    Why It's Still Not Cool to Admit You're a Gamer

    550ti sli on dx11 games?

    Get this card: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-PCI-Express-TWIN-FROZR-II/dp/B004JLNZXU/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&m=A3EEXTUSWX65VP&s=generic&qid=1338294692&sr=1-6 GTX 560 Ti $159.99 is just as fast as GTX 550 Ti SLI without the hassle of two cards. That is a waste of money, space and power. As far as...

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    If anyone has a LGA775 cooler they can donate for the cost of shipping or a few bucks I would really like one for a buddy's budget DIII build. I have spare stuff I can swap as well.

    LGA 2011 Motherboard, which one is better?

    2011 and 1155 has the same amount of life. One is a mainstream/gaming platform and the other is for the enthusiast/workstation platform. LGA2011 6 core with 64/32GB RAM and intend to run 2+ GPU's. LGA1155 is gaming orientedand you would want a 3770k or 3570K, 8/16GB RAM, and you are limited to a...

    New CPUs for 1155?

    I never said that your 3570K wasn't great for gaming. Someone else in the thread was complaining that Ivy wasn't what it was marked up to be. If you read my wall of text completely I simply stated that after the amount of performance you can get from a SB chip is astounding and that Ivy Bridge...

    8gb, 16gb or 32gb?

    I do some Photoshop work of my own and 8GB is more than enough. TBH some people in here are starting to sound like Geek Squad. I guess it's just me and how many times I have had to explain to people that in not all cases adding RAM is all you need to do to improve system performance and that...

    New CPUs for 1155?

    I have seen Vega's results, but simple logic and this data proves otherwise: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Ivy_Bridge_PCI-Express_Scaling/23.html PCI-E 3.0 x16/x8-x8 SLI/X-Fire is going to be a common multi gpu configuration. This amount of bandwidth is the same as a PCI-E 2.0...

    New CPUs for 1155?

    On a 2.0 X8 slot, sure. But a x8 3.0 slot is the same as a x16 2.0 slot. Therefore I don't believe that there is a card that fully saturates a 2.0 x16 slot or x8 3.0. Can't argue with that :) Ivy Bridge is not a flop. I don't know where you got that from. Intel releases processor on a...

    Asus Gtx 690 in stock go go go

    I kind of agree with your assumption NKD but you cannot easily come to that conclusion about a few hundered bucks being insignificant to someone buying a GTX 690. I would think in just over half of the potential GTX 690 suitors would pay more than MSRP and do something like purchase the GTX 690...

    Seagate 3TB External $129.99

    This is a good deal, even without Staples. There is no reason not to get a Staples coupon. I have used sites like the ones J Macker suggested in the past with success. I think the last time I did was about two years ago when I got a suprisingly nice E-Machine 23" 16:9 LCD for $129.99 - $25 off...

    Asus Gtx 690 in stock go go go

    GTX 670 SLI blah blah blah. Listen guys, some people have deeper wallets then us and money is not an object to them. They just want the best available regardless of the price. This means an i7 3960X and maybe one or two of these bad boys. I don't even think two of these in SLI are as fast as...

    I think this man covered all bases. The gentlemen who contradicted himself should take the liberty of uninstalling Internet Explorer.

    8gb, 16gb or 32gb?

    Gah cmon people I know this is [H] but lets be reasonable for just a moment. Realize most gamers would benefit very marginally from 16GB memory over 8GB. I would rather put the $50 towards the deals on SSDs and improve a component in my system that will make a significantly positive impact on...

    NVIDIA GeForce 301.42 WHQL Drivers

    A video or some system specifications would help. I have been running a valiant GTX 560 Ti 1GB underwater and it has been more stable that I could ask for and is quite the performer on my 1080P monitor when I get the GPU core cranked to 960mhz. Maybe I'll be adventurous and pursue a stable 1ghz...
