    R9 Fury Cards go on sale...and gone

    Looks like Newegg had them for about maybe a grand total of 5 minutes. All models sold out, looks like some early adopter taxes have been applied too. Didn't matter much apparently, as noted, they're all sold out already.

    GTX780 features vs R9 290 series?

    I'm strongly considering upgrading to either a R9 290 or a R9 290X. I will admit I am a bit of an AMD fan, but I'm also trying to look at the best value and so I'm also considering the GTX 780. Of course "best value" is a little crazy in this price catergory...I digress. I re-read Anandtech's...

    How to disassemble an Asus x202e?

    I recently purchased an Asus x202e notebook (windows 8, 4 gig of ram, ivy bridge cpu, touchscreen, etc). I'm looking to replace the included hard drive with an SSD drive, but I can't figure out how to take the notebook apart. I removed all the screws from the bottom of the casing, but the...

    How is the Nvidia HDMI Audio in Windows 8

    I've got recurring HDMI audio skipping issues with my AMD 7950. This has happened ever since drivers newer than Catalyst 12.4 under Windows 7, and continues with my fresh Windows 8 install (and the Catalyst 12.10 drivers). I've been a loyal ATI/AMD customer for years, but this issue is...

    Intel SSD Caching with Windows 8

    I've got a brand new fresh install of Windows 8 and I'm trying to re-enable the Intel SSD caching (Intel Smart Response Technology). This worked great with my existing setup under Windows 7. The hardware hasn't changed, but when I try to enable the acceleration under the Intel RST utility, it...

    AMD HDMI audio continuously skipping

    Ok let's get the specs out of the way first here. Intel i7-2600 cpu, Gigabyte Z77-D3H motherboard (Z77 chipset obviously) with latest firmware (F14). 8 Gig of RAM, Windows 7 64 bit (fully updated), and a Radeon 7950 video card. The system is hooked up to a Yamaha amplifier via HDMI, which...

    Expected Ivy Bridge performance

    What's the consensus on expected Ivy Bridge performance? Any chance we'll get something worth upgrading a i7 2600 over? I keep hoping we will (if you see my graphics card post, I've got a line of friends I can easily sell "old" hardware to). I'm holding out hope, but my guess is, "probably...

    Opinions on graphic card upgrade addiction

    Ok so this one is probably flame bait to the max, but I'm curious to see how many other people in this forum feel like I do. I have a good line of friends to sell my "old" hardware at good prices to, and I have an addiction to getting the latest hardware. So in this spirit, I just sold my 6950...

    SB crashing after coming out of sleep

    So my new SB setup is rock solid, except I've ended up with the dreaded BSOD three or four times now when the system comes out of sleep (S3). Unfortunately the blue screen data doesn't seem to give me enough info to suggest what might be the culprit. Stress testing the system has proven it to...
