    GPGPUs?

    Sadly, the Teslas seem to be built off of GTX470 tech so 580s should be much faster. (And cooler) Flashing wouldn't be possible unless you too a 470 3gb to a Tesla 2050 but AFAIK no 470s are 3gb. Looks like it cant be done till they release the newer models.

    A Look at NVIDIA's GeForce 270 Driver

    Betas are just fine, these still didn't help me, any driver newer that 260.99 screws up my system, basically the GPU control panel wont open and if it does it just freezes. I ripped the OGL D3d and the Nvlddmkm.sys from the 270.51s and put em in the 260.99s and they are working good, less driver...

    GPGPUs?

    580s would be faster but no ECC and that, what would be smart is see if there is a model of professional card with 3gb of ram and the same shaders and flash it to it and that should enable the features. It will appear as multiple GPUs, even in SLI. A bios flash would probably enable DP on a 580...

    "Botched" 6790s Released

    It appears that there has been some mixup in communication between AMD and its partners, which resulted in a bit more ROPs on the HD 6790 card. AMD's official specs stated that this Barts GPU should be left with 800 Stream processors while the number of ROPs should be 16, or half of the...

    Is $15 for a Piece of DLC Too Expensive?

    I got my copy of MW2 free (from M$) :D haven't played it a whole lot though. I really don't like DLC pricing though. Its way too much, what was nice is for gears of war, if you didn't get every pack as it came out they made a 800ms point pack with them all vs 600x3/4 packs. AFAIK its the only...

    What Would You Like to See from Intel's Enthusiast-class Motherboards?

    Well, lets see, USB3.0 or equivalent, Lots of Sata 6Gbps ports. Built in power/reset buttons for testing. If I had a multimeter I would say voltage test points. LED indicators/display for troubleshooting. Maybe onboard wifi/bluetooth. Easy button for bios clears, maybe more USB up front (so...

    New GPU ...Rigth decision?

    Well, that one is a DCUII model so its a non reference with much better cooling and likely better OC room due to better parts used on it. Hence the extra costs for it.

    New GPU ...Rigth decision?

    Yea that GPU should blow your old ones away entirely. It will be much better.

    I think I need a full-tower...

    Bah forget the puny 80mm fans those are just so 2000. No go with MASSIVE 230mm fans!!! use 3 on the top and bottom 4 on each side and another 3 on the front and back for a total of 20! but at 110CFM each, thats no laughing matter, that's 2,200CFM flying around, you better tie everything down :D

    I think I need a full-tower...

    The Corsair 800D is really nice but its a bit expensive and it (AFAIK) is not the best (or very good at all) with air cooling. Any I have seen online were bought to do watercooling.

    I think I need a full-tower...

    Get a HAF X :D they are awesome. Then get an XSPC D5 Res, a D5 pump, a FC block for the 5970 and a CPU block, oh and a SR1 or any other decent 360 rad and another 230 mm fan to put up top. Run the top fans as exhaust for the rad and the front and side as intake. The temps ought to be pretty dang...

    Nvidia GTX 590

    Wow.... This is the biggest fail card I have ever seen. Only a 77Mhz OC on stock vcore add vcore and OCP is triggered lmao You can get all this fail for the low low price of $699.99 :D The card may be quiet but that's because it cant OC and has extremely reduced clocks. This card may be better...

    They were just a touch over $100, mine was $108.65 after tax. They are currently at $99.99 for the only MC branded one, its labeled 64gb (usable 60gb).

    Upgrading the TG Lab: Corsair's Force Solid-State Drives

    I could pick you up one and ship it to yah if you would like just paypal the money + shipping but its pretty light and as SSD not much packaging is needed either.

    new build 2.0

    Well.... you could say screw it go SR2 with dual xeon hexcores and water that sucker down :D or even a pair of quad xeons, it will clock higher than hell under water. Maybe for socket 2011 EVGA will make a SR3?
