I would say wait until the 6970 "Cayman" parts come out. From the rumors they are not necessarily going to be faster, but they could be a much better value proposition than the GTX 580. AMD is being frustratingly tight-lipped with details - not much has been leaked on this one. As far as...

LOL... well if you want a PC with a fan awkwardly on the front and with an underpowered video card, then I guess it is good. The V3 system is configurable too.. http://www.v3gamingpc.com/desktops/move3ds.html amen

Maybe, but I've spent A LOT of time with the SG05 and it takes some significant modification to do what they've done there (ie. keep it looking stock from the outside + everything still fits + using a larger video card (up to 9.5"). My thoughts exactly. Plus, liquid-cooling is a selling...

It depends heavily on the operating system actually. Crysis tends to run at much higher frame rates in XP compared to Vista, largely because of quality settings but also because most everything runs slower in Vista. I know where you are coming from with poor performance at 1680x1050 with a...

Found this on SD. Thought it would be pretty relevant to the [H] crowd. Hello, I just received word of a pretty cool deal that will happen between November 28th and December 1st. Apparently you can go to Newegg.com or TigerDirect.com and purchase any of their pre-selected (they select...

Hello, I know a lot about computers. I can tell you pretty much anything you need to know about any component in your rig. But I will be the first to admit I know next to nothing about networking and wireless security. I came across a problem last year while living in an off-campus...

I don't know if this is old, but I think Newegg just launched this thing called the AMD Weekly Deal. Also, I am no genius but chances are good that this means there will be a new deal on AMD-based products each week. Check it out here: http://promotions.newegg.com/AMD/WeeklyDeals/ The...

In my opinion, the PPU is far from worthless. I reviewed it almost two years ago when it first came out, and at that time I concluded that it was pretty good at what it did, but since no mainstream games had any sort of notable PhysX integration then it really wasn't going to command a lot of...

Both of you should really be looking at the Radeon HD4870. dmcollin, for the resolution you want to run your games at, you will benefit from the higher amount of graphics memory (1GB GDDR5) on the HD4870. Also, since you don't want to do AA, the 4870 has enough raw power to pump those kind of...

I have run the HD 4870 on that exact power supply before. I also had 3 hard drives and an E8500 so your system probably needs even less power. It also helps that the Corsair 450VX is a pretty sick power supply for being on the "lower end" of the output scale. You should be fine. Good luck...

I would stay with the 4870 for sure. If you wanted to, you could up to a CrossFire-ready motherboard and a second 4870 for less than the $450 it costs for a GTX 280.

It is possible to find the Radeon HD4870 in the $200 range. Are you against buying it online? http://www.passwird.com/#newsitemEkElZZFlEliqeNrcOI This deal might not happen again, but still.

Can you describe the beeping sound before? Was it in any particular sequence? You can usually determine what is going wrong with the board if it is beeping in some discernible pattern. Go in and make sure all the power connections are secure. It is also a good idea to reseat your video card...

The LANBOX Lite is actually designed in such a way that the exhaust from the Radeon HD4850 goes right out the top rear vent. Airflow in the case is very much front to back as well, so there should be no problem heat. I would definitely go with he HD4850 for the reasons you already presented...

That screenshot above came from the site I write for. I know for a fact that nobody authorized disclosure beyond our private files.... I am currently trying to figure out how to get it removed from its hosted location.

We should also all be looking at reviews on other sites to see what they have to say. Some of these sites offer an interesting in-between stance while others side with either H or AT. It is interesting that the driver release we waited a week for didn't do too much for performance after all.

stronger.

You have no idea how long I've been asking the developers for that feature! I agree completely :mad: -shoes

Hi there. In regards to the review that is being called "fishy": If you read page 4 of the review, you will see the explanation for the "hodgepodge" of cards that were included in the various tests. It is unfortunately that I was not able to include all cards in all tests but, as you will...

The opinions of those involved in the testing of the KillerNIC for this article are very much in line with my own opinions. I reviewed the KillerNIC a couple of months ago and found it to show improvements across the board as well. The main issue that I saw, and indeed the main issue that Kyle...

I have temps of 40-45C (depending on ambient and according to the display) under 100% load on an x6800 at 3.68. what voltage are you giving the chip?

Well right now I am running a Core 2 Extreme overclocked to 3.6 at 1.525 volts on full load (2x f@h)and the diode reads 64C and the front display reads 37C (front display reading is taken from the middle of the hot/cold plates). chip surface temp reads 47C with logysis fan controller (cant...

I have 3 issues with this article. Let me preface by saying that I run my own hardware review site and I have actually been using/reviewing the Monsoon II Cooler for about a month. Also, I have personally visited the Vigor Gaming office twice in the last month and have seen everything in...

Intel uses what they call macrofusion to combine common instruction pairs into something called a micro-op to be sent through the decoder to the execution core together at the same time. Previously, each instruction was sent through the decoder to the execution core by itself, even if a similar...

I haven't got a chance to really test it out for myself yet, but from what I gathered from Peter Evers at E3 this year, this is very possible.

well, i have just tried it with an old pATA hard drive, and I got the same problem. it must be a BIOS setting...? I am running the Intel 975XBX with BIOS rev 1304 7900GT w/e hard drive you want 2x512 corsair pc2 6400

the SATA drive is detected in BIOS and everything. No, I have yet to run memtest86. I did, however, attempt to install using just one stick (tried for each), to no avail.

Hey all, I have been having some problems installing Windows on a new system. The system seems to run just fine and boot from CD to format/install windows. However, after the initial Windows XP Setup phase (after it is done "Copying files to directories") and it says the computer will now...

God I love HardOCP. Very welly written and I agree 100%

Far and away the best resource on the internet for comparing the various characteristics of every notable video card is gpureview.com. IIRC, someone on these very forums put it all together. But yeah, probably one of the most helpful website I have ever been to...

I'm assuming this is for a PCI-Express based system. Fortron AX450-PN http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104954 EDIT: ICK I just saw northwood, my bad. Go for something with a strong 3.3V. You could get something like this Antec SP2 500...

This man is wise beyond his years. ;)

hmm yeah so apparently its gonna be released sooner now. yay! http://anandtech.com/news/shownews.aspx?i=25469

I figure I can get by with my P4 3.0c, 1024 ram, x800xt. but damn, by then there will be so many amazing things on the graphics scene as well...

Who else is waiting? Gonna be damn hard to hold out. I figure we should make a support group for those of us that are going to have a hard time not buying something else.

i bet you can overclock them quite well

usually it is, but that is why we love venice cores!

for AGP i would say you are better off going for the 6800 because it has a chance to unlock. iirc both cards are similar at stock

ahh i see i figured i was probably wrong, but that juice 480mbps transfer rate had me thinking it was possible

Question: Could he not just get a 7200rpm HD and put it in an external enclosure? Wouldn't channeling that through a USB2.0 or firewire interface be faster than the 5400RPM HD?
