As a designer and front-end web developer, I absolutely love it. It works out to being roughly the same price as if you upgraded on every version, but it's much more convenient and you get a rolling version with constantly upgrading features. It also means that I don't have to choose between the...

Sad day. I love my 65" Mitsubishi DLP.

Pretty hilarious, but also fake. The perspective of the elevator shaft in the monitors changes based on the camera's angle, though it should only be showing the angle that the people inside the elevator are seeing. Since, you know, lcd's can't show two entirely different images in full screen at...

Source engine games are pretty easy to run in surround, even with 2x or 4x aa. In general though, I find it works better with my 460's to just leave aa off and use Nvidia's FXAA driver option instead. If you get a second 460, be very careful. Nvidia did a silent update to a v2 version of the...

Size. Personally, I find it rather annoying that there are mini and normal versions of the same ports, like HDMI and DP. I would rather just make the smaller version the standard without the redundancy of the larger ports. I've always been annoyed with fiddling with adapters, even though they...

Fail? That was awesome.

I've got enough confidence in Valve and their style of mega-polished and perfected development to know that whatever comes out will be god damn amazing. I could also frankly care less about whether it's on the Source Engine or something different, as graphics aren't as important to me as...

I'm using the Darkplaces engine for Quake, and it's been pretty fantastic. That said, I didn't like the changed art direction of some of the new textures in the texture pack, so the only actual features I'm using Darkplaces for is the enhanced resolution, unified lighting and shadowing, and...

Indeed it is. I played the Dooms and Quakes as a kid, but never beat anything except for Doom 3 when I got it on my first gaming pc back in 2004. I picked up the id superpack on Steam a christmas or two ago, so there's indeed quite the backlog. Also, lol at the 10 fps. It's been running a...

Victory Accomplished. I've never actually beaten any of the Quakes prior to today, so I finally got around to playing the first one through. Anyone else revisited any oldies but goodies lately? I know I'm planning on moving to Quake 2 and the Thief series after this.

If this was an announcement for Windows Phone, I would be excited. IE9 mobile is passable, but I would kill for a different browser engine on my phone.

I worked out a fix for this on my own setup, but I'm not sure it will work considering that your monitors are all so different. At any rate, you may want to check out my topic on this here and see if it helps you out. Basically, the idea is to create a driver override in the device manager based...

I've managed to complete the switch over to Nvidia Surround since my earlier post, and I definitely enjoy the interface more for the most part. The only major issue I have with it (and it's a relatively big one) is that Nvidia requires the monitors to have the same sync polarity. I've discovered...

After battling with my new Nvidia Surround setup for 10 hours today in an attempt to get it to work, I thought I would post my working process so that others may have less trouble. I've got one Acer X233H screen and two Acer G235H screens. They have identical specifications except for one...

As far as stock goes, check as many places as can ship to you. Newegg, TigerDirect, Frys, etc. If you still can't find a 670, then it wouldn't be bad at all to bite on the 690, as it is also an amazing card. It's just an extra $200+ over 670 sli and quite a bit over a single 670 which would have...

Personally, I would stay far away from gaming beast laptops. They're nice, but you can always have a desktop at home for serious gaming. About the most I would want to spend on a laptop would be something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246106. It's got decent...

I would say to try a single 670 and move up to a 670 sli if that's not enough. The 670 is still a pretty amazing card at 2560x1440, so I don't think you would have anything to worry about.

I've seen some some 580's in the FS forum here for slightly over 300, so you might consider that option. I had video card issues with my 6870 (namely it not wanting to run certain games of mine well or at all, albeit they're fairly old/niche), but you still can't beat the value proposition of a...

Indeedo, the best single card is always the best option, unless you need a specific feature that requires Sli (such as Surround gaming with sub-$400 spent on video cards). Sli in the future isn't always an option either, since your card will usually have gone EoL before you need to buy a second...

I pretty much second everything MrWizard6600 said. I love the productivity aspects of having three full 1080p monitors, and I also love being able to span my games across that if I so desire. I will also go a step further than his suggestion that Catalyst profiles were a bit of a hack and wager...

Bump. Looking for a pair of 460's now for sli, or even 470's/560's if you can part with them in a similar price range. I've got an HD 6870 that's available for trade if it could reduce the price. [EDIT]Acquired from TigerDirect. [EDIT]HD 6870 has been sold.

That was a pretty amazing read, and I really hope Kyle and Brent take notice and at least partially incorporate it. It helps explain their recent subjective preference for Nvidia card smoothness in the last few reviews.

PM sent.

My heatware. I've only made a few purchases here, but everyone's enjoyed my business so far. :) GPU's That I'm Looking For GT 210, HD 5450, etc: I'm also looking for relatively low-end cards. I'm up for most offers on those...

Just had success with this on a BFG GTX 285 which I had left for dead months ago.

One of my Graphic Design professors upgraded to a Sandry Bridge and is selling her Core 2 Macbook Pro. If I remember correctly, it's a Core 2 Quad, 17" display, and a brand new hard drive due to a repair. I believe she wanted $600 or $700-ish. I can check if you're interested.

That's actually the worst place to put a summon sign. Generally the best way to be summoned is to place your sign as close to the bonfire as possible, so that the host sees you first. It is fairly true that you can only coop for bosses though, as once you've killed the area boss you can no...

I don't recall anyone complaining about the quality of the Ninja Blade port (also by From), regardless of whether or not that game was any good. I think they'll do pretty decent with it. I just hope they don't put it through GFWL like they did with Ninja Blade...

It's going to happen. This is just an ad for next month's magazine, but the page is indeed real.

I used this as an excuse to pick up NG2 again, since I never played past the third chapter previously. I loved the hell out of Black, but for some reason I just sort of stopped playing 2. On a technical and gameplay level it seemed much better than the original, but I just got bored of pretty...

Either way, it looks pretty confirmed. Blighttown in 1080p, 4xAA, and 60fps will be awesome.

Honestly, the 5870 should still be able to smash anything in 1920x1200 at least up to 4xMSAA (ish), so I don't think you would need to upgrade. Definitely don't get a 6870 or a 560 (non-Ti model), as those would be sidegrades for you. If you wanted to upgrade, I would suggest at least a 6970 or...

sdlvx, you have my sympathy. There's so much reading comprehension fail in this thread that it's ridiculous. The argument being made is not that either the 7970 or the 680 are $500+ cards, but that their GPU die size is virtually the same as the mid range ones of previous generations, yet...

I don't really see the point in waiting for the 4gb versions. On my 6870, I barely go over the 1gb of VRAM in certain games, so I doubt you would reach the 2gb ceiling even at 4x MSAA. Kyle repeated quite often in the review and topic that they didn't have any issues with the ram amount, and...

I've got it on all of my home computers and I love it. Pretty much agree with everything GoldenTiger said about it, and that's a big part of why we install that as the antivirus we leave on computers at my work after completing a PC cleanup.

The docking battery issue is a good point, but I'm quite stoked for this. Aside from it just being a great concept, this is the sort of thing that could eventually lead to the fabled 'year of the Linux desktop.' I still prefer my Windows for work (due to being a graphic designer and thus locked...

Design wise, this logo is pretty mediocre. Not because it's simple, as simple is probably the best thing for a logo. Just look at Nike's swoosh. That said, the concept is bland, and that's why the logo is meh. Not because it could have been digitally created in 5 minutes.

Apparently, a 6670 for the gpu. Yeah, dunno if I trust those recent rumors or not...

I would like to add that Saints Row 3 didn't run that great on AMD cards at first, and it was one of their Gaming Evolved titles. Quite sad.
