TL;DR Is there better Return on Investment for spending more these days with multi-core processors than there was 20 years ago? As now you get a direct upgrade in core/thread count rather than in the 90s/2000s where you might just get a better binding and a 5-15% increase in clock speed and...

So, some guys at some university somewhere made an engine using DX10 from scratch that's design to make very realistic looking skin/lighting effects. Apparently, they think they could have done better by their own admission if they had used ...shadow-mapping or what-not.

So I have a Samsung Syncmaster 275T Plus and have been loving it. The picture quality has been and still is great... Text is clear and easy to read. Little to no visible ghosting. Large screen size has spoiled me/screen real estate.
Alas, lately the monitor won't turn on. When the monitor is...
I used to be a very active Starcraft 1 gamer and must have easily logged 3,000 hours(and I'm being serious 3 hours a day x 6-7 days a week x 3 years+). I was quite excited about the idea of a Starcraft 2 being released but I am nervous to play it. I gather a lot of the players still playing will...
I've been having issues lately with IE9 trying to 'resume' downloads or even 'pause' downloads using the IE9 downloader. I'll go to certain websites that require...'processes' or 'authentication' to start downloading.
Ex. A large attachment from gmail that requires you to sign into gmail...
What's the minimum resolution you guys would aim for if you were going to setup a 2x or 3x projector system for eyefinity? I'm envisioning perhaps 720p since they can be found for $499.99-$599.99 sometimes during weekly sales but 1024x768 can be found for even cheaper along the lines of $399.99...
Will we be seeing any upgrades over the icore 920/950/980x anytime soon with regards to the new Sandy Bridge chips?
Its nice to see the mainstream chips are performing so well to the point that there's little to no reason to buy the 1366 socket, but...as a 1366 socket owner, I can't help but...
I'm thinking of buying an SSD. Mostly for gaming purposes. I previously had wow installed on a Seagate 7200.9? or .10? 500GB hd and it ran fairly-well. Usually, when in Dalaran there's a bit of lag when its initially loading the models but it would go away on my server (Tichondrius) after about...
Would it speculatively be better to crossfire a 5870 and a '6970' or run a 6970 solo? Secondly, does anyone think its possible to crossfire the two seperate series together?
I just wanted to check and see if anyone else was experiencing this same issue or if I might need to RMA my card. I'm currently running a single 5870 with the stock bios(whatever was on it out of the box) and 10.4 drivers on Windows Vista Ultimate.
At the moment, I am occasionally...
I think I may have shot myself in the foot, figuratively speaking about a year ago.
At that time, I never really though of eyefinity as being something I'd want/buy/use and was for the most part still single-monitor gaming so I purchased a fairly expensive(at the time) IPS Panel monitor. or...
Well, my motherboard decided to die recently. I went on a trip, came back, power button would no longer launch my computer. Tried all the normal stuff like resetting ram, double checking psu is plugged in, unplugging/replugging, toggling the power switch on/off. Manually jumping the power switch...
