Then who stolz my Mhz?

He said "tentacles". That's a tough word to find good use for :p

2x HIS Radeon HD 5870's here, both running smoothly. In fact, since I'm running them on the EVGA P55 SLI, they're literally stacked on top of each other with little room between them. Manually running the one with restricted air flow at higher fan speed to compensate. The only issues I've had...

Voodoolights was my last screensaver as well! I had forgotten that one! Been a long time since I used a SS.

I'm with Steve on this one. What's wrong with saying ALL of the greetings? It's more merry that way anyway, everybody gets in on the fun!

It's also the country with lowest poverty rate, you have to REALLY want to live on the streets to end up on them, unlike here where you can be laid off, unable to find work that paid as well, lose your home and everything else and end up on the streets. Go figure. They're doing something right.

I think more war crimes issues raised in gaming would be great actually. It would add a level of realism and stress that combat games are still missing to this day. Some sense of "If I shoot that civvy, I could lose my freedom if I get caught" kinda thing would just make it more intense...

The GTX295 was dissapointing because having a few games that don't support SLI at all, the rendering drops back to single GPU, and a single GPU of the GTX295 is only about 2/3's as fast as a 5870. Plus, the image quality just looked better out of the box. With the GTX295 (and every Nvidia card...

A short story: I bought my new setup 2 weeks ago. Originally, it included a single Diamond Radeon HD 5870. That card died after 3 days use. Since I bought it all at Fry's, I took back the 5870 and used the store credit to buy the only comparable card they had in stock, a EVGA GTX295. After 2...

If the difference were between, say, 50 and 63, I'd be sweating it. But we're dealing in the double of that, right now at least. Next years games may make that a different story, who knows, eh? :D

I covered that point. It's not a point at all. Not at my resolution of use. If I was pushing out 2560+ resolutions, sure, it could be an issue. But Eyefinity isn't something I intend to invest in at this point, nor is a 30" monitor.

Without trying to sound like I'm trying to play off of your words, this is a big issue. The 5870 is indeed a sizable card and even my Antec Twelve Hundred finds the cards blocking drive bays. Anything of a smaller case and the cards would be IN the drive bays!

I don't have SLI 5870's. I have CrossfireX 5870's :p And the reason is that when I do choose to overclock my CPU eventually, the new 860 hits 4Ghz so easily it's silly. My 920 is a C0 so gets flaky over 3.8Ghz, runs best at 3.6Ghz. So, whenever I do get ready to pour on the steam, I'll have...

Honestly, monitor size will be the best determination of that answer. If you have a 26-30" monitor, then yes, the 5870 will be worth the extra 100 bucks. Granted, I have a pair of 5870's on only a 25" monitor, but I'm thinking that my good fortune right now may not continue throughout the year...

FPS: 63.1 Score: 1590 All settings default except resolution (set to monitor native).

Depends on how you use the balloons. They might make decent rubbers. My pack arrived, unharmed and containing everything it should. I was really sweating it too. If it can happen to steve, it can obviously happen to anybody.

I went ahead and posted a link to this site's article on the Houseparty site's comments section. There's an ongoing problem of a few jerk offs over there calling people who claim to have not received their copy of Win 7 in the party pack as liars. Johnnie7 is the worst culprit. Anybody who...

According to Net Applications, those statistics are wrong. Mac has barely over 5% of the OS market, not 12% as previously thought. Once Net Applications accounted for internet population per country, OSX's market share dropped through the floor...

Thank you Azhar. Exactly what I was thinking.

I get to say it first: Security through Obscurity :D :D :D

And the girl in that pic is clearly wearing SOME kind of underwear unless she's just got a thick, black mane down south. So thick in fact, it's a solid carpet with an even line where her leg starts.

Lily Allen is a blazing hypocrite.

I have to say, I've seen all I need to at this point, I already know enough about Radeon 5870 to know I'll be jumping on one ASAP. Kyle is gloating. He only gloats like that when he's VERY pleased about something. The review isn't even out and I can already tell you what happened. 5870 cleaned...

I'm with djBon2112 on this point. I buy CDs and DVDs still. But, I now no longer buy music or movies that SUCK BUNGHOLE because I can try it out, in entirety, before buying it. So if the whole album sucks, but the one song of it being played on the radio is the only good song on the album, I...

Well, since 7, 8, 9, why not the rest as well?

Excellent review. The end was pretty brutal though. "Coffin nailer"? Ouch!

It's sad. They THINK this discourages people from downloading, but it in fact creates a rebellion atmosphere where in fact the downloading is increased, not decreased. Besides the fact that they're suing their own best customers into bankruptsy, they've created the opposition against them by...

Maybe the "safe landing" part is booster assisted landing for reduction of speed? A boost to get ya in the air and a lighter boost to bring ya safely back in? Seems that also might be the reason it overheats, backwash from the landing.

AT&T @ $60/month Austin, Texas Download promised: 16mbs Upload promised: 1mbs Getting better then promised on all counts.

Long live Demonoid! Mininova gets my thumbs up as well.

Fry's lists the i5 as triple channel memory. Too bad nobody gave them the notice about Lynnfield and dual channel memory.

Just one. They don't produce further then a year ahead usually, and rarely that far unless they're just way ahead of schedule.

Twisted Sister FTW!

Get Everest. Learn about memory usage. Cached means it's NOT used, it's CACHED. It's space that is available the moment something needs it. That means FREE. As in not USED, the thing you claimed repeatedly before. Shall I go back for quotes? You claimed 10Gb used up with no apps loaded. It's not...

Ummmm, are you on drugs? No, he's NOT right about 10Gbs used of 12 total with no programs installed. That's pure on bullcrap. What are you smoking?

Reading comprehension for the lose, apparently. I wasn't answering the TITLE, I was answering a specific question within the thread. Your just being difficult because you feel silly for making crazy claims and being busted for it. Fact is, I answered the question accurately, in the context it...

This was the question I answered. Next time you want to be insulting, make sure you know what your talking about or face looking as silly as you do now AND when you made crazy claims about Vista's memory usage. 10Gb out of 12 with no programs installed. Silliness.

HAHAHA! Don't be a noob. You already showed total lack of knowledge about memory usage yourself. "Oh my, my Windows Vista ate 10Gb of my 12 without installing a single program".... I still get tickled by that one. That's just funny stuff. When you learn how to read memory usage, come back...
