I guess it could, but that kinda depends on which drivers the game is complaining about.
Might be worth updating at least the graphics drivers if nothing else just to see if that helps. If you use an Nvidia card, I know they've released drivers to help optimize BF3 performance.
I think I use Nvidia. Now excuse me, I'm surfing the web for something I want for my birthday:D

Haha sounds good. I need to reboot my computer anyway, since my CPU load is varying anywhere from 3%-80% and I'm not even doing anything. And the process that is using all this isn't even showing up in the task manager as using that amount from the CPU. At most there's like 3-4 processes using 1%-3% of my CPU power each. Which is very far from the top 80% load or so that task manager displays in the lower left corner as being used. -.-
Okay! In the meantime check out these awesome headphones: http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=917

Uh oh.... I might be having catastrophic hardware failure. o.O
At least my computer keeps shutting down on its down and rebooting. It's like someone is pressing the reset button, without actually pressing the button. The screen just goes black and I'm back to POST screen and computer booting up/loading OS. :O
Well at least if I dissappear for a few days you know why. My computer broke down, and I'm going to be ROALLY PISSED OFF! because I can't afford replacing the most expensive parts atm. And what's worse this is happening during the time leading up to D3 release! **** MY LIFE! =(
Edit: Might be overracting, as all of this happened after the recent install of BF3, punkbuster and microsoft updates, as well as updating of a couple drivers, installation of directx 11 and whatnot. But still... FML. Time to drink some more and look at the event viwer for clues. Wish me luck.
@SK: If you need to get hold of me, check steam to see if I'm online. And if I'm not... well pray to the computer guards that all of this is just some random glitches, please do that.

Lol, old school!
I didn't even know they made USB headphones, Korial.
I like old school! Or else it wouldn't fit the rest of my music system!
yeah, I kinda figured as much.
You're kinda good at all this figuring.
what can I say? I've always liked math.

Actually this one is pretty kickass! And the best part is the 7.1 surround is decent, and since it's USB you don't need a special sound card to make it work properly. So no extra expenses.
The downside is you don't have specific sound card drivers, but instead rely on software for all the functions to work properly. Although I just updated the software, and I noticed something cool. The new software intergrates my headphone and keyboard into the same software. Kinda neat as it means my task bar thingy (lower right corner of the screen) has less icons in it. :D Downside is I need to learn the new UI.
Anyways the computer seems stable (for now). Just need to go over event viwer. Yues I'm slow, but with a skype and a steam conversation going, can you blame me?
I got caught up in the steam convo mostly, since I got some tips as to possible hardware being faulty. One of those being the SSD, as some brands/models basically have an expiration date based on how long it's been used/how much data have been stored/overwritten. And once that point has been reached, you can basically kiss good bye to that SSD as the "damage" is irreparable.
Anyway now I need to configure all my sound settings again. -.-

Everything is relative.
It depends on what you plan on using them for.
Logitech G35 (the one I'm using) is pretty good, has good sound quality (although I've got tinitus, so my sense of sound isn't the best), and the headset blocks out a lot of outside noise as well. I'm happy with it, but I've seen a lot of people complain about the build quality, and that they break within about a year of normal use.
I just like to thinkt hose people are rough with their headset and that this one will last me a couple years at least.
I'm actually looking for a headset for my computer. Any recommendations?
Not really. I'm not very good with sound. I could ask a friend, but he's mostly into speaker systems, so not sure how familiar he is with headphones.
But a headphone that costs around 1200 NOK/160 EUR/210 USD have for the most part pretty good quality. If you want some really awesome onces then increase the price by about two thirds of the one listed above. General rule of thumb in terms for pricing.
Not sure if Bose produce any headphones, but I've listened to some of the speaker systems for PC, and the sound quality of those are amazing. But the price also matches that quality. IE they're expensive.
Nah, I just need something with a Okish sound and a prober microphone. :)

@Kori: you said the advantage of a USB headset is taht you don't need a sound card .... I've never bought a sound card for my PC and just used onboard sound.
Yea, I just want one for gaming and maybe Skype as well. I'll check some out soon
Are you talking about wireless headsets or just USB headsets in general?
The people talking about USB headsets.
Personally I will just grab a cheap set of headphones.
By headphones do you mean a headset in this case?
I'm asking because, if you buy a cheap headset, would the microphone for the most part still be ok?
Yea, headphones won't do!
Sorry I meant cheap headset and I don't really know ...
I don't really know ...
Sig material right there.
We already knew that he didn't know.
But we still need to get the message out to the peoples!
I am sorry that I don't know everything SK. I will try harder in the future.

He already made a pretty good WoT about it!
And he's making another one now:D
I think SK wants a WoT with recommendations for cheap headsets.
Hey, Kori offered mé a WoT. I gladly accepted.
It's just so i have something to wish for my birthday.
Unfortunately it wont be as good as the Leo WoTs.
But it will be much more relevant.
But with less bewb.
Don't underestimate the power of the bewb.

Thanks!
You're like the birthday guru on these forums! :D
Speaking of birthdays, I hope you had a really nice one. You definately desserve it! =)
@Kori: you said the advantage of a USB headset is taht you don't need a sound card .... I've never bought a sound card for my PC and just used onboard sound.
I should've worded myself better.
The advantage is if you want 7.1 surround, you won't need a new sound card if your on-board one only supports 5.1 Which isn't that big a problem anymore as most newer mother boards comes with 7.1 surround sound support as well as the option of using digital sound (optical/S/PDIF) as well. Especially if that motherboard is aimed towards gaming, or just a high end motherboard in general.
However when I went form using the on-board sound card of the Asus P5Q3 (IIRC) motherboard to having an external sound card, in this case creative sb x-fi platinum, the sound quality was noticably better. It also gave me the option of using S/PDIF, alongside the standard RCA jacks which is located in the 5.25" I/O box that's being used to gain 5.1 surround for my xbox using the Logitech 5.1 surround speakers.
In other words if you need any special input/output options, an external sound card might be the way to go, in which case you don't need to bother with what kind of headset you buy. However if you do not require any special I/O interfaces, then a USB headphone might be a good choice. Of course everything depends on what motherboard you have and what that supports.
I guess it's true what they say... everything is relative.
Yea, I just want one for gaming and maybe Skype as well. I'll check some out soon
You need a headset as well?
Ok same price range as SK then, aproximately 80$ or so. Let me know if that is too much. Also you guys didn't mention (and I forgot to ask), is it important with good sound isolation? IE you can't easily hear noise/sound from the room around you? Ok on to the headsets I looked at!
The SteelSeries Siberia v2 is apparently a very good headset with a good microphone. Recieved good reviews, works well for gaming and skype, and is comfortable to wear even for long gaming sessions. I've not personally tried a whole lot of headsets, but I've had an ex co-worker of mine say good things about the SteelSeries Siberia headsets. Downside is the sound isolation isn't the best IIRC. But like I said an earlier co-worker of mine gave this one really good praise, as well as another friend. Basically to quote him "if it's the same\no need for closed headphones Steelseries Siberia v2 ftw". So if you want to hear what people around you say, this is supposedly a very good headset for an afforsable price, with a good microphone to boot! Also since the range is 10-28000 Hz makes it good for listening to music. The bass is the Siberias weakest point though, as it can sometimes sound kinda muddy. Got a link that sums up this headset pretty well. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/40914-steelseries-siberia-v2-full-size-headset-review-6.html
Another one that has recieved good reviews is the Corsair Vengeance 1500. Again same "problems" as Siberia in that the sound isolation isn't the best. So you can easily hear (from what I've read) noise from other places in the room. But the sound quality (described as being clear and crisp without too much bass), as well as the mic quality is pretty good. Downside is some people have complained about poor build quality and that it breaks pretty fast. This could just be a production error or a bad batch of headphones that have reached the market. Compared to the Siberia v2 though this one has a range of 20-20000 Hz, which is apparently quite a noticable difference. Although again everything is relative, so depends on motherboard on-board sound card/external sound card and how sensitive to sound you are. But a wider range is better.
Also I have to promote my own headset, the Logitech G35. The surround sound is decent, the USB connection is a nice addition, although you need a specific software to benefit from the surround sound options. The programmable buttons as well as volume adjustment on the side of the headset is a nice thing. I've used it a bit to switch between songs without having to manually click on the music player and switch the song there. It also has nice sound isolation, epevially compared to the other 2 mentioned above if reviews are anything to go by. Downside is people complain a bit about too strong bass, but for me that is not an issue. Especially since I listen to a lot of rock, and the sound quality for that is pretty damn good. Also I've had 3 real life friends complain about build quality, saying the headset breaks within about a year of normal-heavy use. However so far during the 5-6 months I've had this the build quality has not seemed bad at all. Overall I'm very pleased with this one, and I've seen it on sale several times on Norwegian online stores, and they stock runs out pretty quick! =P The sound range is 20-20000 Hz on this one, so if you're very sensitive to sound and don't mind a headset without proper sound isolation, Siberia v2 might be better. However if you can't find this one on sale, it would fall in the price range of 150-160$ or so.
But after talking with a friend, you won't notice any difference between 10-20000 Hz and 20-20000 Hz unless you're a true audiophile. The 10/20-20000 Hz to 10/20-28000 Hz is a different matter, but again unless you are sensitive to sound quality might not be that big a difference.
Although it's difficult to get away from the fact that for the most part, a headset in the ~150-200$ price range will have better quality compared to ~80$. For the most part. >_> But if you can increase the price range to around 130-150$ you can get a pretty superb headset without taking the jump to professional range headphones (and price range of 200-300$).
And there it is, the wot :p
I was thinking more like 20$ xD
Do you play all the audio through them or just the Skype/vent/whatever?
Here is another review that has the Corsair Vengence in it.

And there it is indeed. =)
20$ range? Be prepared for your ears to bleed!
Honestly I would never get a headset for gaming and skype in that price range. Especially if you do some research and treat your headset nicely, it can easily last for 3-5 years. Then again I use my headset on nearly a daily basis, so spending a bit extra cash on it to get proper quality is a small choice for me. =)
Do I play all my audio through it? No I don't. But that is only because I sometimes prefer not to use a headset, or if I'm cooking/doing other non-computer related stuff, I got music or a Starcraft 2 commentated match (courtesy of Day[9] or HuskyStarcraft) playing in the background on my speakers. Also since I don't have a proper TV, my Xbox is connected to my PC monitor, and to get good sound I need to reroute the sound from my xbox through my PC speakers using RCA jacks, hence the Creative X-Fi platinum sound card.
But for any sort of skype usage, and especially gaming while on skype I use my headsets. Also during the evening I use only my headset, for games, music and video. And I have to say I've fallen in love with this headset.
With that said it's kinda difficult to explain my sound setup. When I use my speakers, which I need to manually set the priority of which sound system is being used, I can also switch between gaming mode and entertainment mode. Obviously gaming is for... well gaming and entertainment is for music and movies/general audio stuff. When I switch to headset I use only the headset, and exclusively use the 7.1 emulated surround sound option enabled. At first this setting can sound really strange, but now that I'm used to it, I find it difficult to turn it off.
Add to this some weird stuff happening when using the xbox and I fiddle around with sound priority a bit every day. For instance sometimes I set speaker to primary sound device when on the xbox, which lets me hear when people type to me on steam and on skype (if my status is set to online). However if I only want to hear the xbox sounds I might leave my headset as primary device, but still get sound through my speakers for the xbox. This way I won't hear any sounds from the PC when someone messages me, while still getting the same audio quality for my xbox.

@Kegs: Apparently in the 20$ price range you can basically get whatever you find that looks comfortable. Try and get one with the best range of sound those (as low and high range of Hz as possible), just take the listed range with a grain or 5 of salt in that price range.
That makes sense, doesn't seem that weird to me.
I'll look into some, but I don't see myself spending that much.

Go get a quality pair of cans, like Senheiser (spelling?) or the like and just buy a clip on mic and attach it. Cheaper and far superior sound quality.

You might be right on that end about gaming headsets. But honestly, will a regular person who's not really picky about sound quality notice any difference?
And it doesn't have to be a gaming headset I guess. I'd be really interested in looking at a few models (if you have some examples). I've heard of Senheiser (Sennheiser?) before, but not really looked into it. Gaming headsets as you call it has been more than enough for my simple audio taste. =D
That's some pathetic excuses for drunk posts!

Any specific recommendations for a budget pair?
Both the Logitech G35 and the Corsair Vengence looks pretty decent.
I like the look on the last one the most. It's going to make it to the wishlist!
I looked at a bunch this morning, there are some decent ones from $30-$40 it looks like, I'll likely go for something in that area.
A link to any particular?
Maybe later, I'm not at my comp anymore.
I have a pair of these (http://www.creative.com/soundblaster/tactic3d/sigma/) that I like a lot.
Things I like: Removable mic, comfortable, great sound, it also has a mini-usb soundcard that you can plug the headsets 3.5mm jacks to and connect via USB. This can be used with other headphones too.
Those look pretty nice, I've seen those usb adapters sold separately too. Not too bad at $40 on amazon
I like that I could also use them on other devices that don't have a usb plug.
I'm mostly looking for a headset with a good microphone. I got my office right next to our bedroom, so I can't be talking all that loudly late in the evening.
The downside to microphones like the one on that one is that I think they will pick up more of the ambient sound in the area and not just your voice.
On which one?
I'm not too worried about ambient sounds. I mostly play at in the evening/night, Where everything is quiet.
The one that he just linked. I'm not really worried about it either, I play away from people most of the time and don't have much other noise going on.
You played in a basement?
Yea, my computer is in the basement.
Do you have a mini bar and a large TV in the basement too?
I used to have a mini bar but it never had any alcohol in it. the biggest tv in the basement is my computer monitor actually.
A large tv and a comfy couch would be sweet:P
I have that upstairs, I don't need it downstairs as well :p
Of course you do. You need to make it a man cave!

@ SK: It was clear to me as he was talking about F keys (plural) I.E F1 etc.
I knew somebody would get confused :p
also the alt key is pretty written out, and no I don't remap most of the keys.
Instead of the F keys I used the mouse scroller.
That would never work for me. Never ever ever.
Oh, it's quite good. Go try it, now.
Noobstegs probably doesn't know how to remap keys.
I've tried it and it's stupid. It's no way to play hc that's for sure.
Scrolling or remapping keys?
Because the latter would be pretty handy in HC.
Scrolling. I remap a few, like print screen and stand still. Also add the f9-f12 for skills.
On my old keyboard, the F keys just seems to be too far away. You know, the standard keyboards where there is a gap between the number (1233456789) and the F keys.

As some point I began to do that too.
Although it's been so long since I last played D2, I can no longer really remember.
It is useful because I map my dota keys the same way.
Never tried Dota. I actually got a game recommended today. HoN (heroes of Newerth(?) ) You know it?
It is a bad version of DotA / LoL
They are a bit separated, but it works well for me still.
I got told that dota is the Best but that it's betten then Dota2. Personaly I know nothing about the games.

I will definitely be interested to see what Dota 2.0 is like.
I played dota2 beta and it is fun but it seemed more slow paced than LOL. The communities is what kills those games for me to be honest though.
And how's the community in Dota2 like?
And how's the community in Dota2 like?
It's beta so it is not too bad but to be honest I only played a few games at my buddy's house. But he says that you get the same dipwads in dota2 that he got in LOL and the original Dota games. Even in WC3 the people who played dota were elitists and annoying imo. Which is unfortunate because the games can be fun.
I had annoying elitists! They are the worst kind!
This is the internet after all, it is to be expected.
Yes, but they still annoy very much.
DOTA players are a special breed though.
Oh noes. I should visit their forum. Just to get mad.

Maybe. In other news, I just bought me a headset. Yes, I'm that impatient.

It was the perfect match between something affordable and something that wasn't totally ugly. But since it's the first time I ever have headphones plugged into this computer, I've encountered some problems. Even at max volume, the sound in BF3 is terrible low. Not sure how to fix it.
EDIT: Trying to install some drivers now from their homepage. Maybe that wil work?
EDIT2: That didn't work. Any help will be much appreciated.
I think Kori said he used a program to manually adjust volumes from different sources.
Those look out of my budget :p
I sort of got it working now. I just had to use a jackstick.
Eventhough there were a sort of USB sound card and USB cables in the box when I bought it. How to make that work, I don't know
plug it in? seems easy enough to me!
I'm afraid that's all the help I can give you.
Unplug and plug in again? :dontknow:
Maybe it's not compatible? :scratchchin:

When the guys working in my neighborhood cut the cable in front of my house I piggybacked off my neighbors wifi for a few weeks.
Actually it looks like it may be. It seems to be illegal if you don't have their permission. If it is not password protected though it's a bit of a grey area.
Airmon-ng is your friend ;)
Of course it's illegal if you don't have permission:D

Here in Norway you are responsible for your own network. If you have an open wireless and someone logs on and do something illigal with it, you'll be the person responsible, unless you can prove in a court (if it goes that far) that the computer used for said action is not part of your household.
People who don't at least password protect their network deserve to be used :p
Here you can be liable but it is still considered trespass if you access a open wifi without permission. It's no different then leaving your door unlocked if someone goes in your house they are still there illegally.
Yea, that's what I figured. As long as you don't do it all the time or do illegal stuff you likely won't ever get caught though.
KORI! y u no been around?

Sorry was on the xbox. =P
It's beta so it is not too bad but to be honest I only played a few games at my buddy's house. But he says that you get the same dipwads in dota2 that he got in LOL and the original Dota games. Even in WC3 the people who played dota were elitists and annoying imo. Which is unfortunate because the games can be fun.
well I just got into the Dota2 Beta, so I guess I will see how it is :D
Xbox....what a noob!
agreed .
Where did all the spam go?

You're both just jealous!
DLC is ruining e-sports.
I'd like to hear the reasoning behind this statement! =P
DLC is when you pay like 5 dollars for a map on console.
I know. Which game were you talking about?
Yea...I may be a bit jealous.
DLC is just another way for developers to take more money from us for stuff that should have shipped with the game. Imagine if you had to pay for each D2 patch .....
I still don't get what game you're talking about

Isn't there any other reason for the statement?

Yea...I may be a bit jealous.
Which games aren't we talking about? All recent CoD games, Battlefield 3, Dead Island, Halo games, Dead Rising, Gears of War games, heck any sort of online shooter game will release DLC's to include more maps and whatnot. =P

Undoubtedly. Companies figured that why release content that might not quite be ready (and obviously isn't part of the core storyline), when they can delay the release of those, include it in a later patch, call it downloadable content and earn extra cash on it. From a bussiness stand point, doing the latter makes the most sense no? =P
Yea it sucks for us gamers, but until we grow fed up with it and just all stop buying DLC's, or enough of us do to not make it worth the devs time, then DLC's will be part of the gaming scene.
Edit: Since that other forum was too creepy to sleep in, I'll crash here again. It feels a lot safer.
Good night! :cloud9:
I really don't think that DLC's is such a big deal. There is one for BF3, I haven't bought that, and I'm still having fun.
I never buy DLC, generally speaking it is not worth it for me.
I've never bought any, but I've never really had a game that needed it.
DLC's are the new "expansions"
Like I said never really seen the point of DLCs. I can understand expansions, but don't really feel like play 4-5$ for some small additional content.

Diablo 3 went with the RMAH instead of DLC which is a breath of fresh air imo.
SC2 originally planned to have map dlc, but they scrapped it because of the community outcry.
RMAH doesn't bother me in the slightest to be honest. I wont be buying items with money and if other people want to do that I don't really care.

Me neither, in fact, if I make a few extra coins here and there.... http://www.maggiesnotebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/GWBush_Mission_Accomplished_25.jpg
I am not sure how RMAH is going to work as most of the people I have talked to have no intention of spending cash on items but just want to sell their items....
Yea, I'm not sure if I will use it at all or not. I'm not putting any of my money into it but I may sell and then buy. Or I might just sell, depends on how I feel later. People will use it to buy, people still spend tons of money on D2, I'm sure they will do it on D3 also.
Maybe. I will possibly sell and then buy. There is no way I am putting my own money into there.
I kinda don't like the idea of taking money out of the game. seems like it might make it less fun eventually.
The RMAH will work because although purists won't be buying a lot of people will be buying. Look at games with successful micro transactions and people have no issue throwing down 5-10bucks, sometimes more, here and there for a new skin or mount etc. So I see them doing the same with the RMAH. If you read the Bnet boards you see a lot more people who are ok with the RMAH. I won't be using it and I doubt I will be even selling on it unless I find 2 of something an Alt can't use. When I played D2 I played with me and about 8 friends and never traded outside that circle and pretty much found everything I ever had and was very happy.
As promised Kori, here are my specs for my computer: http://www.reviewgist.com/specs/acer-ax3300
I didn't exactly know what specs you wanted, so I just linked to the entire list instead.
@everyone else: I'm another one of those, who are looking to update my graphic card and I talked with Kori about it yesterday and he told me to post it here.
The nvidia 680 was just released today so you could wait for the 660 to come out and it should decimate d3. Of course with you using on board video like is listed on that spec sheet a 460 or 560 would be a huge upgrade for you now. Actually any discrete (non integrated GPU) would be a big upgrade for you.
Yea, I know rally nothing about computers, and I have never upgraded it in any way. So, thanks for the recommendation.
As long as it is a graphic card that is out on the market right now, considering that it's something that I want to wish for my birthday.
Yes with you using on board any 500series gpu would be a huge upgrade for you. When you are ready to buy and have a price range let us know and we can steer you in the right direction.
Hmm.. I would say anything between 150-180$ I have no idea what the costs are, so feel free to correct me.
That range here in the US you can buy a nvidia 560 card quite easily but I am not sure what the translation to Euro prices are since somethings are cheaper there and somethings much more expensive.
Although it's in danish: http://www.edbpriser.dk/Product/Details.aspx?pid=4969630 Is this the one you're talking about?
Not sure I have heard of the maker of that card(inno3d) but the rest is correct.
The 7XXX series of AMD cards are pretty cool too.
I personally would probably go the 7870 close to the power of a GTX 580 with almost no power use. The GTX 680 does look incredible though .....
They all look the same to me

I am waiting till just before release and picking up a 680 or possibly 670 if they are out by then.
I am a little annoyed that AMD is no longer making 6970s as I wanted a second one to CrossFire ...
just get it second hand?
680 is a very very nice card.
I'm waiting for this mobo to make a new build

Hey guys I'm back.
Went to a gaming evening at a friends place yesterday around 4 pm. And that gaming evening turned into night, which turned into morning. I got back home again around 7 am. It's almost 9 am now so probably should get some sleep.
@Pyro: I'll have to take a look at that upgrade you were talking about after the weekend I think! Sorry it's taking so long, but the last part of this week has been a bit weird. >_>
@Autti: It does indeed, I take it you are going a Micro-Atx build?
@Autti: It does indeed, I take it you are going a Micro-Atx build?
Ive already got a mATX build, that is an ITX board :) it's so cute and pint sized and comes with a full 10 power phases on the daughter board at the top.
If I ever go to a gaming night at my friends house it always goes about that long, so hard to stop.
I don't think pyro posts in this thread, he was posting in the compound.
I actually never tried to have a gaming night with a friend. I seem to just find random people on the internet..
It's more fun to do in person, I only have one friend that I've ever done it with though.
All my close firends moved away to other places for work, but we used to have awesome gaming nights.
We'd go out to clubs or whatever, and if we were unsuccessful at picking up the ladies, we'd end up getting drunk and playing Goldeneye.
I played a ton of N64 with friends while I was in high school. Goldeneye and SSB almost exclusively.
Where's Kori when you need someone to play BF3 with? :(
You're the dumb one for not knowing that methinks.
There's a spammer in the D3 forums. Go make yourself useful Kegs.
Are you talking about me?
Right, I took care of it, thanks for the hot tip :D
Norway, where else?
Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer
Can't tell if his question was stupid. Or you referred to his answer and therefore MY question was stupid..
They were both stupid, that's the point
You're fine with being stupid?
Yea, because I was merely responding to your stupid.
They were both stupid, that's the point
exactly, Sk asked a stupid question and kegs gave the stupid answer.
huh, there is a "7" in each of our post counts.
there is also a 2 and an 8 .... (well there was)
I think Sk needs to go to bed, he is going crazy.
you're right. the cat and me is going to sleep. See you in 5 hours!
Are you talking about the GF?
No, we do own a cat. I would post a pic. But you wouldn't appreciate it enough.
I used to have cats, I like cats for the most part.
