    AT Barcelona previews are up

    What gets me is how muddy the waters are. AMD only allowing people to review over a weekend, really speaks volumes. If it was an Intel killer reviewers would have had the CPU's for weeks, instead all you can get out of a weekend is muddy reviews, with no clear cut conclusions but alot of...

    Gigabyte 965p DS3 - Overclocking Q6600 ?

    Well you probably have REV 1 because I don't think F4 came on REV 2. Thx for the feedback, sounds very promising for me down the road.

    Gigabyte 965p DS3 - Overclocking Q6600 ?

    A few questions if you don't mind... Is that revision 1? As I understand revision 2 made some changes in voltage for quads, so I'm just wondering. So that is about a 355 FSB, is the CPU the limit there or the board or RAM? Also why are you still using F4, just curious? Thx ~MadBoris

    Gigabyte 965p DS3 - Overclocking Q6600 ?

    I have the 965p ds3 Rev 1. It supports the 1066 fsb quads, I'm just wondering if anyone knows how well the quads OC compared to the duals on this board. The CPU quality aside, does this MOBO (rev1) have more limits with quads. I'm currently limited to 420 fsb on it due to my memory with a...

    G0 stepping, Where are the results?

    Ahhh. I thought there were mixes with B3 out there. Then that would explain it I guess.

    G0 stepping, Where are the results?

    I've looked around and did some searches but I am not finding any results on G0 experiences. Are there any sites that did OC on them that I missed? What are people getting on air on the new G0 q6600's anyway? Any links? Thanks for any feedback. ~MadBoris

    Using OEM 8800gts. How do i determine the Vendor?

    Wait a second... You want to flash the BIOS to an overclocked one? Why do you want to do that and take that risk? Just overclock the board like everyone else does with rivatuner, no new BIOS needed. Is there some BIOS out there that actually unlocks something in the 8800 GTS that I...

    New beta driver doubles Oblivion FPS for HD2900XT.

    I don't see anything too impressive there... Was it just horrible before? Besides, what were the settings? What was the grass view distance? since the card has major issues with that. The 2900xt does great if you hit the right resolution, right AA AF combo, right game settings it can then...

    Oh nooes!!! 8800GTX vs 2900XT in DX10

    Drivers, just need real drivers, must wait for drivers... I am going to buy the 2900xt now, because the performance sucks now, but in a month ATI will release good drivers (because I know ATI, err AMD) and then the performance will be l33t. NOT! Reality check: If ATI is so great with...

    FIRST OFFICIAL DX10 GAME DEMO OUT

    Haha. Before you insult other people, at least try to have 3rd grade grammar. :o I wasn't insulting. I was trying to help people, while someone was standing in the way. Glad to see your appreciation.

    FIRST OFFICIAL DX10 GAME DEMO OUT

    You really are a head case aren't you. Know what you are talking about before you tell somebody they are wrong. I'm a programmer so if I tell you the game was compiled with the latest Dx9 SDK runtimes would you believe that or know what it really means??? Probably not. To the rest of the...

    FIRST OFFICIAL DX10 GAME DEMO OUT

    GUYS, I've said 3 times now. You need to install latest DX9 on Vista. That is the problem. Copying dll's is not the way to do it. The people getting this error are running older dx9 in Vista.

    FIRST OFFICIAL DX10 GAME DEMO OUT

    I would install latest directx. Do you have the proper monito INF installed or some generic PNP driver installed (that would be bad). People never think monitor drivers are necessary until issues like this arise. The game detects capability of the monitor, while Vista uses the monitor...

    FIRST OFFICIAL DX10 GAME DEMO OUT

    There has always been this nagging concern that DX10 itself is a bottle of snake oil (all we have had is PR). What if people find out the API isn't really faster due to unforeseen issues, but runs like mollasses in winter. ;)

    FIRST OFFICIAL DX10 GAME DEMO OUT

    You did not read above message, so I will do this for benefit of all: To all VISTA DX10 USERS: YOU MUST INSTALL LATEST DX9 (April 2007) :)
