I was building a PC earlier with a mid-tower that had a bottom-mounted PSU setup and noticed that my old (2007) Rosewill PSU's cables were almost all too short to run through the "cable management" openings around back and still have enough length to connect to the motherboard. As a result, I...

You're right, after doing more research the 750 Ti doesn't seem to be the best "bang for your buck." Instead, it seems like the 260X is really better all around. Not only is it $30-40 cheaper, but in recent benchmarks it seems to be beating the 750 Ti in the majority of games (even in Far Cry...

I'm on a tight budget, therefore I'm only going to buy what I need. Since I already have a case, that's totally out of the question. I won't be buying an SSD just yet, either, because those are far more expensive than HDDs (per-gigabyte) and aren't at all essential. I do appreciate you taking...

So right now I'm in a pretty crappy situation. I lost my gaming PC about a year ago (it's a long story) and all I have left is a cruddy laptop that struggles to pull 25 FPS even in Half-Life 2 at the lowest possible settings at 640x480. Yeah, it's that bad. However, the good news is that I...

Excellent drivers! And ShadowPlay is fantastic as always.

ATi Radeon 9600 XT My first ever well-performing AGP video card that powered every PC game I had with no problems and finally allowed me to max out C&C Generals, one of the most popular new PC games around that time. I later upgraded to an ATi Radeon 9800 Pro but still have special memories of...

This is typical of console ports in which mouse movement is not always the smoothest or implemented all that well. And yes, I noticed this. Even in the singleplayer mission in which you must snipe the guys only when you hear the thunder, I noticed that if I tried to line my sights up perfectly...

So because it has the word "Rosewill" on it automatically means it's trash? Sorry but I can't help but think you're basing your opinion on what you've heard and not what is truthful about it. If it's so horrible, why do the Rosewill PSU's have mostly good reviews on Newegg? And why do I see...

The peak efficiency says "> 70%" so I'm assuming that isn't too bad. Also the combined +12v rail is 36A (18v+18v) so I'm assuming I'd be fine then? The only thing that slightly concerns me is that the peak efficiency but I'm going to assume that won't be too much of a problem.. but please...

Hey guys.. haven't been here in a while but I have a hardware question that I figured I'd go ahead and ask. I'll try to keep the story as short as possible .. Earlier this year (in early June actually) I was planning on getting a 8800 GTS (640MB) and a new power supply to power it. I...

For anyone still doubting the graphics .. if these videos from the MP beta don't shut you up, you're hopeless - this is about as good as graphics get. http://stage6.divx.com/user/oritxupolite/video/1625674/Crysis-demo-720p...

My thoughts pretty much .. I was hyped for this game until I started seeing some of the gameplay videos and reading opinions on just how so-so the game really is (coming from those playing the beta). I've pretty much lost all interest now.. it's just another Battlefield-type game and one...

Hey guys, I'm going to try and sum up my situation as quickly as possible. I was originally shooting for the BFG 8800 GTS 640MB deal they had at Best Buy for $316 several weeks ago, but I got screwed out of that deal and I'm now searching for another option. Before I got screwed over, I...

Apparently "Vederman" is trying to cover it all up on PC Gamer's website.. http://pcgamer.com/archives/2007/06/so_about_my_pen.html I still don't quite buy it. He's acting as if everyone just "didn't get" his article, but whatever. :rolleyes:

Yeah, they should use PCI-Express.
