    GTX 470 - Which Board?

    I'm seem to be settling on the GTX 470 for my next build. Prices seem to start $300 and seem to go up to the $380 range. Most of the cards have essentially the same specs. Occasionally one might have factory overclocking. Other than the latter, is there anything much to differentiate the...

    Is this PSU enough for this card?

    I don't know what the deal is...I thought this PSU was plenty for this card but ever since I've switched from ATI to Nvidia it's been nothing but TROUBLE. Every ATI card I've ever had played almost flawlessly. Anyway I'm on a 9800GT right now and a 450W BFG tech. I can play most games but...

    ATi prices to drop by the end of the month for 5xxx cards?

    If Nvidia's GF100 chip or GTX 470 and GTX 480 cards are launching by the end of this month, wouldn't it make sense for an ATi price cut? ATi no long has the splendor of being the only DirectX 11 card manufacturer, which hopefully means that they will do some price slashing. The gap between a new...
