    HardOCP 6990+6970 CF vs 580 Tri Sli

    I tried staying quiet but lol a configuration that almost no one plays at gets so much attention because AMD wins but a case where the 570 stomps a more expensive 6970 in an overclock test that is far more usefull to alot more people gets ignored...

    How much slower is a 6870 to a GTX570?

    In some games I cant even tell the difference on my i5 rig between my 570 and 6870. But in others like Shogun 2, Dirt 2, Dawn of War Retribution, Arma 2, Metro 2033, Just Cause 2, and Starcraft 2 its night and day . Dont they make custom coolers for the HD 570?

    MSI 570/oc graphics issues

    Just dont go over 1.1 volts or disable over current protection if you have a reference 570. There is a thread on overclock net with people who fried their vrm's. And even though it turned into a fud thread with a bunch of people posting fake deaths,factory faulty cards,and user error deaths its...

    MSI gtx560 hawk EDIT: BENCHMARKS!

    Your minimum fps in Heaven would be alot better if you let it loop a time or two before hitting benchmark. There is one spot where my card dips to 9 if I dont let it loop once but if I do it never goes below 20 at those settings. Dont know if its still like that in v2.5. With all the room it...

    Is multi-gpu the way to go now?

    Over 1900x1200 resolution is the only reason I would go back to multi-gpu. Under that a single 580/570/6970/6950 is enough to max out most games.

    A Survey on Nvidia and ATI Graphics Cards

    1. Usually AMD but Nvidia for my main this round due to the cheaper 570 having the same performance as AMD's best single gpu but having more features that I would use. 2. Performance if the price isnt out of reach like the 580. 3. Yes I buy one or 2 new cards each series. 4. Yes..Tech Power...

    Pondering returning this card...see why inside!

    Yeah I know but those reviews you posted are in a resolution that matter to almost no one. Its not helpful to the majority who play lower resolutions and makes the 6870 look equal to the 560. I guess that was your point?

    Pondering returning this card...see why inside!

    Yeah Nvidia should be handicapped in benchmarks for doing better in certain games. Forget the people who care about those games. Same with benching at 1680x1050 in the Intel/Phenom II X4 review I mean its only one of the most popular resolutions. Forget those people too. And I think AMD had more...

    [FUDZILLA] AMD's initial 28nm lineup (SI) will be a die-shrink only

    Bah I hope not. I cant resist a new series and was hoping to ride out the 6870/570 for a while. The wife will not be happy.

    EVGA 570 card into a 40" LED Samsung TV

    Try a different dvi cable if you can.

    Which card is generally superior - 560TI or 6950?

    It depends on the persons needs. They are pretty close in performance you wont really notice the difference till resolutions over 1900x1200 were the 2gb vram gives the 6950 an advantage. So if you like Physx, Cuda, Folding, or want game specific image quality profiles the 560 is better. If you...
