFX has 1000MHz...

@Blade_Runner, yes that game has an option to switch from SM 3.0 to SM 1.1. I will try that and see if there is any difference in the frame rates. But FarCry 1.3 also uses SM 3.0 and works pretty good, FPS always > 30 even during intensive combat and the super-shader intensive Volcano level...

Just got the Chip April 2005 edition and installed the SC : CT demo. Just for kicks, I turned up all the options to max, resolution to 1280x1024, Shader model to 3.0 and HDR On. When I run the game, Fraps tells me that the frame rate is a niggardly 16 FPS :huh: , sometimes 25 FPS. Switching HDR...

Er, what is Mgs 2?

Well, since nobody has reached that stage yet it is a very difficult thing to say. I am not convinced that they cannot detect whether or not you have unlocked the extra pipes. Simply running Riva Tuner will tell you the story. If you are serious about the 6800LE, then you have to take the...

@Quickfire, hey thanks man. Very uplifting to see my review on the TE portal. @doomgiver, I have the AC'97 driver that came along with my Asus K8N-E Deuxe motherboard driver CD. I tried removing that and re-installed the newer one released by RealTek recently, but I was not able to select the...

I was just checking up on the HDD space occupied by games installed on my system and found that most were between 1.5 to 3 GB in size. I thought I will check on the largest one and found the following: Doom 3 ---------> 1734 MB, 125 files Painkiller --------> 2060 MB, 389 files SC : PT...

Considering the fact that to get any benefit from the 64 bit edition of Far Cry the Windows XP x64 OS is required, not many users will be queueing up for the download. And if there are no great advantages apart from seeing more birds and insects (were there any insects in the original Far Cry...

Ah ha, it worked today. Good stuff.

Hey, why am I getting "Connection was refused when attempting to contact" when I visit that site? Doesn't it like me or what? I don't like this discrimination one bit, I tell you...

Thanks guys for the kudos. @Chaos, where would I lay my hands on a Sennheiser? I tried but I could not source it anywhere. At least not in Bangalore. And most of those are not 5.1, as you have mentioned. As far as "sucky" goes, depends on the person I guess. Coming from stereo headphones to...

This is not really a review. It is more an experience. Anyway, here it is. There are no images in this review, since you can umpteen number of them anywhere on the Web. I have never had any kind of surround speakers. I initially had a pair of Mercury MS-440 speakers that came along with the...

For all you silence freaks out there: Here you go Oh, when will such products be available in India?

If this were the case, it would have already happened many times over. With each release of a new OS from Microsoft, the system requirements to enjoy the full features have always gone up. And the hardware has always kept up with it and exceeded the requirements after at most an year. When...

Man, I am having a good time today surfin'. Is there any limits to what Microsoft will not do to corner the software market? There may come a day when everything is Microsoft and there is no other software company in the world worth mentioning. Source

And look at this: Jeez, man, dual-core CPUs? 2 gigs RAM? 1 TB storage? To run an OS? This is becoming worse and worse. Go here to find out more about whether your rig will handle Longhorn, come 2006. Microsoft Watch

I just transferred 48 mins of video from a Sony HandyCam to my computer using the Microsoft Movie Maker. The file has been saved as a 180MB WMV file and plays perfectly in WMP/WinAmp. I wanted to create a VCD from the movie, so I used Nero's VCD option wherein I specify the WMV file and it...

Guys, the mystery ends now. Take a look at this: Source

"Tweaked"? No, it is an un-tweaked install. What exactly do you mean by tweaking? How does one go about tweaking FX? EDIT: Ah, I just saw your thread on FireTune. Downloading now...
