Haha, there IS a sign of NVIDIA. The launch date for Fermi has been announced, so let's sit back and see how things play out, shall we? ;-) (Full PC, sans monitor) Power Consumption Idle: 148 Max Load: 279 Temperatures (Room Temp: 21.9C) Idle: 39C Max Load: 82C I left this...

Once again, there seems to be no source linked back to this image. But, I still found it hilarious.

In what might be a record, AMD managed to release both the first and final normal model from its HD 5000-series in a mere five months. The final card is of course the HD 5830, which falls comfortably between the HD 5770 and HD 5850, and has the $240 price tag to prove it. So regardless of your...

Here's another great reason I feel like we should be including some Linux "benchmarks" in our processor reviews. Compiling is one area where threading is loved, and this screenshot proves it: Ironically, I was compiling a newer version of the compiler. I compiled Firefox the other day and the...

Ever since ASUS first released its Xonar line-up of cards, I knew I had to have one. But, being that I use Linux as a primary OS, I knew that the chance of me finding good support was slim. Well, that support may have taken a couple of months in the beginning to come to fruition, but since...

Thanks for the heads-up! That's quite the patch, haha.

For many first-person shooter fans, Valve is known as a company to deliver some truly incredible titles. These of course include the Half-Life, Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead series. But the way things are going, those who have ever played any of these titles are out-numbered by the sheer...

Are you looking for the most feature-rich P55-based motherboard possible? With its P55A-UD7, Gigabyte looks like its up to the challenge. In addition to the usual slew of features we've come to expect, the UD7 includes a built-in waterblock, a Silent-Pipe add-on, 24 power phases, SATA and USB...

This past December, a report was released that showed both Adobe's software and Mozilla's Firefox to be the buggiest software on the planet, where found vulnerabilities are concerned. There's little reason to look down upon Firefox, though, as it's patched on a regular basis, so it's not as...

As you can see in the screenshot above, YouTube will have an interstitial appear when users on older browser try to watch a video on YouTube. Google says the interstitial will show up indefinitely every two weeks until the user upgrades to the most recent version of their browser. Google deems...

On the desktop side, NVIDIA is heavily relying on its GF100 architecture to help rejuvenate both its desktop division and revenue, but on the mobile side, it's Optimus that looks to give the company a dominant lead in the marketplace. Given the technology, it almost seems like a given that...

I found this kind of interesting: http://gamingbolt.com/2010/02/19/just-cause-2-will-not-support-windows-xp/ It seems that Just Cause 2 won't support Windows XP. Well, not support may be poor wording, because it's not just going to not support it, but it's not going to work at all. It can be...

Just as a side note, NVIDIA had a modder build a very special PC in memory of Chris, and will be showing it off at PAX East. Not only that, but they'll be raffling it off, with all proceeds going to Chris' mom. Oh, and it happens to have two GTX 480's in SLI. ;-)...

If there's ever been a huge amount of doubt surrounding an upcoming product, NVIDIA would have to take gold with the help of its Fermi architecture. There's been a couple foiled starts, and reason to believe that GF100 might have some issues that are proving very difficult for the Santa...

You might know Hades as being the God of the Underworld, but after taking a look at this chassis, you might begin to think he was the God of the "Meshworld". Yes, there's a lot of mesh used here, along with stark angles, creative lighting and a smart design that delivers fantastic cooling...

Last summer, it became known that the European Union was forcing its way into altering Windows 7 in order to make sure Microsoft was being "fair" to all of its users. Of course, I am of the opinion that the EU simply likes to waste tax-payer money by targeting non-existent issues, but...

Ten years ago, you wouldn't have pictured a game's development cost to exceed that of many Hollywood movies, but today, we're starting to see that happening. Many high-profile games do exceed the budgets of moderate movies out there, and it's no surprise. Both a movie and a game have...

There are a lot of technologies out there I feel that I couldn't go without, but there are few that compare to wireless. Wires are just no fun. I can't recall the number of times I'd move my feet under a desk and end up hauling the keyboard or mouse right off the tray. It's aggravating...

Yup, games take up more than ever. Installed Alien vs. Predator the other day, and it takes up 16GB! But, I think when you take scaling into consideration, even a 16GB game isn't that bad, given our 1TB and higher hard drives. I remember purchasing Duke Nukem 3D upon release, and at 30MB, I...

I have no doubt it would come close. The yield of those memory chips must be low, and because their densities are so huge, the cost would likewise be high. Look at 4GB DRAM modules compared to 2GB. The prices exponentially go up as you cram more storage into the same space. I am giving a simple...
