    Is my R9 290 dying? 30-50% drop in performance unless I restart a few times.

    You know when I got a 290 not long ago and decided to benchmark my system using the unigine valley benchmark. I was getting a very low score. Turned out that even though I had "use application settings" in the anti-aliasing mode set, I also had the anti-aliasing method set to super sampling and...

    phones are just getting too big, what happened to small phones?!

    I see which dimension you are referring to now. I do know what you mean about the size and specs. Bring in cost and there are few options available. Xperia U works fine for my modest needs, only bad thing is sony's descision to compress photo down to 10% of their native size. Look OK on...

    phones are just getting too big, what happened to small phones?!

    To the poster above, have you considered the samsung galaxy ace 2 http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_ace_2_i8160-4559.php or the htc one v? http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_v-4575.php I was looking for a small phone as others clearly are and due to price, went with the Xperia U...

    Tomshardware and their flawed benchmarking methods

    So, is the OP going to clarify his position? Also, tom's hasn't been owned or run by the original guy for how many years? I don't think you can find a hardware site that isn't ridiculed by others so this sort of thing is backward to say the least.

    Overlooked RPGs

    Without knowing the sort of thing you have played, how would we know what you have missed? Oh and I gave the demo a go, didn't play it much IIRC.

    Poll: Have video games driven you to violence?

    121 people are lying. Unleash the inner beast people, it is far healthier in the long run.

    Poll: Have video games driven you to violence?

    I was practically an angel before games. Now, I run people down with my car, hack them to death and eat their flesh.

    Adult 6970 discussion Thread

    I don't think you can just "undercut" the competition. Both comanies have to make a profit so we shall see who gets the lowest. Also, ATI don't and haven't had to beat nvidia's cards for the top spot for a wee while now so why should they change. It is not going to get them anything of worth...

    Adult 6970 discussion Thread

    WorldExclusive, you and others keep forgetting that the 6970 is not the top card in ATI's line up. They do not have to say how high, when someone like you tells them to jump. They will do things how they want and I doubt they will have trouble selling cards.

    Let the 6970 Rumors Begin

    This is why price is a far better comparison, single gpu, double gpu and all that nonsense can be forgotten. Just look at the closest 2 cards price wise and compare.
