    HTC Mozart, SLCD vs. AMOLED?

    Hi all! Just a simple question, and to ask if my understanding is correct on the two displays in regards to their power requirements while using black and white. To save battery Microsoft recommends using black, and a dark theme which I believe would be perfect for AMOLED as they require...

    ZDNet : Intel shakes up roadmap to attack ultra-mobile computing

    Looks like Intel are getting more serious about mobile computing. It will not change future plans for high performance desktop chips. They also recognise that it won't happen overnight, and that it will take time. Otellini believes they'll have a big advantage through having the best...

    Techspot : Triple monitor gaming, GeForce GTX 590 vs. Radeon HD 6990.

    http://www.techspot.com/review/390-triple-monitor-gaming-performance/ Carrying on from other threads on this topic. This is a test of the two big ones. From what I can tell the Radeon edges in all accounts, but Crysis 2 and Mafia II. Also, it would seem they're pretty close so either card...

    Problems with corruption only till computer is shutdown...

    Recently I updated to the 11.2 Catalyst drivers and immediately noticed I was experiencing some data corruption. The 11.2 Catalysts have been tested extensively and have *not* caused this issue, it was just a coincidence that they coincide. Things would not install off my hard drive at...

    6850 went the same way as my 9800gt... Is it my PSU?!

    Recently I was in the market for a new graphics card, and I posted on here a thread to help decide between a 460 1GB or a 6850. I decided to go for the Asus 6850 cause it gave the best frame rates at the resolution I wanted, and with less power draw from most of the benchmarks I found. I was...

    Should hardware sites benchmark all cards AMD and nVIDIA on High Quality mode?

    In this thread there was some "old news" that I've seen so much that's it getting silly, I am in no way an AMD fan in graphics, in fact I've never even owned one of their cards! It just seems unfair to me that one should have their cards benchmarked to have most optimizations off and the other...

    Help me pick between a AMD 6850 or GTX460 1GB

    Hi, My previous graphics card a 9800GT finally gave up just recently, and now I'm looking into getting a quick replacement, because it's near Christmas these two are the maximum I can afford. I have never tried AMD, and had bad and good experience with nVIDIA, for example my first a RIVA TNT...
