    Incredibly unhappy with EVGA

    I just bought a new 560ti sc from newegg. still shrink wrapped from evga the card was clearly used and scratched. I was going to keep it anyway for use in the step up program, but the card had a VERY loud capacitor whine in certain games/maps. rma- the new card is not used this time, but...

    Q9550 for bf3 worth it?

    Just wanted to thank everyone that posted. I tried finding a "cheap" q9550, but no luck. I thought about the q6600 (can be had for 55-100$ easy) but decided to put the $ on a new cpu/mb/ram combo. i5 2500k Asus P8Z68pro gen3 (last one in stock, thanks newegg :D)...

    GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core Review Round-Up

    I just picked up a 560 ti sc for 229.00$ after rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130610 The card comes 900/1800/4212mhz, I wonder how much more I can get from it. I plan to use the evga step up program, if you buy any evga card without a lifetime warranty (no 448...

    shooting for 4.5 to 5 on water with this set up. I am so used to spending more $ on good memory, any reason not to get these for my goals? Seems the lower voltage will help the cpu. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231461

    Is this a bad time to buy a new card?

    I am trying to wait, but just about to buy an evga card in hopes of kepler dropping within the 90 days I have to use their step up program. If the card you buy does not have a lifetime warranty, you need to buy the 15$ extended warranty from evga when you register the card to use it in the step...

    Q9550 for bf3 worth it?

    Thanks to Frito and his time for this thread http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1654043 The old quad's are just not worth the $ for bf3 imo. If I could grab one around 100$ maybe, but I cant see spending the 180-250$ they are going for when a 2500 and board can be had for a few dollars more...

    BF3 64 player MP CPU benchmarks!

    The fact it can be turned off, or maybe even worked through/around, makes me want to go 2600/HT for future proofing, or the chance they smooth things out with updates, not to mention if any other game(s) come out on the next few years that take better advantage of HT. The extra $ wont kill me...

    BF3 64 player MP CPU benchmarks!

    This just makes me want a 2600 and HT even more, gee thanks a lot Frito:rolleyes: but seriously, thanks a lot man, this puts my questions about a q9550 being enough to hold me over for 38xx or ivy to rest. I am fairly certain going from an e6750 @ 3.38 to whatever I can get from a q9550 will not...

    Which model of GTX 570 should I choose?

    I am in the same boat, and about to settle on a 570. I am going with evga for the lifetime warranty, HOWEVER... you need to check the part number or warranty details as some evga cards ARE NOT lifetime warranty. I haven't been around [H]ardware for awhile, and this was news to me. this 570...

    Q9550 for bf3 worth it?

    I would like to skip sandy and wait for ivy, and maybe the q6600 will help me do that. I thought the 45nm with the q9550 might help a lot, but finding one cheap is not easy. I have seen threads showing even the i5 2500 hitting its limit playing bf3 in multiplayer on the render display graph in...

    Q9550 for bf3 worth it?

    I'm not sure if I can hold out for ivy, much less kepler, and would appreciate some opinions on bf3's bottom frame rate and a duo vs quad upgrade. Current rig (circa 2007) abit IP35 pro e6750@ 3.38 on air, stock cooler. 2 x 2gb gskill ddr2 1k 10k wd raptor I just rma'd an evga 8800 gts...
