Just a quick question for you guys. Do you think the i7980X would hold back newer NVIDIA parts such as a GTX Titan? I realize this maybe sounds sort of ridiculous, but if anyone has any insight on this I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Slashgear is reporting that the ASUS ROG MATRIX 5870 will sport an automatic overclocking feature that changes frequencies on the fly depending on what you're doing. ASUS is stating that on average players can expect a roughly 19% boost in frames in first person shooters set to max detail as a...

HotHardware has specs for the ATI Eyefinity 6 version of the HD5870, as well as a trio of videos that show off L4D2 and HAWX on a single HD5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition. Specs: Compute Power: 2.72 TFLOPS (same as 5870 reg.) Core Clock: 850MHZ (same) Stream Processors: 1600 (same) Memory/Frame...

http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=22654 Looks like power concerns were about right, it's gonna be a a greedy bastard! 1.5GB ram is pretty neat though!

Looks like a few people over at XtremeSystems already have them. O_O http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=245333

I read about the dual socket monster board that debuted at CES, but is there any likelihood of a Classified 3x-SLI board updated with SATA 6/USB 3.0 in the near future? Anyone know?

Thinking about a gaming laptop and the possibility for a lot of power with a lot less juice required due to how efficient the desktop 5xxx series has been. I know some 5xxx mobility details came out, but I don't believe any sort of release timeframe was set. Anyone have any clue or...

Would 6GB or even 12GB actually be used in gaming on a Win 7 64 bit system? Or would most of that memory go to waste? Thanks!

Would 62A be enough juice to run a rig like this? (750W PSU)

Sorry, I don't follow AMD cards as much, but I am curious if there will be a single card solution for CrossFire on the 5870 (5870X2) this year. Does anyone know or think it is likely? Thanks. :)

I'm currently on a Velocity Micro PC with an OEM copy of Windows XP Pro installed. I plan on building a new pc in the near future and have the Windows 7 upgrade preordered. Will I be able to install Windows 7 on the new rig? Or am I going to have to install Windows XP on it, then install Windows...

Hi, I've been looking on Amazon for canned air to dust out my dust-prone PC and I found this little thing. The user reviews say they've used it fine with PCs and even the item description mentions it, but I thought I would ask here first: Do you think this thing is a safe, good alternative to...

Anyone have any info? I want something like the 2209WA but with HDMI, basically.

Aliens Predator Marines AvP Product Page Game is being made by the same dudes who gave us the original AvP in '99. Update: replaced images

So I just caught wind of the Persona 4 trailer thats going around the net and I decided to finally take a look at the Persona series. I've heard of this series before back on the PSX but never really paid attention to it (I'm a big RPG fan but I guess the title was vague and I never really knew...

Ok I want to buy some SEnnheiser HD555's, im using a set of Creative speakers (2.1's) and its got a volume control thing with a headphone jack in it. With the speakers plugged into the sound card and the headphones plugged into that volume control headphone jack will the sound quality still be...

Fairly broad question this is in regards to both LCD monitors for computers and plasma/lcd televisions (or any other tech.) Currently, as a gamer, TN panels are pretty much what you need but they suffer from a variety of issues. Is there any information as to what is to be expected this year, if...

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/nvidia_launching_new_hardware_to_coincide_with_crysis_release Sure sounds like it... P.S. I highly doubt the guy was referring to the 8800GT :P That's not exactly something worth fanfare when put in context with a power hungry game like Crysis.

http://www.silentpcreview.com/article610-page1.html Scroll down to specifications. Thats my PSU. I'm not looking for speculation, does anyone know for a fact it will not be an issue with an Ultra? I don't mind a GTX but for some reason there is a large disparity in the recommended power for a...

Theres so much rampant speculation on what is coming in November from NVIDIA. What can we reasonably expect to know, for sure? Is it gonna be like the 8 series launch? Just out of nowhere, boom 8800s are out! Go buy them! And blindside everyone, or will they actually announce something a bit...

How close would a well OC'd A3 revision GTS be to GTX performance? Thanks :P

(This is a repost, just in case, my idea is its related to PSU..but who knows..) From a friend: ": I put my PC together, have all of the retail drivers for the hardware installed, havent updated windows. It reboots instead of shutting down, and it does it in a weird way. From a powered...

From a friend: ": I put my PC together, have all of the retail drivers for the hardware installed, havent updated windows. It reboots instead of shutting down, and it does it in a weird way. From a powered down state, I hit the power button and it powers up--then powers down--then powers up...

Lets say you have a FX-60 (939) @ 2.6, and OC it somehow to 3GHZ? Is it the same as a 6000+? I mean, isn't the architechture really the same, it appears to me its just clock differences on this line. Cache as far as I know doesnt make much if any difference in gaming (which is why im asking)

I've been hearing this card is a really great value 595bucks after mail in rebate, and the core clock is really high, and supposedly can OC a bit further. From looking at it it seems like this would be an 8800 Ultra that is worth the premium, as opposed to the stock Ultra. Thoughts? I hear...

Hi guys my specs are : ASUS A8N-32 SLI mobo AMD X2 4800+ (s939) 2gb mushkin pc3200 2x7900GT SLI etc My question is, would there be a noticable difference taking the 4800 from 2.4ghz to 2.6ghz? I know this cpu isnt the best OCer so I don't expect to get much more than that on air, but I...

Hi I've been finding that my PC makes a kind of chirping sound thats been driving me up the wall. When I turn it off the sound continues, so I figured it was from outside and not the PC itself. But when I actually remove the power cord from the PSU the chirping dies down and stops. Sounds like...

Topic basically. Would this be considered an easily attainable OC on a X2 4800 (ASUS A8N-32 SLI Deluxe, Mushkin PC3200 DDR) If so, do you think I would notice any performance gains in either gaming or even a real bump in CPU score for 3dmark06? I'm also on 2x7900GTs if thats at all...

Ok as many of you know the 7900GT KO edition is factory oc'd 500/1500(effective) but the stock GT is like what 450/1350 something like that. I had my gpu1 replaced due to overheating but I got a KO edition card. So I have one KO edition as gpu1 and a stock one as gpu2 (the old one). Anyways...

Hi I was installing a replace graphics card today and I never messed with PCI-E before I've only used AGP, so this was a first time. Anyways, I accidentally snapped the retention clip on the MB. So my vendor wants to send out a new MB, but im wondering is it really necessary? With the...

I have SLI 7900GT system, SLI is enabled asis show load balancing. If I load a game like Jedi Outcast I see the green SLi load balancing bar (are there suppose to be two, I see one big green bar) Anyways, if I load some newer games I do NOT see the load balancing bar. I tried this in BF 2142...

The 8800GTX as we all know is a particularly LARGE card and really power hungry. I just bought a new PC this march and I got it with a 600W PSU, I find out to SLI something like a 8800GTX (not that I planned on doing so anyways) you need like 800w-1kw (I think its actually 1kw), is this where...

I have a 7900GT SLI set up and on idle the temps are vastly different (I do have a PCI Slot Fan under my GPU2) but im not sure how much a difference that really makes. Anyways the idle temps are pretty different, in fact my stupid GPU1 idles at anywhere from 55-60C depending on room...
