    SLI 650M or single GTX660M notebook

    Thanks! Totally forgotten about that website! Cool it looks like it out performs my existing gaming desktop HD 7770. To the other 2 that mentioned that the price is high, unfortunately I'm located in Asia, so gadgets here are typically more expensive here than back in the states.

    Radeon HD 6770 to 7770 a good upgrade?

    It's not much of an upgrade, unless you're looking to lower power consumption. As Danny Bui points out, it varies on games/resolution.

    ATI 7450m?

    Where is that Oblivion "Ultra High" setting?

    Dug up my old Oblivion disc and fired her up, now I could've sworn I've saw that setting somewhere in the launcher before, but I can't seem to find it now. I updated to the latest with Shivering Isle patch, does anybody know how? Thanks in advance...

    Can the Nexus One do it all?

    If you're coming from an LG Vu, you'll enjoy the Android interface and the things it has to offer for your needs, especially if you have most of your online stuff centralized through Google account.

    Windows 7 Vanilla Drivers versus ATI Catalyst

    Is it just me, but I feel the stock Windows 7 drivers perform just as good, if not better than the current ATI Catalyst drivers available? Though I am using an older card 4850. I just want to know if others have similar experience or have different views.

    Assassin's Creed 2 Only using 1st core?

    Really? It's running on par with my AC1 performance, but my AC1 performance is not like yours that was consistent with 70 fps. I'm always averaging around mid 40 fps for both games. E5200 with a ATI 4850 in 1080p with max settings (no AA with 16x AF).

    Thinking of returning my 5850

    1920 x 1080 resolution? The 5850 should fly just fine. I'm still on my stock 4850 and running that resolution pretty nicely, albeit with a few settings notched down for a few games; but overall I'm still having a good gaming experience with most of the games I own! Any particular games you're...

    @ bittech.net - Epic: "PC piracy drove us to consoles"

    It's funny. Rocksteady that created "Batman: Arkham Asylum" didn't seem to have an issue with making an Unreal engine game to PC. But hey whatever, Epic played a huge role in creating a larger Xbox 360 audience and they know for sure they can continue profiting from there much more easily than...

I'm not having good luck with WD drives of 2009... 2 out of 5 of them has gone bad on me recently and if my hunch on my current 500 GB one is right, that would be my 3rd one to go out.
