Nvidia Launches Physx drivers

Nvidia have now released its physx drivers that allow 8 series G92 core graphics cards to use its core GPU as a physx processor. By utilising the superfast cores on the Nvidia cards your pc is able to play games that incorporate millions of moving and movable particles without impeding on the performance of the PC. If your PC trys to manage these millions of particles, moving objects and interactive materials without the aid of a Physx card or physx drivers then you will be lucky to reach anything more than 20FPS (on a Q6600, 8800GTS), however with the help of the Physx card you may get 60+. On the Nvidia website there is also a free game called Warmonger which utilises the physx drivers to a great extent, its great fun to shoot up planks of wood and watch them splinter into realistic pieces and in a realistic manner or shoot a flapping flag and watch it rip and tare and flap in 2 parts. If this is the future of gaming I cant wait for the new titles to be released, but it not only uses the GPU for physx it can also be used for video encoding using the bada-boom application (demo available from the website). I personally think ATI have seriously got their work cut out to achieve the same on their cards. Get the latest drivers from here

XBOX 360 Red Ring of Death???

Having had my Xbox 360 fail with the 3 red ring of death, and not wanting to spend money on a new one I decided to do a little research and fix it myself, afterall its only a PC. Well the good news is that after stripping it down it now works fine, I dont know how long for but its working now. If yours is the same then please contact us and maybe able to fix it for you, however if you have purchased it within the last 3 years then contact Microsoft first as they have extended their warranty to 3 years due to the faults. I might have any warranty now but atleast its working.

February 2008

The number of malicious programs are now at an epidemic level according to experts. The number of variants / strains of malicious programs has rised 5x the level of 2006 in 2007. The organisation AV Test has reported almost 5.5million strains in 2007, this is up from 972,606 in 2006. Anti-virus companies rely on customers sending samples of viruses to them for investigation, however with spyware and malware the customers usually do not know that they are infected. At the PC Centre Nantwich we recommend Bitdefender Anti-virus, it not has the usual Anti-virus and firewall modules but also anti-spyware and anti-phishing as well, click here to find out more. If you are infected we offer a removal service starting from just £15inc VAT, call us today to book in your machine,
