seriously (http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2007/10/11/amd-790fx-eats-8w) so, with this chipset, you'll get features (PCI-E 2.0, Crossfire, Hypertransport 3, etc) plus low power consumption and less heat output. very nice work from AMD on...  [Read More]

Setting aside the access grate, Cloud carefully laid a small box of tools into the access tube. Pushing it in, Cloud laid on his back and followed it in. Crawling in, Cloud headed for the first conduit panel on his left. Opening the tool box, Cloud p...  [Read More]

Is it quite overclockable or did you not test it that way?well, we didn't have too much time on our hands to test it that much, but i'll look into it on Thursday night the next time i go in. what we really need is a Crossfire Edition mobo so we can...  [Read More]

well, we managed to get our hands on a 2900 Pro down at work, and we went ahead and tested it in one of our monster rigs we have at work as a display unit with a couple of games that we have pre-installed on it. it originally had two GeForce 8800GTX...  [Read More]

^^^^ well, the 8800GTX was launched almost a year ago, so its about time that Nvidia got around to putting out a new card. my only question is why Nvidia feels that they already need a brand new lineup of cards right now. the life cycle of the 8800 s...  [Read More]

yeah, but aside from all the reflections on that harvester, those were not very good looking graphics. yeah, its impressive that they accomplished that without a GPU, but they had to use 16 cores to do it. i'm sorry, but i'm not putting down that kin...  [Read More]

yes, its a survey of Steam users. when you boot up Steam, it sometimes asks you for permission to scan your system for the hardware survey, and it takes all of 20 seconds to do it. once your results are submitted, you can move on with your life. :)...  [Read More]

^^^^ the thing is that the HD2600's are more energy efficient than the HD2900's. having the 65nm core does make a big difference in power consumption and heat production which is both considerably less. as for the card itself, well, if it performs s...  [Read More]

a 6200 is probably going to give you worse performance than your current card, that's why. as cheap as it might be, there are definitely better options out there. even the 8500GT would serve you better than the 6200....  [Read More]
