    Gaming Resolutions

    No matter what resolution a 16:10 aspect ratio is superior. Friends don't let friends buy cheap 1080p panels.

    How long until high end gpu's are external?

    I'm saying there is a practical limit to allowable heat flux in small-die silicon chip packages. We are approaching the edge of what ordinary cooling solutions can accommodate. That's why I said "Not many people".

    How long until high end gpu's are external?

    He's right, and it has a lot to do with basic physics. Thermal limitations on chips have increased only as our ability to design, manufacture, and operate those chips to more extreme tolerances have. You can only go so far though. It's fine to design more efficient cooling systems capable of...

    How long until high end gpu's are external?

    I expect desktop form factors will cease to be relative at all once the shift to mobile computing is complete. I'm predicting in 12-15 years there won't even be much of a consumer market for video cards or desktop sized components at all.

    Today's lesson: Thermodynamics 101

    Is a 1-2°C drop in case temperature worth the risk of sucking insects, small pets or fingers into your computer?

    Today's lesson: Thermodynamics 101

    Do you hold and "advanced" degree from Liberty University because this is a funny sentence: Um... no. The first law deals specifically with conservation of energy. You're thinking of the second law which states (basically) that in a closed system entropy tends to increase over time. One...

    Girl deletes her boyfriend's WoW characters.

    Just because some geek thinks its cool to throw away his parents money on fake property, doesn't mean what he's buying has any actual value.

    Of course not. I'm just bitter and giving MMOs a hard time.

    Girl deletes her boyfriend's WoW characters.

    This comparison doesn't hold any water at all. A 69' Camaro is real property and has real value. Your WoW character is literally worthless. If you've spent years in front of a computer and your most cherished possession is a lvl 80 Ork paladin with legendary armor or whatever you might as well...

    Girl deletes her boyfriend's WoW characters.

    If that's real that is kind of fucked up but I don't feel bad for the guy, she's doing him a favor. MMOs are the worst thing to happen to an entire generation and their potential for normal, healthy social interaction. We're going to be left with a population of overweight, insecure...

    Sapphire

    If you're not gaming at 2560x1600 or in eyefinity with that card then yea, you wasted some money. That thing is overpriced to begin with, 2X 5870 2GB would have been a better purchase.

    Upgrade from 8800GT for StarCraft 2?

    Your next upgrade should be a larger monitor (1920x1200 at least), not a video card.
