    step up gtx 570

    Well I got the gtx570 evga and am wondering if I should step up to gtx 580? I do not want to go sli right now, cause the power supply just wont cut it and I do not want to buy a new one at this time. I have 65 days left, pull trigger or wait and see if something comes out better closer to that...

    gtx 280 sli vs gtx 570

    my rig is in my sig. I have a chance to get another gtx280 ftw for less than 200. I am worried about the power supply not being able to handle sli. Would selling mine and buying a lone 570 get better performance than the sli 280's? I have been reading the searches and have not found many...

    EVGA GTX 280 arriving tomorrow

    Well I am getting my evga gtx 280 ftw tomorrow. I cannot believe Dell got them in so soon. 454 after mir. Started to cancel to get a vanilla for $389, I think this is the better choice I hope :) Does the evga precision software work well for noob overclockers like me?

    is my cpu bottlenecking my 8800gtx

    My rig in my sig has me concerned. I have been reading how people are using the 8800gtx in COD4 and getting 70-80fps at 1920x1200. I get about 65 if I am lucky. I know there are tons of variables going into it, but with no o/c'ing, do you think my cpu is really bottlenecking my graphics? I'm...

    Pulling trigger on gtx 280

    Well I am going to pull the trigger on the EVGA gtx 280 Superclocked. I hope if the die shrinks come out before Christmas I will get to use the step-up, if not I hope this card can last me 2 years. You think my 1.86c2d is bottlenecking my 8800gtx? Maybe I should get an e8400 while im at...

    EVGA Step-up Question

    I read the facts page and I have a question. I honestly do not think I will get to use the step-up(nothing new released within 90days) so it may be a moot point, but can the EVGA GTX 280 01G-P3-1282-AR be used in the step-up or do i have to use the base one. The list shows the base gtx 280. They...

    vista is killing me

    I Don't remember where this post was, I have read so many but a fellow board member insulted me...ok it was deserved. He answered a problem someone was having and said just do like the enthusiasts do and find and fix the problem. I agree and I have lost touch with my machine and have taken the...

    SLI

    Dell has the XFX 8800gtx for 560, I already have one. Think the price will drop below that by september(or Crysis release)? Would SLI be worth having over the next gen card(which I know no specs exist, but from past experiences)? Could the SLI cards be overclocked to gain even more as the...
