    Gaming Rig and the 48hour Newegg Sale

    ;_; I am crying tears of joy, I was about 2 minutes away from pulling the trigger on 7770 instead of the 670. As for the processor, it's not a K version please look again. And thanks I'll get that cooler instead and follow the rest of the recommendations. Yeah, this past weekend our air...

    Gaming Build

    8GB should be enough for any game really, I don't see any game needing more than that, unless you are running multiple instances of one game on one machine like EVE. Maybe streaming would have high ram requirements as well, I don't know. But if all you want to do is play one game at one time...

    Mechwarrior Online, anyone looking foward?

    First: As a fellow Tekkaman fan I salute you. Now, about the game yeah, I'm looking forward to it, but I'm worried because its based off of Cry Engine 3, and my hardware might not be up to snuff to play it at a competitive level. I'm curious also about the monetization, they say they won't...

    Racing Game Recommendations

    I don't have any recommendations to give but here's a resource of good reviews. Darin and Shawn give their honest opinions on certain racing games. I tried to get into sim racing but could but here's the website: http://www.insidesimracing.tv/ They also give bi-weekly, or weekly, racing...

    Forbes: The 'Diablo III' That Never Was

    What bugs me more about D3 aside from the art are the mechanics. The introduction of stuff like cooldowns, the TP's being infinite and automatic, and the skill system. It doesn't feel like a Diablo game it feels watered down. I didn't buy retail, I played the beta though. Original teams should...

    i5-K/XFX HD6850 Tag-Team At Max Detail

    That specific card is being pricey for a 6850, for $10-15 more, you could get a 6870. And I think your cpu wouldn't have a problem keeping up with it. I'm not so sure about those specific games, but I think that 6850 is at a bad price point.

    What's up with this 6950

    Thanks for the idea, but I'm probably going to just build a new tower somewhere down the road. It's an idea though if I can grab them while the 7xxxx series are running around.

    Do you care about 3D gaming?

    Nope, I have feeling it just gets in the way.

    Understanding Video Cards

    Ahh you quoted my post before I edited. The reason I edited was I decided to research info on my own and found out the answer. The CPU is better geared to tasks that are non-repetitive, while GPU's are better at lots of repetitive tasks. Thanks for the links though. That's cool, I guess they...

    Understanding Video Cards

    So is this why a 6970 has 1536 cores? Every core inside a 6970 is handling a different part of what I see on the screen at once? Thanks for the info and correction, I'll concentrate on a+ first before delving too deep into this. Like, I have some questions that I know I wouldn't understand the...
