    Did I make the right choice?

    My previous card was indeed a GTX 760 by MSI. My system specs are Q6600 @ 3.2GHz, 4GB DDR2 800, no SSD yet just normal 7200 rpm drives for now. I get 60 fps on games like Skyrim with mods on high/AA-AF set to 8 playing at 1080P. I plan to buy Xenoverse next. I know my PC is old and...

    Did I make the right choice?

    I got a new ASUS DirectCU II R9270X 2GB version for about $140 after tax. I needed a new card to replace a similar one that recently failed. Thing is, I went from 4GB to 2GB and Nvidia to AMD/ATI. Don't notice any difference in my games, but I still wonder if I made the right choice. :confused:

    Need a PSU and narrowed it to these two

    My system probably never needed anything above 400w, but I like to have room for future upgrades. My specs are q6600 @ 3ghz (may go higher), 8600gts (don't game), 3 sata hdd, 2 dvd burners, 2gb ram. Other things like 2 120mm case fans, fan controller, card reader, floppy etc.

    Q6600 @ 67C

    I run Prime just to make sure it's stable. My original idea was to push it as high as it can go on air. :D

    Q6600 Deal at Fry's

    Well check them out. I should see if they give the $10 back too. And they even specify the stepping now. Anyway Q6600 FTW! This thing eats my Prescott for breakfast. It's also G0.

    OC Q6600 vs SSE4

    Can't. Once I upgrade it has to stay that way for the next 4-6 years.

    OC Q6600 vs SSE4

    Might seem like a dumb question, but I want to know your ideas on this. Let's say there was a encoding program that fully supported SSE4. The video to be encoded is any random format at least 30 minutes long. Now at stock the Q9300 with SSE4 is suppose to have a 30%-50% increase in performance...

    Random Click

    http://boomp3.com/m/85fe1502c87b/random-click What is this? I'm using onboard realtek hd audio and this random click just happens out of nowhere. It can't be the speakers since it can be recorded through the pc can it? When it does happen it always clicks twice just like in the sound.

    Would SSE4 make a huge difference?

    I need a fast processor for video/dvd editing and encoding. So I've decided on buying a quad. But the Q6600 doesn't have SSE4 and the Q9300 and up will. Will I notice the difference of no SSE4 on the Q6600? Or should I try and wait for the next quads from Intel?

    Dell Censors Panel lottery info. Share info here.

    Sweet I won the lottery! I like the s-video and composite inputs because I can use this as a TV if I ever needed to. I'm playing my PS2 on it right now just for fun. Only minor problem is on black screens there's a tiny blue pixel. It's very dim and it can only be seen if you get close and...

    Can't decide on 2007WFP or 2407WFP

    My budget wouldn't allow the 2407 so I ended up ordering the 2007. Oh well, I have a 32" TV that can go to 1080i at least. :D

    Superflower Fan Master SF-609

    Finally got it back Saturday (5/5) Do you know instead of them sending me a replacement control they repaired it and sent it back. I was surprised to see anyone one do this. So far it works BUT when using the lime green display it buzzes slightly. I doubt I'm going to send it back again because...

    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    If you say so. *grabs & squeezes chucky* Anyway I had an A panel and couldn't get it to look good no matter what I tried. Now I have the LG and the problems the Sam had doesn't exist on this screen. Perhaps I just got a defective screen and it had nothing to do with it being an A but I didn't...
