    Best Gaming CPU for $300

    Need upgrade advice

    r9 270x or the 7870ghz edition are good cards (even though the prices are still inflated atm). gtx 670 + is a good deal on nvidia side. I would be wary buying used Amd because of being possible miners.

    Spec me a motherboard!

    I know these were really popular about a year ago. Not sure now but the best part about this mobo is the cpu to gpu spacing so you can fit a dh-14 if you so wish. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131840

    Picking up a new card today

    If you are upgrading from a 660ti, a 760 wont be too much of an improvement. I would say a 770 would be more future proof as it shows to be a hair better/equal to a Gtx 680.

    Time to upgrade. Which one? Help!

    I would say if you were buying used, get a 7850 (~95-110) as it performs well for its price. Dont buy a new 7850 for 160 though. If you don't mind spending 200 for a r9 270 i would go for that as i am not familiar with Canadian pricing.

    Asus HD7850 crossfirex questions

    Have you tried disabling ULPS, easiest way to do that is through Afterburner but there are other ways as well you can google. Are both cards 2 GB, if not itwould be throttling to 1 GB. Also the 7850 are real good overclockers, i have one that I undervolted and running at 1050 core and 1450 mem...

    Need compatible Available Vid card for Crossfire

    i would look into used 6950's, make sure you buy a 2GB since thats what you have and fairly important for 1080p gaming. You can occasionally find used 6950's for around 120 on the sale section of this forum. Or you could in fact sell yours on ebay (best time to sell it imo because of the...

    What is a good free program to test a new gpu?

    I use Unigine Heaven for benchmark performance/real world gaming performance and i use Furmark for Cooling performance (~10-15 mins is all you need to see where your temps stay at) Usually its around 10-15 degrees cooler playing demanding games and from running furmark in my experience. So if...

    Video Card Recomendation for $200

    i would also recommend a 270X at the 200 pricepoint. If you are willing to buy used you may be able to get a gtx 670 at that price as well.

    Graphics card fan failure, do video cards have a failsafe?

    Im not completely sure but when i was messing around with fan profiles on a gtx 660 and forgot to reset it, basically made it run at 100% at a very low rpm, computer bsod on me after 100 degrees on the gpu.

    Getting back into PC Gaming advice needed

    i played bf4 with a sapphire 7970 and while it played most maps fine at ultra at 60fps+ . Some maps, floodzone, hainan, paracel hit around 45-50 at certain spots. I think if you can find a 280x that would get the job done.

    Pre-Christmas upgrade

    i think 290x is a good choice, the only reason you would regret it is if you don't like normal high temps and fan noise at uber settings. Although it is winter and that means a warm room :-)

    Upgrading from GTX260 216 Core

    There aren't a ton of differences nowadays with brands, mostly cooling and overclocked versions. Here is at MSI 7870 i found http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127722&ignorebbr=1

    Upgrading from GTX260 216 Core

    You are going to see quite a bit of better frames and quality in wow even if you upgrade to a 7870 which is around the ~130 card, probably also quieter/cooler and less power hungry than the gtx 260.

    Battlefield 4 Windows 7 vs. 8.1 Performance Review @ [H]

    i realized the choppiness because after several installations of drivers and windows 7 my gpu was around 40-60% usage in bf4 resulting in the choppiness. For some reason, i am consistently at 85-100% usage in windows 8.

    Need some advise!

    From experience, a 7970ghz/r9 280x plays most games 1080p at 60fps fine. Like Kickasscop said, if you can wait another month or so (which is not confirmed yet), r9 290 @$400 with aftermarket cooling would be ideal and would last a good deal imo.

    Battlefield 4 Windows 7 vs. 8.1 Performance Review @ [H]

    I have a 7970 @1100core and 1500mem with 2500k running @4.5. Would be choppy and get random frame drops in windows 7. Switching to windows 8, it completely fixed the choppiness and random frame drops.

    Older SSD Performance on Battlefield 4?

    What's a worthwhile upgrade from 6950?

    7870XT/LE (are the 7870 with the Tahiti cores like the 7950/7970) . I have one and it plays battlefield 4 great(50-60fps all ultra, and 60-80fps if you turn off hbao and AA) for the price that i bought it for ($130). Overclocks very well too. A 7970 will run most of your games max at 1080p as...

    Upgrading from an i5 to i7?

    i went from a 2500k @4.5ghz to a Xeon E3-1230V2 (basically a 3770 without the built in gpu) and i saw some difference in basic video editing but i didnt see much of a difference in gaming. Maybe 2-3 fps.

    HD7870XT (Powercolor MYST) temps keep rising in Kombustor

    I was just wondering since you guys have experience with these Myst cards. Do you think a i3-3220 or fx-6350 would bottleneck if i were to run two of these mysts cards in crossfire? Sorry for being offtopic and thanks.
