I love Princess Bride but so does everyone I know. That's a damn good movie! Hmmm... one everyone else I know hated. Off the top of my head I can think of three: Lars and the Real Girl. Slow. No action here. I found it humorous and poignant. The Beautiful Somewhere. Another slower...

They aren't the same. PhysX was created by Ageia who used it with add-in cards for systems. NVIDIA acquired Ageia and the technologies which they have incorporated into their newer cards. Havok was a competing physics engine created by a company of the same name. Intel acquired Havok in...

No problem. Glad to help. Yeah, Metro 2033 uses PhysX. Happy happy joy joy. Pardon my twirling my finger in the air and rolling my eyes. :rolleyes: It would seem that the game[s] ask whether or not the user has PhysX enabled on the system and the drivers have to be installed to give the...

In terms of improving your gaming experience, no, having the PhysX drivers installed will do nothing for ATI card owners. Given ATI's use of Havok it just doesn't make sense for ATI to want to use NVIDIA's PhysX. More importantly you must have the PhysX drivers installed even if you can't make...

I agree about the K-Lite pack. You make a valid point. The reason I use FFDShow is that it's stable and reliable, is constantly improved, and doesn't install garbage. More importantly, a vast number of software requires FFDShow, Haali Media Splitter, and/or AviSynth to be installed (ie BD...

On my Windows 7 system I have FFDShow, Haali Media Splitter, and Quicktime installed. I can player whatever I need to. I used to use QT Lite but it's such a pain to repeatedly install/unintall and replace with QT Lite when dealing with updating iTunes that I gave up on using QT Lite. Needless...

Yeah, those temps are way too high. I agree with dreamliner77 on all counts. Be glad your CPU is monitoring its core temperature[s] and throttling itself when they exceed safe/acceptable levels.

Steam does not always release updates as quickly as the retail DVD owners get them from the game developers. Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Steam does tend to be quicker than other online methods such as Direct2Drive and Impulse, however. Steam is useful in some ways and people can get some...

If you mean Driver Sweeper from Guru3D (Guru3D - Driver Sweeper), you can either run the program with the drivers already installed and let it do the uninstall for you or you can uninstall the drivers and let Driver Sweeper clean up leftover remnants. I tend to be the person who would use the...

Well, hopefully they will release a hotfix like they did for the 9.12s but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. As it stands the 9.12s with the hotfix installed are working just fine for everything I've used my system for.

ATI releases 1 set of drivers per month. The Catalyst 9.11 were released in 2009 in the 11th month. The 9.12 are the 12th month in 2009. The 10.1s are the 1st month of 2010. See the pattern? :) The 10.2s won't be out until February and likely mid to late. The 9.12s were released mid December...

You should have no issues with HDCP over DVI as long as the monitor is capable of it or using the DVI to HDMI adapter that should have come with the card. I'm pretty sure all the manufacturers should have included this with the ATI 5xxx cards if the card doesn't have a native HDMI connector but...

v2.27.1070 has been out for a fair bit now.

I'd recommend visiting the Corel website and grabbing the latest update when such a message occurs. Every 3-4 months there is a need for new keys for all the Blu-ray playback software. It's part of the way the whole process works. Corel, unfortunately, only seems to release 4 updates a year and...

LOL. That's a good one. :)
