I'd say try default drivers, then try the latest drivers and then if need be perhaps slightly older drivers. But sadly....if everything was fine then graphical glitches started happening the card was likely over heating, and when things got worse/permanent the card started to fry and is basically done for. Perhaps if you're lucky it may still just be hot. Can you tell if the fan is running, and is there an abnormally high amount of dust? There is also a possibility of some production fault with seating the chip, or the application of thermal paste. Check your warranty/guarantee and see about sending it in to be repaired/replaced.

That's how Prince of Persia should have played, rather than the slow crawl through molasses they turned it into. Looks fast and fun again.

Happy Meal is ageless: no decay in a year on a shelf
Nolan replied to McPhee's topic in General Chit Chat
This reminds me of when my buddy left a pre-made slad in his closet for a year...it turned into a liquid after about 2 months and he was afraid to get rid of it. -

And yet, I still have the same Mickey D's craving I was unable to satisfy since Tuesday. -
Are you paying Insurance by the year? I have to assume so otherwise those are hugely high amounts for any shorter timespan.

The thing I've heard is that those Facebook posts were fake...so he may not have called it magma. But I really don't know.

It's canon in that at some point such a character exists, but it's not canon in that we don't know any of the details.
-
Pretty close, but not quite the same. I'm glad it's close though.
-
It's my understanding that it should be more Killer Bee, and Killer Bee is easily the best character of the series.
-
It's okay, I'd forgive you.

Now, I don't know the prices of what you're looking at but if they're similar to my region. The ATI 5830 is approximately the same price as a GTX275 with very similar performance, along with DX 11 and lower power consumption. The same can be said about the 5850 vs. the GTX285. Those two are my recommendations. I don't really know much about Video Editing and Rendering, but I believe it's very CPU dependant, with the GPU being secondary but still important. PC games to check out, The Witcher which is one of the best RPGs in recent years. Dawn of War 2 is a fantastic RTS along with Company of Heroes. There are other gmaes that just play better on PC as well.

Intel is supporting both sockets for the foreseeable future. Socket 1366 is the highend market (core i7 i9), and also has Triple Channel RAM/Memory Controllers. Socket 1156 is the low-mainstream market (Core i3, i5, i7) and Dual Channel RAM. The northbridge has also been moved onto the processor. On 1156 only the i7's support hyperthreading. The i3's and i5's (6xx series) Pentiums, and Celerons also have graphics integrated in the CPU. The i7's and i5's (7xx series). Only certain motherboards will support those graphics, but all 1156 motherboards will accept the different CPUs. The IGP is reputedly as good as an ATI/Nvidia IGP, so better than Intels usual stuff. I'd type more, but I'm forced to surrender my bed room to my nephew. I'll have plenty to say on GPUs as well, and the comparing the numbers of the cards isn't the way to go.

I enjoyed the gameplay and to an extent the story(moreso than most people I know) of XII, but most characters fall flat enough and the battles are different from normal that I don't readily recommend it.
-
Or, you could play IV V or VI Tactics or Tactics Advanced 2. VII isn't a bad starting point either....most current fans started with it anyways.
-
I actually liked some of the political drivel of XII. Certainly more entertaining than a soap opera.

I was calling utter bullshit on the claims that a user influenced story will be weaker than a story without such influence. I'm leaving this at that to stop from going in circles as I'm sure we'd end up doing.
-
Right, in your opinion, I'd say that's the taste thing I mentioned. Reading comprehension fail. I'm in agreement that beth's stories are poor but I won't deny the amount of detail in the game worlds history. Somewhat cliched? Yes. Well written stories with excellent character development despite that? Also yes. Not as good as a JRPG story? Opinion. I'm not trying to debate the difference in popularity, you simply said that any game with so much user influence on the story will undoubtedly weaken the plot. That's all well and good, but essentially false.
-
Utter bullshit. Of the western RPGs I can think of off the top of my head, Two Worlds is the only one with a weak plot and ultimately unmemorable experience besides bad, I'll give you Bethesda's games as well for plot, although the story elements are quite vast. When it comes to WRPGs like Fallout (excluding 3 and the non RPGs) Planescape Torment, and Baldurs Gate they're just as memorable as any JRPG can be. I understand taste will factor in somewhere, but it's a fallacy to say a RPG with choice will be weaker in story than one without.
-
Just about everything I've seen/read on the game indicates the story is pretty poor and the real reason to play is the battle system. From watching the battle system, it seems to me that FF has become nothing more than a crappy action game that takes far too long to become "good". Also for lols Last night, I got a xboxlive card at gamestop, and as usual the employee pushes pre-orders. He askes about FFXIII and I promptly tell him it will be terrible, his response Famitsu gave it 39/40 and they're some of the toughest reviewers out there. He said it with a straight face even, there were other customers so I left it that.

Jennifer Hale? She was in all the Prime games I believe, doing the grunts for jumping/landing getting hit etc.
-
I thought the series has historically done better in the PAL regions than in the US? Perhaps offering the demo is their way of trying to expand more in the US while hoping Europes previous fans are still there.
-
Now we need a remake that looks just like that.

FFVI

People would have noticed even faster, his comic has been available for a while now I believe, since sometime in 09 at least. I like Kubo's Tweet though.

loooooool To me a similar character design=whatever, but when they're not only in the same pose, but the images overlay near perfectly... In the second link, one of the comments says something about not really being Nick Simmons comments, but kinda irrelevant.
