    Problems with PC sound and LG 47LM640T

    Hey all, my dad recently got an LG 47LM640T HD 3D TV, he uses his computer through it using the HDMI port but the sound from the PC refuses to work through the TV speakers. Using standalone PC speakers it works perfectly well. I've tried the onboard sound and an X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card...

    WoW or Minecraft

    Minecraft, i'd give WoW a complete miss in my opinion. You're playing SW:TOR which will keep you occupied for a long time, and Guild Wars 2 is out next year for when you get bored of TOR.

    Games to look forward to in 2012?

    Legend of Grimrock. Good old retro gaming similar to Dungeon Master/Eye of the Beholder games, been waiting for this since it was announced! I don't keep a close eye on bigger releases anymore, that path usually leads to disappointment. :(

    Tribes: Ascend - 1 beta key

    Ahoyhoy guys and gals. I've got 1 spare key for Tribes: Ascend closed beta right now. I guess, post "Gimme the key already!" (isn't that how it usually goes?) and i'll pick a random person tomorrow sometime and use Trust to send the key. Thought I may as well give it away rather than it...

    Jurassic Park: Trespasser

    I loved this game, but as the OP said it was kinda rushed out. It was messy in places, especially the manipulation of the environment (picking up and moving stuff etc), but if you could persevere it was worth it. It was one of the first FPS games where you could manipulate items in the game...

    Pre-christmas upgrade advice?

    With it being this time of year I can't spare much for an upgrade, £150 is my budget, £200 max but no more. :( If Intel is outperforming AMD any suggestions for an Intel bundle within my budget? Thanks for all the tips by the way.

    Pre-christmas upgrade advice?

    Hey peeps. I'm doing a little upgrading before christmas, basically all I need to upgrade right now is my CPU, Motherboard and RAM. Price range is between £150 - £200 but preferably less than £200. The sole use for this is gaming, and I'm not looking to overclock. Having the option to upgrade...

    Help a peasant decide!

    Sheesh, been over 2 years since I last posted here. Anyway. I'm using a rather archaic rig right now. AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Socket AM2 (single core) 4gb DDR2 Ram Radeon HD 4850 ASUS Nodusm3 Socket AM2 mobo. I'm basically looking for a quick fix to performance issues until I can afford...

    New HD4850 and a problem!

    Yeah I did that, been playing about 3 hours and i've seen no artifacts or anything, games are working perfectly. So I assume bad memory and get it replaced?

    New HD4850 and a problem!

    In the ATI Overdrive the memory clock is on the lowest setting of 1050. It can't go lower than that. :( Will turning it higher have a worse effect so I know its the problem?

    New HD4850 and a problem!

    Also, could it be a problem with nVidia drivers? Before I installed the new card I uninstalled the nVidia drivers then used Driver Cleaner to clean up what was left. Like I said i'm having no other problems at all in games, no errors or slow downs, just the artifacts, so I don't think its that.

    New HD4850 and a problem!

    This card was apparently overclocked in the factory to 680MHz, I lowered it to the normal 625MHz and still had the same problems. I'll try a little lower. This is my first ATI card, is that 57-62c normal for being under load? Is there anything else I can try? I can take it back tomorrow to get...
