    IQ noticeably better on EVGA 750ti than Radeon 7850

    Recently switched from a 290X to a 760 (Maxwell incoming) and havn't noticed any differences in image quality. That said I do wish reviews would add back the image quality measures they used to have, even if to prove there is no difference.

    Just how quick is a GTX780M anyway?!

    This is a question that has bugged me for a while yet I have never been able to get conclusive proof; Just how fast is a GTX780m(880m) in relation to desktop cards? Various reviews and forum posts state the performance is anywhere from GTX670 levels (makes more sense) right the way down to...

    SLI 4GB GTX 770 good for 4K

    You will be able to game reasonably well on dual 770's in SLI @ 4K but there will be instances where a single GPU with greater memory bandwidth, and more importantly ROPS, will pull away. In shader bound scenarios you will have around 10% more grunt than a 780TI (in terms of raw FPS seen)...

    R9 290X meet Eyefinity, Eyefinity 290X

    Because I no longer have the underlying system that the other cards were reviewed on (3770K replaced the 2500K). My 3770K system went some 10 months ago when we moved house. It is only recently that I have had the means to rebuild my Eyefinity setup properly. Done :) Thanks. I certainly...

    R9 290X meet Eyefinity, Eyefinity 290X

    Preface - I dun Derped! Hi all, This review has been a while coming and ultimately started with a completely different premise; initially the review was going to focus on how a 290X copes with Eyefinity when coupled with a budget processor, in this case a Athlon X4 (Richland) 760K. The...

    Not Dead Yet!! A new Dreamcast game!

    Looking back I wish I had never sold my original DC when I was younger. I had one of the launch models and it was absolutely mint (I am stickler for keeping everything as well). My current "primary" DC is in near mint condition but it does have a bit of yellowing. My secondary unit is...

    Not Dead Yet!! A new Dreamcast game!

    For me the Dreamcast was and still is my favourite console of all time. It is the one that really brought the arcade experience into the home. I still play both of mine regularly - via VGA of course. I am currently searching for a Keyboard & Mouse so I can replay QIII properly - really...

    How Loud is your Xbox One?

    This would be easy to test as you can just unplug the Kinect to find out. The Xbone will moan but it will work fine. My Xbone is basically silent at gaming distance and emits a low hum (fan noise) when I stick my ear basically next to it. Interestingly unlike my PS4 it also stays whisper...

    780 GTX overclock results

    Something doesn't sound quite right here. What sort of cpu/case cooling do you have? My old 780 with the reference cooler used to idle at around 30-35 degrees (auto fan so ~25%), this is in a Define R3 with an additional side exhaust (single intake and Juhler 620 exhausting on the back)...

    MSI GeForce GTX 780 3GB Lightning Review

    I agree, my reference 780 will pass the Sleeping dogs benchmark quite easily at ~1240Mhz (1.2v) without any sign of instability. Ask it to run Crysis 3 on the other hand and it crashes out after 10 minutes. If I was to test 60 second run throughs though it would pass everything at ~1240Mhz...

    GALAXY GeForce GTX 780 HOF Edition Review @ [H]

    Better binned cores or simply luck. As an example the Asus 670 Direct CU's I used to own had notiably different overclocking limits: Card 1 - Max Boost: 1313 / Max Memory: 7200 Card 2 - Max Boost ~ 1240 / Max Memory: 6800 No amount of increased cooling, tweaking or playing with the...

    GeForce FX 5900U - A retrospective by you, the forum user

    Wow, slightly rough character models aside (and lowish resolution textures), EFBB still looks very nice indeed. I can remember my 6800GT crying when asked to run the Soft Shadows option. I wonder how many part frames per second a FX5900 would manage :p Also - thanks for pointing out...

    GeForce FX 5900U - A retrospective by you, the forum user

    Amazingly Unreal II supports Surround / Eyefinity out of the box as well (at least the Steam version does). I loaded it up the other day for the giggles and was shocked when it just *ran*. Good game as well. I can remember cheating / hacking the game to give unlimited turrets when you...

    GeForce FX 5900U - A retrospective by you, the forum user

    Very nice OP. This brings back fond memories of the MSI FX5900 Ultra I had with a wacking heatsink on one side and a smaller one (with a fan!) on the other. Came with a stupid load of extras (Mousemat, Mouse, Bag, Multiple games inc BF1942 and cables galore. I can remember benching the nuts...

    GTX 780 in Surround: My Review (Warning: Long read ahead!)

    Thanks :) I had no problems installing the 780 once the MB bios issues had been sorted out. I simply uninstalled the AMD drivers via the control panel and installed the Nvidia drivers (using Advanced > Clean Install). I have gone between multiple cards over the past couple of years and never...
