    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 SLI Performance Follow-up @ [H]

    WoW, the SLI numbers are very nice. Looks like 460 SLI is the way to go! I mean upwards of %20 performance over the 480 for less money? Unless you have the money to go 480 SLI ($800+) you just cannot loose with 460 SLI! Looking forward to the 768/1g at lower resolution comparisons.

    GTX460 Reviews

    Any of these reviews focus on SLI performance? Because if it's as good as the 480's SLI performance, than SLI 460 1g may be the way to go. Edit: Nevermind http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=4467007&postcount=171 According to that, the regular clocked 460 in SLI performs...

    Upgrading a GTX260?

    I don't know yet. I wouldn't say 'don't even think about it, go 480' simply because if it's SLI boost is as high as the 480 (90%+) and the 460 has crazy overclocking potential, you could very well be able to get 480 performance at 80% the price by going SLI 460 1g. If that is indeed the case it...

    Are the new samsung LED TVs O-LED?

    IE are they organic LED? I know that O-LED tv's were to start coming into the market around this time (09-10) and I've been seeing their commercials but it doesn't state that directly and I actually cant find the information in a google search for some reason. I am a big Samsung HDTV fan, I...

    Best 7.1ch HDMI receiver under $350

    I'm using a Pioneer 1018AH myself, and it's absolutely fantastic, but I didn't get it for ~350 like the guy above. That's an awesome deal. Mine was about $500.

    Feel like an idiot asking but, how to display Blu-Rays at 16x10 instead of 16x9?

    This seems like it should be an easy thing to figure out but I'm pretty new to this Home Theater stuff and I cant figure out why my Blu-Ray player isn't playing movies in 16x10, which it seems every single high end HDTV has as standard these days. At least my Samsung LN52A650 is, as is my...

    OS X on laptop, Windows on desktop?

    The answer to that is very simple. It's very hard to get Windows XP on a notebook/laptop, and those companies that offer it, require upwards of $200 extra for XP Pro. So pretty much all Laptops come with Vista Home Basic, which not only blows, but it's not remotely user friendly, let alone easy...

    Connecting my PC to my HDTV via the Receiver?

    Heya all I'm wondering how I would hook my PC up to my home theater setup and my HDTV. The computer's video card has an HDMI output, which will make things easier but I'm not really sure where to go from there. This is my setup; Pioneer VSX-1018AH reciever with a Polk Audio RM6880 5.1 sound...

    Anyone stuck between a 4870x2 and GTX295?

    I've been using a 9800Gx2 since late spring when I built my current machine. I'm giving serious thought to selling it to a friend who's been telling me he'd buy it when I buy a new one, and getting a GTX 295, the early reviews are showing some significant performance gains over the 9800 Gx2. :)...

    Need information on building my home theater.

    Heh I was actually thinking the same, bookshelf speakers, after doing some more research. Hard to find a built 'set' of 5.1 or so, so buying separately might be the way to go. I'll take your recommendation into account.

    Need information on building my home theater.

    Hmm I wasn't thinking of spending that much on a reciever but it appears if I want one with HDMI output to speakers looks like I'll need to after all. The Pioneer 1018AH-K is indeed very nice for around $400. Any recommendation on speakers? My total price range is about 2.5 - 3 grand so good...

    Need information on building my home theater.

    Heya all I'm gonna be setting up kind of home theater consisting of a Samsung LN46A650, Samsung Blue-Ray P1500, Bose Acoustimass 6 series III and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a solid 5.1 receiver, preferably on newegg for under $300. Right now I'm looking at the Pioneer VSX-818V-K. It...

    GTX 280 better then 9800Gx2?

    I recently build a high end system with a 9800Gx2 in it and soon after the 2xx series hit. The price on the 280 was so high I didn't think about checking performance comparisons to my BFG 9800Gx2 OC card. But today I read the prices are dropping from $600+ to $399, and I figure since I just...
