    How to start the review of the AMD Fury

    In the annals of history there comes a time at which every company out there must be defined by the success of it products. In the annals of ATi the R300 was a watershed moment. With the release of the Radeon Fury, this is the watershed moment. The moment when the turbulent forces of disparate...

    AMD Catalyst Windows 8.1 Release Preview Now Available

    Great drivers with Win 8.1 Did not experience any stuttering for the first time with CFX 7950s. Very smooth gameplay. Granted it's only with one game - GRID2, but at ultra levels, 4xMSAA, and 1440p.

    Just got my LG 29EA93-P 21:9 IPS

    Just got this yesterday, and was able to check my firmware version on the service screen: it reads firmware ver. 1.17. Did not see a rev number on the back, but I'll look again to see if I missed it. Overall, much better than even the LG IPS 23" it replaces. I see now it is Rev 00. Should I be...

    2D image quality - does anyone pay attention anymore?

    Bought a 570, saw the 2d image quality and was not impressed. took it back and got a 6950. Maybe it is just me, but I could tell a difference. the 6950 was just simply better - better focus on fonts.

    7970 WindForce numbers

    Are you running eyefinity? I see 3 monitors in your sig. If so, therein lies the problem or rather, the reason.

    asus 7950 vs gigabyte 7950

    Don't know about Asus, but the Gigabyte 7950 is quite good and cool too with three fans keeping it cool. I have been able to oc the card to 1200/1575 on 1.25v but decided to scale back to 1050/1575 on standard v. My only problem is it refuses to come out of sleep mode once in a while, and I have...

    Hyper 212+ Orientation

    North/South orientation for me. Works better, space-wise and airflow-wise in an Antec 900.

    Good TN is competitive to Cheaper IPS as intense colors ?

    TN panel quality depends on manufacturer and price range too. I got into the "IPS" is always better mode of thought and purchased the LG IPS236. Not satisfied and really wanting a 26in 16:10 affordable but good panel, I gave in and purchased the NEC EA261wm (TN panel) and compared to the LG IPS...

    How to get higher than 840/1325 setting for OC on my MSI 6950?

    if you want to know, I run mine (Sapphire) at 900/1375. I run the fan at 40% using Sapphire Trixx. I used to hit mid 80s, but with the fan at 40% now, low 60s max.

    400 dollar budget -- What do I get?

    One reason i regret buying the LG IPS263- on a black screen it has a reddish glow on bottom left and whitish glow on bottom right. But keeping it as back up anyway.

    400 dollar budget -- What do I get?

    Have you considered the NEC Multisync EA261WM? It's a bit over budget but nothing else touches it for a 26 inch TN monitor. Swivel, tilt, height, and screen rotation. High contrast and deep blacks (after calibration). Its a bit old I know, but no other monitor has made me say wow.

    LG IPS236V

    Hardly any dithering on this monitor. I've looked at smooth gradients from LCD test sites and I can't see any dithering. It is better than the Samsung PX2370. What I don't like is the AG coating; I use it at work, I don't want to see it at home. Thought I could live with it, but just can't. Its...
