    Map Of US States Compares Energy Use With Foreign Countries

    One thing that has been mentioned on this thread but isn't being given enough weight is climate. A large part of the USA is colder in the winter time and hotter and more humid in the summer time than compared to mainland western European countries such as France and Germany. Heck you could...

    IE Attack Code Used on Google Made Public

    Why IE7? Why Not IE8? Because believe it or not but IE8 is not a bad browser, it is actually one of the most secure browsers on the market. Its real issues right now is acid 3 compliance along with its JavaScript speed, that is pretty much it besides its opening of a new tab can be...

    Windows 7 Beta Outperforms XP and Vista

    Actually the first test shows in the article linked by hardocp that vista is faster then xp. XP is over 5 years old by the time vista came out. Wow really fair comparision. Vista has caught up to xp and is now starting to surpass xp in performance(especially in games), stability, drivers...

    Galaxy GeForce GTX 260+ Overclocked @ [H]

    Alright, I was just wondering really what the performance of world of warcraft was on todays $100-250. It would be interesting to see how well they perform in world of warcraft now considering the new graphics updates.

    Galaxy GeForce GTX 260+ Overclocked @ [H]

    Kyle, I have a question for you, is world of warcraft going to return as being one of those benchmark games? Because ever since the massive 3.0.2 patch came out for world of warcraft, performance on max settings for the vast majority of people has been cut by atleast half. The reason for this...

    ATI Says DX11, 40nm GPUs to Launch in 2009

    I was thinking the exact samething especially when hl2 was first released. The only difference between dx9 mode and dx8 mode in hl2 was the water quality and not to mention the huge performance hit also. Dx8 water was more clear and dx9 water had more fog like in the water, and also with dx9...

    Thermaltake ToughPower 1200W @ [H]

    Too be honest I'm not really surprised by the results, I own a thermaltank toughpower 700 watt psu (cost me 160 bucks) and the performance I get is about the same as what they rated. Thermaltank I believe is one of the most underrated psu makers out there. Sure they made bad psu's at first...

    AVADirect HTPC @ [H] Consumer

    I am calmed down I just think it is funny. That is why I have the lol in the post. Refresh rate does affect the framerate if Vsync is enabled. Refresh rate determines what the max number of fps can or is when Vsync is enabled.

    AVADirect HTPC @ [H] Consumer

    Why why why do you guys have such a hard time with World of warcraft and it settings? lol! You left Vsync enabled and at the same time leaving the refreshrate left at 60mhz. Didn't you guys promise in the last review(gateway review) that you would disable the vsync? lol First it was...

    Gateway FX530XG @ [H] Consumer

    I would like to point out that with such a high end machine that when running world of warcraft with vsync enabled your not going to see a performance decrease or increase depending on whether or not level of detail is enabled. For example lets say you had left vsync off and you did the test...

    Vigor Force Recon QXN @ [H] Consumer

    Level of detail option if checked or enable is a dynamic way of reduction of terrain polygon detail, and it says if you do this it increases performance. Have you noticed when flying on a mount how mountains or geological features in the game will change size either bigger or smaller and the...

    Vigor Force Recon QXN @ [H] Consumer

    The only thing I don't like is the fact that you guys leave the option in the game World of warcraft level of detail enabled. I would like to see that disabled considering this was a "gaming machine" and the point is to get max graphics while having a respectable framerate.

    BFG vs EVGA 680i board

    The biggest difference between the evga and the bfg model is that the evga one has a life time warranty on it while bfg only gives 3 year warranties to all of its motherboards. Considering the problems that nforce680i has right now that are supposdly being fixed with bios updates I would go...

    Silverstone 1000w

    Ya I was thinking the same thing, I mean the bfg previous psu's were crappy and since I couldn't find any reviews on the 800 and 1k watt psu's I was wondering if they were any better. But I'm going to be sticking to the silverstone 1kw, just wondering if that extra 10 bucks was worth it and...

    Silverstone 1000w

    What about the bfg 1000 watt psu? I know that the bfg psu's that were 650 watts and lower were actually pretty bad, but supposdly the 800 watt and the 1k watt psu that bfg makes is decent. Can't find any reviews for them but newegg sells the 1000 watt one for 270 bucks.

    GeForce 7900 GT Roundup

    Personally me I wouldn't buy a geforce 7900gt mainly because the xfx is offering a geforce 7900gs that has a core clocked at 600mhz and a memory at 1600mhz right out of the box for only $210(has a $20 rebate on it) on newegg right now. Those are faster then any factory overclocked geforce...
