    R9 290X goes toe-to-toe with GTX 980 Ti on DirectX 12

    I would be interested in it, but it's not a driving factor. There's a lot of discussion about this benchmark and a few people suggesting that it exposes hardware level limitations in the current generation of Maxwell GPUs. While this game may not be all that important, I do think that these new...

    R9 290X goes toe-to-toe with GTX 980 Ti on DirectX 12

    This news is quite distressing in light of my recent decision to finally upgrade from my i5 2500k and HD6870. I have a 980ti on the way, and I'm wondering if I should return it, get a 290x, and wait out the storm. I'm mostly happy with how my 6870 performs and while price really isn't the...

    Three Hours with Id's 'Rage'

    While playing it at QuakeCon, I noticed someone die. I also noticed that while I was playing, at some point a voice informed me that some gizmo in my suit had fully recharged. I'm 99% sure that it refers to the defibrillator mechanic. Also, it's very easy to die, resurrect, and immediately die...

    Gaming Build Critique

    Gentlemen: Thanks for your advice. I've read through this post and have adjusted my build in the following ways: I have switched to the suggested MSI MoBo. I have swapped RAM as suggested. I have changed the case to a Corsair 600TM. It's about the same price, but it looks so damn nice...

    Gaming Build Critique

    Hello, my name is Jonathan and I'm a big fan of HardOCP and have lurked here for a long time, even before I registered. After more than three years, it's finally time for a PC upgrade after attending the Texas GamExperience and QuakeCon where I won a fair amounts of prizes. I figure I'll just...

    Jittery Performance in 3d Apps

    Hi, thanks for reading this thread. Before I posted this, I read the Game Issue FAQ, searched these forums, googled, and still didn't find a satisfactory answer to my issue here. I just recently bought and built a new machine: ASUS A8N5X AMD X2 4400+ 2 x 1g OCZ Platnum RAM Radeon X1900XTX...

    Building a Computer, Please Review

    Hi, I've been an avid gamer for many years, but I've never really been very technologically 'proficient'. My old system finally took a dive about a month ago (an old Compaq, p4 2.56Ghz, 1g of something RAM, Radeon 9800XT. I think the card died on me thanks to overheating) and seeing as its...
