    My 5770 is faster then my 275 GTX

    like anything, there is a short answer and a long answer. short answer - ati and nvidia cards play games differently. so a 5770 will beat a 275 in some games, and the 275 will beat 5770 in others.

    i was unsure as to where to post this. i am building a computer to be used with autodesk alias and was wondering what i should look for in components for this pc. i am familiar with building computers for gaming, however this pc will be used more for massive renderings. i figured before i really...

    Where can i find out how to make my own case?

    once you figure out what you want, you will realize that there are prob only a few ways to make a case that includes all of the things you want. so spend as much as time as you think is necessary on figuring out what you really want in your case.

    places to buy plexi glass locally?

    yeah but usually the max thickness is 1/4in, so it works well for window mods. however if you plan to build a case with it, it prob wont work too well.

    LAN COOL PC-K60

    i thought the same thing lol it looks like a pretty good case for the price, but i am concerned about the air flow. 1x140mm intake, with 2x140mm exhaust and a 1x120mm exhaust. i realize that the excess pressure will intake through the grating on the front, but with most of the pulling being...

    Bang for Buck

    obobski has put it perfectly. you seem to be in a point of limbo atm and you havent specified too much as to what your goal for the future is, so really no one can correctly advise you as to what you should do next. but in terms of best bang for the buck, the 4870 1gb, and gtx 260 are pretty...

    good deal on gtx260?

    i bought the same card a couple weeks ago with a couple coupons as well. i think its a better choice to go with 2 of these instead of a single 280. 2 of these stock will perform way better than a single 280. plus these are good overclockers.

    How "overkill" is a GTX 260 or HD 4870 for 1680x1050 gaming?

    if you fall into "waiting for the next gen", then you will always be waiting for the next best thing, because there will always be better things on the horizon. with that said, i suggest you go ahead and get either a 260 or 4870 now, but also make sure that you get a mobo with crossfire/sli, so...

    GTX 260 vs 4770 this drastic?

    the major difference is the amount of ram, the 4770 having 512mb and the 260 having 896mb. the benefit of the 260 comes with the higher resolutions. you can see that in the very first benchmark of farcry, 19x12 res and the 260 was 35 fps and the 4770 was 5.9 fps. but when you look at some of the...

    Mid-range single slot card

    there are plenty of 9800s that are single slot, but in terms of an upgrade i think this is about it. - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161235

    4870x2 vs 9800gx2 quad sli vs 8800gtx tri-sli

    why not keep the 4870x2, then later on buy another one and run them in crossfirex when it is needed.

    someone start a HAF thread!

    i don't think ugly is a harsh enough word to properly describe it, i think that hideous sums it up quite well though.
