Jul 13, 2008OathofChaos posted a message on Diablo III - More DetailsDon't forget that the drops are on a person to person basis... like a credit system (or, at least that what I thought).... so it's easier to bypass items that you don't want // need. That'll also fix the problem of people just sitting behind to clean up the scraps.... if you call that a problem.Posted in: News

That looks nice! Might I recommend an integration of the D2 Wiki (and eventually D3 items) into a mouse-over similar to the way WoWHead does it? I know it's not necessarily necessary (pardon the redundantly redundant statement), but it would be a very nifty thing to add, especially with the new layout.

One thing I'd like you to do for me;
Copy and paste your dxdiag information (click on the start button, and type in dxdiag) here.
(Feel free to remove any sensitive information [name, ect] if you want to)
This will help me look at your installed drivers. If you've gotten the card recently, it could be a defective card... but we can check that soon.

Good luck!

The issue is very common. When the Graphics Card attempts to "kick up" when playing games, there isn't enough power to make it work, so your performance is quite horrible because the GPU will only allow for graphic pass-through without actually accelerating the graphics.
I would recommend a Corsair 550-650 watt Power Supply. It's a good company. The power supply is not modular, but it definitely works.
Just a note: 450 is what is requited for the GTX 250, but depending on your power consumption usage on the mobo (AMDs are known for sucking more power than the equivalent Intel chip), plus the gaming aspect... your wattage is exceeding the minimum requirements, I feel.
550-650 watt power supplies will run roughly 90-120 USD. I'm not sure how that translates into Australian currency.
Best of luck. Keep me updated on your progress.

1) Are your graphics running worse than they did before you installed your new graphics card?
2) How big is your power supply (wattage)?
Essentialy, if your graphics are just slightly better than they were before the upgrade, you will probably need to upgrade more than just your graphics card. More RAM perhaps, or maybe a faster CPU.
If your graphics are on par with, or worse than your previous graphics card, try upgrading your power supply. Anything that runs on a PCI // AGP bus uses power (and even more so if it requires another 4pin - 8pin PCIe power leads from the supply). That may be your problem (and the one I'm leaning towards more). I'd recommend something around 550-650. Any more and you're going overkill (Unless you're using a 28x - 4xx GeForce card, or want to Quad SLI, then I'd recommend 1000+ [remind me to show you pictures of my beast at some point]).
If that doesn't help, I have more tricks up my sleeve.

I usually stay sniper though. The fun part is not staying in one place, and moving from point to point without getting spotted, while all the while scoring kill after kill.
Best spread: 28:0 -> Quarry
Too bad I didn't have a nuke
