Hello everyone, I am thinking about a new gaming mouse to replace my old Logitech G5. I have heard good things about the Steeleries Sensei mouse, just wondering if anyone here on the Hardforum uses one and what your feedback is? Ergonomics, features and worth the price? Thanks for any info!

I'm thinking about upgrading my sound card from my trusty old Creative X-fi Xtremegamer to a Titanium HD. I currently use Audio Technica A700 headphones, no amp. The primary purpose is gaming, but I do listen to some music and watch movies with these phones as well. Should I expect a big jump...

The ZR30W has a DisplayPort (not mini) and a Dual Link DVI port. The HD 6950 has 1 x HDMI, 2 x Mini DisplayPort, and 2 x DVI ports. What adapter cable is the best to use for connecting the 6950 to the monitor? I want whatever will give the highest quality picture, if it even matters. Thanks!

I am trying to unlock my 6950's, and I followed this step by step guide: http://www.overclock.net/ati/923129-hd-6950-810-1250-mhz-shader.html I have two cards. After following the steps, only one of my cards unlocked! :( Is there something else I can do to unlock the master GPU? Do I have to...

My 920 is doing great at 4.0ghz, vcore is at 1.23, turboboost is off, BCLK is at 200 and multi is at 20. Everything else is set to Auto/default. I'd like to get to 4.2 as I think this vcore is pretty low for 4.0. Thing is I am getting bsods when I up the multi to 21 and set the voltage to...

Any idea when we will see the 7000 series from AMD? All I know is there will be a die shrink, will this mean a huge leap forward in performance, like 50%+ gains over the 6000 series? Will we see these cards out by Christmas of 2011? I'm just wondering if I should start saving my pennies for a...

I have a 20 dollar B&N gift card and I'm thinking of subscribing. I remember the mag being pretty good back in the day, but I've noticed the past couple times seeing it on store shelves it has thinned out from what I remember. Is the 12 issues/DVDs worth 15 bux? Thanks

Any reason to use 2 CFX bridges? If not, which of the two slots should I put the bridge on? Thanks

I am thinking of getting one of these, does anyone have any experience with them? I have an old Logitech G9 and I like it, but this one is cheaper than a new G9x and it got a great review from ++++++++++++++++.com. Thanks for any advice.

I am wondering which power supply I should go for? I'm upgrading to 6970s and not sure if 750W is enough juice. The 750 is $165 and the 850 is $199. I would see if my current 700w Seasonic is enough but it is getting quite old and it doesn't have any 8 pin connectors. Thanks for any advice!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161355&cm_re=6950-_-14-161-355-_-Product Anyone know anything about the HIS brand? I'm thinking of ordering two of these, such a great price...

I'll be going from my 1080p TV to a 30" 2560x1600 monitor soon, and I'm wondering if I have enough GPU horsepower with my cf 5850's. I like to have AA and all the eye candy possible, but the important thing for me is running a solid 60 fps at all times. Will I have a much better experience if I...

I'm looking into purchasing the best 30" monitor for gaming. I have heard these two models are good because of low input lag, are they my best choices? Can anyone tell me which one has overall better PQ and/ or performance? Any models I am overlooking? Also, will my CF 5850's be enough...

Www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231414 I want to buy a 60gb SSD for a gaming drive, is this a good choice? It will be my first SSD and I don't plan on putting my OS on it, just the games I am currently playing. I keep my rig in sleep mode when not in use so boot times really...

Sorry I am new to hard drives. Specs in sig, what's the best, cheapest, easiest to plug and play SSD availabe that I can put my games on for thes fastest possible load times?

I currently run 5850 xfire on a 1080p 32" tv. I love it but I really need to crank up the AA to sit close and have the best image quality, due the large pixels on the 32" at 1080p. My questions twofold. First, what is more taxing on my video cards? A game at 1080p with 16x AA or a game at...

If I could get around $200 each for my 5850's, and $70 each for my GTX 260's, it would cost me about $60 extra to get two 6950's. Would it be worth the hassle? I love upgrading, and I hear great things about the scaling of the 6950 in CF (unlike 5850). I game on a 32" HDTV, 1920 x 1080. I...

I currently use a 32" 1920x1080 TV for gaming on my PC (panasonic viera tc l32s1). I love it, fantastic for gaming, but I feel like my rig is overkill for this resolution and I am wondering if it is worth a grand to move to a 30" 2560x1600 monitor? (looking at perhaps the zr30w from HP) Is a...

I hope this isn't an inappropriate topic, but it has come to the point where I need to hear some feedback from fellow pc gamers on the subject of playing under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. I am 26 years old and have been pc gaming since 10. For the past several years I have been...

If so, I can't wait. I hate 10.6 and for some reason I can't seem to install earlier versions over it.

A couple months ago I purchased a 32" TV for use as a PC gaming monitor. I absolutely love this thing, but I just hate the fact that I am limited to a 1920x1080 resolution, and I would love to step up to 2560x1600. So I am wondering, do most games support this resolution? And what would be...

I haven't been able to find any fixes for this, just started playing this game again for a second run before I get Bioshock 2... but I can't get AA to work which sucks ass.

Well my Deck came today and since I am off work and bored decided to post some unboxing pics. This keyboard is great, its much nicer than the Razer Tarantula it replaced. Typing and gaming is definitely more responsive and precise. You get what you pay for!

I am looking to perhaps replace my Razer tarantula. I love this keyboard, has served me well for over 2 years now. I just want something with lit keys and the Battle light just does not cut it. What is holding me back, and this may be a silly thing to worry about, is the response time of the...

Hello everyone. I recently installed Windows 7 and I am also new to ATI as I got my 5850's just a couple weeks ago. When I had Vista installed, CCC worked well with no issues as far as I could tell. However, after clean installing Windows 7, updating the video drivers and reinstalling CCC, I am...

I have a Xtremegamer sound card, and I just installed Windows 7. Updated to the Windows 7 drivers from the Creative website... and I am having horrible issues with the sound. When I play Mass Effect 2, half the time the sound does not work at all and when it does work I get the annoying snap...

A heads up for anyone wanting one of the new 2GB 5870's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125322&cm_re=5870-_-14-125-322-_-Product

Just giving a heads up in case anyone didn't know! "This is a WHQL driver for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, and 300-series desktop GPUs and ION desktop GPUs. This driver resolves fan speed issues reported with version 196.75 drivers. NVIDIA asks that you remove 196.75 drivers and update to...

Now that it is clear Fermi stinks, I am thinking of upgrading from my GTX 260 sli setup to a single 5970. My other specs are p6t deluxe v2, i7 [email protected], 6gb ocz plat, 700w m12 seasonic, vista 64, in a cm stacker 830. A few questions: 1. Will I see a nice performance difference at 1920x1080? 2...

Does anyone have any idea when the 5970's are going be regularly stocked anywhere, and when the price will come down to MSRP? I really want this card but it seems to only be found on ebay and for hundreds more than MSRP! :mad:

How good would this TV be for sole use as a PC gaming monitor? I currently have a 24" Samsung T240 1920x1200. This Panasonic Viera is a much larger screen but the resolution is trimmed to 1920x1080. Would the input lag/ ghosting be worse on this screen as its an IPS? I assume so, but if the...

Title pretty much explains itself. I have a Sammy T240 that I like alot but I really wish there was something out there that had a 120hz refresh rate at 1920x1200 resolution and a response time of less than 5ms. I havent really looked into monitors for about a year, has anything changed in this...

I paid $180 for Vista 64 bit Ultimate a little over a year ago and now there is already a new OS coming out. I run a i7 [email protected] ghz with 2 gtx 260c216 in sli and 6gb ddr3 1600. I love this rig as it serves wonderfully as a gaming machine. Whats the deal with Windows 7 for gaming? Will it be...

I am sorry if this post isn't appropriate, I'll delete if it is, but I'm not sure where to ask this. I recently upgraded my rig to a i7 setup. This leaves me with a used evga 680i motherboard with a e6600 overclocked to 3.4 ghz, a Nirvana nv 120 heatsink, and 6 gb of Patriot ddr2 1600 memory...

Ok I have a major problem on my hands. I upgraded my rig a couple months ago Installed a P6T Deluxe v2, i7 920 overclocked to 4.0, cooled by a Prolimatech Megahalems heatsink with a NB Multiframe s-series M12-P fan. Works great most of the time, but every once in a while when my CPU is really...

I'm about to order a i7 920 from newegg, but I'm worried about getting a c0 stepping instead of a d0. If I get unlucky and receive a c0, can I return it unopened for a replacement which will hopefully be d0 ? Sorry if this question is dumb but I really don't want a CPU that I can't overclock...

I have a [email protected] on a evga 680i board with 2 gtx 260c216 55nm's and 6gb ddr2 800 ram. Basically I'm wondering how much of a difference in gaming performance I should expect before I shell out 600 bucks to replace my motherboard CPU and ram. This is for a 24" display at 1920x1200 res.

When idle, gpu1 is about 3 degrees C hotter but at load gpu1 gets 15-20 degrees hotter than gpu 2! Is this normal ??? For instance I ran cryostasis at 673/1451/1130 and started seeing artifacts so I went to windows and saw gpu1 was at 75 C and gpu2 was at 60 C!! Is this normal or do I have a...
