    AMD Radeon HD 6870 & HD 6850

    The renumbering sucks but when you look at what the cards are technically slotted to replace, mainstream to mainstream you see massive performance boosts from a 5750 to a 6850 or a 5770 to a 6870. I like, and I cannot believe how accurate my guess was Nvidia's cards are to be $20 more but not...

    Graphics Card Questions

    Yes go AMD for budget systems, I built my cousin a BEAST pc for next to nothing, but when you toss in a monitor and better gpu price quickly gets close to $600. That's about what my machine started at and now its over $900 for the rig, no monitor and another $450 for the 32" LCD TV/Monitor. It...

    NVIDIA Prefaces AMD's Radeon HD 6800 Launch with Price Drops

    But if the new AMD cards MURDER Nvidia's 400 series what then? Will Nvidia say $20 more for our card(s) and 10-15% less performance? I cant wait for 6k series benches :D

    Pirate Parties in Space?

    That would be too awesome..... I bet TPB would be the next to do something crazy like that, maybe relaunch their tracker, idk just would be crazy.

    Gears of War 3

    I made a few Hi-Res wallpapers out of some gears 3 stuff, the last couple were forced a bit but only because I needed 4 for my 1080p Xbox360 theme. Check em out: (The top 2 are the best (in my opinion) The third is OK and the last, to me is just Meh, or average.) I have some other stuff on my...

    Graphics Card Questions

    Ouch, that is why I never buy prebuilt. It seems like a better deal sometimes but in reality they are giving you the cheapest low quality parts they can get away with (typically). Anyways if you wanna save a bit of money get a 5750 or even a 5670, but if you wait a bit prices may drop further.

    Lavalys EVEREST is no More, Resurfaces as AIDA64

    It is better than Everest in several places, new benches were added and updated. Also the portable computer stuff was updated, it also detects a lot of newer hardware, my Vizio LCD TV is now reported VS generic monitor. The new CPUID is nice too, same with the cache and memory bench.

    Can a Gaming Vest Improve the Fun-Factor and Your Performance?

    LOL this looks wack compared to a setup I saw, it was a stereo thing, almost looked like headphones turned so they sat on your chest. Supposedly gamers using that got a bit better because they could stay alive better since they could feel where the shots were coming from (in at least halo 3)...

    That is just crazy, surprising that he got the data back at all.

    AMD to Launch New Radeon Series Later this Week

    I don't believe that AMD changed the naming, I call BS so if they didn't it should be the 6750 & 6770 being released (since the mainstream is supposed to be released first) because otherwise what would they call the dual GPU cards? 6950x2 and 6970x2? I like the 5k scheme and I feel they...

    GPU Fan Died :(

    Well my gpu fan died, either from washing or spinning or who knows lol. Since its essentially identical to a AC Accelero L2 Pro I am buying a fan and some sinks that normally come with it.

    Zalman VF3000N GPU Cooler

    wow, looks like just bad pcb design, if yours doesn't have that resistor there (all designs may not) you should be fine.

    Wow!!! My second Bad Azz PSU For The Low Low

    Yea same here, I prefer instant rebates, the larger the better. I still like the fact that it will end up being $60 for it even if it takes 2-3 months (thats about what it took for my corsair rebate, haven't gotten my second rebate yet) I havent seen any exceptionally crazy things that the...

    Wow!!! My second Bad Azz PSU For The Low Low

    As many of you may know I recently built my cousin a PC with an Antec TruePower 550 Watt PSU that normally goes for $119.99 with $1.99 shipping from newegg, for $60. Well I decided to go ahead and grab me a new PSU for my machine if I could get one cheap. I ended up getting a Antec EarthWatts...

    iPhone 4 82% More Prone to Accidental Screen Damage

    Surprise anyone? I kinda figured that would be the case, I know people who had an iphone 3g and some with touches. Some of them had dropped their devices many times no problem others dropped it once and insta-shatter.

    New AMD Processors (recent refresh with seemingly more coming)

    Well my cousins PC I just built is running a unlocked 555 BE and it seems to be doing fine with no weird crashes. I was thinking about the 960T maybe depending on if I could and there would be a good chance it would unlock, otherwise I would probably wait till I decide to build a secondary PC...

    New AMD Processors (recent refresh with seemingly more coming)

    Apparently AMD refreshed (part of) its lineup (how did I miss this, I hadn't seen this anywhere) but they dropped the new Phenom II X6 1075T, 3 Ghz, 3.5 Ghz Turbo, and the Phenom II X4 970 3.5 Ghz. They replaced put the 970 as the new top model and dropped prices on the rest. I am also seeing...
