    Upgrading From a 4890 - Best Bang for Buck Right Now?

    It's funny, I too have a 4890, and I just upgraded to a 7850 for $150, I was pretty pleased with that deal.

    Chip rankings: Intel had highest share in over 10 years (EETimes)

    You are missing his point obviously, Apple technically isn't on the list because the overwhelming majority of their revenue is obviously from mobile devices, just as for Google, and Microsoft, who's revenue comes from obvious sources. That's kinda his point, that the majority of IBM's revenue...

    GTX 680 launch video - Narrated by Ujesh Desai, VP Corporate Marketing - Nvidia

    Why would you sell a 7970...? Odds are, if you game at 1920x1080, your card is more than fast enough, if you game at a higher resolution, it would be better to stick with the 7970 and just OC it. There aren't even any OC reviews on this yet.

    GTX680, images from THG review leaked

    I can already tell Nvidia is going to mess up the pricing on this great card...It's suppose to fill the shoes of the GTX 560 and GTX 570, and so it should be priced around there. I would say $359 would be a completely reasonable price for a card like this. We all know that the only reason the...

    GTX680, images from THG review leaked

    I have 1200 hours in Shogun II, and play heavily modded Skyrim, so I might wanna consider upgrading my 4890 to a 3 GB+ card...

    GTX680, images from THG review leaked

    Its called having new and shiny stuff, its always overpriced. Remember the last time Nvidia was first to the market with the next generation? You might not be old enough to remember given your antics, but I distinctly remember the GTX 8800's sitting pretty at just over $800. But that't not rape...

    GTX680, images from THG review leaked

    You are out of your mind with definite statements like that...Both companies trade places for best value, lately they have stagnated, but before, one company would "rape" you for your money while the other had its way with you next generation. Its called profit, not rape btw...

    GTX680, images from THG review leaked

    Only when the 7970 magically loses 10 or 20 FPS from previous benchmarks :hmm: That said though, who knows, no real benchmarks have been released, and with that little tidbit of info, I'm not so sure how legitimate these are.

    GTX680, images from THG review leaked

    Have people figured out yet if this is middle end or high end? I thought people were saying the first card released would be the replacer to the GTX 560, and that its replacing GF104 type architectures. Now this is called GTX 680, and beats AMD high end...Was the community mislead to begin with...

    AMD 7950s are on Newegg

    Why is everyone complaining about prices? For one, pretty sure AMD set the MSRP of the 7970 to $479, so these high prices aren't entirely their doing. Secondly, they just came out, why does everybody freak out when parts that just come out are overpriced and ones that are about to be replaced...

    Do 'retina' displays eliminate the need for AA?

    I'm hoping we find a more elegant and advanced way of displaying images by the time resolutions reach that point. A breakthrough in the way we display things would likely be spurred on by a breakthrough in GPU's, so basically semiconductors all together. You will never see that resolution the...

    Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770K Overclocking

    I hope the multiplier is being limited or something, maybe its just a bad ES chip. I was hoping for this thing to hit 5.5 GHz honestly. I mean, this at 2 GHz will be faster than anything AMD has, but still...:$

    Possible custom HD 7970 on (or near) release?

    I really love all MSI products, but their video cards are probably their best. The Twin Frozr cooler is one of the best, and MSI cards very generally OC the highest, use the least power, or are the coolest, and sometimes all 3 at the same time :thumbsup: Asus DCII is also quite nice, I'd say the...

    [wccftech] Another leaked Kepler performance slide 760/770/780/790...

    Been put for a while, looks like its been photoshopped more from the original fake, and its obviously fake.

    Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs will be available on April 8

    I know Intel has absolutely no competition and no reason to make these fast, but it really would be nice if they starting both cranking up the speed and price of the incoming CPU's. And by speed, I dont necessarily mean clock speed, but just architecturally speaking, make these faster. If...
