It is tough to tell exactly how they test the OC of the card. Finding the maximum stable overclock across a large suite of games is one of the most frustrating parts about doing these evaluations. For example, I had the MSI card running fine at 1080/6000 across a couple of games in our suite...

Can you link some of the other sites reviews specifically so I can look at methodology to see how they compare? Personally, I would expect to see similar scaling across all brands assuming the test methodology is held consistent across tests. The DC2 review was done by Brent while I did the...

We have two different DCII samples in house and I've spent a good bit of time with each of them (individually as well as in crossfire). At stock clocks, they perform just fine and exactly as I would expect from that level card. For both of them, when overclocked, power consumption goes through...

We do have a standard runthrough that each of us uses for each of the games. Each runthrough will start in the same place every time and work through a level until a certain point. The end of the runthroughs can change over time depending on the relevance to the overall gameplay experience -...

I make sure to differentiate that as most other review sites tend to run true "benchmarks". :-) Quite honestly, I do not go back and gut check the min/max/average FPS that I get in a particular game to our other reviews. I do tend to gut check against best playable settings where I feel like...

I keep an eye out over here from time to time as well. Will get around to answering on the [H] side of the discussion as well shortly. I'm currently in the process of moving a couple of states away, so my rigs and data are packed at the moment. Techpowerup does not explicitly state which...

My ears are ringing. Figure I should swing by here to say hi. Unfortunately, by the time I realized that the 760 score was higher than the 770, the client side patch from last Friday had already dropped, so going back to rerun the test for better representative data was not going to be very...

AOpen is one of the few companies that offer marketing co-op dollars to most sellers (generally only the big companies get co-op dollars- these dollars explain which items make it to the front page on teh Egg and other large sites). AOpen will throw cash at your advertising if you include them...

I beleive Rosewill is owned by NewEgg. If you check the WHOIS of their site, it gives an admin email to an @abspc.com address, which is a newegg company. Ironically enough, abs PC is located on Rose Hills Drive...... *chuckle*

Hmm.... This I can do with M$'s .NET........

It sounds alot like Lords of the Realm, however, its not quite old enough to be for the TRS-80.... I recall I got the demo back in the mid-90's......

I only cared until the strike- since then, no MLB for me. Every once in a while I wonder how them braves are durrin.

Here in Atlanta, my store has gotten ahold of 3 of the Raptors, but they sold very very quickly, and all distributors are out (one indicates an ETA of 5-30... yeesh)... One guy bought 2 for a RAID-0 Array (replacing 2 60 gig sata Maxtors), and the other (one of our overclockin' regulars) picked...

The spot market is starting to creep up a few percent, I fully anticpate a "shortage" that will send prices back to twice of what they are now in the very near future. The mwave price is very good, I expect it to go up $5 though, as other DDR333 parts have risen that much in the last two days.

I have unlocked my 800 tbird- at least somewhat successfully- On my A7N8X, I can only get multi's 8 and 8.5 to function for me- otherwise it results in no-postage w/ incorrect CPU setting on the next boot. There is litterally no temp boost @ 850, or @ 864, voltage adjustments does nothing for...
