    Your GPU progression?

    Let me see here...it was: BFG 7600GT BFG 8800GTS (320mb) Asus 4870 Unbranded 5870 MSI 270 (with another Sapphire for crossfire) Sapphire 290 MSI 290 (due to the sapphire one not working) Currently running a Sapphire Fury I'm not a fan of any brand, but it does seem that I've been favoring...

    WTB: R9 290/X / 390/X or Fury/X (10 cards or more)

    I've got an R9 290 if you're interested. Price should be around $200, right?

    What to choose? Air vs Water cooling.

    I would just get the Noctua NH-D15. No fus about it working or not, cuz its just a bunch of fans. I think it looks pretty rad, but to each his own opinion. Still though, I've had an aio that went bad and starting leaking, so yeah, no more aio in my lifetime.

    Upgrade 290 to Fury or 980ti?

    I do think that 4gb of ram on the Furry is not a big problem. I'm not sure if its due to the HBM, or what, but I over went that 4gb on GTA 5 and saw no performance drop. Also, if you look at the graph, the Furry (with a bit of overclocking) actually ties with the 980ti at 4K, which is saying...

    Upgrade 290 to Fury or 980ti?

    I upgraded to a fury when they were around $250 a piece. I think they're still at that price on Amazon or Newegg. First off, I don't regret it at all. The fury was about $100(+) cheaper than a 1070 or 980ti that I could find. It handles games just wonderfully. Some people say it runs pretty hot...

    R7 370, R7 460, GTX 750ti, or 760ti?

    I would go with trying to make the 460 fit. It'll be a fun project. ;)

    AMD, Where Are You?

    If you're happy with your RX480, then good for you. I'm just saying that prices have been this high for high end products since forever. People should stop complaining about it since it'll be this way for a very long time, unless another company all of a sudden jump in and say: look here we have...

    AMD, Where Are You?

    Why do people keep complaining about the $600 price point for the top of the line flagship card; this has been going on forever. Hell, due to inflation, prices were technically much more expensive back then than today. I remember the first card that caught my eyes, the 8800GTX which also when...

    Should i get PNY or Asus 1060

    The R9 Fury is about the same as a 980 (give or take a couple of frames here and there depending on the games). The 1060 is approximately the same as a 980. However, I believe that the R9 Fury would be better in DX12 games, so take that for what's it's worth (a handful of games that support DX12...

    Should i get PNY or Asus 1060

    The PNY will probably cool better seeing how it has two fans, although the Asus would be better if you're putting it in a small form factor case. Both should perform about the same. I believe Asus has a better RMA service, although I have never had to RMA anything Asus before. PNY's service I'm...

    Best 50$ case

    I've had the source 210 for around $25 and even then thought it was a cheap feeling case. The metals were really thin at places and it just did not feel good. That being said, it does support good cooling options and ok cable management. In my opinion, it'll be better to spend a bit more (like...

    Switch Refresh: 1366 Hexcore

    Nice work on the carbon fiber. Thinking of doing the same thing with my rig, which is a Phantek S400.

    is it worth getting a pentium g3258

    If you can get a G3258 and an accompanying mobo for under $100, then I would say go for it. If it's closer to $175, then probably not. The G3258 is a great chip only hindered by its lack of logical cores. Some games, looking at you Far Cry 4, demands that you have 4 cores to play, although you...

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    Hi there, I'm looking for a 775 quad core cpu. It's to upgrade a friend's PC which is currently running a E6300. It's a sad little PC that even atom CPU can beat in benchmarks. He's having a baby at the moment, so he doesn't have much to spend.

    Core i7 Laptop overheating question

    I used to have a HP Envy 14 with the same processor, and it does tend to run pretty hot. Around 50C idling. See if the new hsf assembly works out for you. As for the thermal pads, you could probably just reused the ones that are on there already, or just buy some new pads. It's up to you...

    Yay, computer issues!

    Sounds like a mobo problem. You can try to get a mATX mobo in there and see if that fixes things (from looking at pics online, a mATX mobo should fit).

    980ti SLI Performance Issues

    For a cheaper upgrade, look into an X79 with a E5-2670. It should last you a while, seeing how it's 8 full cores hyper-threaded and the CPU is going for crazy cheap on Ebay.

    Recommended PSU for GTX 1070 SLI

    Dang Kurt, don't be hating too much on us because we didn't respond to your post. In either case, just get which ever power supply that has good 80 plus rating and well known that's within your budget. What you've listed and the fractal designed ones are all pretty good. Go with those. </thread>

    MIssing CPU pins LGA1150 NEED HELP!

    I don't think they replace the socket, but I may be wrong. Either way, I didn't have to provide a receipt.

    MIssing CPU pins LGA1150 NEED HELP!

    EVGA Pricing on GTX 1080

    Personally, I think the $609 base card looks great. Better than the FE edition and much cheaper for sure. If I had that kind of dough to throw around, that'll be the one I'll be after since it's a blower style and not an open air style. I've had too many open air style that just heat up my case...

    What a non Founder's Edition card looks like.

    The Asus card looks nice. Hopefully, it'll be on the 970 for around $380.
