    Theoretical Scenario: What if either nVidia or AMD stopped making graphic cards?

    AMD already has its own fabs as well as agreements with other semi-conductor producing companies to use their fabs in case they need additional capacity (IBM). I assume there would be a temporary price increase (supply and demand) while AMD moved the production line somewhere else, I also assume...

    NVIDIA 3D Vision Poll

    I would be willing to use 3D glasses if the effect was convincing and had an immersive effect. The only 3D I've ever witnessed was the polarized 3D glasses used at the movie theater, which I thought worked pretty well. I think if 3D is done correctly, it could create an immersive environment...

    which 5770

    I am running a new PowerColor 5770, it is factory overclocked by 25mhz from the reference board. The cooler that it comes with is very very quiet, which is extremely important to me, and I have a GPU core temperature of only 59 (typical) to 63 (max) degrees celsius under 100% GPU load. I have...

    X1900XTX -> 5770 power consumption

    Looks like the 5770 uses half the power. I've been running my 5770 for a few days now, 3-4X the frame rate for half the power is feeling pretty good to me.

    X1900XTX -> 5770 power consumption

    Hmm... so my X1900XTX isn't too far off the new HD5770. :( I have a 3-4 year old Antec SP-500 2.0 modular 500watt psu.

    X1900XTX -> 5770 power consumption

    I am finally upgrading my machine after 3.5 years. I am trying to avoid upgrading the power supply. I understand that the 5770 uses just over 100 watts of power under full load, but I can't find a clear figure for the power consumption of my current X1900XTX under load. I am worried that my...

    FS: MacBook 2GHz Core Duo

    SOLD! I am keeping the original post for reference: I have a white 2GHz Core Duo MacBook with a superdrive (DVD-Burner) and 2GB of g-skill memory that I am looking to get rid of (I upgraded to a MBP). The unit works extremely well, there is nothing wrong with it outside of cosmetics. I...

    Help me convince my friend...

    Tell him to run ATI tray tools and turn on the OSD. Just check the Free Video Memory check box and start playing a game. Almost every game I play uses less than 256MB of the VRAM on my X1900XTX. :)

    To wait, or not to wait, that is the question.

    Nice price on the GTX! If you end up getting one I hope you have fun with it. ;)

    To wait, or not to wait, that is the question.

    What games are you playing that really require the 8800's horsepower at this moment? Your 7800GT is no slouch (I had one). Everyone needs to reevaluate whether or not that upgrading their video cards is actually necessary, especially when they already have a decently quick card. Laying down $600...

    Still for sale. Remember I will be willing to trade for 512MB of DDR2 533 memory for this.

    FS: inexpensive 1U rack server chassis

    It does have a riser card, you can see it in the first picture. The only issue is I do not see a cutout for the PCI slot. You could either cut this out yourself, or just remove the backplate as its completely removable as a separate piece.

    Best Linux Distro

    Another vote for Ubuntu. I just started using linux and tried to start with Fedora Core 6. ATI driver support with linux is really bad and I couldn't get Fedora to play nice with my X1900XTX for the life of me after changing my xorg.conf for hours. Ubuntu worked out of the box for me. :)

    I have a Slinger Designs (made for tachyon networks) 1U rack server chassis complete with 200W PSU up for sale. This unit is brand new, I took it out of its packaging to test the powersupply. This thing is made out of black powder coated THICK and solid steel, its one of the best built cases...

    WTB: 512MB generic DDR2 533/667

    I need 512MB (may even settle for 256MB) of generic DDR2 533 or 667. I am looking to pay $10-25 shipped. I will also trade 2X256MB DDR2 667 (hynix) laptop memory (came out of Core Duo MacBook).

    Dieing Antec SP500 fan

    Your right :) I was comparing the fan to a stock AMD HSF while I had my PSU disassembled and mistakingly thought the AMD HSF was 80mm. I havent used 80mm fans in years, 120mm ftw! I'm gonna see if I can find an 80X80X15 fan now. ;)
