Razer Megalodon 7.1 Headset Win7 64bit Bug

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

The Megalodon is Razers premium headset its 7.1 that really works on a headset, I’ve had other 7.1 headsets and expensive 2.1 gaming headsets in the past, but this is by far best audio I have heard on a headset.

I was having audio cut outs every 30mins using the megalodon which was very irritating esp when clan gaming really pissing me off alt+tabbing the restarting TS ARGHHHH RAGE! tried upgrading to the new drivers & looked everywhere online for a solution seemed the only thing out there was to buy a powered USB Hub well I did last night been playing BFBC2 for a few hours now so must have worked ahh so happy now thought I had to buy a new heaset which would have been a absolute bullshit solution esp downgrading to something 2.1/shitter audio quality.

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

3dmark_

Haha found this small java application on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 page it runs a benchmark from the page here. pretty surprised and confused how my graphics card is faster? must work normally like their benchmarks does and test ghx and machine hardware i got 19,500 with is acuarte as last time I tested I got a mark of about 18k… They must just have like a database or an avarge for hardware so my machine is way faster then average

My results..

Your current PC’s 3DMark score: 19,500
Your PC’s 3DMark score with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275: 15,000

More results from the YouGamers.com website, I got again “19500 VirtualMarks“.

here is my profile and results:
http://browse.geekbench.ca/user/blackwaltz/geekbench2

Eee PC 1000 @ Stock = 886
(planning on Overcloking CPU and installing samsung SSD and 2 GBs RAM)
Dell XPS M1730 @ Stock \w 3GBs RAM = 2597
(which is very low though need to test on win7 XP is shit).
Custom Built Machine i7 CORE 920 Bloodrage MB @ Stock CPU \w 2GBs RAM = 8026
(my desktop machine as soon as I get my GBs Corsair RAM it will pump it up to 10K easy).
