I upgraded from my Sapphire 4850x2 2GB card to Gigabyte's 770 4GB card. Good lord, what a jump in performance. I currently game at 1920x1200 on a 24" LG 246W. I plan on upgrading to a 27" or 30" in the next year or two. What do you guys recommend I try benchmarking this card with? I...

Hi all, Please correct me if I'm wrong. As I understand it, if I buy a 6950 now (let's say a 2GB reference card), I can purchase any 6950 a year or two from now and crossfire the cards, right? Is there any situation where I wouldn't be able to crossfire another 6950 card with the original...

I can't read any of the helpful tips that show up during level/area loads in Fallout 3 because the levels load too quickly. =P

Hey all, My friend posted about his problems in the motherboard sub-forum but I thought that it might get more of a response here. Thanks in advance for your time and any suggestions! (from this post: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1389331)

Hi all. I'm doing some research and I'm out of my normal comfort level of experience and knowledge, so here I am. This time I'm trying to give advice for a good video card that will fit in the ultra-small form factor optiplex 755. Thank you very much in advance for any recommendations...

I'm going to be developing a site with images I've made on it. I'd like visitors to be able to comment on each image, and I'd like each image to have a download counter. I would like to be able to have pages showing a list of the most-downloaded images, highest rated, most comments, etc...

Obviously, I'm going to assume right off that the Quads do much better. I'm just wondering how much better a, for instance, Q6600 performs vs. C2Ds of a similar price-range. I'm also assuming that Intel is performing better than AMD's latest Quad-core offering, but please correct me if I'm...

I'm dual booting XP (32 bit) and Vista x64. I installed Vista x64 to see if performance would be comparible in the primary game I've been playing right now, Call of Duty 4. I have an Opteron 170 (think AMD 64 X2 4000), 2GB RAM, an MSI Neo2 Platinum, and a 6800 Ultra (AGP). The performance...

I'm looking to purchase a Wacom Intuos3 tablet. I'd prefer a 9x12 or 12x19 and was hoping someone might have one used here before I purchase a new model. Thanks!

Hi guys. I've been doing a lot of reading on this forum & other sites' forums for hard drive reviews, but have found few recently updated within the last few months. On StorageReview the synthetic benchmarks show the Hitachi drives doing very well, but I haven't found a single praise report...

Hi all. I've been reading this forum for a while to see if any similar threads showed up, and I'll be doing more searches to see what others have done in the past. I'd like some advice. A client of mine is a photographer who wants to increase his storage. He also wants to keep his data...

Hi everyone. I'm starting to do research on good displays and would like input on 24+" displays for graphics and gaming on the side. From searching and reading the forum stickies, the Dell 2407 seems like a good compromise for good-enough color reproduction and a great gaming display (...

What do you guys recommend? He wants to be able to game on it.

I have 2x512 XMS3200 and 2x512 XMS 3200C2 dimms. I'm probably going with a MSI K8N Neo2 Plat and an Opteron 170. I know everyone's getting great overclocks and performance and such, but a lot of people don't have 4 dimms and have 2 high speed 1gb dimms. I'm not going to replace my ram...

Subject says most of my question: My only concern is that somehow a dual core Opteron won't perform as well as a single core HT P4 when I'm running Photoshop, Premiere, Flash 8, winamp, ftp prog, notepad, etc together at the same time. I game a ton and I'm not concerned about that as...

I'm deciding on a mobo. I'm keeping my agp 6800 ultra oc and 2gb ddr ram. Any recommendations on either the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum or Epox 9nda3+? I plan to overclock an Opteron 165 or 170 to the max.

[edit] Nevermind! I found this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=967946&highlight=pin+adapter Subject says it all - what are 20-24 pin adapters for on power supplies? Why do some people need them? How can I tell if I need one?

I'll be posting pics later, while away from my house I think my pump failed, water boiled, blew a tube, then proceeded to melt more of the tubes completed off the waterblock that cooled my peltier. Anyways, the CPU/Mobo are toast... I tried starting it up again and the CPU stays cool. I took...

Hi guys, I'm thinking about getting a laptop in the next year to be able to work on my animation and film projects while on the road and away from home. This is looking like it's going to have to be a $3-4k investment which is slightly depressing, but I want to do my research. I've looked...

Hey guys, In your experience, for those of you who have 3520As by NEC, which media allows you to burn at 16x (that's only 8x... I don't want to pay for Verbatim's 16x media)? Where can I buy it? Rima, Meritline... Best Buy? I'm also going to be using haxored firmware if you guys don't...
