    News Intel may have finally caught up to AMD in iGPU performance — Meteor Lake's Arc iGPU edges out AMD Phoenix's RDNA 3 iGPU in gaming and synthetic be...

    AMD is enormous nowadays compared to where it used to be at its peak down-and-out era of Late Phenom II' into the FX Chip line nightmare, poor Bulldozer...... In any case, they have tremendous market share and are in almost every console, if not AMD, then ARM. They have built in-roads, business...

    Best Buy Online Sales Rise Due to Amazon Tax

    Best Buy is a robbery, a blatant robbery, I saw a stick of PNY 512mb DDR2! DDR2!! for $25 not too long ago! Amazon in general is one of the most comprehensive places to shop, it is even more organized than ebay with seperate affiliate online stores. Whatever self-proclaimed gains Best Buy is...

    XFX Radeon HD 7970 or GTX 670

    Definetly the 7970, great OC potential, and is in more of a range of a 680 often and at times even beat it.

    GTX480 EVGA SC

    I would probably just pick up the 480 GTX, I actually was looking into them a month or two ago and some on ebay were for around $150 which is great price. Also the 570 GTX and 6950 are in that neighborhood. Even if you won't get the full potential out of those cards, if you ever upgrade your rig...

    GTX480 EVGA SC

    Most definetly not, and I'm looking at that AMD Phenom 9500, not that it wouldn't be compatible but it is hefty bottleneck on performance. You also need at least a 1.1 PCI-Express x16 slot on your motherboard to utilize sufficient bandwidth from that card, and you haven't listed your...

    How powerful?

    It's a solid build and outside of replacing your Hard drive with an SSD, the main power is going to come from your GPU (graphics card). Most benchmarks are used with an i7 at a substantial speed and most all games will only utilize 4 cores and the i5 is a top contender in the CPU arena. So your...

    Sounds like it's possibly just a diversion, throw the fuzz on a different scent, if they buy it.

    AMD Shows Live Demo of Trinity APU With Eyefinity Gaming

    YukaCurrent Llano heats a lot in desktop, so they better come up with better HSFs this time around for the Boxed ones. Also, it's pretty darn impressive that it can push 3x 1680x1050 monitors in eyefinity, even with the artifacts, lol.Cheers! I'm assuming you meant the end part of the video...

    What does Ramping And Yield's mean exactly?

    We have all read a lot about different delays when it comes to producing chips. From trouble ramping production and yield issues notably with recent chips such as AMD's Llano and Nvidia's Fermi and now more recently Kepler. But what is this whole process exactly? What matures the production...

    First Images of Nvidia GK104 Kepler Card Leaked Online

    If the 660 and 650TI are truly 3.4 Billion transistors each as reported on the article: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Nvidia-Kepler-GPU-GeForce-600-Series,14642.html this could be a very scary thing for Nvidia. If the performance is equal to that of a 580 GTX and yet has to cram a whopping...

    Is the Q9650 still good?

    Its an older cpu, but not by a large amount. It can hang with the phenom II X4's so I see no reason to upgrade with those workloads, maybe if your really really into lower power consumption costs but at the same time you'll never get your money back by upgrading the CPU and of course the...
