I got a Q6600 B3 stepping and it runs incredibly hot at stock speeds. I did some research and found this is somewhat normal. I installed with with the stock HSF and thermal material which should work fine, but I was getting 80C+ load using coretemp and PRIME95 4-core torture test. I thought I...

I have an Intel DG965OT motherboard with Core 2 Duo E6600 & 8800GTS videocard + X-FI Elite Pro. I was wondering, has anyone tried 4GB RAM with X-FI & Vista x64 on an Intel 965 chipset? I heard the X-FI drivers for XP x64 had problems (static, popping, or lack of hardware acceleration) but I...

I just bought Quake4 on XBOX 360 (must own all versions of id's games!) and the framerate is downright terrible. The XBOX360 version wavers all over the place in framerate, and is especially choppy outdoors. My P4 3.2ghz + 6800GT can run Quake4 smoothly at similar detail/resolution. The...

http://www.megagames.com/news/html/console/carmackverdictonx360ps3power.shtml John Carmack of Doom/Quake fame, arguably one of the best programmers of all time, has cast his final verdict on the next-gen console battle - giving the nod to XBOX 360 as being the superior console. Before any...

Just wanted to say thanx for stepping up moderation of the video card forums, it really needed it!

This info is from Uttar, who has been the most reliable rumor man for Nvidia in the past: http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showpost.php?p=581313&postcount=100

http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=ODIy 7800GT > X1800XL Is it me or does this look like 6800GT vs. X800PRO all over again? (Except this time the Nvidia part is much more widely available and $100 cheaper). Not a huge difference, but the 7800GT definitely seems to have the edge...

From OCUK, one of the largest ATI suppliers in the UK: * Likely no X1800XL product at launch * X1800XL might be available at end of week after launch if OCUK is lucky * No X1800XT product at launch * X1800XT likely won't be available in significant quantities until December * Prices...

Just out of curiousity, has anyone read any official statements or press releases from ATI that detail Crossfire for R520. Stuff like, will it be available at or near launch, will it have the same limitations as X850XT Crossfire, etc? I'm just wondering as ATI obviously knew that X850XT...

Unofficial for sure, interesting though http://www.hkepc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=477628 ATI X1800XL: 7016 in 3dmark05 XFX 7800GT: 7307 in 3dmark05

Such a good deal thought it was worth making a thread for :) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130247 This is cheaper than PCI-E 6800GTs were going for 3 months ago!

Brent/Kyle, was looking forward to the annual NV/ATI joust on HardOCP. I was wondering, for your review would it be possible to include benchmarks with the new Forceware v80 drivers that are multithreaded? It seems this will be Nvidia's next big driver release and it can give 10-40% gains...

Did nvidia just pull a rabbit out of its hat? XFX 7800GTX driver revision benchmarks: http://www.hardwareoc.at/Geforce-7-Treibervergleich-5.htm Some are reporting as much as 33% performance increases in FEAR with these drivers and no IQ loss. Some are reporting bugs with these drivers...

With R520 now being confirmed with 512mb RAM options at or near launch, do you think Nvidia will use this as an "excuse" to release a 512mb 7800 card with faster reference clocks than the 7800GTX?

Josh over at Penstar thinks he found the real reason behind the 1600x1200x60hz Crossfire limitation now, apparently its a limitation of the design of the compositing engine chip that is causing the problem: http://www.penstarsys.com/#upd_xfire

http://www.xboxyde.com/leech_1682_en.html awesome!

In what I think is the first time ever Carmack has ever targetted a console rather than a PC setup, he now states that XBOX360 is his target primary development platform. http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22654

http://www.apcmag.com/apc/v3.nsf/dir/XfireShots003 Snapshot from an article. Looking at the Doom3 benchmarks (the least CPU limited game they tested), it seems as if Crossfire does not provide as much performance boost as SLI, assuming these are accurate.

According to this thread at the popular gaming forum "Cheap Ass Gamer," EB, GameCrazy, GameStop, and other retail chain consumers are starting to be turned down for "launch day" preorders of XBOX360, and being added to a "Week 2" list. So, bottom line, if you want an XBOX360 at launch, now...
