Needs a new engine. I don't want to play a game that looks like it is from 2005.

Whats the explanation behind the AMD deficiency?

Kinda pointless article other then the fact that the 580 offers superb performance but until I see power and noise set in stone I honestly don't care. A single GPU nearly outperforming a 5970 is quite a statement. Wonder if AMD has what it takes to answer this as the 6850 IMPO is pretty...

Might as well just throw all your components in a shoe box and call it good.

Why does Tom's always use 'old' hardware when it comes to linux reviews but when it comes to anything else they always have the latest and greatest CPU / GPU combo? A Radeon 4870? Really?

How many industrial software suites utilize CUDA anyways? There are hardly any mainstream programs so unless its developed in house I can't see many companies dying to get their hands on these.

Fantastic articles; Thank you!

stifleThose using server farms for simulation running generally write their own code / Linux kernels don't they? Not really, sure they might patch the kernel to accept some bleeding edge hardware but other then that the defacto standard in HPC is Perceus which is open source and by that nature...

Would like 3 weeks of one in my possession if it is capable of Folding@Home.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAHHH FULL ON DOUBLE AMD RAINBOW RENDER! It's so intense; what does it mean? Honestly does this mean anything?

GodfailNecessity is only to activate, just like most Microsoft products (unless you phone them in). As far as custom games go, they are played Peer to Peer, so if you understand basic routing and port forwarding, the furthest you are from another player is two hops on a LAN. Godfail, you...

phatboeWhat exactly are these Z-Series mainframes used for and what OS is it running? The Z-series run OS400 by default. You can buy windows emulator cards but they are only allowed to use the X86 based processors built into the cards but can access the insane database capabilities without...

Spybot.......????? It conveniently ignores spyware from vendors that pay enough $$$$.

chaos133I thought the Core i3 and Core i5 had an integrated GPU on them? Or am I wrong? You could argue that even though the die layout of this is much more efficient and productive. Not to metion even with Xenos being 5 years old it still will outperform the pathetic Intel graphics solution...

4 years later..... Just wait for Bulldozer..... AMD is coming back! 0.o 8 years later..... Just wait for 'x'........... AMD is coming back! 0.o I loved myself some AMD back in the Althon XP/64 days but I have moved onto the i7 platform without wincing and it just boggles my mind that people I...
