    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

    thanks for the quick posts. cash is strapped hence why I was thinking for less than 200 i could have sli gtx 280's. Ebay is selling them between $100-175. So I would not be able to get the $570 right now even if I wanted. Couldn't get enough for my card. My goal right now is my garage...

    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...

    To Captivate or to...?

    Just got my captivate from letstalk and I have to say I am amazed by the phone. I have no lag in going to things like others are seeing. I came from a samsung eternity and iphone 3g before this, and I would trade both phones to have had this one the whole time. I am still playing around with it...

    Modern Warfare 2 In Real Life

    wow technically the gadget guy won with 35.8 seconds and the spec ops guy did it in 42secs. But I would be embarased to be the gadget guy and having the real life guy be that close. The specs op guy had to physically run, shoot, jump, and climb stairs and he did it in 42 secs. Gadget show guy...

    i have the noctua nh-12p and its idle at 35 with my 920. That is with both fans and a not so good as5 application. going to redo the paste with nh1 this weekend now they sent it to me. Noctua customer service rocks by the way. Cooler is running on high and I cannot hear it in my scout.

    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

    man I found this great article about o/c c2 duo's but cannot find the link again. Made me made because it seemed to apply to my ip35pro. :) I thought the gtx 280 already did physx. Would the 8800 dedicated be better or would it just heat up my case to now end. Plus not sure the hx620 psu...

    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

    ok. So if I buy the GTX 280 621clock then I would step-up to the next one that comes out, but, the base model only(like gt212 or whatever it would be called). That correct?

    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 have P30 the latest, you mean downgrade to a lower version? The mobo came with P26 and all these problems were happening on the P26 so I tried going to P30 to see if this fixed the issues. Thanks for the suggestion
