    AMD's Morphological Anti-Aliasing

    I posted a comment in the 10.10 thread. Just adding that I've got it working on my 5850 in HL2, Medieval Total War 2 and Borderlands. Don't have anymore time to continue farting around at this stage due to study.

    Catalyst 10.10 Released

    Anyone else got MAA working? I've got it working on my 5850 and it is pretty damn sweet. Just tried Half Life 2 and Medieval Total War. 8x AA with virtually no performance hit is awesome. Only thing is text looks a bit ugly. I'm thinking this will be awesome for people running eyefinity as...

    PETA Takes On Dodge and Comes Up Empty

    I'm an environmental scientist and some of my work is directly related to studying and protecting various animal species endangered or otherwise. I hate PETA with a passion. They are completely misleading and openly lie about anything that fits their agenda. I agree with some of the points...

    Disappointed: GTX 260 to 5850

    I think your expectations for Directx11 were a little high. You get some more rounded corners with tesselation and if the game has been programmed for it some more efficient use of your hardware which will increase raw performance. Because consoles are so dominant these days programmers...

    Let's talk about the Radeon 5830

    At the prices you are quoting the 5830 is you best bang for buck by a big margin. As others have said with a half decent overclock you will be running at stock 5850 performance. From what I've read a 5770 runs at half the performance of a 5870. If you can get your 5830 overclocked near a stock...

    What game caused your helli$h descent into computer building?

    Originally I hassled my dad to upgrade from our Tandy TX 1000 286 to a 486DX 66 so I could play DooM at home and not just at my uncles house who had the nirvana set up of three 386/486s for lan play. Prior to this I'd been playing awesome games like King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Obitus...

    Gigabyte HD5850 OC

    You're a champ! That has done the trick nicely. Back down to 157/300 now.

    Gigabyte HD5850 OC

    Just thought I'd post my 2c for anyone thinking of buying one. I have mine running at 925Mhz core and 1200Mhz memory. There's no way to overvolt this card sadly. It never gets above around 50-55 degrees under Bad Company 2 load and I think the card is very quiet although this is highly...

    Gigabyte R585OC Video Card Review @ [H]

    Yeah, some people mention this. It is definitely a tolerance thing. I find the card quiet as a mouse as do others but like yourself some claim this is a loud card.

    Gigabyte R585OC Video Card Review @ [H]

    This is actually a pleasing card. You need to download the latest version 5 bios and use a program like afterburner to overclock it. The problem is in 2d mode the card doesn't draw down enough on power usage and clock speeds. Even with this 5th bios revision it's still a bit meh. I also get way...

    Did I make a wrong choice by going phenom x2 550?

    This may be of some interest to you in regards to Bad Company 2 and CPU scaling. http://www.techspot.com/article/255-battlefield-bad-company2-performance/page7.html Keep in mind if you are like most people and only have a single video card the differences in performance between a quad or...
