Just go with a 7950 or an overclocked 7870. You can get both dirt cheap now with price drops. I bought the 7870 from Gigabyte which is factory overclocked and I run BF3 in 1920x1200 with everything maxed out.

Why not simply have a swap partition onto a SSD?

A Bad DayI thought APUs typically use the previous generation GPU architecture? I makes no sense to use previous generation design in an APU, as the GPU part of it will take part of the global envelope. You want to squeeze out the best performance per Watt, to leave the most thermal capacity to...

guzami77I have a revodrive x2.. not a fan of PCI-e SSDs overall.. they can be finicky and you cant increase voltage to your PCI lanes for overclockingSticking with sata SSDs in raid from now on You shouldn't overclock your PCI-e speed. The gain you get for in FPS is minimal and it can...

msgun98According to the rumors, the 7850 will perform like a slightly higher clocked 6950. Basically they are going back to the naming from the 4xxx series and 5xxx series days instead of their weird naming for the 6-series. The 7850 will be a die-shrinked version of the 6950 updated with the...

You should test it with a computer joined to an AD domain. My job laptop still run Windows XP and McAfee, which is a real PITA.

Finaly! I remember when that mod started, it was amazing and I was still playing a lot with Doomsday to Heretic/Hexen. Glad to see this is finally near completion.

Yeah, an article about Microsoft and Mozilla bragging about who's got the biggest!

Why throttle it? Its been years since programmer last used the CPU frequency to time their game. Having it run full potential would simply let the CPU idle more often and reduce game lag under intense sequence.

AMD has been making huge leap in term of server hardware lately. But their desktop division is still trailling far behind. I know that the money is in the businesses, but I can't stop wishing they get a 12 cores monster consumer CPU.

jasperjonesDRM is evil. Steam might be one of the lesser evils but it's still evil.The more Steam games you buy, the more you are locked into the system. What if, two years from now, you decide that Steam is crap and you don't want it on your computer anymore? Well, you can throw it off, but...

Dead simple. The games has been realized long ago and Rock Star didn't wanted to take much time to release this game to Steam. Recompiling the program would have needed to setup a compiling environment, and check the executable for defects. Instead, they already had the fix right under hand and...

jtt283Although it was in the back of my mind two years ago, little did I realize just how long my Q9450 would remain a competent CPU. From these charts, it's got YEARS of life left in it, and is even likely worth buying another S775 mobo as my orphaned Abit flakes out. Not only does it make...

JonnydoughI've been trying to decide if two GTS250's in SLI will max out my Opteron185 running at 2.8ghz nicely. It's on a socket 939 board, and only PCI-E 1.0 or 1.1. I'd have to check for sure. I'm going for balance, and wouldn't want to overpay for cards. Fallout is a game I'll be playing...

rhino13I don't think this is gonna happen. It's just hype.If lower power is the new thing people will just load a server up with Atoms. Atom performance per watt and clock sucks hard! That's the deal in fact, ARM performance is far greater in both fields. And in a server farm, this mean a lot...
