A good point was made regarding cost. It must be that increasing the ammount of sillicon per chip causes an exponential decrease in stability due to impurities/imperfections. If there are more chips per wafer there can be greater disparity when they are binned. Thats why AMD's 90nm dualcore...

How long until we see four gpus on a single pcb? Why can't you just put two on the same slice? The fastest single-core 90nm AMD cpu did 3.0 stock. Their fastest 90nm dual-core cpu did 2.8 stock. Is it reasonable to infer that two gpus could be put on the same slice and run nearly as fast as...

So a 0.05 fluctuation is bad? We have discovered something other than the silicon that could be hampering my overclock! Now to figure out why it is fluxing. The PC Power & Cooling Turbo 510 is reviewed to be the most stable psu. The a8n32 is claimed to be rock-solid with the 8 phase power...

yes

Thanks for the responses. Here are my replies: CPUZ tells me it is Model 3, EXT Model 23, Stepping 2, Revision JH-E6. I have no idea what these numbers mean. This reviewer: http://www.thetechzone.com/?m=show&id=498&page=5 Got an FX-60 stable at 3.2 and a windows boot at 3.4 on stock HS...

My FX-60 does 2.954 on aftermarket heatsink. I have read several reviews and these chips run stable as high as 3.2 on the STOCK heatsink. I am new to computer hardware but I wouldn't consider myself a noob. This is the first rig I have built in 5 years due to a change of hobbies. I may have...

It really sucks that G71 will only have 24 pipes. And 1600mhz ram. WTF, the 512 gtx ram did 1700mhz. Are we regressing in time?? I bought two 256mb 7800 gtx's from evga about a month ago because they have this step-up program that allows you to trade in your cards and pay the differance to...

I have adjusted the settings in Unreal. They are different for each resolution. I like a high sensitivity. I feel that with lower sensitivity I have to move my hand more and there is more chance for error. I'm not sure if I know what I'm talking about. I think I do but maybe I don't. In...

Hmm. Assuming you can find a 512mb gtx I would still recomend 2 gt's in sli. If you must have the 512 gtx wait til march 9th when G71 comes out on 90nano with 32 pipes doing 700mhz core and 2ghz memory. 1 512 gtx has 24 pipes and 8 shaders @ 580mhz/1800mhz for $750 newegg 2 gt's have 40...

60*60*24*365.25=31557600 seconds in a year or 31557600 mm away per year 31557600/10=3155760 cm 3155760/2.54=1242425 inches 1242425/12=103535 feet 103535/5280=19.6 miles per year If we are 93 million miles away from the sun than it would only take 4.7 million years to drift to a radius of...

um if he has $3000 and it's a gaming rig then you definately want sli. two 7800gt's @ $560 or two gtx's @ $900. also why not an a8n32-sli so you get 2x16x sli instead of 2x8. psu looks good. two 150 gb raptors would be faster unless you need 500gb.

There is no lag in the mouse and I am using the same input setings [speed, smoothing, render 0 frames ahead]. Also stat fps >=40. It's hard to describe. When I'm aiming at a target, I have the accuracy as if that target were farther away/smaller. Most noticeable was my decreased accuracy...

Ok I recently built a new rig which upped my UT2004 resolution to 1600x1200. I have noticed that my mouse seems less accurate than when I used to play at 1024x768. Is this all in my head? I read some stuff on tomshardware.com [the ultimate mouse hunt article] about mouse resolutions. Do I need...

Even if your dual-core Opteron did 2.6 stock one would still pick the FX-60 if it was the same price. Did u all over-look the benifits of an unlocked multiplier? Also, price is not a varable for some people when choosing a cpu so the FX-60 looks like a good option as the 955 benches don't look...

Maybe I'll just go with one raptor.
