meh its not terrible but the fps for starcraft 2 sucks and it can lag terribly sometimes, most other games run fine on optimum settings though.
SC2 is barely different from SC1, just play the original

ATI Radeon HD 5670

IceQ version is on Tigerdirect for $80. Runs so cold that it cools my other components. Great for performance, even if it's shoved up against a wall under a desk.

BTW, it runs Dolphin on any game at MAX (and I mean MAX) settings, where my Core i3 (3.06GHz) has become the bottleneck! And that's on UBUNTU!

EDIT: FYI, Ubuntu has to use OpenGL, which is crippled on ATI cards. The 5670 overpowers that with raw speed!

    I like electronics that use detachable cables, that way if the cable breaks you can just swap in a new one instead of replacing the whole unit

    most battery operated mice don't even work anymore if the internal battery dies
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    the L hdmi adapters work great on my tv and receiver. so much less stress on the ports using them than regular cables. in that instance anyway.

    A bigger battery could defeat the need for weighted magnets tbf

    @RedColoredStars, I also listen to Beck, some of their songs are fine. Only found out about them through Windows Me; you know, that one operating system nobody ever likes?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i dont know why tv manufactures put the hdmi ports in dumb locations so the cables have to stick out, and then down, putting strain on the ports. Instead of having the ports along the bottom edge of the tv facing downwards.
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    windows me was mostly on laptops if i remembered correctly
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, I hate that too where you have to use an HDMI extension for an Amazon Fire Stick.

    I downloaded XP on dialup when it came out. Overnights for like a week. cuz I couldn't tie up the phone line during the day. It was so awesome and worked so great going from ME to XP.
