    NVIDIA vs. AMD *POLL ADDED*

    Conclusion: No one likes a salesman. Especially when you know there a salesman, trying to pitch there marketing as peer advice. I cannot relate too someone who gets there vid cards for free, because I have to work to buy a new vid card. What if the person does not even like vid cards and is...

    NVIDIA vs. AMD *POLL ADDED*

    That'd be a dream come true. I've always wanted to be apart of sort of VIP club, sadly, the girls gone wild tour bus denied my application form. Apparently being a man is some sort of issue for them. Please send my invitation ASAP so i can show you my "assets"

    NVIDIA vs. AMD *POLL ADDED*

    It was a joke. If anything this forum is too serious, In school i learned that that the classes I paid the most attention too, were fun and engaging, not preachy. Getting in a serious discussion about shaders, texture units, performance, etc is not fun for me (and im guessing a good...

    NVIDIA vs. AMD *POLL ADDED*

    I think the problem lies more with the fact that your discussing video cards, we need something to spice it up. Sex and or violence seem to work well for the news media. We need sexy video cards shooting guns at each other.

    Gabe Newell hates DX10

    I'll give my thoughts on this. To be honest I think this is really about killing off PC gaming , frustrating developers and consumers into not using the PC as a gaming platform. Sales drop for the PC market, Sales for consoles go up, Microsoft benefits on all levels really. If you get sick of...

    will 8800gts play CS:S @ max @ 1680x1050?

    There also limitations on the number of frames your lcd can keep up with, I remember reading a thread on a long time ago about how the the response time (ms) of your monitor has an effect on the number of fps it can actually display. You might want to look that up before upgrading. If your...

    Long-term satisfaction with your mp3 player

    my 30 gig 5th gen is still going strong after a year and a half. Thats with almost daily charging and use. The length of the charge has diminished by about 4-5 hours though, so instead of 12 hours of music I get maybe 7-8. This is common among all ipods, cell phones, etc. The battery can not...

    TechSpot's HD 2900 XT Review

    Legion hardware has a review up today that shows the 2900 matching or coming within 5% of the gtx in most games. Supreme commander seems to be the only real loss. the 2900 smokes the gtx in x3 and stalker. With driver improvements the 2900 will be a awesome card thats on par with the gtx for...

    Competition is good!

    Uh lost planet is a bad console port too, it runs in both dx10 and 9. True dx10 will be dx10 only, from what I have read on the subject. EDIT: 2900 also destroys the gtx in marvel ultimate alliance, http://www.legitreviews.com/article/503/11/ With driver improvements the 2900 could end...

    The Real Lessons of the AMD's launch

    wtf do you need hype/excitement to sell a video card? It's about performance and it performs well in its price bracket, along with 3 good games. And if it is $100 cheaper in a month as you predict I will defiantly be picking 1 up.
