With a large 4k display, isn't FOV an issue? I mean, having it fill your peripheral but with a 90deg FOV just makes everything look big. I feel this is an advantage of Eyefinity/Surround where the larger ~141deg FOV actually gives your peripheral vision in games. And boy, do I find it makes a...

Looong time lurker (since 2000), so forgive the noobiness but I have a question and this is obviously the best place to ask. I see in the reviews and discussion that SLI/X-fire have input delays and stutter. My last build was a pair of gtx 280s to finally max out Crysis (1) at max setting and...

C'mon free card.

Martins has proved that pulling is better <1400RPMS, about even until 2000RPMS, then push is best. If you want my (undocumented) experience: taking cool air from outside will keep the water cooler. Making the inside of the case high pressure (even with warm air) keeps components cooler than...

I've actually taken the loop apart several times, and put it back together using just about every block/rad order combo. The loop infact stays coolest running all the rads first, then all the blocks (I would chalk this up to water's heat capacity: its difficult to turn its delta T around, but...

I have a stacker 830A (the black revision with less room) that's currently being water cooled by a swiftech mcp 350, 2 120x2 swiftech rads, and 1 120x1 black ice xtreme. The whole thing is internally mounted: one 120x2 up front (hard drive bay removed, 2 hdd's screwed into the floppy adapters...

I have to input maths into this. A decent CPU will last 6+ years in the gaming world (not latest and greatest, but if 720p of current consoles is the min graphics setting to keep a comp vs console argument....). That's just about 2 console cycles. High end pc to keep pace for 6 years...

The basic question: What is the advantage of AFR vs SFR, and why have both Nvidia and ATI decided to hop on the AFR bandwagon? I can see the simplicity of AFR: have different GPU's work on different frames to speed up display. I remember the rumors of the 4870x2 sharing memory, but is this...

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1317445 I have my write up there. I'm only 1680x1050, but its still very impressive (not as impressive as 1900x1200, but meh, i just spent $1300 on graphics cards, i need to save for that new monitor...)

I've seen a whole lot of people spewing disappointment at these cards, so I'd like to throw in my $0.02 worth. First, please don't comment on sli not being worth it for 1680x1050. That's a rediculous claim. That resolution looks pretty good to me, and the sheer number of pixels is pretty...

I'd just like to say, benchmarks are one thing, playing is another. I just go my 9800gx2's stepped up to gtx 280's, and they are playing crysis, all vhigh, 16xQAA + multisampling + 16xAF (ok so af doesn't work on vhigh, whatever). With fraps and vsync, the bloody bugger never drops below...
