Hi all,
I plan on upgrading from my CrossfireX 6950's to the 6 series nvidia cards.
I game on 5760x1080, which 6xx series solution would be ideal for me to maximize price/performance? Rest of rig in sig.
GTX 670 2GB Windforce - $410
GTX 670 SC 4GB - $519
GTX 680 SC 2GB - $499

My current gaming PC is pretty quick, but I want some thoughts on how I should spend some $ on parts to make it run games better.
Eyefinity with 3x 1080p screens is definitely hitting performance on newer games, so how would you best use $500-$700 to best beef it up?
CPU: 2600K w/ H70 @...
Hi all,
Building a gaming rig for a friend as she wants a new rig to play games like Skyrim, etc.
The following build request list as follows:
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming / General Browsing
2) What's your budget? Are tax and...
Going to go with a new sandy bridge build and really want a SSD in there.
However, I hear rumors of intel's g3, corsair's new line and crucial's c400 in the grapevine.
If I wanted to spend $200-250 for a new SSD setup just for the OS/Apps [120+gb], is it worth it to wait?
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly gaming, multimedia use (not movies primarily) and browsing
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Around 2k for the parts that I have not bought yet.
3) Where do you live?

Hey all,
Going a new build once intel's sandy bridge gets released.
I'm going with 3x Dell U2311H monitors, with 1920x1080 res each.
What's the best config for my money that I should go with this multi-monitor setup?
Seems that people like Eyefinity over nvidia's 3D Surround.
Will...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc...
Are there any phones speculated to come to tmobile that are any good?

Requirements:
~1-1.3k max.
min 4GB
prefer i5/i7

a decent GPU (geforce gt3xx or hd5xxx)
Will be used mostly for productivity software, gaming, photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, etc
These are the models i'm thinking of, the one I like the most is the first...
Seems like the buzz is rather low for a "AAA" (supposedly :p ) game.

I'm heavily considering getting a Touch Pro 2 from T-mobile soon for $349.

I support the [H] by not running any ad-blocker add-on, and sometimes click on the links above if they're interesting, but I might have to go to mobile version if women keep posing up top or weird intense goth gazing persists. It just feels a little.. nsfw?

My Sennheiser PC150 headset just died on me (tested across 3 diff computers) and not too happy about that. But that's okay, b/c [H] can help me spend more $ :D

Hey all.
Rig in question is in sig.
My current vista x64 is being a little bit troublesome lately with crashing BSOD due to "iastor.sys" which google pops up as the Intel RAID drivers (correct me if I am wrong)

Hey all.
In the market for a 37-42" to replace my dead Westinghouse lvm-37w3 (no need to go indepth, there's already another thread for it ;) )
Anyway, I've done some research and narrowed it down to these two.
Just wanted to get the general consensus before I make the plunge.

With COD4 being quite aged (i never got it for PC) and COD:WaW getting really lukewarm to shitty reviews.. what's the FPS to get till Battlefield:BC2/1943 seeing as how that's not coming for a while?
Or rather, what FPS are people playing these days?

Now that's over with.. sigh. Was just playing xbox normally on it and all of a sudden.. bam, white screen, and all colors are fucked. Same across all inputs (HDMI, DVI, component) and although I can make out what the screen is displaying, this is far from acceptable for...
Note: not free shipping, but shipping to me was $7.40 for ground. I bit two, so total was $257.38 for 2TB so $0.128 per gig. No tax either which makes it hotter than the previous HD deal. Plus, this is also a Seagate 7200.11 drive.
Man, seems like it's been a rather cold spell of [H]otness for graphic cards lately... besides the 4870x2 469 deal from BB, and the gtx 260 179 from thenerds, there haven't been any deals on either the GTX 260, GTX 280, 4870 or 4870x2..
I'm in the market for any of those 4 mentioned above @...
It's been about 3 months since the question was last asked.. and more people here seem to favor DD-WRT over Tomato.
However, i've been reading up a little bit on both and some people seem to say tomato is more "responsive and quicker" whereas DD-WRT may offer more features but those can...
Hey all. Know there are some intelligent people here.
My sister's birthday is coming up and my brother, father and I are piecing together an upgrade for her.
She does gaming, will be using vista ult x64, photoshop work, etc. on a 22" monitor, so 1680 x 1050 res.
Anyway, the challenge...
does installing an aftermarket heatsink void most warranties on ATi cards? Specifically VisionTek, HIS, Sapphire etc. with a 4870x2,4870,4850, etc.
i'm thinking about doing watercooling and would love to get an x2.. but would hate to not be supported by the vendor down the road just in case...
Rig in sig, my q6600 temps are:
Core#0: 35
Core#1: 40
Core#2: 41
Core#3: 35
at idle, similar when its at load.
Where two cores are always about 5-6~ deg off from the other two. Is this due to the chip being concave and the IHS isn't making contact all the way? If so, fixable through lapping...

Hey all. I'm selling an eVGA 9800GX2 which has been lightly used and operating at stock frequencies. It has a great potential to OC, as I've turned it up to 700/1850/2000 without any problems whatsoever. It's definitely a great card, I'm sad to see it go.
I have all original boxes, CD's...
Okay.. i have a weird problem.
My system has been running stable, no problems up until today.

ClubIT has the PNY GeForce 9800GX2 for $539 selling at their website.
Special Promo from the looks of it.
If you don't care about the step up from evga/bfg or double lifetime from xfx, then this price is definitely a lot more appealing than 600 + shipping from all the competitors.
