    So my GTX 670 died... I picked up a GTX 960... meh

    So... the 960 is slightly faster... I'll give it that. But, it may just be me, but games seem to take much longer to load. And if I alt-tab out of a game, that's a bit slower as well. I don't game above 1920x1080, and super high details don't mean much I'm betting this has something...

    What do I need for 3 monitors on a GTX 670?

    Can someone with experience link me to a cable that won't break the bank? Preferably monoprice? As I understand it, i'll need a display port, and then use the two DVI's but i'm a little lost there... The instruction manuals from MSI are useless and don't even cover 3d surround, so I fall to...

    GTX 470 "freezing up" and then recovering

    Sys specs i7 2600k @ 4.0Ghz 8GB RAM Asus p8p67 I basically only play 3 games. BF3 - runs fine Left4Dead2 - will very rarely freeze up Diablo 3 - The Devil's in the details. The card pretty much hops and stays at 75C (according to MSI afterburner) as soon as the game is fired...

    not so [warm] - woot off / NT

    I said NT... I tried to save you the trouble of reading whatever I decide to put here... Hmm... How about a random multidimentional equation. Yellow + 3 = banana. See what you got yourself into by not reading the subject line?!? :confused::confused::confused:

    GTX470 vs GTX580

    What sort of performance difference should I expect? I play BF3... That's probably the most graphically intense game. Should I wait for the new cards to come out since it seems like all GTX580's are going for 450+ ?

    Can I offload video encoding to a 8800GTX?

    I've got a new sandybridge build, and it runs great with my GTX 470. However I have a 8800GTX that is doing nothing... I like to stream games to justin.tv and it would be awesome if I could offload the process to the 8800GTX... Can/does anyone know the right direction to look? The...

    Can a 8800 GTX be used as video encoder?

    If you are familiar with xsplit or wirecast, you know what i'm talking about... Streaming to justin.tv etc... What software will take advantage of it? I like xsplit and wirecast is good but expensive.

    Help selecting a mobo ?

    I want to go intel. Overclocking isn't that important but I want a board that will do it if I so choose. Its looking like the i7 2600k is the way to go on a proc if I can find it for ~250. I have a GTX 470, and really will only need suggestions on the mobo and ram. I think 8GB of GSKILL...

    Tesselation in games...

    Pretty slick new technology isn't it? No... it isn't. New that is. When Carmack released the quake source, many engines spawned from it - many were just minor improvements on the GLQuake, but one engine (don't ask me which one... I wish I could remember) did "tessellation." It was a...

    Stereoscopic 3D on the GTX 470

    Anyone ever get a [HOT] deal at a pawn shop?

    So yesterday, I stop by a pawn shop, and there's an obviously pretty poor guy that is selling his PS3... I heard the store clerk say "Man... I can barely do 100 for you... I'm almost taking a loss there." And i'm sure he'll try to sell it at MSRP. I was halfway tempted to say to the...

    Just swapped my 8800GTX for a GTX 470

    Decent difference... The 8800GTX was always a beast of a card, able to handle some pretty high res, even in todays modern games like borderlands and such. Dragon Age: Origins - not so much though. So, i've only played two games with it - don't really have an interest to try much else at...

    Eyefinity with a core2duo?

    So my center speaker is no more... I'm not looking to spend an outrageous amount (ie - over 50 bucks or so) for a decent center speaker to compliment my current z-5500's. Anyone have a good suggestion? Ebay turns up Bose speakers that are just flat outrageously priced and I just won't...

    z-5500's - is this a feature or do I have a bad set?

    Ideas for adding 5.1 surround to my 46" aquos

    So yah! The title says it all pretty much minus one thing. I don't need a unit that has a DVD player - I already have a upscaling DVD player. So basically, all I want is a 5.1 surround sound unit that will take the optical output from my aquos. Anyone had any good luck with a price...

    Is my e6300 @ 3.0 keeping my 8800 GTX back?

    So I have just upgraded from my 8800 GTS 320 to a GTX.... right off the bat, crysis runs fantastic on high settings. But... how much is the processor holding it back? I'm thinking a little, but I do have it OC'ed to 3.0.... I realize the L2 cache is small, but still... any ideas?

    Buy another 8800 GTS 320 to run in SLI?
