    January Steam Survey - AMD continues to be #1 provider of DX11 Video Cards into 2011

    Mozilla Firefox 63.05% Interesting. What is going on with the multi-monitor resolutions? There are exactly 3 resolutions that make sense on that list, and 3200x1080 is definitely not one of them.

    Calibration Software under $150?

    There's no such thing as calibration software without calibration hardware. The Spyder3 Express is under $150 and should be okay for a beginner.

    Does eyefinity increase your field of view in games?

    In eyefinity games like this are effectively broken, much the same as a game that does not alter the FOV at all and just stretches.

    The fall and rise of Fermi and nVidia.

    Doesn't really matter what it can do, unless it can go from 4 minutes to negative 41 minutes. If the 285 is already so low, how mindblowing would it be if the 480 cut that in half? You saved a whole 2 minutes? If that kind of time is worth it, you may be in the market for a Quadro anyway.

    i want a 2560 x 1600 LED LCD. what are my choices?

    Nope. Well, not the way you mean. CCFL backlighting tends to have dim areas at the corners, and LED backlighting can have bright or dim areas basically anywhere. Edge-lit LED screens tend to have vastly worse uniformity than either CCFL or matrix backlighting. But you were talking about...

    GTX480 hits 87c and higher on load?

    Seems low for 250W. Must be a beastly cooler, I wonder how much the metal sink weighs.

    Final GTX 480 and GTX 470 specifications

    w t f. That's completely different from what every other site has said. Were the other specs for Tesla units?

    Is a 7600 GT still better then any onboard video?

    Guess I got lucky; mine broke within 1 year. I put some Zalman thingy on it.

    Indilinx, Intel, or wait. Decisions, decisions.

    I don't think this is the same series as those boot drives, but Kingston did just release the SNVP325-S2 series with TRIM and upgrade kits.

    Will the PCI-E 4x slot significantly hurt Crossfire performance?

    Maybe yes, maybe no. Here's a test of how limiting PCI-e lanes affects the performance of a single card, but I have NO idea if that means anything for crossfire. This old article compares old Core2 chipsets, but it's hard to draw any firm conclusions from that test as some games and settings...

    Since DirectX 10 Never Really Became A Gaming Standard...

    XP wasn't? Don't even answer that, it was. Just the way it is with MS OS... unless you count 7 as something more than a Vista SP.
