    NVIDIA GK104 Coming Soon?

    That 3dcenter link gave me a virus pop-up from webroot anti-virus.

    Need help! 6970 looks awful on WIn7 64-bit

    Yes, I'm in native, 1920 x 1080. Here's another really WEIRD THING. I'm running an hdmi cable AND a dvi cable from my videocard to my monitor. It requires both. WTF? If I unplug one or the other - screen goes black. I'm wondering if this videocard is just toast.....

    Need help! 6970 looks awful on WIn7 64-bit

    I just built my new PC, Win7 64, a Sapphire 6970 and a Samsung P2450 monitor. Picture quality on regular windows stuff (fonts, email, text) is AWFUL. Fuzzy, blurry, hard to read. What on earth is going on here? Defective video card? I can't find a Win7 driver for that Samsung...

    I thought Plextor was supposed to be good?

    Yeah, that's where I am now. Same thing happened to my last Plextor drive. I figure one of these days it will just not work. I'd rather replace it before that happens. I just write a bitchy email to Plextor and see what they say.

    I thought Plextor was supposed to be good?

    Just had my second Plextor burner in a row fail because the door won't open. This one is less than a year old. Very frustrating. So who makes a dvd drive that has some actual quality to it?

    USB DAC vs. X-Fi Soundcard?

    I'm running an X-Fi soundcard into my Arcam amp / Harbeth speakers. For an experiment I 'borrowed' the DAC out of my main system and plugged it into a usb port and then ran the Arcam off the DAC. Sounded very good and quite comparable to the soundcard. So, why aren't soundcards...

    Alright whats the deal AMD...

    I've been a PC gamer for over 15 years and have owned a LOT of both Nvidia and AMD cards. Sorry, as much as I like the AMD hardware their driver support blows chunks. Always has. This is not news.

    What's better than a GTX 285 these days?

    Always good advice. And now Kepler's been announced..... I was just looking at cases and found a new Mid-tower from Corsair that lets you take out part of the hard-drive cage for LOOONG video cards. I hope that becomes a trend....

    What's better than a GTX 285 these days?

    Just read the Anandtech review - very interesting. The comments about 'it's all about new features and not speed increases this year' makes a lot of sense. I'm amazed my almost two year old video card is still competitive in the $300 price range. But it does look like the GTX 460 is almost...

    What's better than a GTX 285 these days?

    This is all very helpful. So what's the diff between the GTX and GTS 460 series? 465, 470? The GTX 460 looks like a reasonably sized card. I'd love to get rid of my giant gaming case and move into a mid-sized case.

    What's better than a GTX 285 these days?

    Reviews and benchmarks of new cards always compare them to recent or slightly older cards. Which means nothing to me...I know nothing about those newer cards. I wish they would put one or two 'older cards' in benchmarks for those of us who keep cards 2-3 years! So what's a good...
