    MSI N560GTX Ti Twin Frozr II OC Give-away!

    I've never owned an MSI product, but I wouldn't mind starting. I've kept with a single brand so far for nvidia since my first GeForce 4, but I'm no stickler for brand affiliation!

    can another GTX 470 owner run a benchmark for me??

    Yeah, no problem. I would overclock my processor, but in the summer, my room gets too hot as it is. For what I use it for, it's just fine the way it is. That's my MO, I upgrade my system and run it stock for a little while then overclock it when it gets a little long in the tooth/new games come...

    Rendering farm?

    This is a cool video to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOpBlYx2H1o&feature=player_embedded While not specifically used for rendering, it's the most interesting multi-gpu setup used for number crunching that I've seen so far. And they outline some of the roadblocks they encountered...

    Need help getting the most out of my Q9300

    I think dropping another LGA 775 into that mobo would be a poor choice. Sure you'd get more performance, but the platform is becoming pretty long in the tooth at this point and I think you'd regret it in the long run. As far as overclocking goes, are you also raising the voltage? What are the...

    Dual core GPU instead of one big GPU?

    The GTX 480 has 3 billion transistors. And it's true, GPUs are really designed very differently, although I don't see why seperating the logic into two distinct and separately manufactured dies would be a bad idea per se. Although it might have some other undesired consequences when it comes to...

    I just bought a GTX 470

    Hey folks, I just bought a GTX 470. I came to this decision after a lot of internal debate and the short of it is that I do a lot of video encoding for my PS3, so I want to be able to use badaboom for its super fast encoding. Anyways, I'm aware this thing is a monster when it comes to power draw...
