    R9 290 vs r9 280x

    the 290 is obviously better... but not by 50 % as the price. the 280x, with a decent psu can reach very close or even equal 290 performances, if it has good cooling, by overclocking. However, even at stock clocks it will max games at high/ultra for that resolution. For long time thinking, you...

    R9 280 (not 280x) or GTX 770

    hey, the 280 is best for price performance. The 280x is very much equal with 770 as performance. However if your motherboard supports SLI and you plan to do SLI, then you could consider an investment the extra money spent for the 770. Please check your motherboard, because it could support...

    gtx 780 vs r9 290x

    780 is in close contest with 290. 290x is better. however for 1080p 780 and 290 provide more than enough performance. The 290x does a little better, but its more for higher resolutions. if you have the money for 290x, buy it. If you want very good performance price ratio then 290 / 780...

    I want to convert fahrenheit to celsius but when i execute it the answer is weird

    well "cel" is declared integer. Try with float. #include <stdio.h> main() { int fh; float cel; fh = 200; cel = 5.0 * (fh-32) / 9.0; printf("your celsius degree is %lf\n", cel); } seems to be working fine http://www.compileonline.com/compile_c_online.php

    Understanding GPU longevity - to aid upgrade planning

    hi, The longevity of an stock overclocked card should still be longer than the technology lifecycle. That means that if a card at the safest clock would last for example 20 years (physical integrity), the technological average lifespan is around 5 years. Almost any 5 years old card is...

    Best GTX 780?!?! MSI or EVGA?

    I am very pleased with my Evga Superclocked 780 ACX, but I also heard good things about the Asus ones. I would recommend EVGA between it and MSI for the reason that I am pleased with the warranty, cooling and generally their GPU's are very overclockable (from what I heard they test the cips and...
