    Why Ad-Blocking Hurts the Sites You Love

    Using ad blocker for web sites like Techgage is like using a metro (Train or other public transport) without a ticket :)

    Dirt 2 Due Out this Week, DirectX 11 Goodies Included

    I used my Sapphire coupon. Game is not bad at all... I took opportunity to test Eyefinity with two 22" and one HP LP2475W 24" LCD and with all graphic at maximum, except AA, it goes over 30 fps, according to game benchmark! (That was 3 x 1600x1200) I don't have steering wheel right now, so...

    Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower

    I'm mostly commercial photographer, but as money is always issue, i shoot whatever i can sold :) I was Minolta fan in analog age, but later Canon simply offered better value and I switch in no time! Actually i really get lucky with selling my old minola cameras and lenses because lot of...

    Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower

    Actually, i shoot assembling of a new PC for a stock photos :) There are not so much good photos of PC building process around. I use every opportunity to earn some money.... And this was really good opportunity. All hardware i bough looks really good on photos! I will have to remove...

    Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower

    Of course it's mine, as i told you, i found your website when i was searching for Lightroom benchmarks! And as you can see, I decide to move in and stay :) So, i think that every member of the forum community should contribute somehow! I'm working almost 14 years as a photographer &...

    Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower

    Hm... :) I saw photos of VX550 on the Internet, but i have HX850 :) Check my photo once again, this time with pop up disabled :) I'm not that cheap and my PC brings me food on the table, so i must choose wisely!

    Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower

    It is still little bit early for fair user experience. I put only one hard disk and had problem with ATX12V 8-4 pin power cable, to route it trough holes at a back of motherboard plate, as i saw people was able to do even with VX550 from Corsair. So i should give it another try and also put...

    Hey, I'm so sorry my friend, really ridiculous ad :) But, i live at totally different location, so i guess it have something with IP address and fact that yours trigger some really bad ads :) It's really hard to sell anything here in eastern Europe so we mostly get DV lottery (green card)...

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X

    Thanks Rob, Really nice tool. Here is another tool, this time from MSI! http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm I OC my 5870 a little bit. Must emphasis that I don't have too much experience in graphic cards overclocking, so this is my first try. My last VGA card was Ati...

    AMD Athlon II X4 620 - Quad-Core at $99

    Thanks, too bad for L3 cache, cause i wanted to use this PC for some 3D rendering too. But OK, i can use it few months more until i chose my next CPU/MoBo combo. I need another "standard" 4-core PC anyway, so this cpu/mobo/mem will get a new home easily. I know voltage is little above, but i...

    AMD Athlon II X4 620 - Quad-Core at $99

    Finally... This is my best bet. It is maybe possible to go up for a few dozen MHz, but I'm not sure is it worth... I unlock L3 cache in Bios, but it was not stable to continue to windows. So, not too much lucky with that. Except if there are no some way of enabling better L3 cache...

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X

    I thought that you have to flash bios of your 5870 if you want to go over 900MHz? Is it true?

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X

    Hi Rob, as usually, nice review. Can't wait to unbox mine and build whole PC! I bought first edition of Sapphire 5870. Vapor-x looks nice, but I’m just wondering that in your graphs, somewhere is reference card faster for a few frames? But for example, this is really huge: in GTA IV 1680 x...

    AMD Athlon II X4 620 - Quad-Core at $99

    Until yesterday, DDR3 3x2 kits, (OZC for example) was very “cheap”. I thought to go with two sets, totaling 12 GB or RAM. Now, at last in my country, DDR3 prices went up for some 30-40% and it’s not so cheap any more. Also, I’m thinking about SSD drive, I would also like small OCZ Vertex RAID 0...

    AMD Athlon II X4 620 - Quad-Core at $99

    Hi Rob, thanks for another great review. To be honest, i was amazed by OC results, as this little proc is really powerful for that money. i750 or i7 860/930 are both faster but more than double and almost 3x expensive with better Mobo, which allows you to go over 4.0GHz and I really...

    Intel Core i7-870 & i5-750 - Nehalem for the Mainstream

    Hi Rob, great test, as usually! I must emphasis again that I read your reivew first, because of Lightroom and multimedia tests! I think that I will shop for my i7 860 in a week or two :) I just hope that OC will be nice, as i7 920 was! It's really incredible what you can get for that...

    A Testing Hypothesis

    Yes Rob, but that is a hobby than, not a business. Business must bring some income. Your site is really great, but you have only 2 or 3 banners on your home page. (I'm not sure about that Logisys, can't click on it.) And we, readers are well trained by now to read between the lines. If...

    A Testing Hypothesis

    My experience: I was part time reviewer for one tech (paper) magazine, where I use to shoot photos and make some design. We (they) had few policies. Who don't advertise, can't have product reviewed. And if we really don't like something, we just return that. But, as our market is...
