I'm looking to trade my HIS 6990 for a GTX 680. I don't expect to find anyone willing to trade out their new 680, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try! I've owned it just about a year now and it's been very good to me running Eyefinity. It runs 945/1300 in my system, I've never upped any...

My friend has been trying to play BF3 with me recently and has constant hard freezes. I went to look at his drivers in Device Manager and under System Devices it showed up as P55. This is a x58 board, is this normal?

I've owned my 6990 since early April, never OC'd past the BIOS switch on the card. Recently(1 month or so) I've been seeing a lot of strange dots on my screen, but never in a game or while playing something in VLC, etc. My machine has been giving me BSODs recently, but it seems to only be caused...

A little explanation: I'm likely going away from home for an extended period(not to prison and I'm not going to explain). My little sister(15) is way into creating art, both digital and those old ways. Right now she is using a machine with the specs following for gaming(another one of her...

So I decided to spend most of the money in my checking account on newegg for no real reason. I ordered: i7-2600K GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD4-B3 HIS H699F4G4M Radeon HD 6990 G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Intel Core i7 Processor i7-2600K I...

I've been using MSI Afterburner for overclocking, fan speeds and looking at stats on my GPUs. Up until recently I was using a Logitech G15, and made use of the plugin for the LCD. Now I've switched keyboards and have been using Afterburner's On Screen Display for the following numbers: FPS...

Well I had a little problem with my i7-930 over the weekend. It looks like I killed the 930 AND my UD3R. Not currently having a job, I called my loving grandmother and asked her to help me get my comp up and running again. A little explanation may be in order for the story: My grandparents...

I recently picked up a Sapphire 5870 1GB used for $200 to run CF with my HIS 5870 1GB. The strain of 5760x1080 was a bit too much for the one card. I have a few different questions about CF, as I have never run a multi-GPU setup. I had my HIS card OC'd to 915/1300(highest stable OC) and...

I recently gave Eyefinity a trial run with 2 Dell P2010H's and an Acer 20" I had lying around. After deciding I liked Eyefinity I picked up 3 ASUS VE276Q 27's. The P2010H is a 1600x900(Dell says they are TN, but they are the best looking TN's I've owned) with VGA/DVI/DisplayPort inputs, USB2.0...

Ordered 3 ASUS VE276Q 27" monitors this morning. I'm guessing I'll run into the need for more GPU power at some point. I think I can pick up a second 5870 for a bit under $300, but should I wait for something else to be released in the sub-$500 range?

Long story short, my parents want my 37" Toshiba and offered to let me spend their American Express rewards points on Amazon. I have $762.90 in points to spend and don't want to go too far over that. I'm looking for 3 24-28" TN panels for Eyefinity Landscape mode. I've found the Asus 27" with...

I've got a modest stable of Displays at my house. The only kind I haven't really had experience with yet is a 2560x1600 panel, though I have of course used them briefly. They are pretty great, but looking at my Toshiba 37" LCD@1080p and the Dell P2010H I currently have set up next to it. Even...

I don't know much about hardware PhysX rendering other than there aren't a lot of games utilizing it. But I have an EVGA 8800GTS 640MB sitting on a desk that was in my machine two upgrades ago. If I throw this in one of my x16 slots can it be used for PhysX processing? Would it be worth the...

First, a list of the systems in question: Mom's machine: Intel DG33TL (tired of this mATX mobo) Intel Core Duo E2200 (pretty nice little chip) 3GB G.Skill DDR2-800 Vista x86 HP (EWW) 2x Samsung 22" @ 16x10 (a christmas gift from me) Dad/Sister's machine: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L (been a...

I'm a bit out of the game on video cards recently. I know the new ATI card models, but know nothing of nVidia's models. I also don't know how my current card would compare to most of them. So, let me think out loud here and maybe give me some useful information. I bought a Sapphire HD4870 at...

I have an older eMachines(T2792 in case you're wondering) that I'm looking to get up and running again. Right now it has a 2.7ghz cellery and some sort of goofy TriGem board. I'm looking for either a cheap(in price!) 478 board or a decent decent(~$60) mobo/proc/ram combo. Something like a A64...

Trying to help out my mother right now, she needs to scan a pretty large quantity of maps into PDF format. She needs a scanner that can do legal size and scan into PDF. Another option would be an easy conversion from say JPEG or TIFF to PDF using the scanner she has now. Anyone have experience...

Can't post in the hot deals forum yet but I came across a pricing error of sorts at my Best Buy today. Seagate FreeAgent(2.5 external) 120gb was priced at $24.99 at my store today as sort of a mis-communication. May be worth a try to get this price. I'm not sure if this price was an intended...

I recently picked up a VX Nano for my EEE PC and have started using it on my desktop, I love it! I'm really impressed by the features and performance of the VX Nano. I haven't used a wireless mouse in a few years and the technology seems to have really come a long way since then, unfortunately...

Well I still have an Intel mobo sitting around from Intel Retail Edge and I think I'm going to make an upgrade to my mother's computer. Right now she has a Pentium D930 on a ECS mobo and 1GB of DDR400. I was looking at the e2180 because of the price but would that be much of an upgrade from the...

I want to set up a directional WiFi antenna to go about 150ft to a building behind my house. I do a lot of gaming and have never had great luck doing so on any wireless connection. If I were to put together a tin can antenna and point it at the building what would I need as far as an antenna to...

I'm about to put in my Retail Edge order for the Q6700. Anyone own a 6700 AND a 6600? I'm just wondering what the practical differences are: Does the 6700 have more overclocking potential? Is there a temperature difference between the two that I should consider? I'm trying to decide...

My dad and I recently signed up for DirectTV because of the NFL Network/Suddenlink debacle only to find out that DirectTV does not yet have local channels in our area. Normally this wouldn't be much of a problem for either of us but my mom needs her weekly House fix and my sister is obsessed...
