Unstable BFBC2 FPS
by Guest MAJ.Spartan-S63=US=- 3 replies
- 1.2k views
Here's my rig: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (left at stock frequency) AMD HD 6870 1GB Video Card 8GB DDR3-1600 Asus M4A77T Mobo 1TB HDD Here's my problem: In multiplayer I'll start by getting 70-130 FPS which makes the game extremely smooth, but part ways through a game (and multiple times a game) the frame rate will drop to 20-30 FPS making the game nearly unplayable at those rates. I currently max out all settings, but I keep HSAO off as well as VSync off. And my game is using DirectX 11. I was wondering if any of you guys have a solution to help out with this FPS issue.

I'm wondering what the best way to set up my monitor would be cost and performance wise. My graphics card is a DVI-I connection and my Monitor has a DVI-D connection. Thoughts? I don't have any cables that would work with this, I will be buying everything. I'm also thinking about using my 32 inch HDTV as a monitor, is that a good idea?

Icons for Website
by Guest xSigmaOnex- 5 replies
- 1.7k views
I've noticed that a lot of sites are putting very small icons next to the site name on the tab in the browser. Also, with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9, you can pin specific websites to the bottom bar so there is a shortcut icon to that designated website. I would be happy to attempt to design an icon to fit both of these spots. However, I have no web design/programming experience, but am very familiar with GIMP. If someone could tell me what the size of each of these icons is (in pixels) I would like to make icons. I made one today, but it looks a little shoddy yet. I know I have to save it as both an ico. file and a compressed PNG file. Let me know if this is someth…

Website Issues
by Guest Impulse- 16 replies
- 3.9k views
Hi, my Dad is building a website for work related things and he had a little issue today. He's not very experienced with website building in the first place so he asked me if I could give him a hand with it. Problem is, I'm no genius when it comes to that stuff either so I figured I would ask someone here for help. The problem on the site is, my Dad tried to put an HTML code on to a text box on his website so when he published it, it would come out looking normal. When he published it, the code still looked like a bunch of gibberish. I'm not sure if I'm explaining that correctly but if someone could tell me how to make the code come out looking like it's supposed to, I w…

My Mouse
by Guest xSigmaOnex- 18 replies
- 4.9k views
I'm typing this from a school computer. Last night when I tried to get on my computer, I found that my mouse has stopped working. I tried restarting the computer, and I tried unplugging and then plugging the mouse back in and restarting, and so far it hasn't work. Specifically, the buttons still work, but the cursor will not move. Occasionally, the cursor will disappear and reappear on the other side of the screen. However, this happens randomly and sometimes not even when I am moving the mouse. If any of you have any idea how to fix this let me know. I'm guessing it has to do with the lasers or the sensor or something. Its an OCZ Behemoth. Also, until I fix it or get a n…
