    I want......

    Well there shouldn't really be any manufacturing issues since its the same process size as the 5k series. Although the die size is quite a bit larger, it's still far from the 480s own 529mm die with 435mm being the supposed size for the 6870. It went up from 334mm on the 5870, so up 100mm but...

    I want......

    According to an article at http://techreport.com/articles.x/18682, " In theory, the GTX 480 is, amazingly, slower at texturing than the GTX 285, but Nvidia expects the GF100 to deliver higher real-world texturing performance thanks to some texture cache optimizations that should reduce...

    I want......

    I got them from the wikis but I mean pixelwise the 6870 is more powerful than a 5970 as well as bandwidth wise and I bet it will cost less than the 5970 did, and with an OC on it if they OC like the 5k series it may get fairly close to a 5970 Texelwise.

    I want......

    Wow.... this is insane if these are true specs a 6870 will be more powerful than a 5970 AND use less power and a 6970 will be insanely over the top powerful :eek: Looks like AMD is gonna murder Nvidia as of now. How can Nvidia catch up? They are gonna be late to push cards out yet again since...

    New PC Build (Not for me)

    Eh from reviews it seems like a good board maybe not the best overclocker but decent and since it was local there were not many choices :P Personally I would like to get the ASUS Crosshair IV Extreme board that has the lucid chip on it.

    New PC Build (Not for me)

    Its actually $347.27 after shipping and tax, the mobo and cpu were local so no shipping but tax, the mobo was also $40 off. The psu was on sale for $90 but till the 27th it has a $30 off coupon the 8600GT is mine (I am building it for my cousin) so I sold em my old DDR3 and 8600 for cheap. The...

    Need a decent (preferably smallish) case

    Well, preferably it needs to be under $50. What would be nice is one that looks similar to a stereo receiver but I am open to pretty much anything, I just don't wanna go get some $30 case and find out its a serious pain to put anything in it. and it really only needs like 2 120mm fans one up...

    Skullcandy TiTAN Earbuds

    I hate apple style headphones, more commonly known as Earbuds but I love the In-Ear Buds. They block sound very well and sound better as well as they are much more comfortable (for me).

    Zalman VF3000N GPU Cooler

    Nice looks wicked, I wonder if the version for the 5870 supports a 5750? If not does anyone know a decently priced 5750 GPU cooler?

    Intel vs AMD 2011

    Looking at Intels specs for their sandy bridge CPUs vs AMDs bulldozer architecture it seems AMD may actually catch up OR even surpass Intel coming in 2011 I mean according to info I can find on the sandy bridge CPUs they look to be essentially the same as the current i7s but with a basic Intel...

    Skullcandy TiTAN Earbuds

    Well they finally arrived and they are AWESOME, I cant believe how much better they sound. The reason they took so long to get here was because Fedex, EVEN THOUGH I ORDERED 2 DAY SHIPPING decided to ship them in technically 4 days since they were shipped out the 20th but if you don't include...
