For my primary gaming rig, I purchased an EVGA GTX 470 with a Zalman VF3000f aftermarket cooler. Together, they cost me $240 from TPU forums.
Purchased an Asus GTX 470 for $220 from newegg. These are for my...
I am planning to put together a gaming PC and I was all ready with the config etc. I had decided on an intel i7 920, and now all of a sudden I'm seeing reviews of AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2GHz performing equally well, or even better in some cases. Also, both processors apparently OC...
Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
availability of the HD5850s and 5870s are really poor everywhere. I've been wanting to buy a Sapphire/XFX/Asus 5850 or 5870 for almost 2 weeks now. The only ones that have some sort of availability are Diamond and Powercolor, but I'd rather not go...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Two quick questions:
1. If i run games at a resolution of 1920x1080 on a 28" monitor, what kind of details (textures, AA, AF) can i expect of the recent and soon to be released games (Modern Warfare 2, NFS Shift etc.) using a single HD 5850 and...
