Hm, well I wouldn't recommend a second 4870, the performance of two of those in Crossfire should fall close to a 5870 give or take. It seems kind of silly but this trend still seems to be in effect, after 2-3 generations it's just not worth grabbing a second used card for SLI/Xfire unless you...

That layout looks awfully like the old SNES gamepads....

I had to build a few Sandy Bridge systems for people already, and they were wanting 8GB configs. So I went to Newegg and sorted by 8GB 1600MHz kits... the cheapest 8GB memory kit is 2 x 4GB. There were a dozen other 2 x 4GB modules kits within $10 of those... so I think any price premiums that...

As long as they were still turning a profit, I don't see why they should leave their founding business. As a recent Samsung article points out, DDR4 is around the corner and prices are going to jump as they typically do for newer technologies in shorter supply. If they were going to go negative...

What happened was NVIDIA released a set of beta drivers, and someone discovered they did not disable PhsyX when an AMD GPU was detected. It was either an oversight or done only for their beta testers, but at first NVIDIA said they were going to pull it. After the resulting uproar they left the...

They certainly are more difficult, but I still hear about them! There were two or three bits of malware that exploited random program vulnerabilities to hijack certain phones last year, iPhone, Android, so on.. Lets see... something about a fake anti-virus program that itself was a virus...

The ASUS Mars did, but the costs were really high. It was still cheaper for users to buy a pair of 480's, although I guess if they absolutely had only one PCIe slot to use...

Its because they won a fair number of their plethora of suits, and many companies didn't want to even mess with them and simply signed & paid for licensing agreements. It's unfortunate, but the US patent system is just going to make this more of the status quo. Technically the memory...

Seriously, you aren't kidding. The image in that one URL looks exactly like some nuclear reactor's I've seen images of, except just vertical and done in honeycomb. Now that photo looks more realistic as a nuclear fission device than many movie props. :D

That's freaking insane. Unless their core business was just not doing well at all it seems unusual to just drop it because they found a short-term "star" rated market. NAND prices can be about as volatile as DRAM prices, so even that reasoning doesn't make sense to me. I totally understand...

This possibly means the drive's boot sector or Master File Table was corrupted, as without any file tables the 1's and 0's on the platter are meaningless. Your best bet now is to try some data recovery software and see if anything can rebuild the MFT & partition(s) that are on the drive. Do not...

Thanks for the very detailed, well-organized post GFreeman! :)

Hmm, is EVGA releasing another custom-built PSU model to be sold specifically with this card? ;)

I wasn't even aware Sapphire had LGA775 anything! I had seen Sapphire's AMD boards, but given AMD's condition in the last couple years now it's not a healthy market segment with any margins left to easily develop for. There's not much point in designing a high-end board board that would...

It's amazing it hasn't become more prolific already, to me. With any smartphone using both apps and featuring built-in social networking, document viewing, and full web browsing, it's only a matter of time now before it starts to take off. A more challenging question is if it means once...

That is crazy! Keep the same CPU, but upgrade the motherboard? At first it seems like a novel idea, but then I'm not as sure... Unlike their AGP/PCIe or DDR2/DDR3 boards which had both connections on the same board, this only has the LGA1156 socket, which unless I am mistaken doesn't work...

As Rob mentioned in the article Gigabyte hasn't totally changed their motherboard designs, the lower end models still retain the blue/white color schemes. Gigabyte is seriously amping up the aesthetics & presentation of their various models though. It is very unfortunate Gigabyte doesn't...

Very interesting Sapphire is expanding their role in the motherboard market... or that they are only NOW launching an X58 motherboard. Not the best timing there!

Hey Unregistered. Do the parts match what Rory shows in his photos?? If so that microcontroller PCB should pop off if pulled straight back away from the drive, and reveal standard SATA ports. If might take a little, gentle wriggling side-to-side before it slides off, but again be careful not...

Hence why we need a system that allows us to return the game, but allows the game dev to "delete" or null active keys for the returned game. If that sounds like Steam, then that's because it probably is exactly what Steam is capable of doing. Unfortunately Valve doesn't have any sort of...
