    I have a really dumb question..

    How in the world are headsets 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1 Surround? I get that fundamentally it's software trying to simulate a physical arrangement. But how can anyone claim that 7.1 vs 5.1 or 6.1? when ALL headsets have two speakers?

    Best 27/28 for gaming?

    MistaSparkul, Thanks for your input, even though the 970's have that shitty 3.5GB thing going on. They will eventually be replaced when something better is available, however a monitor is a longer term commitment, so even if I can't get the most out of a 4k monitor because of the 970...

    There is no benefit to me making up something like this. I live in Florida. I also didn't realize how much of the bill was going towards the rig, but this is true. Even today I own a Macpro 3,1 Tower with the 2.8ghz Quad core. and when I turned it off for a week the bill went way down. but to be...

    Few years ago I had a Q6600 running at 3.4ghz and a 9800gtx. I felt like king of the Hill then. Went through Games like Crysis as if they were nothing. Then I had some kind of problem, I ended up going back to stock voltage and clocks to troubleshoot. ended up staying like that for a month.. My...

    Well I at least would like to play the new Wolfenstein. then work backwards.. when I say work backwards, I mean I haven't even played Starcraft 2 and that came out maybe 3 years ago. I like to game at 1920x1200 with all eye candy turned on, so I guess I might need a decent GPU. But like I said...

    So what I am hearing is, an Intel 65w will use less energy than an AMD 65w? If this is true then how could they be rated the same TDP?

    most powerful GPU that doesn't require external power

    No, they use the same GPU's as PC users. so any off the shelf gpu will work, its just PSU's and RAM that have to be made specifically for your machine, everything else is like normal.

    most powerful GPU that doesn't require external power

    I have a Mac pro from 2009 or so. Looking to upgrade the GPU. The PSU doesn't have a 6 pin connector so it won't take a high end card. Is there anything better than a 7750?
