Well, I don't know about you, but I've personally been preparing for the impending zombie invasion. One can't spend a lot of time on the interwebs participating in mindless banter when there are far more pressing matters to attend to.

Am I the only one in FITES who is actually still playing BC2?  I play it every day and hardly ever see anyone else online.

I haven't had 'net for a few weeks now. I've been using McDonalds wifi to get online and check email and junk. I definitely can't play BC2 on my netbook. Once I get my living situation more solid, then I'm going to hook up with comcast and start playing again.

I have been trying to get the upstairs ready for the twins to move in.  Lots of painting and cleaning and fixing Oh my!  Hopefully around the end of this month things will die down a bit and Fridays and Saturdays will open up some.  The twins might start making an appearance some weekends too.  Though it will have to be games that are older (cheaper).

I just moved in to my place Saturday and am setting it up. I plan to be online this weekend to play. BC2 is #1 on my list of choice activities.

I stopped playing BC2 when I was forced to downgrade my grfx card. It seriously is not worth playing anymore when low frame rates get me killed 99% of the time.

I'll most likely start up again when I get my system back up to par.

Why were you forced to downgrade?

His ATI card doesn't work with his TV.

Can we start referring to them as the kids, or my boys or something.  ;P  The 'twins' sounds so.....odd.

Now that's just a silly reason to downgrade.

I call my nads The Twins and when they collide together, it's The Clash of The Titans.

Not really. I bought this 32" tv in order to work with 16:9 resolutions and to have a 2nd monitor. I don't really need a better card than what I downgraded to for video work, and for me, that takes top priority over gaming. The ATI card I had has no HDMI ports on it. Apparently, the HDMI<->DVI handshaking problem has been around since '07 with ATI, and they haven't resolved it yet. When you plug it in, you just get a "no signal". The card recognizes there is a device plugged in, but doesn't feel like talking to it.

So using my old 8600GT now. Waiting for the prices to come down a bit on other cards to warrant an upgrade. I'm also selling my 4770 as well. Fantastic card for the price, though.

How much for the card?

Post by: decepticon on May 11, 2010, 09:31:09 AM
Can't you put two cards in and that could solve the problem?  Use one for gaming and the other for the tv?  I actually have a DVI to Component dongle that works with ATI cards.  You can have it if ya want.

You're able to mix ATI and nvidia cards in the same system?

Post by: Czar on May 11, 2010, 09:35:14 AM
Yeah. Just can't sli/crossfire them.

I always thought you could.  Hmm maybe not then now that I think about it....the control panel apps may conflict. But windows should be able to discern between the two.  Try it and report.

Im still playing... I usually hit a few games up with Curse, SpeedRacer, and Llama throughout the week.

I still enjoy playing it.  My first problem is that I have too many games and gaming platforms to try and divide my time between.  The second and bigger problem is that lately I've been rather busy and never seem to be able to find much time to play ANY games.  It's ridiculous, I don't even have a family or kids.  I think I have a time gremlin following me, stealing all my precious time from me.
