Howdy. :) After a few months off I'm returning to GPU reviewing (now for rage3d), and I'll be evaluating EVGA's GTX 560 Duke Edition... I'll be comparing it to EVGA's GTX 460 768mb... but I really, really want to do an SLI Compare-o. At the moment I can't seem to be able to obtain another...

Dang it. Afterburner shows that my GPU temps don't even get all that hot, approaching 60 degrees C even after a couple hours of BC2. GPU memory usage @ 1280x720, 16x CSAA is around 595mb. Cards are two EVGA Superclock 768mb. PSU is my old 650W Antec Earthwatts that has previously handled an...

Title says it all. I'm getting back into the hardware reviewing game after a 5-month sabbatical and "change of residence"... I downgraded CPUs for a while (using an unlocked x3 720BE presently, which I'd trade if need be) but need some 6-core lovin' again. I'll likely go Bulldozer after it's...

I know not many people have this game but I need a favor: I need two screenshots, fairly hi-rez... One of multiplayer... And one in the SP campaign in a similar setting to the MP screenshot... AND WITH THE SAME GUN. I have yet to see actual comparisons as of yet... Are there any...

This is my one WTTF/WTB thread. A simple list. Get ahold of me if you can help. :) My BIG FS/FT thread (for trading purposes): http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1295959 CURRENT WTB/WTTF ITEMS: A couple 120mm fans and/or a couple 92mm ones. A GOOD 450W+ PSU for a 939 rig I need to...

GOT ONE. THREAD DEAD. :)

I have an ATX AMD-based gaming rig that's up to snuff for today's titles that I want to sell here.. I'm not going to entertain any part-out offers. If this can't be sold whole, then I'll think about that. Components: Gigabyte GA-MA78LM-S2H AM3/AM2+/AM2 motherboard - 760G chipset, mATX...

Greetings. This laptop has a P150 CPU, 40mb RAM, a 1gb hard drive, it comes with a Megahertz XJ10BT PCMCIA NIC, and includes a working adapter. Battery does not work... no dead pixels, screen is nice and bright, 800x600 resolution. NT 4.0 is installed, but it's set up for a Xerox employee...

The release of the GTX 590 is approaching, and as a reviewer, my 650W Antec Earthwatts served just fine for my GTX 450/460/465/570 & 580 reviews... but I can't be certain that the Antec would be a good PSU for a review scenario for the upcoming GTX 590; as I'll need to be able to test its...

I'm going to travel cross-country in about 10 months and have some preparing to do... I'd really like to get a (likely used) laptop that allows me to play games such as UT3, Gears of War, Halo 2, Prey, Doom 3, HL2/CS:S and BF2... at high settings (don't need AA/AF) at a 1280x720 resolution (or...

So i evaluated an NVIDIA reference GTX 570 as well as an EVGA 570 SC; compared them with a GTX 580 in a relatively simple, 6 game/3 synthetic benchmark performance review... I get done with it an publish it; and I take one of the 570s out an plug the 580 back in. ... And I'm sitting there...

So I'm doing some GPU testing in various games. I don't want to use plain-jane 2x or 4x AA, I want to explore the other modes... and for what it's worth I want to check them out while having Multisample selected in the Transparency checkbox, as IMO there's no sense in checking out high-end AA...

I have an HD 5830 that I got in May for a great price, and I love it. 256-bit goodness. :p I also ended up with a GTX 460 768, and also got to play around for a while with two GTS 450s until I sold them... oh an a GTX 465 was mine for a while too. Needless to say I'm pretty accustomed to...

I riffed on a Techspot article this morning HERE.

Geeks3D reports that the NVIDIA GTX 580 is no longer a myth, legend, wife's tale or silly pirate allegory. When, where and what? We'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, Geeks3D's eagle-eyed finding within a 3D Vision System Requirements list will have to suffice. SOURCE

Available at the Egg. Wow! I know, it's only 200 mhz faster than the x3 720 Black which has become one of the most respected gaming CPUs out there, but maybe the supply has gotten low... plus, hey, AMD still has to speed-bin some chips, and getting these to us at $89? Awesome! I mean...

I just rebuilt my system, and have a Mushkin Enhanced Callisto Plus 60gb set to AHCI as boot drive. I also have two WD2500KS drives laying around, and I'd like to RAID 0 them in this rig. Is that possible? The nforce 980a has 5 SATA ports, but it seems that the BIOS setting for IDE/RAID/AHCI...

Title says it all. I'd like to learn more about this, especially with regards to my preferred screen sizes.

For a year, my media/gaming rig (which I use more than my desk PC) had a single WD2500AKS Caviar Blue. Nice drive. Quiet, and it felt fast. When I rebuilt the system with a new mobo/CPU etc (and was going for a Win7 upgrade), I picked up 2x WD2500KS drives, which were a bit older than the...

I have a very cool (temp-wise) case, decent 120mm fans, a CPU cooler that is about as good as a Thermalright Ultra 120, heatpiped MOSFET/NB, and a PSU that is somewhere between good and great (Antec EA-650)... RAM installed is 2x2gb DDR3, I have no probs running it lower than 1600 if I have...

Before Catalyst 10.6, I was able to overclock my 800/4000 HD 5830 to 920/1250... a pretty nice overclock. But on 10.6 and later, I can't apply those clock speeds properly, and my new ceiling looks suspiciously and exactly like the AMD Overdrive limit (875/1200)... I don't have Overdrive...

I had an issue with overclocking a GTS 450 with GPU PhysX enabled. Without it enabled on an EVGA FTW Edition, I was able to hit somewhere around 960/4800 on stock voltage. But with PhysX set to GPU and via testing Fluidmark and 3DMark, I couldn't get anywhere near that; I could only get to...

MY grandmother's PC needs an upgrade from A64 3000+ to an x2... Vista is being put on the system, and she uses Photoshop with large images quite a bit, so another core would really help the rig out (it does have 3gb DDR, so it's good there). PM me if you can help me (her) out. :)

I'm pretty much done screwing with XP, but my grandmother's been using a non-legit copy installed by some schmuck for WAY too long (and needs an OS reinstall pronto), and furthermore the "IT guy" at her church notified me that he needs some copies of WinXP as well. So I'm looking for five legit...
