    Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Performance and IQ Review @ [H]

    If you're running around engaging people at 20 yards with your F2000 using IRNV so the entire world is green and yellow, graphics settings don't matter. Trying to pick someone out of the background at 900m for the perfect headshot, low settings don't cut it.

    Newegg.com Deals 10/5

    How about a deal on a 32GB Class 10 MicroSD card? With the GalaxyS2 just launching, I can't be the only one looking.

    Newegg.com Deals 2/16

    It's more expensive than usual because it's the Eyefinity6 edition, with 6 mini-DP ports.

    I tried the iPhone4, but sorry the EVO and Android is much better

    I have a a 3GS now, and my wife has a 4. I'll be going to an Android device when I can because I really hate the soft keyboard. Give me slide-out, or give me... well, or give me a soft keyboard, but I'd really prefer a slide-out!

    Sandy Bridge 2500K

    I purchased a 2500K for my new build, thinking I'd never really use the HT. I've recently become enthralled with F@H, however and the lure of -bigadv calls to me. I have the retail box, unused heatsink. I've had it OC'd to 4.7 pretty much the whole time I've owned it, running at 1.375v, it's...

    3x22" + 1x30": Can this be done?

    Assuming your 22s also have DVI, it won't be a problem. DVI and HDMI "share" clocks, ie you can only have 2 of any combo of those. Each DP has it's own clock, so assuming you have a reference 6950 w/ 2 mini-DP, 2DVI and an HDMI, you're good to go even without adapters. 30" to DP#1 (might need a...

    Eyefinity: CCC sees 3 monitors, can only create 2 monitor group

    I can only have two monitors showing a desktop at any one time. As far as I can tell, the adapter is active in that it says "Powered from Minidisplayport source" I can only ever use two monitors at a time, in any combination. I have tried restarting, replugging, etc. Thanks for all the help...

    Eyefinity: CCC sees 3 monitors, can only create 2 monitor group

    Actually, my adapter looks just like This adapter which is ATI certified for Eyefinity. I assumed it was passive because it doesn't have external power, but neither does that one, and mine says "Powered from MiniDisplayPort source" indicating that it is active...

    Eyefinity: CCC sees 3 monitors, can only create 2 monitor group

    Yeah, it looks like I confused since people were reporting having success with passive adapters, but they're using DP>VGA adapters, which, apparently is OK. "So here's the jist. If you want to have all 3 monitors hooked up via a digital signal (probably most people who spend the money for 3...

    Does HDMI 1.3 AV receiver work with 3D?

    Gaming Benefit

    If the processor is holding you back (it is) you're CPU limited, not GPU limited. Therefore, any increase in CPU performance will result in a benefit in game performance. CPU limited would be like running a Phenom II 965 with dual $400 video cards... GPU limited would be like running an i7 980x...

    Premium Feature: Not Blue

    That annoyed me too. Not sure what was up with the pastel color scheme this release, but everything was like that! I went with the UD4 ($225) over the Asus offerings because it wasn't pastel. Yes, I traded UEFI BIOS for black PCI connectors. LOL

    Gaming Benefit

    You're talking way old tech with the E8400. Heck, even the i5680 is obsolete now. For a few dollars more, you can move up to the brand new Sandy Bridge (2500K=$224). There really won't be any comparison. For example, if you're playing FFXIV at 1280x1024, you'll see an astounding 1571 more...

    Sandy bridge for a HTPC build?

    If you're using it for just an HTPC, leave out the 260, you won't need it which is a nice bonus to SB. If you are using it for gaming, again the 260 isn't great because it's not really fast enough to drive games at 1920x1080 and it doesn't have HDMI out. Plus it's loud and power hungry (at...

    Saw some P67 boards at Fry's today

    Thanks! I thought I remembered seeing one, but then could never find it again making me think I was mistaken and I'd seen an 1156 board. Hopefully the Egg has em on release day. Pricing expected to be near Maximus III levels, I'd assume?

    Anyone else sat out the i-cores?

    As much as I want to pull for the green team, I've been sitting on my Q6600 for long enough and am totally CPU-locked in games right now. Add to that I'm on a cheap P5QL mobo that I can't make it stable over 3GHz, and I'm itching for SB. CPU/Mobo/RAM/SSD upgrade? Can't wait!

    Aftermarket coolers for Sandy?
