There's really only two upgrades that would make much of a difference. A) Buy a 9590 and an AIO water cooler with at least a 240mm radiator B) Buy a 4790K and an Asus Motherboard. I would personally recommend the Maximus VII Hero Past that, putting a water cooler on your 8320 and overclocking...

I'm going to be replacing the HDD in my laptop with an SSD soon and I was wondering if I'll have any issues with the OS. I don't plan on cloning the drive, so would there be any issues with the Windows 7 validation after installing the SSD? I bought the copy of W7 myself, it's not a factory...

I'm buying an SSD soon, but my chipset only supports SATA 3Gb/s, so I was wondering if a SATA 6Gb/s SSD would saturate the bandwidth and use all 375MB/s available, or run at half the speed it normally would. I feel like it would saturate the bandwidth, but I'm not an expert, so having input from...

Am I the only one wondering if this might also make stuttering a thing of the past, or at least much less prominent?

So, the 390X should be between 49.6% and 74% faster than the 290X, based on the possible Compute Unit count and the performance the 380X gives here. It's most likely going to be 61% faster, which is a pretty serious improvement, and means GM200 better have at least a 40% improvement over GK110...

The insane thing is, this card is more than likely the 380X. AMD said their 390X would be aimed at GM200 a month and a half after the 980 was released, and the 380X/380 would be aimed at the 970 and 980, so they knew what the performance would likely be. They also knew that GM200 is supposed to...

@Alter-iGo Did you read the article? These cards are meant for 4k and multi 1440p monitor setups. Believe it or not, 2GB is pretty much the smallest amount you can use for 1080p right now, as 1GB doesn't cut it for textures any higher than the medium settings on most games. Having 8GB will be...

Gigabyte OC R7 250X: $95 MSI OC R7 260X: $120 XFX R7 265: $144 HIS IceQ X^2 R9 270X: $170 XFX DD R9 280X: $280 Gigabyte Windforce R9 290: $360 Those are the cheapest models for each card.

Really the only problem with any OS that uses a form of linux is that there isn't a lot of support for gaming and some other media applications, other than that it's all pros, no cons.

@Core 2 Duo Dude 4 way IS better, but that 4th GPU doesn't scale well. It ends up looking something like this: 1st card: 100% 2nd card: 95% 3rd card: 85% 4th card: 60% Getting 3 cards is still worth the extra performance, but that fourth one? Not really. That's why 3 780 Ti's is the highest...
