hi

on graphics cards du really need 1gb instead of 512mb to play most of the latest games?

cause ive seen another gc!

thx
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
well.. its also reccomended to have a fast card (higher mhz) and of course 1gb is nicer than 512mb!!! - for instance my 640mb card needs more memory for GTA IV , cuz it can run it on high graphics (with a bit of OC) but the game doesnt allow it!! :D
[Off-topic] Rudegar:
gta4 seems to eat cpu much more then gpu

prob because it was ported from xbox360 which

have a 3core cpu but a gpu lower spc'd then most pc video cards

saw a benchmark where a q6600 had 2 times the fps as en e6600 using the

same gpu
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
du no on this card? ati hd 4850. Would i be able to play test drive unlimited?

thx
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
of course : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-4850,1957-13.html

TDU is a great game!!!! I play it also, but unfortunately - here in Latvia I can only get a Russian language version!! so I play a piratic version offline!!! :( :D
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
Is your pirate version a dopeman rip? Cause thats the one i have!

lol

btw what pc u got?

im getting very slow and low frame rate on that as well!
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
Pirated - not a rip!!! :D

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4547986&postcount=21 my pc - specs at the bottom

[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
Du no when i get the card il post some benchmarks on some games

BTW whats with the laptop in your pics?

20 000? were did that come from?
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
ooh!!! my english aint perfect!! :D

I thought that quid meant something like a thousand!! :D :D
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
yea

quid = pounds

grand = thousands of pounds

eg. " Got 3500 Grand"

3500 thousand pounds
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
I knew about the grand!! and I think that I've heard the word quid from some movie or something!!! :D

anyways - so hows with that gpu or did you sold the same pc in which you wanted to put in new gpu?
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
i got this intel celeron 1.8ghz pc and sold it to my mate for 20 quid

[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
check out the new ati 5850 and 5870 (google for them) theyre godlike and eat less electricity than NV GTX 295, but is more powerfull than it (im talking about 5870) :D

Looking into a 9500GT 1GB @ mo to replace the a 8600GT 512MB, not seeing much in the way of speed increase in stats but PhysX and Cuda should help, just building a new system:

AMD Phenom X3 8650

Asus M2N-68-AM AM2

Corsair 4GB DDR2 1066MHz

Will be using HD's and DVD Writer form current.

I don't play high specs games but just doing my 2-3 year upgrade as always do.
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
Can i ask a few questions stylez?

how much money in £'s have you got?

Oh and dont buy that processor

i got a AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz Black Edition for only £97!!

the Phenom "II" is featuring newer and faster technology

but it depends how much your willing to spend

got my asrock n68-s am3 board for £29

and memory 2GB for £17
[Off-topic] stylez:
The ammount the system will cost is £136 inc Delivery.

CPU

MOBO

Case

1GB RAM

I'm very much stuck @ that price to be able to build system have tryed many combo's on many sites and still for price cannot beat as need a new case due to taking up space orders from the gf..

The 4GB RAM & GPU will come from sale of old system.

Like i said i'm not a gamer and for price will be way faster than my X2 3800 2GB DDR2 800ocz 8600GT.
[Off-topic] obaz:
stylez

lol I have pretty same spec.

but I do not understand the meaning of 1066MHz ram, i use 800MHz.

whith this hardware and nv9600gt I has lag`s only in one game - in crisis. (gta needs some overclocking too).
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
1066mhz ram is faster than 800mhz ram!!! but I also use 4gb of 800mhz ram although my mobo supports 1600mhz ram!!! so it doesnt make such a big difference- only if youre a hardcore gamer or multimedia user - it may improve loading times!! :)
[Off-topic] obaz:
and I disappointed about render quality of my 9600gt. ati looks nicer.

cuda for now almost useless, PhysX too. Its very hard to see the difference on the same game running with or without PhysX.
[Off-topic] obaz:
lol, the speed is almost the same. only one meaning - overclocking.
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
Physx doesn't do anything better to your graphics!! it just renders some physics (like brick falling or cloth.. or something like that)

anyways im currently almost completely happy with my 8800gts 640mb -- almost because - currently on NFS shift the card has some problems when you make donuts with the car - the card cant render all the smoke so it starts to lag(everything on max even the resolution (1680x1050), but otherwise, except the smoke thingy the game runs smooth!! :D
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
:D i think that my ram is a bit underclocked -- because if I underclock it I can get cpu higher -which is currently at 3.5ghz (the max i have been getting out of it is 3.8ghz- but i think i can go even higher) :D
[Off-topic] obaz:
you need to reed more attentive. I was sayng:

1). nvidia render frame less accurate.

2). all this "brick falling or cloth" very hard to see at all. difference between Physx turned on\off and game experience not noticeable. and when Physx is enabled fps always lower cause it takes some gpu resources.

my card almost the same (but less speedy), but I do not play NFS shift for the present. but year ago when I was doing upgrade, I was playing Mass Effect on ati2600xt - and I clearly can tell that this game (it uses unreal 3 engine) render on 9600gt disgustingly contrast to ati. yes, on the same high detail level in game and driver settings.
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
my english aint perfect and i sometimes think differently!! :d

anyways about the render thing! it may also be because of the drivers !! cuz some while back when i was playing "elder scrols III morrowind" the water on my PC was as always(then it was the latest drivers from nvidia), but on my friends pc who has an Nvidia 7series card - the ater surface was like a mirror(old drivers from nvidia), and everytime when he looked at it the game started to lag!! weird isnt it? :D
[Off-topic] obaz:
lol, my too :D

belive me - it is all becose of nvidia. i`ve tryed the latest drivers\patch's. and yes - old games on nvidia looks more horrible then they are. try, for example, gotica 2.
[Off-topic] stylez:
Main reason for 1066MHz is that the MOBO supports it and also the price being no difference between 800MHz & 1066MHz with the same timeings, anything to help performance without a step in price and i'm in :)

You changed your avatar :D
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
I have attached a screen shot. Can you take a look and tell me what the NB Freq and DRAM Freq mean?
[Off-topic] obaz:
it`s acceptable reason

No U !!!! :D
[Off-topic] obaz:
young luke use google...

NB Freq is north bridge or motherboard.

DRAM is Dynamic Random Access Memory, or simply RAM
[Off-topic] stylez:
Ah must have been the time of month :D

Just to point out another tool GPU-Z much more info than CPU-Z with regards GPU :)
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
so the dram is the speed at which the ram is running

And is my speed a good speed?
[Off-topic] obaz:
good speed for what?
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
good speed for the computer and graphics?
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
Is my memory too slow?
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
No !!! in the picture you posted - it is even faster than mine!!! :D

f**k the memory get the new gpu and then see your framerates climb up!!! :) :D
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
no way lol

thats just cheap samsung ram!! 2gb for £17

cant wait till cristmas

wat u getin?
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
on christmas?? deem!! I don't know!! :D its to far away!!! But my birthday is on 11th october :cool: :D

I dont know what will I get,, but Im saving up some money for a Yamaha WR125X (or R) its only about 4000$ to go :eek:

I hope that all my family will give me about 300$ for my birthday! :D
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
well happy birthday for then cause il probably forget!
[Off-topic] Rudegar:
the new hd5850 look like a perfect xmas present for myself
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
woow! you must be minted!
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
Thanks!! :)

well the card costs about 250$ (if I remember correctly, about what I read)

its a good price cause back in 2007 (or maybe was it 2006) my whole pc build costed me about 1500-1600$ and the GPU of it costed about 500-600$!!! But of course all the prices are here in Latvia where everything is overpriced!! - I remember a few years back when PSP costed 199$ in sony's website (or psp website) but here in Latvia it costed 199Ls (its about 400$)!! that how the Latvian economy got Latvia in economic crisis(maybe) :D

Just ordered system went for AM3 X3 720BE, still confused on GPU "not confused" just that most cards are still DDR2 & not DDR3 yet my 8600GT that's about 1.5 years old is DDR3... Still looking @ 9500GT but thinking that i'll drop the 1GB DDR2 for a 512MB DDR3 as faster cards...

Now just to wait til Monday to start building :(
[Off-topic] obaz:
my suggest - faster memory. anyway 9500 not"profesional" gaming card, so no need of 1 gb ram. I use my 512mb 9600gt for year, and only crisis (and buggy stalker) lacs speed.
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
I agree on that fater memory thingy!!! - basically the size of memory doesnt count for most games(the memory size on low end cards is for people who think bigger size = more power) :D bassically when buying a Nvidia card look for higher Mhz (card speed)!!! Ati cards - just wait for the new 5xxx series to be avaiable!!! :D

BTW stalker runs better on ATI cards (much higher fps) & theres a new stalker version coming out sometimes this year!! (Ive seen a buggy version in russian language floating around in the net) ! :D
[Off-topic] stylez:
That's the way going to go & know not a pro card but will do me till i get more tweaked ;)

Its very good!!
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
I saw it!! but I am not currently writting from my PC, so I cant compare it to mine or provides ome info about them!! :) To overclock those clocks try Nvidia control panel(you need the Nvidia control panel and some other software for it found on Nvidia.com) and in there you can overclock those timings!

Im writting from a very old P4 1.8ghz machine with 384MB of ram (from 3 ram sticks) :D
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
If your looking for gpu overclocking software search youtube for it cause i found some in a video. Its supposed to be used at the MSI Master Overclocking Arena

[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
there are all kinds of GPU OCing tools - I use the one that came with my card - Asus SmartDoctor - I've heard that EVGA has some good OC tool and of course rivatuner! :)

Would advise a graphics card with a fan, silent pipe designs are fine for media centre PC's but due to the heat of components in desktops under load there not adaquate.

Oh and the 720BE is niceeee :D Just now to wait on 4GB RAM here wednesday, then will get a phatter GPU when the time comes ;)
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
It overheated because of the fanless design and because its not a gaming card!!! Its meant for media centers or work PCs (photoshop & stuff like that) :D

I was told you can only get one sim unlock per account per year. I want to hold out on that unlock for another phone maybe TP2. Is there going to be a sim unlock some time. I mean people sell the service so there has to be a program out there that does it. Where is this software?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] drewcam888:
anyone got any info.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] drewcam888:
Anyone know anything
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] HTC-OH_SNAP:
Not sure where you heard that... I got my first ozone unlocked. Then got my hands on a used tour that I wanted to try out and got that one unlocked. Then switched back to my Ozone which took a dump and had to be replaced under warranty. Just got that one unlocked yesterday morning. So, I guess I have had three sim unlocks on my account within the last 45-60 days.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] harpern78:
VZW Unlock

As a rep that handles unlock requests, let me clarify:

for a SIM unlock, you(r):

must have an account for at least 90 days

account must be in good standing w/ no collections/past due balances for 6 mo

phone was purchased from vzw or an auth dealer

are allowed 1 sim unlock per calendar year regardless of the number of lines

agree that if you unlock and use a diff carrier sim youre on your own

if you've been allowed to circumvent any of these requirements consider yourself lucky. we diligent reps dont make these types of errors
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] drewcam888:
What happens if you get a replacement under warranty. Can you get the new phone unlocked?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Black_V!per:
If harpern78 is right (It sounds like it is, thats how it is on Sprint Network with Samsung ACE)

Your account is dependent of the phone, if you have your phone for 1 day and your accound for 1 year your good to go as long as the other conditions are ok.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] drewcam888:
Anyone have an answer to my latest question.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] HTC-OH_SNAP:
Hmmm... it was answered 2 posts before you even asked it... I'm like Nostradamus... :-)

[Touch HD General] Dillops:
Hello,

I've been pulling my hair out over this for days now, any help would be most appreciated.

I have a UK Touch HD, formerly on O2, but unlocked using Blackstone Unlocker.

I'm in the US and have a prepaid AT&T gophone Sim and it just isn't being recognised by my phone at all, it's driving me mad.:mad:

I've tried a friends US T-mobile sim and it seems to work OK.

Any ideas? Before I have to throw the whole lot out the window.

Ta

D
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
it could be because it's a GoPhone SIM. did you purchase with a GoPhone? if so, does it work with it's used in the GoPhone? if yes, i suspect that's your issue.
[Touch HD General] zanyzany:
does the gophone have internet or 3g? my old att card does not seem to work at all with the touch so i had to get a new one
[Touch HD General] Dillops:
Hi,

Yeah it was a Go Phone sim. The crappy phone it came with doesn't do data but I assumed the sim would be data capable. I can by data bolt ons for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ubernick:
FYI:

An Orange repairs customer service agent I spoke to today confirmed to me they are aware that the Hero has issues whereby:

Some SMS texts are not received by the device

The phone cannot make or receive calls at times even when the network is showing full bar coverage, including on a HSPA connection, requiring the device to be restarted to work again.

He confirmed that Orange were aware that the software was rushed to market, and that there is no fix at this time.

He is replacing my handset "for the hell of it".

Upon raising the issue of termination of contract, he claims that Orange is in no way responsible for the handset or software, and that I should speak to HTC for a resolution.

I disagree with this if they were aware of these issues and the handset was rushed to market, as they surly have a responsibility to fully test the device on their network beforehand? Anyway, I will be in touch with Ofcom for advise.

Have you had a similar issue and response from Orange?

Anyone have any advise with regards to Ofcom?

When I ordered the handset - via telephone sales - I was told it was a 12 month contact, and have now been told I've been signed-up for an 18 month contract - so I've got a couple of bones to pick with Orange and are so far unimpressed by the network.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] LeeDroid:
LMAO! :eek:

There are no known issues with the HTC Hero, This would not be an exclusive issue to "orange devices" it would be an issue with all devices, HTC supply the handsets to our networks with the "Branded roms" pre flashed.

When taking the contract you would either...

Sign an agreement in store and be given a copy stating your contract term.

or

If signing up via Telesales, verbally agree contract and recieve confirmation of the contractual term with the handset (usually on the delivery note).

The cost of the handset to you and the price of the package would be relevant to the contract term, the 12 month plans certainly dont appeal to me!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ubernick:
Try again..

There are known issues with the Hero, I just listed two of them, which were confirmed today when I spoke to Orange. I did not say they were exclusive to Orange.

These issues have been raised in various threads.

This, however, is the first time (that I know of) it has been confirmed by a network, in this case Orange UK.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ubernick:
P.S...

Speak to "straight talking" Alex on extension 60716 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phel21:
Another issue to add to your list is HTC-mail's inability to display signed messages. Sysadmins and others who frequently receive important signed messages about software updates and other issues will be unable to read those without installing a 3rd-party email application (for example K-9 mail). HTC-mail only displays the message "this message is still on the server" in the body pane, although the actual body of a signed message is in plain text.

This problem is acknowledged by HTC, and their support reps don't know if it ever will be solved. It is not fixed in MoDaCo's custom rom v. 2.2, nor in the recent Hero update from HTC (same build). European support claim to have escalated to HQ though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] LeeDroid:
I wouldnt personally hang on those words (this is one CSR's Opinion) its more of a snagging list.

The call issue is a result of lag usually caused by too many apps running in the background. (should be sorted with the new update)

Never heard of the SMS issue but I will have a word with my friend in tech and see if there has been anything raised :p

... if all roms and all HTC handsets were perfect XDA wouldnt get half the traffic it does.. and as many have stated "It is the least buggy HTC device I have ever had" :eek:
