I thought it was known Autopilot collects data while everyone drives a Tesla with the feature. Our phones track WAY more data along with Google.

I'm a bit surprised in 2013 the stigma around gaming is still so present in media. Is this what they fall back on when no wars or terror attacks are going on to drive ratings? What is the difference between vegging out for 3 hours to watch football and check your fantasy football stats or...

I typically do only upgrade when I get a big performance boost or I notice I can't run the latest game with all the settings cranked but the appeal of the GTX 670 is the advantages of the Kepler GPU -over the 570- is getting not only higher performance but also better thermals and power usage...

It would be nice if Hard|OCP included a BIT of the last gen GPUs (At least the top end ones in reviews) I find it helpful to gauge if I should spend another $400 on a video card or not. If I'm only picking up 5-8 FPS in games I play while keeping settings the same is it worth it to me? I have...

The Asus GTX 660Ti is power efficient, quiet AND screaming fast. Who wouldn't want to upgrade to such an amazing card? This card will rock Battlefield 3 and Guild Wars 2 and make me a happy guy! Nothing sucks worse than your frame-rate dropping just when you need performance the most in a...

Your soundcard is passing through every sound to your MIC channel so everyone else can hear this. on Creative drivers this is called "What you hear" and is not an option you want selected. It is purely a software issue. It really depends on what kind of soundcard (or onboard sound) is in your...

Thanks for the reply, I think I'll be going with a GTX570 and I'm sure it will work out great for my monitor's resolution.

Sorry to bump this thread but I've been dealing with the same issue. All the benchmarks out there compare similar price/performance cards but it would be GREAT to see a chart hitting the main card refreshes at least all one one graph. It is hard to judge if upgrading the GTX275 would be a good...

Corsair is: Fast, stable, low latency, with over-clock performance that stands above the rest. I wouldn't put anything else in my machine.

If the case were less expensive I'd stick my current setup inside to take to lan parties but I would never use that thing as my main case, looks like it should be on a construction site.

I think 14.5" is the perfect laptop size/performance you can get right now. The reason netbooks don't sell more is because if I wanted to surf the web on a small screen I'll use my iPhone which I'd rather have then an almost useless 9" netbook. You get no performance out of super small / slim...

Great review, I was recently looking to buy a new headset for PC gaming, music, and console gaming. I have the ATH-AD700's on my Amazon wish-list along with a few others that are all more expensive. These are some of the best headphones you can get without requiring a dedicated AMP and DAC as...

While the comic is funny and anyone that would spend money on a set up with the intention of doing what they comic portrays would be considered a dumbass. Think about all the people that already own an iPod Touch or iPhone. Now if one of those people buy a iPad to use a portable computer and...

Interesting to see it in action but I fully agree with the bezels right in the way of your natural focus point in games. They either need to make monitors with next to no Bezel or just keep making larger and larger computer monitors. I'd rather hook up my system to a 46" Plama TV or a...

WOW! That is one heck of a monster system, I might actually place more PC games again with beast like that!

Happy Birthday Kyle!

Wow, talk about an upgrade! Nice looking machine there ;)

Check out this story I'm not sure if it is true or not but this would mean DNF was basically used as a testbed for Unreal Engine tech and wasn't probably EVER going to be released anyway.

Good test, I'm currently in the market for a new card and was looking at these mid-level performance cards. I play mostly FPS games (Most of them were included as benchmarks in this test) but I'm also an avid WoW player. I know a lot of people still play this game and although its not...

My Intel Core2Duo e6600 processor seems to be keeping my score down.

Just out today http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_81.98.html Release Highlights: WHQL Certified Adds support for GeForce 7800 GS AGP Application compatibility fixes. For a full list of fixed and known issues please view the Release Notes. Mixed vendor support for NVIDIA SLI...

Update: While installing Windows Updates and then again while installing a game (World of Warcraft) the computer has randomly shut down. I have the latest nForce 4 Ultra chipset drivers directly from Nvidia as well as the latest Nvidia Forceware video card drivers. I tried every version of...

I just built a system for a friend who is giving it to her brother for Christmas. Motherboard is an Asus A8N-E and powersupply is Antec Neo HE 380, he lives in NC and we live in VA. He is leaving in 5 days to go back to NC so what should I do? I had the computer restart twice already while...

1. Have you ever had a hard drive fail on you? Nope. I've always used Western Digital SE drives, I've had about 5 and none have failed, I haven't heard of my old one's I've sold off with other computers failing either. 2. Have you ever had a USB Pen fail on you? (if you've used these) Nope...

I have problems playing Fable as well. The game loads fine and once I select my save file to start playing it will load and then go black. I can hear the game and the sound studders but I cannot see anything except an occasional flicker. CS:Source FPS seemed like it may have been a bit higher...

New forceware drivers out today August 11th 2005. Fixes the overbright video problem for those that didn't pick up the 77.76 beta driver. Installed fine and working great so far. Release Highlights: Support for GeForce 7800 GT SLI support for GeForce 6600 and GeForce 6600 LE New SLI...

Games matter by FAR more then anything else. I didn't build my computer with my hard earned money so I can run a "Benchmark" with a good score. The last thing I want Nvidia and ATI to do is optimize their drivers to get extra points in 3DMark while sacrificing real world game performance. I...

Damn great deal, THANK YOU for posting that one. I just ordered a gig of Cosair ram and a 16x DVD burner a few days ago from newegg.com then I see this post and I JUST HAVE TO! Most of my tax return is now NewEgg's money :) Well, now I have a Intel 2.8GHz Canterwood with HT, the Intel...

I use the install that doesn't include the Catalyst Control Center, it has everything but that. I don't like it because it was crashing on me with the 3.9s and it does take up too much ram. You can find the download without CCC here or download directly from this link. Hope that helps :)

I always use the Uninstall utility that is in the Program Files\ATI directory to fully uninstall the old drivers first, reboot and install the new ones. The 4.10 are working great for me, I'm running CS: Source @ 1280x1024 w/ 2xAA and 4xAF everything set to High and average over 70 FPS. Unreal...

When I want to upgrade my ATI drivers I just remove the old ones and install... works everytime... It's not alot of trouble and it's not difficult to do. I find it funny you went to this thread to post your comment since you don't own an ATI card and the person was asking for help not a...

You need more ram for any modern game to run smoothly, I would recommend getting the fastest ram you can as well. If you are at a point of maxing out your motherboard you might just want to wait to upgrade to a new Motherboard/Processor combo and grab ram for that.

Actually if you check your Program Files\ATI\Uninstal (or something similar, I'm at work) you will find a single file called unistallall.exe (or something similar, again) Run that and it will remove all traces of previous drivers and uninstall everything for you with one click. Then reboot and...

Absurd they feel the need to make threats on the basis of [H]ard | OCP's opinion. Hard's opinion's are pretty much in line what hardware enthusiasts think of 3DMark2005 its fun to post your scores and compare but would I use the results to make a video card choice? Hell no! There are too many...

Nice find... I'm posting from work too :) Hope I never have a job where I can't view Hard | OCP from...

One thing that cannot be discounted is the passion and pursuit of great hardware and great gaming that shows through in all of Hard|OCP's reviews. While other sites are releasing 3D Mark scores or general FPS charts, Hard|OCP is revolutionizing benchmarking and taking a true stand to show...

No responses!? I thought you guys were the best at this stuff :)

I built my newest computer about 3-4 months ago. Its a 2.8GHz Canterwood w/800 FSB, HT, ect. And I paired it with the D875PBZ motherboard. At the time I wasn't interested in :rolleyes: overclocking:rolleyes: and I just wanted a pretty fast, stable system. Currently I'm not using any SATA...
