    Pioneer Elite Plasma-720 or 1080p for PC gaming?

    it depends on the stream being fed for one. a 720p stream would look about the same on both while a 1080p stream will look better on the 1080p monitor. that said from a distance it doesn't matter too much. But PC gamers are usually 2-20inches from their monitor(s) so in that case it does...

    sub-1900 resolutions on a 24" LCD

    true but if you're playing a game and into it, you're be more concentrated on the enemy than on a slight amount of blurring. Atleast I'd hope so. back when i was using a 6200(was waiting for 8800s to come out) it was horrible and I don't seem to recall it being THAT bad as far as the monitors IQ...

    Descisions, Descisions Descisions...

    First and foremost I'm a cheap SOB. I have money in the bank enough to pay for all of these several times over. I'm also in college and would rather use that money to go far a masters than to be wasted on computer parts. I have a 20 inch Dell e207WFP. Basically your cheap entry level TN panel...

    Q6600 vs. Q9300

    it's still faster per clock though 433*7.5(3250) shouldn't be THAT hard and it would still be on par to a 3.6Ghz conroe.when you take the 5-10% performance/clock advantage into account. Also lower power usage. Only do it if you can do so at no real cost however. I am personally waiting...

    Ignorance is bliss...

    I'm a mod on another forum(gamerenders if you've heard of it) and there's this guy, "computerkid" literally that's his name. He has in the past been adamant about ATi always being superior over nVida(we convinced him to get an 8800 though, but later he claimed that it's not much faster than a...

    Water + Heat Pipes (MOD pics)

    I LoL-ed to be blunt if you really wanted to go off of this idea, try filling the NB HS with A LOT of thermal paste. A LOT. Also try doing it on the SB as there is a LOT more contact. I'm sure this is a joke thread of course however, NOONE is THAT stupid.

    Another 4GB vs 2GB question, involving Photoshop

    I don't do heavy PS stuff but I'll tell you that 2GB to 4GB did virtually nothing for me except lower my overcock on my board... until we have true 64 bit apps and OSes it will likely stay this way to one degree or another. consider "iRAM" gets you around the 2GB limitation. doesn't hurt...

    A64 4000+ @ 3,068 MHz - 7900GS @ 640/950 (1,900) MHz

    getting 675core on a 7900GS isn't THAT hard. and for the record I am one of those freaks @ XS. I'm on the more moderate side fo thigns as far as OCing goes, but seriously you need to drop it. Just get out of the thread you're generally pissing people off. from what I've seen you've basically...

    A64 4000+ @ 3,068 MHz - 7900GS @ 640/950 (1,900) MHz

    M drop it. you're loosing respect by the minute. the 8600 has it's strengths. It's just not THAT good of a card. I have an 8800GTS it's great I love it it does everything I want it to do. I would not buy an 8600GTS at it's current price point over an x1950pro or 7900GS however. you keep on...

    A64 4000+ @ 3,068 MHz - 7900GS @ 640/950 (1,900) MHz

    he got a bad clocker, it happens. I assume you didn't read the article and just used google until you found oen particular instance which suited you. http://resources.vr-zone.com.sg/Shamino/86oc/22.jpg not exactly something you'de run with during typical conditions... FYI I read that...

    AA With 7900gt

    download rivatuner and use it's openGL modifiaction settings in there. I believe it should do 2x 2xQ 4x 4xS 6xS 8x 8xS 16x I haven't used a 7 series card in a while though so i might be slightly off

    Question

    in most cases the former. I'd personally wait it out until november the 7th though. heck sell your 7950 now if you want, buy a cheap card to get you by and then buy nVidia's next gen card. I have info from a NDA-ed guy on XS that it's around 40-70% faster than G80 but runs notably cooler and...
