    Watercooling for an old Athlon 1200

    Hi! I have an old Athlon 1200 which I want to experiment with before it hits the trash can. I'm ready to buy a watercool kit for it for 50 €, and I can choose between 2 CPU blocks: Danger Den TDX 1 / 2" 775/1333 or 754/939. Which one (if any) would fit my CPU? (Slot-A). Thx in advance for the...

    Why is the GTX 580 superior to the Radeon 6970?

    I don't care about "know". It's the "get" what it bothers me. Interesting. I already knew about those Zotac, but didn't know that EVGA is going to release a 3 gb version of their Hydro Copper 2. They are 50 mhz-cored less that I'd like, and they're way overpriced (even when I stated that money...

    Why is the GTX 580 superior to the Radeon 6970?

    I know, but I'm very unwilling to buy my PC later than November (as much). 11/11/11 is a sacred day, after all (not counting BF3 also). On the other hand, I also don't like the idea of buying expensive 580 at the end of it's generation, so... Oh, well, I guess I won't decide anything DEFINITELY...

    Why is the GTX 580 superior to the Radeon 6970?

    Dual CPU? Nah, I hope the future octo-core AMD Bulldozer will do the trick. I'm eagerly waiting for their benchmarks, to see how good they are :) I hope I don't have any problem finding an AM3+ mobo with SLI support...but I think I've read there won't be any issues regarding that. And if not...

    [Kitguru] Nvidia continue to come under fire for poor GTX590 design

    A real pity. Nvidia has rushed the GTX 590 cards as they rushed the GTX 4xx series.... I'm even more convinced than 2x tweaked GTX 580 is the way to go for powergaming.

    Why is the GTX 580 superior to the Radeon 6970?

    Out of curiosity, is there any chance Nvidia will release a "GTX 595", fixing all the weak points that the GTX 590 has? (at least 1 extra GB of RAM, much better clockspeeds, etc). If so, I'd consider buying it. If not, superclocked SLI GTX 580 with 4-6 Gbs of RAM > 6990 :)

    Your favorite looking Video Cards

    Nostalgia, mostly. It was my first 3D card ever (Matrox Millennium G200).

    Why is the GTX 580 superior to the Radeon 6970?

    Ahmmm...I begin to understand now... Well, I think it's officially 2x GTX 580 for me (I'm not happy with the GTX 590). I just hope to find the right ones by Oct. (ideally watercooled & fabric OC at 9xx(+) core / 1xxx shaders / 4xxx memory, and with 3 gb's of RAM each).

    Why is the GTX 580 superior to the Radeon 6970?

    I'm aiming for a bit of overkill :) And also for quality over cost.

    Why is the GTX 580 superior to the Radeon 6970?

    Price is not a concern to me. Resolution would be 1920x1080 at minimum, playing games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, Crysis 1/Crysis 2, Metro 2033...all at max detail, of course. About temperatures and noise, I don't care, because I'm going to watercool my...

    Why is the GTX 580 superior to the Radeon 6970?

    Hello. I'm building a new rig by October, and I'm carefully choosing every component for it, and there's one thing that bothers me. I've always been kind of a "Nvidia guy", but after seeing many reviews and benchmarks where the GTX 580 absolutely beats the 6970, I find the results very odd...
