    PSA: If you are running 3 monitors with 3+ GPUs, you NEED pcie 3.0

    For three monitors and 2 gpus, don't worry about it...you'll be fine at 2.0 16x16x (although I speculate that something like quad sli with GTX 690s should probably be at 3.0 16x16x). Similarly, at resolutions up to 2560x1600, pcie 2.0 doesn't seem to be a huge bottleneck. However, ff you're...

    FS/FT New samsung 830 256GB SSD (will trade 2 for 512GB SSD)

    I have two Samsung 830 SSDs, 256GB. One of them is brand new and sealed, the other has never been used but was opened. I want to sell the sealed one for $160 shipped or trade them both for a 512GB possibly with money added on either side just depending on the actual deal.

    Triple Titans: X79 or Haswell?

    I hate upgrading at all since my 2600k at 4.5-5.0 ghz still gets the job done, but I need pcie 3.0. This will be a gaming rig only. So far Haswell is looking incredibly underwhelming. Go for a 4770k for true pcie 3.0 support? Or go for a 3930k to cop those extra cores and use the pcie 3.0...

    FS - Multiple GTX 670 4GB cards (EVGA Superclocked)

    I am moving over to Titans and so selling my 3 EVGA GTX 670 4GB Superclocked cards (currently $440 at newegg). They were never overclocked and are in great shape and include boxes. Asking $350 shipped each. More than one would probably have a discount. Full disclosure: I game at...

    How often should SSDs be replaced?

    I have an 80GB of the second gen Intel X25 that I started using as my boot drive 3-4 years ago. Should I be looking at swapping it out now? Or how long do you guys keep yours before you start worrying about failure?

    GTX670 TRI SLI Nvidia Surround Crashing

    Bros, I was wondering if you could help me with my first world problems. I have 3x EVGA GTX670 4GB superclocked and I'm playing on 3x 30 inch monitors at 7860x1600. Lately on graphically intensive games, the system has been hard locking with a buzzing sound. I removed the overclock from...

    Buy me a new 1200w+ PSU bros

    I've been tending to run 3 big GPUs lately and I can definitely see myself running quads in the future. Right now I have a 4 year old Corsair HX1000 which seems to be running fine but I think it's time for something new and I want to get more headroom to run 3-4 cards for the next 3-5 years...

    What is the best graphics flight game?

    Can be arcadey (or sim, as long as it isn't inaccessible). I just want the PC flight game with the absolute best graphics. I have Wings Of Prey and it looks pretty sick but for some reason it runs at a locked 60fps and then tanks anytime I shoot an enemy. Anyways, I just want a really good...

    Have 30 inch monitor. Go with 3x30 or 3x27 @ 1080p ?

    I just got a pair of gtx670 4gb and will probably pick up a third. I already have a 30 inch 2560x1600 monitor but I'm worried that with 3 of them, even tri sli will not handle the frame rates and settings I want. I was considering 3 27 inch 1080p, but is the pixel density going to be ugly for...

    Are new cards close at all?

    I have 6970x3, so it's not like I can't run games but it feels like an inelegant setup. A lot of things don't run as well as they should...ie Sleeping Dogs ought to never drop below 60fps maxed at 2560x1600. Yet, it's usually running under 60 fps with card utilization at like 50%. I was...

    What phone currently has the best specs?

    I was thinking about getting a Galaxy Nexus, is that the best thing currently going or is there something else I need to look at? And is there anything coming out in the next 2-3 months that is anticipated to pwn it?

    Two sets of 6GB (3x2) DDR3. Kingston 1800mhz and Patriot 1600mhz

    I have two sets of RAM here: 1. Kingston khx1800C9D3T1K3 3x2GB DDR3 1800mhz. I bought this brand new on a forum and have discovered that my poor P6T can't handle having all 6 dimms full with 3 video cards plugged in. It has been used less than an hour. $75...

    Running out of memory with triple 6970?

    I added my third 6970 today and while the system was fine with 2, now every time I try to run a graphically intensive game like ARMA 2, Shogun 2, Crysis, etc, the game crashes and Windows gives a low memory error. Any ideas what to do here? I am on Win 7 64 and I have 6 gigs of memory. I was...

    Likely for two cards to go bad at once?

    I've got a pair of Galaxy GTX 480 purchased at launch and I'm trying to decide if they're going bad or if I need to look at other parts of my system. RMA will be a real pain in the ass since I don't have a backup and this is a terrible time to do the upgrade then sell old cards when they come...

    The "My Wii is a Doorstop" club

    Anyone else own a Wii but just find it completely uncompelling as a system? I decided to give it a spin today and I was shocked when I organized/prioritized my games. Out of my 49 Wii games, I have beaten two of them. Two. My rate on the PS3/360/PC is more like 80% completion. About five of the...

    Split/Second: The Crysis/Metro 2033 of racing games

    Normally a game like this wouldn't be too much on my radar, but I ended up with the PC version on release for $11 shipped thanks to an amazon preorder at below-retail that they later added a $10 credit to. So I figure what the hell, it was practically free so I'll give it a shot. The jist of...
