Widescreen Gaming Forum

I know that C&C3 was built off a modified SAGE engine (the engine used in C&C generals and BFME:2) I know you could edit an .ini file in generals to zoom out the camera and have a much larger fov, is this possible in C&C3?

Even if it is possible, it would only be for single player.

As ...

I wonder why 16:10 become the defacto standard for widescreen pc displays instead of 16:9?

16:10 is known as the 'golden ratio' - but i can't remember why :lol:


I currently run 32:10 lol ... 2x 16:10 monitors at 1440x900

though I should be switching to a 30" display in the next 2 ...

@skeeder
Nice interior.:) What is this nice northbridge heatsink called? Is it a customized?

I'm not skeeder, but i'll answer it anyway :P

Its a standard Thermalright HR-05 Northbridge Heatsink by the look of it.

Which one is it?

I was looking at getting the 42" 1080p for around that price.

Westinghouse LVM-42w2 - as it says in his sig...

How clear is that screen for normal desktop use?

My PC has a door and has a silence cover, so there is no chance for a display in one of the slots. I like Dualhead anyway.:)

only ONE of the slots? nah... mine takes up 2 of the 5.25" bays 8)

Well... it keeps me happy anyway :oops:

...and I can check temps, rpms and voltages live.

I've got an LCD display on the front of my PC for that sorta stuff... then the 2 normal displays for work etc.

I really need to get some pics of my new rig up!

Yeah its a designer thing I guess!

I get so much more work done on my dual set up than i could on a single screen

People always comment on my dual setup, i guess its just not something you see in the average home

Triplehead won't work with the 3007, well it will, but not at native resolution.

I think all 3 monitors have to display the same res as well.

unusual to just have the one portrait monitor there, is it just a lack of space?

I mean I'm sure you have enough desktop realestate now!! But its always nice to have thing symmetrical :P

[quote]Nice look... the blue is a bit too bright though for me

I'm also not a fan of lights, gizmo's and other doo dads on a pc.

Have you posted your rig in here Johnny? I don't think you'd like my new one :lol:

Mongorian could you arange your signature in a horizontal format like most people look at mine for an example (It takes up less space that way ;))


firstly, who made you a moderator...?

secondly, that isn't his signature, he has simply posted the specs of his PC. :roll:



And ...

[screen]
RESOLUTION=0


I'd assume from that, the game has inbuilt resolutions, and the number represents the res.

So...
0 = 1280x
1 = 1024x
2 = 800x
3 = 640x

Maybe?

I'm quite often wrong, so this probably isn't the first time!

Try changing the resolution in ...

Think i'll be buying oblivion, FEAR and the expansion pack at the end of this week... was gonna get them through amazon anyways...

You'll be rolling in it soon mate :lol:

whoops!

I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere on the forums, but I've only noticed the new amazon links today.

Is WSGF receiving a commision on sales put through these stores?

I buy from amazon regularly, and would rather go through here if it is benefitting the site in some way?

Signed, but only 14 so far...

Errrm... wouldn't having the images displayed on a mirror mean it was back to front??

This looks like pointless technology to me

*sees the coolest case in the world under the desk!*

Do get more shots of that.

I wouldn't choose it personally, but its certainly not the average looking case...
