    Nvidia Exec Says Consoles Will Die

    Without the infrastructure in the US, cloud based gaming will not take over for a long long time. There's still a very high need by those without high speed internet access. I see a future were "consoles" will disappear and will just be an app on screen devices. If you have a system with...

    Help me pick from one of these two cards

    7950 either will satisfy your gaming needs, but if you go multi monitor in the future, the 7950 will work best for that setup and it's larger memory + bandwidth will help with multi monitor gaming as well

    Considering getting a new card - Will my CPU still be strong enough!!

    there's a need to overclock it now. 2.8ghz is too slow and the chip can handle to overclock easily. it should oc to 3.6ghz on air, stock voltage unless you have some crappy case with no good cooling solution.

    Heavy Gamer budget graphics card

    I'd suggest the HD 7770 as well. If you can, get the 7850 if you can find one at a decent price over there

    Best sub-$100 Video Card Suggestion?

    7770 is what you want if you're looking f/ a brand new gpu. it's a solid cheap gpu.

    Question regarding upgrading just vid card or my entire rig

    i'd recommend corsair, seasonic, enermax, pc power & cooling, antec (neo, earthwatts models), ocz, silverstone brands. you want something that's about 500-600watts right now since power demands are lowering f/ gpu's now a days.Avoid cheap brands. They will break or give you issues...

    5870 to 660ti

    true. i was assuming it would be on par just because he had a 5870. could be mistaken, but it's still a good upgrade strictly on a gpu vs gpu basis.

    waiting hashwell...

    Haswell will be my new upgrade path. Was going to do Ivy Bridge, but there's no point in wasting $ on a "tick". I'm rocking an i5 750 @ 3.8-4ghz and it's been great at gaming performance. Haswell should be a nice upgrade for me.

    Who is still using intel Core 2 duo processors for gaming?

    I have a e8400 in my living room tv pc and it's showing it's age. i've had it up to 4ghz before and it's a decent performer, but it really does struggle with modern games that love quad cores. i never use it anymore. play everything on my i5 750 @ 3.8ghz rig.

    5870 to 660ti

    it's more than worth it, especially for the $200 you paid for it. the 660ti is much more capable in dx11 games. the 5870 was no slouch, but if you were encountering any slowdowns, the 660ti will solve all of that easily.

    Current bang for buck king(s)?

    I don't see the 660 Ti being a best bang for the buck at all when it's the same price as an HD 7950. It'd say the true best bang for the buck right now is the 7870 if you can get one for $250 or below and after that it's the HD 7950 w/ boost if you can grab one for $300-325...
