    RTX 3080 Founder's Edition Review by Gamer's Nexus.

    Saw a bunch of reviews today, I think Gamernexus nailed it. They are producing some high quality content these days.

    Starlink Public Beta About to Happen?!?!

    Exactly, they were talking about 500mbps in the original release... however that's for the entire satellite / region. So it's divided by how many people are using it.. Ultimately this is going to lead to 10mbps once they get 100 customers on there (I'm using the assumption that not everyone will...

    Microsoft Announces Surface Book

    My biggest issue is that they announced that you could get 1 TB of storage space for the Surface Pro however you can't order 1 TB of space on the Surface Book. Seriously? I've had 1 TB of storage in my Macbook Pro for 2 years already! I'm not going to downgrade in storage space with a new...

    Drone Crashes At Movie Premier, Injures Baby

    Whoa whoa, we're talking about an 11 month baby. I think we can find common ground between being over-protective and being close enough to the baby to prevent it from being harmed. What if it was a soccer ball? Or a frisbee? (They were in a park), I bet a random frisbee or even a baseball...

    Drone Crashes At Movie Premier, Injures Baby

    People like that are what keep me up at night! Hey, I fly drones all the time (hell, I'm an enthusiast and I have dedicated a rather large portion of time supporting drones however like I say in my drone intro, (https://sites.google.com/site/bestdronesreview/) it's just a matter of time before...

    The Real Reason Netflix Won't Offer Offline Downloads

    This makes perfect sense. My parents wouldn't know how to handle the files and would likely complain that it's taking a lot of time for the movie to 'load'. The big misconception is that Netflix is doing well because it's legal. It's not. It's doing well because it's simple. Netflix wins...

    Would a GTX 970 be a good upgrade for my rig?

    This isn't a car engine... it's electricity. That means that if your components aren't drawing more power, your power supply shouldn't draw more power either. That's why some people measure power at the outlet. To answer the OP's question though: Having a single videocard would be better...

    G.E. Has Discovered a New Way to Refrigerate

    Still very cool, I applaud any advances in refrigeration... it's been what... a few decades since we've been doing the exact same thing? If this could revolutionize the world the way L.E.D. lights have, I think we would all benefit!

    Do Not Track in the Windows 8 Setup Experience

    While I don't want to get into an argument about any of this (just wanted to share my opinions), I'd like to point out that most people are stuck on the word track. When you buy anything in a store (physical store), the person helping you frequently gets a commission / sale. Even in places...

    Do Not Track in the Windows 8 Setup Experience

    Corsair Vengeance RAM Giveaway! 5 12GB Kits!

    Corsair always performs well and looks good in my computer at the same time. Performance is more important of course, especially when I'm overclocking my CPU 176%!

    Unigine "Heaven" DirectX 11 Benchmark

    Really? I was *very* impressed. Been gaming for a long time and this is pretty mind blowing in terms of visual quality. What stood out? Well, it was pretty much the amount of detail in everything: rocks, buildings, stairs, etc. If you just look at it quickly, it looks like older demos...

    FTC to Monitor Blogs for Conflicts of Interest, False Claims

    Why are blogs suddenly bad? True, blogs are usually written by a single individual and he can have opinions about a certain subject. Does that mean that all blogs are bad? On the contrary, once you get to know a blogger, you begin to understand how he thinks and why he says the things he...

    Corsair H50 CPU Cooler Preview.

    Hey Kyle, that was a really well done review. I loved that you let the numbers speak for themselves and I don't think anyone can argue with the tests that you did. For those that are slightly attention deficient, it would be nice to be able to skip to the 'good parts', maybe having your...

    Gaming PC site review request

    Umm, that's a good question, as far as I know, the water cooling systems that they build are extremely resistant to long term use. From the owner, they have been selling watercooling systems for a few years and have never had any issues with the watercooling system longevity.

    ASUS ENGTX280 TOP

    Am I the only one that got the impression that the review was slightly biased? Yes it was a decent review and I definitely enjoyed the comparison between the 280 and the 4870x2. In fact, I'd be more likely to purchase a 280GTX because I fear microstuttering. However! From the...

    BenQ V2400W User Reviews @ [H]Forum

    Hello, I'm an reader [H], computer repair tech, gaming enthusiast and full time geek/jock. Sometimes it's hard to pass up a good offer like this one, I'd probably have to keep the screen for 149$ if it lives up to it's expectations. One the one hand, the avid gamer in me looks for the...

    ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series @ [H]

    I have an EVGA 8800 GT 512 megs with a watercooled system... and the card is barely audible. It only gets noisy at startup, when the fan goes full throttle... but that's normal, all fans turn at 100% when you startup. 2 seconds after, you can't hear a thing. I can't imagine the ATI card...

    ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series @ [H]

    What the? Am I the only one that thinks that [H] got overly excited about these videocards? Sure, the 3850 sounds decent and its better than the GTS. But nowadays, people are either buying a 8600 GT (at ~110-120$) OR an 8800 GT at 239$. I'm looking at the costs of the ATI 3870 megs vs the...

    Intel Core 2 Gaming Performance

    I personally think this is one of the worse [H] reviews in a long time because it provides a magnified image of a product. This article should of been called: "CPU scaling in high resolution gaming" and NOT Core Duo gaming Why? For starters, the bottleneck is obviously the videocard...

    Making numerous backup images quickly

    Actually I was considering keeping all the images myself, and if they call me for service, I can quickly restore their system. I read a LOT, and i'm leaning towards just using Ghost 2003 with burn to DVD.

    Making numerous backup images quickly

    am a system builder and I would like to make massive amounts of ghost images for all my customers, so that if something goes wrong, they can quickly restore their computer from 1-2 DVDs. Now, what's the best way to do this ? How do big corporations like Dell/HP do it ? I do not want to...

    Also would like to know what things might degrade system performance

    Choppy icon dragging seems like videocard drivers Extra slow loading times are sometimes signs that the hard drive is failing (although I'd be surprised if that Seagate 250 was failing, those are very reliable) Networking time-outs are also known to slow down systems, but I would have to...

    Ultimate Value Intel / AMD rigs in here

    I agree that for $7, the ram upgrade is definately worth it. (it's much more than that in Canada) And I'll check out that specific DFI board, I haven't used it which is why I didn't recommend it. (although I have used various DFI boards in the past)

    Dang, nice o/c on that 4.1ghz, is that on air?

Now for ECS, I would consider this normal since they are often the cheapest choice...

    yeah same idea, American pricing ^^^ I bet it could be even cheaper if you didn't use Corsair ram (although Corsair is nice to have) Good case too, even though when building on a budget, I sometimes go cheaper. I wouldn't use a BenQ DVD burner though (they break after 1 year!), nor the...

    You know, by looking at your sig, you probably already know what to build him... I think we know he'll end up with an FX-60 probably an X1900XT if he likes ATI or 2 7900 GTX if he likes Nvidia Raptor 150gig would be nice too... it's not challenging when he has a budget of 3500+ heh
