    GameStop CEO Says Xbox 720 is 'Hot and Compelling'

    Achoo22My only interest in buying consoles is to get away from the "always-connected" and "internet aware" software models so common these days. If these new consoles aren't 100% usable (minus multiplayer, of course) without internet access, I will 100% not be buying. So does that mean if both...

    Auria EQ276W 27" IPS Monitor Review: QHD For $400

    I have this monitor and it has been great so far (about 2 months). For the input lag test what connection was used? I have heard Display port has lower lag then DVI but it would be great for Tom's to confirm as I trust their testing methods.

    These are the Free Games EA is Giving Out for SimCity Fiasco

    for everyone thinking about buying simcity to get a free game I think you may have had to already pruchase the game in the past... I would really double check before you buy simcity and ony get that unless it s what you wanted.

    Best 3rd Person Shooter with Not a Lot of Swearing?

    I would not get fallout games for kids. The games reward drug use and teach that for 50 bottlecaps you can cure your addiction. Of course I think the games are great but if you are concerned about swearing I would avoid fallout games for their drugh and alcohol use.

    French Court Says Apple Store Staff Can't Work Late Nights

    Apple just needs to adopt to the local rules....I'm guessing the stores don't open at 6am so they can have a shift come in early and clean. Also this is probably the typical case of them being scheduled to work until the store closes..but then the boss asks you stay late to clean up. When i...

    New Details Revealed on AMD's Upcoming Richland Chips

    Anyone know how theses APUs compares to the 4600M...is the 4600M between the A8-5550M and A105750M or weaker then the A8 5550M? I;m only asking in gaming terms as I might by a laptop for light gaming and the 4600M is available for well under $500 these days (I have a desktop for full gaming).

    [Graphics Card] GTX650Ti 2GB vs. HD7850 1GB

    a single 7850 is a better choice then a 650ti. look at the hierarchy chart that Toms does for value and they place the 7850 as two steps above the 650ti. I don't think the 2gb will be properly utilized by the 650ti. That being said if you can get the 7850 2GB carrd that is probably a good...

    ADM or Intel

    I think the 8350 is probably not the most budget friendly choice. You should either get the 3570K (costs more) or the AMD 6300. conversely you could get an I5-3XXX that is non -k (and means you can't overclock it) which would also be a very good choice and probably closer in cost to the 8350...

    Random 100% disk usage causing lag spikes

    I have the same issue. Norton warned me during one spike that it was Google chrome. I have avoided using chrome the last few days. I'll try and come back to update on the effect, so far so good. Also I have an ssd, and still had a few seconds lock up. Also task manager showed that it...

    Upgrading from 460GTX to 660GTX Ti OC Worth?

    I upgraded from the 460GTX to a 7870 XT (Tahiti) and it is a huge improvement. the 660TI and 7870 XT have pretty similar performance so I am guessing you will see much better perf. I can almost run crisis 2 with everything maxed on a 2560 by 1440 screen (well I get low 30's FPS in the bit...

    Best Graphics Cards For The Money: January 2012 (Archive)

    OnusI thought it WAS a Tahiti GPU. In any case, I find nothing compelling about it whatsoever. It's hot, loud, and really sucks down the juice (more even than the HD7950). If you need this level of performance, get a HD7950, not this excuse. The thing I find compelling is that iit is like...

    Club3D 7870 Joker Card Or Gigabyte 7870

    Tahiti version of card is much better (tom's has benchmarks posted). It is pretty large so make sure it fits in your case (at least the sapphire one I got was quite big). Of course I may be biased since I have a 7870 LE (XT or whatever you want to call it)
