    ATI wins Again

    True, but why would you? It's not like 480 is as fast compared to 5870 as the 5870 is compared to a class lower like the 5850. It's a marginal performance increase for a huge step up in price. The problem with losing at price performance at every stage is that your marginal absolute...

    Was Charlie Right?

    To be honest it was always fairly unlikely that someone would have made such specific predictions on the basis of nothing. I don't understand why ATI vs Nvidia is so tribal. Ultimately a graphics card is just a piece of machinery, and neither company gives a damn about you or your loyalty or...

    GTX 260 SLI or Single GTX 295?

    Neither. Better cards are available at lower price. There is no rational reason to do either of those things.

    Unsure of what to do, 5770?

    The best thing to do is not upgrade. The jump won't be a useful enough increase for anything to be worth the cost, unless money is nothing to you. If you are going to upgrade anyway then 4850 crossfire is probably the best option. Fairly cheap, and doesn't waste the old card. On the other hand...

    New Desktop Build

    Danny Bui: Thanks. I'll see if I can find that cooler on the british sellers. Strange, that wasn't deliberate. The cheap one was the one I meant to add, so I guess you can take 120 or so off the total price. True. It seems the cheapest P55 boards include CF anyway, so it's not really a problem.

    New Desktop Build

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming, web browsing, university work (ie. MS Office, Matlab, C++) 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? No hard limit. I'd like it to last 2-3 years, but I'm not interested in paying for things...

    1156? Help me justify its existance

    Regardless of the technological benefits of 1156, Intel has made it fairly clear that in future the only chips that are going to work on 1366 are the waste of money 'extreme' versions of i7 and 6 core processors that will likely cost huge sums and have no application outside of professional CAD...

    New 1st Time Gaming Build $1800-2000

    Don't listen to this guy. The 32" TV he thinks you should get has lower resolution than the 24"er despite being larger. The screen is worse quality, the pixels are just further apart. This is fine for a television because you don't sit right next to it, but on a computer monitor it will be very...
