    Good time to buy a Asus G73? Anything better for price?

    Well that's no fun. But I guess you'll always find people who have issues with things and quality control can only be so "fail proof" eh? :)

    So I just found out the hard way my laptop is Rugged.

    LoL, good times. I only laugh cause a similar thing happened with my wife and I. . . except she grabs my keyboard and chucks it. . . unfortunately it did not survive. .. she's still alive tho, so I guess that's a bonus..maybe?

    Good time to buy a Asus G73? Anything better for price?

    Hey all. Really wanting some advice on a desktop replacement setup. I've been eyeballing the Asus line for about a year now, specifically the G73. . and with prices at or around 1100 for a new one with the i7, is it a good time to buy it? I'm referring to the Best Buy one of course, which is...

    Defective monitor?

    That sounds terrible. If I were you and was worried about restocking fees and had the funds, I'd go buy another monitor and swap out the old in the new box and return it for a refund. Good times.

    Visiontek/Gigabyte brands?

    Wanting to buy a new 69XX series card, and wondering if these brands are as solid as XFX/MSI/Sapphire? I know XFX has hands down one of the best warranties, but don't hear much about the visiontek/gigabyte brands. I'm asking cause I'm having a hard time finding an XFX in stock at a...

    Need advice on buying a gaming laptop.

    If you're not stuck on getting into an i7 series CPU and can handle DX10 over DX11, the Asus G series , more specifically G71 series. . is a great buy at under 700 bucks from TigerDirect. They have them re-certified. I bought one new last summer and regret selling it over the holiday season...

    What laptop are you using to play Bad Company 2 ?

    Anything with a 260M or better is going to give you some solid BC2 performance. I had a Asus G71 with the P8700 core 2 duo and a 260M (last summer's model) and I played BC2 on high settings and the game performed very fludily with it. I wouldn't settle for anything lower than a 260M...

    Any hardcore benefit in upgrading from i7-920?

    Thanks for the replies guys :) Gotta ask from time to time if I've missed something in the tech loop. I know a lot of the i7 9XX guys who went with the Sandy are having buyers remorse, although some are loving the OC ability of it. . . not worth it in my eyes.

    Any hardcore benefit in upgrading from i7-920?

    Wondering if upgrading my i7 920 which has been stable at 3.8ghz for the past year I've had it and performed wonderfully. It's tax season and I have deeper pockets than usual but at the same time I don't want to be impulsive for what may seem like a moot upgrade. Naturally in the world of...

    Defective monitor?

    Has nothing to do with cables or graphics. Sounds like you got some stuck pixels. Try lightly applying pressure to the dots to see if they go away. I had a similar problem with an older lcd, this program worked wonders on it. http://www.jscreenfix.com/ Hope this helps!

    Eyefinity too addicting?

    I'm always late to join the latest tech trends, although my good friend runs a 24x3 eyefinity setup and I have checked out bc2 on it . . . but for me it seems to give me a headache and I found my eyes "scanning" too much. The bezels also were annoying. Perhaps it just takes a good amount of...

    FS: Sapphire 2GB 4850X2 w/ pic $100 Shipped

    For the fun of it I threw this in my rig, in place of my 4870X2 and fired up BC2 Vietnam, cranked up all the settings to max on 1920x1200 (what I play on my 26" monitor) and it plays incredibly fluidly and is beautiful. Honestly can't tell a difference in playability from my 4870X2. Running...

    I want DX11 flashy shiny bang-bangs... but don't want to get screwed. Again.

    I'm in a similar boat with my 4870X2, I'm probably going to get a 6950 and flash it to 6970 and smile about the flashy shiny bang-bangs that ensue.

    As the title states, selling a 4850X2 in the 2GB variety. This card has been used in my wife's tower for the last year and has performed flawlessly. Never abused or OC'd, and still ranks up there with the mid-range budget cards of this current generation. Will come as pictured with original...
