Graphics Cards / ATI Radeon HD 5870 - Problem Detecting?

« on: April 24, 2010, 12:11:03 PM »

Just recently bought a ATI Radeon HD 5870 to replace my Radeon HD 5830 (which btw is a great card)

My problem is i'm not sure if the drivers are actually picking up my video card correctly, on my 5830 when i use GPU-Z or ATI CCC it would say  "ATI Radeon HD 5830" but with my 5870 it detects it as "ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series"

What i want to know is if anyone has a 5870 or 5850 does it actually say the correct name or does it say 5800 series?  I believe my drivers were installed correctly and i do get decent frame rates like bad company 2 can max out with all settings and never drops under 60fps.

Console Gaming Archive / Zero Media - Console Repairs

« on: June 27, 2008, 10:25:24 PM »

Well as some of you all know my xbox360 died like 2months ago, and it has been send once before for repairs by microsoft, which cost about $500.00TT in shipping, so the 2nd time it died (1-2months after repairs) i just put it into a corner and left it there to collect dust.

Today my PS3 died at my lil brothers hands, to make a long story short he turned the system on and it freezed up for whatever reason and then he turned it off using the switch at the back of the ps3, after he turn it back on, and powered up the ps3 and he said it blinked a few times on screen and system cut off. now the red led will not even light up so it seems maybe the power supply in it went bad. I have tried switching cables, changing TV's, moving it to different power outlets in the house with a 100% failure rate. i have no idea how to fix or ship my ps3 back to sony, neither do i think i will be able to find my receipt for it, the ps3 is a 80gb version.

I've heard zero media can fix xbox360 and Wii's but no clue if they can fix a PS3, if anyone knows the information will really help, or if they know how i will be able to ship it to sony, even tho its not the solution i would really be looking for.

Thanks in advance for all the help

These videos are based on characters from Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive series, if you liked either series or action videos in general, this might interest you. Keep in mind that the videos are made my a fan *NOT* the developers themself.
The Videos where created by a guy name "Monty Oum". Dead Fantasy is the current project he's been working on, he's also the creator of the highly popular video "Haloid" and creates most of the video himself.

Sony PlayStation / PS3 - NAT2 Setup with TSTT Paradyne ADSL Modem

« on: January 24, 2008, 10:18:50 PM »

Anyone know how to setup the modem correctly? i have issues connecting to online games because my ps3 gets NAT3 from the modem. Sometimes it works fine in COD4, Motor storm and Burnout Demo, and other times it gives Errors and kicks me out of the game. I have seen a bunch of different ways from various websites on how to setup NAT2 but its using a Router from Netgear, Linksys, etc. If anyone resolved this problem can you send me the settings so i could just use the "Restore User Settings" feature and have it configured correctly.

The other thing is i do have a linksys router but it makes no difference yet, if i set that up since even if i connect the paradyne modem straight into the ps3 and run the test it still comes up as NAT3.
