    EVGA 1080 FTW - System suddenly powering off with mild overclock

    Hey guys, I just picked up an EVGA 1080 FTW about a week ago to replace my R9 290. The card works perfectly 99% of the time, but I've had 3 times now when the system has just completed powered off, and started itself back up a few seconds later while gaming for about an hour+ while the card was...

    AMD selling reference cards?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814105039 I'm curious as to whether this cooler would be as poor as the R9 290 reference cards. I'm also surprised that this card is specifically an AMD card and not sold through one of their other partners (unless it's just made by Sapphire...

    So I have an older Core 2 Duo system and I'm going to throw a few upgrades in it to make it somewhat gaming viable. Right now its E8400 4GB DDR2 800 500W power supply no video card. I found another 4GB of DDR2 cheap, and also bought a cheap Q6600 for $25 to throw in there since it seems like...

    3dfx history panel with founders

    Thought this was interesting :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MghYhf-GhU Not sure how many of you ever had a 3dfx card - but I remember loving my Voodoo3 2000 and being really sad when 3dfx went bankrupt. Pretty interesting though to hear these guys talk essentially about starting a whole...

    Looking to buy a new SSD

    Hello. Recently I was planning to make the jump to a SSD. I'm looking to spend about $100-150 and basically put windows, games and any high use programs on the SSD for increased performance, leaving media and other large under used files on the regular drive. I went to order one from newegg but...
