I had been using the 360 controller for months solely for flying the choppers, then seemingly out of the blue its just stops working in this game. It still works fine in any other game on my computer. I tried reinstalling the game, I tried remapping the buttons but it still wont recognize the controller. Not really sure what to try next. Actually made me stop playing the game since flying the choppers was the only thing i really liked, haven't played in about 4 months hoping a random patch would fix my problem.

evga precision doesn't mess with voltages. Overclocking too high will likely just result in a bsod or display adapter has stopped responding error, just lower the clocks if this happens. Never had any permanent damage just don't go crazy.

I downloaded evga's e-leet tuner to up my new graphics cards voltage a little bit trying for a higher overclock. The only thing i touched on the tuner was the graphics cards voltage. Then a few days later i clean out my cpu's heatsink and run intels burn test and notice insanely high temperatures in the first minute 95C, i shut it down and use cpu-z to see wtf is going on. My v-core was set at 1.57v which i would never do as im not cooling with freaking liquid nitrogen. I reboot and check my bios and i confirm my v-core is at what i put it at which is 1.275v. Boot back into windows check with e-leet and my voltage is back at 1.57v. I uninstalled it and my voltage is back to normal but my once stable overclock of 3.6 is no longer stable. I rarely check cpu temps because i have a corsair h50 which does a pretty decent job but for all i know my cpu has been running at 1.57v for the past few days at really high temperatures without my knowledge. Is this my fault?

idk usually you have to re-install games because they make changes to the registry. If you have your saved game files then just reinstall the game and put your saves back in place.

Just bought a evga 570gtx off of newegg. Im hoping I'll be happy with this card switching from sli 275's. I don't expect to see a huge performance increase but starcraft 2 seems to hate sli and has weird performance drops which dissapear with sli turned off. Planning on selling both my 275's to recoup some of the cost(message me if your interested they are the 1792MB versions).

[QUOTE="markop2003"]Due to 1080p TVs it'll take a long time, the dimensions argument no longer stands so the only reason for 30" monitors to become popular is for higher res. I think it may take an advance in manufacturing techniques or panel technology to cause the price drop rather than a gradual market expansion.Elann2008
I've never played my PC games on my plasma hdtv. Is it simple as connecting an HDMI cable from the back of the graphics card to the plasma hdtv?

Yes its that simple and its what I do with my 46" lcd, the hdmi from your graphics card prolly wont output sound however. But I'm a little outdated on plasma technology, do you still have to worry about burn in?

maybe ebay, but the reason you cant find one is because they were recalled because of an issue with sata ports on the motherboard degrading over time and eventually failing. New boards will be out around june i hear
