    Water cooled: 290 vs 290x vs 780 classified

    I would say the 780ti Classy is what you want. Put that under water and you will have a blast. If you want more price performance then the high end isn't where you want to play in, just buy a 290 and call it a day.

    GTX 780 Ti Specifications Leaked – Full Blown Gk110 Core with 2880 SP

    I think the 780ti Classified clocked to 1400mhz or more will be the only single card around really sufficient for most games at 1440p. Selling my 2x670 in preparation to buy one.

    Gabe Newell says Linux is the future of gaming, new hardware to come out

    Got to realize at the same time either of the trackpads can be used at buttons. It's a safe bet that when you click down the trackpad it will record where on the trackpad your finger is. So depending on the game you could use one trackpad for movement and the other for face buttons, as well as...

    AMD Introduces Mantle At GPU 14

    Well that isn't comfirmed but assuming it's true. How much mantle code will they really want to put in considering it wont translate to the portion of the PC market occupied by nvidia, nor to the linux based steamOS (amd linux support is much worse than nvidia, who knows if mantle will be...

    AMD Introduces Mantle At GPU 14

    Are people really going to code for this API. OpenGL is supported by every major platform this generation. Why take the development time to create a Mantle version if it only works on windows AMD machines?

    Turning Gaming Parts to a HTPC/Living Room PC

    I'd sell off probably everything but cpu and ram there. Get a z77 board and a smaller quieter graphics card and stick it in an SG05 or similar case. Can run steam bigpicture and XMBC. Will play all your shows, manga and emulators with a great UI from xbmc and launch steam bigpicture for a...

    Can't Enable z68 ssd caching

    Yeah unpartitioned, partitioned but informatted, and formatted unpartitioned, and unformatted unpartitioned were tried. Whatever was causing it I couldn't be bothered anymore. Got the OS installed on the SSD and for what my friend is going to install there is more than enough space.

    Can't Enable z68 ssd caching

    I tried basically everything. First I had it connected when installing windows. Windows created its 100mb system partition on it and windows was installed to the HDD. No luck with that setup, regardless of whether or not I partitioned, either formatted or unformatted. Then I reinstalled windows...

    Can't Enable z68 ssd caching

    Well I gave up. For anyone else who may have this problem, I think it might have been because I was using a Pentium g645. I'm not sure that caching is supported on anything but the core series of cpu's. But I could be wrong.

    Can't Enable z68 ssd caching

    I'm in the middle of building a computer for a friend. Have the OS installed in seagate 2tb and the SSD connected but unformatted. SATA is in raid mode in the BIOS. I have the newest intel RST, and the accelerate button will not show UP! What am I doing wrong here. Ive tried countless...

    New rig. What Socket and chipset?

    Anything over 1600 is considered overclocking. As I understand it certain boards are designed to overclocking Cpu and ram and others are not. I would suggest going for 1155. Ivy bridge and z77. If going for 2011 I would suggest waiting for ivy bridge e and boards with full pcie 3.0...
