I plan on building a new rig shortly, but I want to buy Windows 10 sooner and use it on my current PC. I heard that an OEM license is tied to the hardware it is first installed on, whereas if I purchase a retail license I can transfer it to any new PC I may use in the future - provided it is...

Am I right in assuming that among the best air cooling cases from Corsair (760T, 900D), Silverstone (FT02, FT05) and others, there is - at most - 1 or 2 degrees difference in GPU and CPU load temperatures?

But with women you need to be smooth, and with AA your computer is being smooth for you :D

I've been a huge fan of the big blockbuster Japanese games all my life - Metal Gear, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy. I can say, with confidence, that Ni No Kuni can be held in the same regard as those aforementioned franchises in every single way. From art direction, to the game systems it...

Awesome results! Just wish he would have pumped up the voltage - who spends that kind of cheddar on cooling NOT to push the card, anyways?

Ni No Kuni!!!

Makes sense to me - very good to know. Thanks for the info!

Now THIS is what I call an informative and helpful thread. Unlike so many threads these days. Utmost kudos to you, sir!

Finally! The return of overclocking hardware which requires you to actually tinker! About freaking time! This is what makes overclocking fun, IMO :)

MGS 2: Sons of Liberty

Yep, the ideal would be to use separate loops (one radiator per card) for each card because that way you're not feeding the second card in the loop with the warmer water from the first card. But that's not necessary as most just use a single loop - meaning one radiator for two cards.

I think you know exactly why ;)

It looks easy to use and from what I remember reading, it performs incredibly well. I'd give it a shot! Thermal paste is relatively cheap compared to components, so it's not out of the question to try two or three and see which works best for you :)

This, in all my years of following computer hardware, is the most promising thing I've read about. I think I speak for many when I say that I'm sick of not being able to trust review sites because of the possibility of bias due to money and profit being a factor. I'm not saying all review sites...

From what I hear, OLED can do perfect black, which plasma is incapable of. So OLED is technically capable of far better picture quality than plasma. Whether we'll see that quality in a mass produced TV is the real question :)

Agreed on all fronts :)

I just asked a simple question. A simple answer would be fine with me.

Have you personally seen micro-stutter on 79xx cards?

And here I was thinking the article would be about the marketing team that posts on forums, and that directs reviewers! I am disappointed :P

First one to jump in when nVidia is mentioned, huh? Sounds about right ;)

What's funny is that if BF4 was announced as backed by nVidia, no one would blink an eye.

Why not get a used 7950? They're SO cheap and so close to the 7970 when overclocked!

I think you'll see new cards in less than 6 months - but that's just a gut feeling :)

This is awesome news! The more threaded devs become, the better for the PC master race :D

Agreed 100%!

Great review! If anything, the info you guys presented made me more interested in what Ivy Bridge-E will be like. The SB-E bandwidth numbers were nuts!

Of course you have to label me as such - it's the only way to defend yourself. But the things I say regarding either GPU maker is based on logic, your comments usually are not.

*brofist* :D ...and don't bother trying to get GoldenTiger to admit any fault or bias. It's the attention that he's after, nothing more. So don't fuel that fire :)

Great... so new consoles AND new video cards in a few weeks of each other. Wallets shall beg for mercy!

He's referring to your obvious bias towards nVidia products, regardless of their actions.

Where did you get that quote? I don't ever remember saying that!

Same! I usually play till max level then beat the game, but with X-2 I just gave up.

If you used the 780 for physx instead that would be so legendary!

Absolutely, especially when you consider how long the hardware has been out and how competitive it still is.

Well, if you've waited THIS long (the 7970 has been out forever it seems) you might as well wait for 20 nm.

Oh man, that physx stuff looks SO cool!!!

No overclocking test for a video card reviewed by [H] just doesn't seem right! ETA for an article comparing a max OC'd 770 to a max OC'd 7970 and 680? I have a feeling that a custom cooled and OC'd 7970 is faster but i'd be willing to be proved wrong!

Apple is for pretentious people. Always has, always will be. And considering there's always people who want to act more important than they feel they are, Apple will survive. They're too inexorably linked to a common trait of people to fail, IMO.

Make sure to keep us posted! :)

Same! The 780, being priced the way it is, isn't making the 7970 (especially the 7950) any less of a great card for the money you pay.
