Hey, speak for yourself. I'm marrying a hot Pakistani doctor chick.
LOL, looks like you've got it all worked out man :P

Since this is the pc gaming thread, I'll ask here

Is there anyway to increase the resolution of games past what they offer in options.
For example, when I play most wanted I can't get it higher than 1024x768, when I actually want it to run at my native resolution of 1280x800, same for HL2 (I think)
Any ideas??

PS - Do any of you use controllers/gamepads??
Which ones??

hey Ray92 glad to see you here.

about the native res, i see that you game on a 15" laptop, therefore the game only recognize your 15" and not your native res for the laptop. That is what i think, because i never gamed on laptops before.

I've mentioned about the controller in "Our" thread

LOL, yeah I just read it

I was reading this thread for some time and decided to join, more people so more opinions/feedback

You are probably right about it being due to screen size, but most other games do allow me to crank it up to the max res, wonder why these don't??

Also, which controllers guys??? (apart from you GTR35 :P)

4850 outperforms the 8800gt for sure, not too sure how it rates against the gtx260

That's wicked!!!!!
I didn't know it was only a month away

Although it does make me wonder how buggy it will be on release, as it has come out quite fast

Not complaining though :D

salaam to you, and umm better call me bhai aswell, as im 89 LOOL.

yeah shaffaaf is my name :D

boozer... you worry me baby ;) (ill get some EXCLUSIVE pics for you HAHA)

cod5 is based on cod4s infinity ward engine, so i dont think there will be anything bad, and on ign they were showing the multiplayer, seems brilliant.

also jack bower is in it!!!! AMAZING

ill order the collectors edition again, just like i did with COD4.

wonder if the PC will get CO-OP mode?

Game resolution is a game by game thing. If you're thinking of the old starcraft or diablo games than there's no such luck. There are quite a few older games where you can edit the .ini's to open up larger resolutions. The textures won't be any better, but you'll see a larger area.

If -none- of your games are letting you hit your max resolution, than you have problems.

@cincyrob HD4850 pwns both cards. HD4850 hands down, but if you could get the 1GB one it will rock you like theres no tomorrow.

@Ray92 i think its the games supporting problem.

COD5 is looks sick but don't know if it's sicker then COD4, because it's another WWII game...

Fallout 3! is leaked! like boozer said, but hell it's for your bloddy console and not the PC!

Getting BiAHH today woo hoo!

The resolution issue is due to the games not a problem with the screen because I play a number of games at max. resolutions.

Which console (or pc) was Fallout 3 leaked for?????

PS - I ain't calling anyone bhai :P
We are all equal on line (or close enough to that :P)

Lol, if you have a 30" monitor a 1GB will be better, otherwise 512Mb is the best choice!
