    American Express: $10 for Xbox Live + $25 for Halo 4 and more!

    Same here. Got my 10 for sign up and 25 for completing the campaign. Also got the confirm for spartan ops. Looks like I'm heading to best buy for some shopping during black Friday.

    [Back!] HIS IceQ HD7870 - $200AR/FS@Newegg

    Pheran, thanks for the update. It confirms that gpuz is not always accurate. I have similar numbers (very high max vcore numbers) so I switchedo using afterburner for vcore monitoring. Thanks!

    [Back!] HIS IceQ HD7870 - $200AR/FS@Newegg

    For those who have the card, could you run gpu-z while benchmarking it in 3Dmark and post a pic of the max VDDC? Im interested to see whether you have voltage spikes and whether that's normal. Thanks in advance.

    High max VDDC @ stock

    Thanks for the feedback. I understand that the readings could be off, but would like to gain some assurance that it's not my card. I've review the logs and the spikes happens every few minutes when I was playing borderlands. Just thought that it's strange since I've never altered the voltage of...

    High max VDDC @ stock

    I apologize if this has already been covered, but I've recently purchased the HIS 7870 from newegg, jumped on the deal @ $220. I've been tinkering with the card, minor OC and ran a few benchmarks, and noticed that my max vddc reading during 3dmark11 to be really high ~1.66v (see below). I get...

    [Back!] HIS IceQ HD7870 - $200AR/FS@Newegg

    Thanks everyone for your feedbacks. I guess I was concerned when I looked at my stock graphics score of ~6300, the ~6900 is @ OC settings. A few sites had stock well above ~6500, ie: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/sapphire_hd_7870/11.htm (graphic score 6665)...

    [Back!] HIS IceQ HD7870 - $200AR/FS@Newegg

    I've just installed my card. A very nice upgrade over my old 5770 (which was about to die). Anyway, the card is huge, but I've managed to get it in installed and the improvement was night and day. I do have a few questions/ concerns that I was hoping people can answer for me. Running...

    So, looks like the ps3 is completely hacked.

    Didn't Eurogamer also post an article indicating that piracy on the PS3 could be worst than the PSP? If that's the case, then ouch. I don't believe Sony can do anything if people never connect their PS3s online.

    Official Halo Reach thread

    Did you try the achievement on the later level where you jump off the cliff? I was watching a video of this online and they mentioned that you should make sure to disable your sprint loadout prior to assassinating the elite as the kill must be from a free fall state.

    Xbox 360 USB storage support now live

    My thoughts exactly. It would be great if I could partition my 1.5tb into 16gb sections. Heck, it would be great if I could active the partitioned section I wanted and have the 360 read it. Partition 1, games A-> D and partition 2, games E -> etc. I can dream can't I? Of course this would...

    Xbox 360 USB storage support now live

    Very true, but install speed is dependent on the write speed of your drive. For your drive, it was 1.5x more. I may not be so lucky and have a slower drive (5Mbps).
