    ASUS Z170-A Skylake Motherboard Review Comment Thread

    I wouldn't call 16 lanes as "PCI-E Lanes Aplenty". But that's just me.

    i7 3770k or i5 3570k

    Go with i5 over i7. Go with 670 over 680. Use the $200 saved to treat your girl out to a fancy dinner. Have wild sex afterwards. Profit!!!

    2x6950cf vs 7970

    I would get the 7970 and just overclock it. You'll get better than 6950 XFire performance and won't have to worry about Xfire issues. I upgraded from a 5870 to my 7970 and this card is more than twice as fast considering it's overclocked to 1200/1700. You should see similar gains since the...

    xfx 5850 time for upgrade?

    A 7850 will only be about 25% faster than your 5850. If you want to make it noticeable, you should go for at least a GTX670. Check out this comparison: 670 vs. 5850

    My $2,300 build review, if in the market.....

    Why do you need a MomentusXT just for storage?

    gpu + cpu bottlenecks? dual 7850 in crossfire and i5-3570k (when it launches)

    If you're overclocking your CPU it shouldn't be a bottleneck.

    Upgrade Advice: From i7 920 to...?

    Another vote for overclocking. I have a i7-920 overclocked to 4.0GHz and I think the speed will last me for at LEAST another 2 years, easy.

    Samsung UN55C6500 120Hz LED HDTV Review Comment Thread

    This really is a shame. Samsung is either unable, or unwilling to fix the issues that keep coming up time after time. There's really no excuse for it. They know image quality is terrible under Game Mode. They know of the horrible flashlighting effects. Do they give a damn to fix them? No...

    4860 over a 5830?

    GTX 460 out of the question for you?

    Built By NVIDIA Graphics Cards Hit Retail Shelves

    I think it's good to have as an option. Sometimes you just want a nice reference board for the lowest price possible. AIB makers specialize in slapping on fancy coolers and charging $30.00 extra for the same product.

    ASUS Radeon HD 5850 1GB DirectCu TOP Review Comment Thread

    One has to wonder if it's worth buying though with the 6770 rumored to come out within a month. The price I see over at the Egg (U.S. ) is still $310.00 + $8.00 shipping. Aren't the GTX470's selling for around USD $250.00 now? I think even this DirectCU TOP edition needs to come down to the...

    Advice needed on a budget video card

    I use a single slot 8800GT in my backup system which has run superbly for the last 3 years. Runs hot, but as stable as can be.

    Rumored GTX 465!

    That GTS 450 looks interesting. I wonder how well they'll scale in SLI.

    Fair RMA repalcement?

    Honestly though, what hand do you have to play if they stick to their guns on the 9800 GT OC? You can go back and forth with this, spend more of your time on it all for a GPU that will only be used for emails and Facebook. :blarg: I don't think it's worth the hassle, OP. I think the...

    9800GTX+ Should i step-up to GTX470?

    Might as well jump on it. Should serve you well for your next upgrade.

    XFX Gunning For Performance Crown with HD 5970 4GB Black Edition

    You can get the same performance of this card just by overclocking a regular 5970. The extra 2GB of RAM aren't going to boost framerates by any noticeable amount. This is mostly a marketing gimmick. 5970's are already able run at 5870 stock speeds. They're just underclocked to fit in the 300w...

    Phemon II X6 Pre-order @ Fry's

    :doh: What are you talking about? You don't need to run 6GB of ram in an X58 motherboard. Likewise you don't need to run 3x 2GB sticks either. You can use 2x 2GB just fine. Triple channel functionality is there only if you choose to take advantage of it. And to Overclocked Rooster, you're...
