I'm interested in hearing about or discussing whether Dell's upcoming 15" XPS laptops with the high res LCDs are going to be well supported by Linux/Ubuntu (13.04 or 13.10). I think the biggest concern would be if the GeForce 750M ships in an Optimus configuration, which I've heard is a...

Another quick question... Is there any way to reliably test all of my video memory? If the defect is found in the higher regions of my memory, is it not possible that the error would only manifest when the card is pushed to use those regions?

I have a multimeter, I should be able to do that if it gets to that. One thing.. My PSU is the Antec EarthWatts 500W. It has a double 6pin PCI-E connector on it. Would that be an issue at all? The store is using the exact same PSU model. So unless my PSU is defective, it just doesn't seem...

Airflow is not an issue. Especially considering the card barely works up a sweat in League of Legends...

Yes to latest drivers. I've tried newer demos. Because the issue is intermittent, it's hard to say. I used the 3DMark '11 demo without issue. Store is primarily using furmark it would seem. They can't get EVGA scanner 'cause they don't want to register a card. Although EVGA scanner on my...

Hey everyone, looking for some advice! I picked up a 560ti and have largely been very happy with it. One strange issue however is that I've been experiencing intermittent artifacting with it. It comes up even in a game as lightweight as League of Legends. Just long triangles shooting off of...

I'm hoping they keep the 1GB 560 around $200-$220. I'd really like to get an nvidia card this time around. I just built an i5 2500K. Despite leaning more towards nvidia (Linux), my last card was a Radeon 5670 and for a little $100 card, it was suprisingly powerful! Between my loyalty and...

$240 and $280 seems a bit steep for a card that's supposed to be "competitive".

This doesn't appear to be Canada friendly. Is there any way for a Canadian to take advantage of this, or will there be a similar effort shortly?

Awesome! My Inspiron 9400 has a 7900GS in it and it has malfunctioned! Glad I waited for this to play out. Hopefully they fix it with a card that won't just go and do the same thing.......

I'm really excited for 560. Looking forward to it. I just built a 2500K based machine and it is phenomenal. I think the 560 would be a perfect match for this system, and maybe another one in the future ;) Any idea when I might be able to get my hands on one of these? XFX, ASUS, eVGA? Who...

Yeah, and I think Tegra is going to be big-name enough to always have respectable performance in future releases as well. Which is another thing to consider...Will google eventually settle on a version for a year and only release minor updates ever? And I agree, I would love to see some wifi...

I'd like to see more of that as more devices become available. Obviously, while it's not possible to be objective about the SoCs from device to device, a rundown of the different devices as a whole will be in order. And that is ultimately going to be the only basis by which we'll be able to...

I think Anandtech should review the few SoCs that are here/coming out for 2011 and examine which devices they'll be showing up in. Things like Tegra, new snapdragons, marvell armada, hummingbird, motorola, etc... I'm fairly excited, it seems like 2011 is going to be the year we finally get...

I'd be interested in learning more about how that happens. I wouldn't say this PSU has been running 24/7 for 6 years however. It's spent a decent amount of time unused after about a year of solid use. (Which is why after coming upon some free parts I decided to use it!) All in all, I'm...
