    Have We Already Lost The Battle For Net Neutrality? (Op Ed)

    Farrwalker, either your ignorance is staggering, or you are yet another corporate shill of the telecoms in place on Internet forums seeding misinformation. By no stretch is it accurate to claim they have built the Internet or its infrastructure. Literally hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars in...

    Uh Oh, Comcast CEO Says TWC Merger 'Full Steam Ahead'

    If the FCC permits the merger, I'm cancelling TWC immediately. Too many horror stories about Comcast customer service. Going to encourage all my friends and family to do the same. Unfortunately I think my only other option is ATT, but it's the principle of the matter. I encourage all of you out...

    The Evil Within PC Gets A 60 FPS Toggle, Playable Demo

    ""The team has worked the last four years perfecting the game experience with these settings in mind," the FAQ said." Well, "The Team" made a terrible, terrible mistake and whoever greenlighted that choice needs to be fired and told to go scrub toilets at a local truckstop. Sorry Bethesda, you...

    EVGA ACX 2.0 cooler problem?

    I can't speak to the pipe alignment or eVGA's plans, however I can attest to the effectiveness of what is currently in place. I am actually using twin 980s, both with ACX 2.0 and both substantially overclocked (+150 on the GPU, +325 on the RAM and using +87mv overvolt) and I have not seen the...

    4k build not sure to SLI or upgrade EVGA 780 Classy

    I was faced with the same conundrum, and ended up opting for the 980 SLI solution (actually just arrived a couple hours ago). Sold my 780ti Classy to a colleague to offset the price of two new cards so realistically the investment was worthwhile. One reason why I went with this was the support...

    NVIDIA 344.16 WHQL Display Driver for new GTX 970 with an old GTX 680 question

    From what I remember, .16 was merely a compatibility fix for a couple of specific brands of cards in the 900 series. There were no profile or performance improvements over .11. I would say if .11 is working for you as you would like it to, let well enough alone.

    Nvidia Now Selling Original GTX SLI Bridges

    I would like to know if any other manufacturers (EVGA, MSI, etc) will be making something these any time soon. These are nice and all, but let's face it, this would look horrible sitting on top of a Classified card with a a black and red ACX cooler (or whatever you have in your respective...

    Tom's Hardware's Haswell-E-Based Builder Sweepstakes

    Love Maingear's water cooling very classy. Digital Storm gets points for the setup (not a fan of the color though), but those specs... Like the clear case by Puget, too, so why not.

    Asus Intros PB287Q True 4K/UHD Monitor

    Yeah, at this point I am starting to feel like video card companies are playing a game of chicken with the display manufacturers. I understand a fair amount of R&D and product design goes into each respective release, but let's face it, HDMI 2.0 wasn't just sprung on us a couple weeks ago. It's...
