Concerning a budget build PC, which will mainly be used for browsing/movies/light gaming; Is there any reason to look at AMD's platform over Intel at the moment?
I've been gaming since I could grasp the concept of pixels being generated on a screen...that time span amounts to approximately 30 years. I've seen gaming trends come and go, had the joy of watching video games grow from single level/one dimensional products to the vast and still growing...
Hi guys. I just got my Sapphire 7950 in today and am just starting to run benchmarks etc. The card I purchased is the Dual-X version and though it is overclocked 50mhz from the factory it is not an actual OC version. Anyhow, I've always used CCC to manage my overclocks and need help with using...
That,"I've waited my whole life for this." moment when your UPS tracking status shows 'Out for delivery." I refuse to take a shit until he gets here.
What a better way to spend my Monday off...running my 7950 through the ringer!!! I also got a Planetside 2 beta invite so that should be some...
I'm hung in between purchasing one of the Sapphire 7950's for $280 from Newegg or a used gtx 670 for $270. After taking performance, overclocking, software reliability, and longevity into consideration which card would be the better deal?
I'm currently in the market for a GPU upgrade and BL2. The single 6850 just isn't cutting it anymore.
My budget is limited to $225 and I live in the US...Texas to be exact. Thanks.
I am having a hard time deciding whether I should replace the faulty card in my 6850 x-fire setup or move on to the 7xxx series.
I think I would actually end up going with a 6870/6850 setup if I decide to stay x-fire, but while I have the money I'm kinda leaning towards the 7870/7950 route...
I know there is a thread on this game already, but I figured I'd start one with a specific point of view.
I've always been turned off by anything CS because #1 I'm not a huge fan of team only type games and #2 I hated having to sit and wait after being offed.
Well, I decided to give GO a...
Hi guys, awhile back one of my 6850's shit the bed and I kind of just tossed it to the side because the only game I have and play that utilizes 2 of these cards is BF3...I don't really play the game that often so I haven't been to worried about getting another one.
Anyhow, I've been itching...
How effective/proficient would you consider SLI to be concerning minimum frames per second on a single 1920x1080 monitor? From what I've seen on review slides it's hit or miss with the min actually being lower on certain games. What do you guys think? 670's would be the exact set-up I'm refering to.
Awhile back I made a thread concerning my current PSU and its abilitiy to power my system should I toss two 670's in. Some dude (don't remember his forum name), confidently assured me that my Antec Earthwatts 650 would be up for the job. Can I get some more feedback on this? Fwiw, I'm going to...
If you were going to be gaming on a single 1920x1080 monitor and were purchasing a new gpu solution tomorrow, what would you guys go with?
My main concerns are max frames per second(image quality, AA etc, is important but not as important as speed) my main gaming is spent in mp fps's. I've...
Hola. I've read pretty much all of the gtx 670 reviews but would like to get further feedback concerning real world gameplay/daily functionality, if possible.
The main things I'm concerned with are micro-stutter and heat/power draw.
I will be upgrading from xfired 6850's which have been...
Ok gais I'm upgrading my Gateway.
Should I go with a ti4200, radeon 9600 or quad gtx690's and will my 300w power supply be enough?
I need more vram for my 20g hd also.
Hopefully my p4 @ 2.2ghz won't be a bottleneck.
Thanx
Hi, I plan on upgrading to sli'd 670's which will involve a new PSU and need some recommendations. I would prefer to move on to modular as I have never owned one.
1 500g hdd (may change to 120ssd)
2500k @ 4.6
4 case fans not including cpu cooler fan
1 optical drive
2 670's which will...
I've been running 2x6850's for a good while now and have been tickled pink from the time I fired them up. A few weeks ago one of my cards took a shit and I've been "surviving" on one card.
I do not plan on upgrading from 1920x1080 in the foreseeable future but 1 of these cards just isn't...
I was finally able to pin down the exact reason I prefer CoD:MW3(BO) over BF(3) for "competitive" matches this weekend.
First of all, the one weekend I had the time and was really in the mood to give BF3 a good spin, I ended up frying one of my 6850's...I know boo-hoo. Anyhow, I really did...
Hi guys. I'm interested in graduating from the "trial" version of Fraps. Is there a better program for recording/rendering in-game footage? I'm not looking to spend a crap load of money as a side note.
I would "Google" it but then I wouldn't be privy to the opinion of my fellow H gamers. :D
I LOVE racing games, but it's been a while since I've actually played one that I enjoy.
Considering that most of the racing games I played in the past were on console, it would be fair to say that I never really got into the "Sim" racing genre...not that I ever really wanted to. It seems that...
First of all, these 2 cards have been nothing short of amazing...of all the GPU's I've owned (ti4200,7800gtx,9800gt), these 2 cards in xfire have given me ZERO issues...and when I say zero, I mean driver/software, and hardware wise. Now to my question:
The scaling on the 6850's has been...
I've just started getting into the fine tuning aspect of my 2500k's OC and want to make sure my PSU is not a culprit in holding me back from reaching the gold #. (5ghz)
I've spent the last 2 evenings scouring the webs, reading, reading, and re-reading other people's experiences with these chips...
I've been on the fence concerning CPU upgrade for awhile now and with this MC deal ending today I may finally hop off of the fence and into the pasture of 1155 sweetness.
Do these CPU's really stomp AMD into the ground as much as is touted? My only concern is that during the time I've been...
So I finally broke down and purchased another Xbox 360 in anticipation of MW3...this weekend I was playing some Black Ops (on 360 w/ a controller) and ended up getting into an argument with a guy that was above average for a console player...he was dead set on claiming that players using a mouse...
I've really been itching for some good competitive racing and it seems that iRacing has this in spades. My only concern is this: after browsing the site it seems that a "wheel" is required?
I actually prefer using an Xbox 360 controller for my racers. Is this game compatible with "controllers"?
I'm going to be in the market for a new monitor in the near future and am in need of recommendations.
I'm really interested in something that has a refresh rate of 120hz...any suggestions?
Other than the fact that the BF series is a "team only" game, one of the things I could just not get over was the fact that I couldn't run and strafe at the same time...it just took that "flow" feeling away from what I've always had in my fps's....
That being said, I've got the game minimized...
After 732 hours of Black Ops FFA and CTF I think I'm ready to make another $120 payment to Activision and IW.
For those who are interested I'm going to be running a FFA server upon the games release.
I know this franchise catches a lot of flack on these forums, but until another developer...
It's been a long while since I have delved into what happens to be one of my favorite genres of video games and have finally decided to revisit.
I've been doing some research on the latest racing games and of everything that is available now, F1 2011 is the game that has caught my eye.
I...
I'll probably be building/upgrading sometime in the next 6 months and have just started to browse reviews/benchmarks of the CURRENT cpu offerings from both AMD and Intel and couldn't help but notice a fascinating trend.
When resolutions above 1280x1024 are involved the current cpu offerings...
Where do the best FPS players reside?
I've been playing a ton of Quake Live and it seems that the toughest servers are in Texas and Cali. I'm not saying there aren't skilled players in all regions of the United States, but that perhaps because of regional culture, interest in the genre, etc...
