Re: XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB GDDR3 Video Card Review
I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Normally I'd never buy the top card since it typically means 10% improvement at twice the price, I especially did not like the idea of a GX2 card seeing how awesome their previous GX2 turned out :roll: . However, i bought the EVGA 8800GTS 512 on launch date (Dec 11) and m...

Re: XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB GDDR3 Video Card Review
I think it's overpriced and might overheat.
It is quite powerful, but it's really a very strong refresh, it's not x2 over the GTX or the Ultra.
I'm undeciced as what to buy, I might get a 9800GTX, but will need to see how it performs.

Re: PCIe2 vs PCIe
Okay, but what about general compatibility, for ex, whenever ATI/Nvidia release their next gen cards, will they slot into a P35 mobo?

Re: Basic info about twin tuner HDTV capture cards
I stand corrected. Just read on another site that you can divide the signal coming from an antenna using an RF splitter like you would for cable. Same as with cable, signal deteriorates with every split. Guess I never really thought of it as an option since all our TVs had their own antenna prior t...

PCIe2 vs PCIe
I'm thinking of building a 9600GT SLI box, my problem is I don't know which mobo to get, and I'm concerned with future GPU upgrades....so do I need a PCIe2 mobo or will any P35 chipset mobo do the trick? I don't want or need the most expensive mobo, but I want either an ASUS or Gigabyte with their H...

Re: Basic info about twin tuner HDTV capture cards
I want to record 2 shows at once....I already have a single HDTV card, but I wasn't sure whether you need another input. Does PQ degrade when you record 2 at once...? Picture Quality depends on the spec of your machine. From what I've seen/read, you need 1Ghz and 1GB of ram for each signal you are ...

Can the Antec 900 fit the biggest GPU's, ie, 3870x2 or 8800Ultra?

Re: Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3 See Low Sales Numbers
I think the problem is that ATI keep cocking up their GPU's, and this doesn't put Nvidia under any pressure to release a proper update of the 8800GTX, ie, something twice as powerful without the instability of a SLI or X2. On small monitors, hi-res isn't necessary anyway, or at least, not as critica...

Okay that sounds fine.....I kept hearing people complain about energy consumption, and I thought it might be substantially more.

Re: How much electricity does a 50in Plasma use?
Dan....reading your post made my head, neck and back hurt, LOL. I realize that plasma's peak usage or max wattage is higher than LCD, but my understanding is that 720p 42inch plas vs 42inch LCD use a similar amount of power per a given unit of time.....I have noticed that as the size and pixels incr...
