    Used 780 or new 970

    I see a mixed opinion on weather the 780 will suffice my needs or not. So to clarify so. Information, I will be gaming on a 1080p monitor and have no plans in the near future to upgrade. My 7870 has 2gb of ram and other than not being able to max gta5 variety sliders, the vram seems to be...

    Used 780 or new 970

    Hello everyone, I'm looking into upgrading my 7870 and have been recently looking at two options. I can find second hand gtx 780 cards for around 250$ while new 970's hover slightly above $500. The used market on 970's bounce between 380-500$. Would it be a good idea to just go for a 780...

    770 or wait for 880.

    I am currently using a HD7870 and looking to upgrade. Should I buy a gtx770 for $350 right now or wait for the gtx880 which is said to be rumored to hit the 450-500 price point. Currently I am using two 1080p monitors but am thinking on upgrading one of them to 1440p. Thanks

    Hello, I recently added a small HDD from my laptop onto my desktop for my photos. It worked perfectly at first but one day, it decided to disappear from my computer. It does not appear in both device manager and disk management. The drive is connected to a port that is fully functional as...

    3570k 4.2ghz @ 70C?

    Hello everyone. I have recently overclocked my i5 3570k to gain a little bit more performance. To go with this, I purchased a Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme (on sale for 70$) to help keep it cool. I have replaced the stock thermal compound with Arctic Cooling MX-4. I have set the core...
