    New 290 Random crashes with AMD Drivers

    It's not the driver.. it's XFX. I just got my XFX290 before Christmas and it also was crashing regularly in two different machines with 14.9 and 14.12 Omega drivers. My previous card, Sapphire 7970 ran without issue. The temps looked ok to me (~53C in desktop, ~90C during gaming). I had to...

    'World of Warcraft' Still a $1B Powerhouse

    there's a lot of humour in the gripes posted. But you can't deny the facts: WOW still generates a crap load of revenue. There's whole order of magnitude more WOW subs than there are of any other MMO. Myself, I still play WOW and am looking forward to WOD. :D

    LIAN LI DK-01X Case-Desk

    I like the idea, it's hard to find the balance of trying to make the desk big enough to be usable as a desk but not too big to waste space beyond containing the components. In one of the pictures, they have the cooling radiator place right next to the graphics card (I'm hoping that's an...

    Respawn Attacks Titanfall Bribery Claims

    Unless a person puts such reliance on reviews to buy the game, who cares what the marketing tricks were or were not involved? For me, I'll check it out on Gamefly and if I like it, I'll buy it. I don't give a crap on the veracity or mendacity of the reviews.

    The Bitcoin market has crahed, get ready for a flood of cheap cards on eBay.

    Yes.. I would walk away from that 911 in a heartbeat. Even if it was a Ferrari Enzo, I'd still walk away. I've seen plenty of twin turbo 911's with completely blown clutch and leaking engine parts that people try to unload on an unsuspecting buyers.

    LiteCoin Causing Historic High Demand For AMD Radeon GPUs

    Demand is not equal. AMD's market share is in desktop graphics. Like Bitcoin, the ASIC vendors will come out with a Litecoin appliance and demand from coin miners will drop off the cliff. That will leave retailers with overstock of graphics cards that nobody wants because the gamers all went...
