    abit AW9D-MAX

    In my eyes at least you're side-stepping the issue. Yes, there is no guarantee that you'll have a good overclock, but that's mostly because of the processor you'll choose, not the motherboard - you're mixing up the two. A motherboard that has certain specifications and is designed in a certain...

    abit AW9D-MAX

    Won't argue there, but it's different to say "hey, our board had such and such problems when overclocked, we contacted the manufacturer and he said yada yada" than saying "we cannot recommend this board because we experienced all that stuff". With the latter you are generalising, and you lead...

    abit AW9D-MAX

    Guys, I have the board running with a E6600 at 400x9 for quite a while now, and I haven't even began to pushing it. Could it be that you somehow got a bad board or something?

    Don't mean to sound inflammatory or anything, but you really seem to have an opinion on B3D because of the things you *hear* or *think you know* about the site and not because you actually visit it.

    It depends on what you consider optimization - I mean, in certain platforms, merely re-arranging instructions without actually altering them results in better performance because the pipelines are constantly fed. It's (more or less) the same with CPUs and GPUs really - I've done optimizations...

    Allow me to disagree.

    I will definitely agree to that, and to add insult to injury, I still see computer magazines for instance benchmarking graphics cards like we are still in the 2001-era. This has definitely got to stop. I agree that you can't judge the way a card performs by running a timedemo - but, on the...

    Umm, no. When you have an optimization that produces the same result as the original function, you don't see a difference and thus you don't care whether optimizations exist in the game or not - you merely concentrate on gameplay. I didn't negate anything and I really don't understand your way...

    Nothing to do with ignorance, everything to do with mathematically equal optimizations. There's a difference.

    You and I and everyone else should start mentioning that in our reviews more - most games do not support widescreen resolutions and need hacks to work; and that doesn't apply for every game. Widescreen gaming is here to stay imo. As for optimizations (since I saw the topic mentioned), it's a...

    A brand new [H]ard|OCP

    Looks excellent guys, well done :) Question: I use FF, and since I usually work at 16x12 and upwards, I use the "minimum font size" property to enlarge the fonts. Will this have an impact on the new site's readability, since it's going to be of static width?
