Last night, I installed both an AMD Radeon HD 6870 and that new Intel NIC into my rig, boot into Windows and gasped at what I saw... reset settings. No more quick launch icons, default wallpaper, et cetera. It's a good thing I had a recent system restore point to recover to, else it would have...

In some of our recent HTPC-esque content, one thing I keep harping on about is that it's easier to build a kick-ass HTPC or home server than ever - one that's replete with lots of storage, runs quiet, and can handle any type of media you toss at it. But even so, no PC should be built in haste...

I am not familiar with Dell PCs that well, but to know if it'd fit, you'd have to take the side off and look. Get the measurements from Corsair's site, then just compare. If I had to guess, the PSU will fit, but you also need to make sure that the old PSU is even removable. I'm really, REALLY...

Compared to the ultra-long release period between Windows XP and Windows Vista, the launch of Windows 7 - which came out a mere 2.5 years after Vista - took many by surprise. It also left many of us wondering when Windows 8 would see the light of day, and if Microsoft's release cycle was going...

Being as hyped as it was, AMD's Radeon HD 6800 series launch last week didn't need to be made more exciting, but NVIDIA decided to make it so anyway by dropping the prices of its hugely popular GeForce GTX 460 and GTX 470 graphics cards. It appears now that things didn't quite end there, as...

I did end up seeing that AnandTech were one of the sites to use the card, and I admit I'm a little surprised. I'm all for including an overclocked card in testing as an additional model, but not as a replacement. I just don't see the benefit, and in the end, it's unfair to the opposing company...

As a general rule, I'd rather not talk about content posted on other sites that I don't agree with, and I'm not going to make much of an exception here. Anyone could compare their results to ours, though, and see that something is a little bit off (with Dirt 2 and Just Cause 2 especially)...

Is it a fact that NVIDIA sent out those cards for people to test with? We didn't receive one, but it's not something that would surprise me. It's common for NVIDIA to use various tactics to either help its own launches or hold back its competition's. For this one, we were encouraged to benchmark...

In case it isn't too obvious, we posted our in-depth look at AMD's Radeon HD 6800 series today, and we highly recommend you read through if you want to see where things stand with today's graphics cards. With this launch, many people are wondering how NVIDIA is going to counter-act, but in all...

Bear in mind that the Radeon HD 5770 might not get replaced this launch at all, so it's hard to claim that there's funny business going on with the naming scheme at all. As far as AMD is currently concerned, the HD 5770 will remain for a while, and unless it -is- replaced in the future, I think...

It's been a little while since we last did an "In the TG Lab", so let's fix that, alright? In most of these posts, we talk about products we just received and plan to take an in-depth look at, but this one is a little different, since it's one we won't be reviewing. Rather, it's a hardware...

It's been a long time coming, but gamers can finally relax... AMD's Radeon HD 6800 graphics cards are finally here. They may still be built upon a 40nm process, but AMD has brought a lot to the table here. We set out to see how the HD 6850 and HD 6870 compare to their closest competition...

The ATI name is no more as of this launch.

We're sure this will come as a surprise to no one, but with AMD's Radeon HD 6800 series debuting on Friday, NVIDIA has taken its stance by lowering the prices on both its GeForce GTX 460 and GTX 470 graphics cards. On the GTX 460 side of things, the cost of the 1GB models will now match the...

LOL, indeed :D

Futuremark's latest 3DMark iteration, 11, is right around the corner, and to help salivate fans, the company has just released a brand-new trailer called "High Temple". As you'd expect, there's heavy use of DirectX 11 techniques here, including tessellation. Though the trailer consists of a...

Welcome to the forums softblushcom :-) Next time you need a new PC, definitely swing by here and ask for recommendations. Pre-built machines have a slew of limitations, and most often, it's simply not that easy to upgrade, if not impossible. I dealt with this same kind of situation with my...

The love here just keeps coming, and this time it's again with Mafia II. Last night, I benchmarked some GPUs with our usual suite, and when the time came for Mafia II, the game kept crashing, and crashing. I spent about 90 minutes on it, couldn't figure out a solution, and decided to see if...
