    AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 Video Card Review @ [H]

    I love the availability and pricing links at the end of the article. If you follow the XFX at amazon link for $499, all the cards listed are $700+ Holy crap! Talk about price inflation. For that price you could get a 1080Ti and blow this thing away at way less power, heat, noise. The AMD...

    Computer turns on but Monitor doesn't detect signal

    If you pull the RAM and boot cold and you have no warning beeps, your board is having issues. (Like above, this assumes you have a speaker attached to the header to hear the tones out of.) I have a little peizo speaker that I keep transferring to new systems, and one in my tool bag for...

    Nintendo NX will crush XB1 and mame PS4

    I really liked the WiiU as well. Problems that killed it: Under powered. It's not that console people by power really. It's that major published can't port back to it easily because it doesn't have the same capabilities as the other consoles. Even if you do a port it's going to look pretty...

    290x worth $50 more than 290?

    Yup. I think the prices will end up like this for a June launch, with availability in the summer: 390x $500-$550 ($650CDN) 390 $400 ($550CDN) 380x (rebadged 290x) $350 ($400CDN) 380 (rebadged 290) $300 ($350CDN) So if you see a great deal on a 290x or 290 grab it! I just grabbed an ASUS R9...

    Corsair Graphite Series 600T Mid-Tower Case Review @ [H]

    Does anyone have data on the impact on temps and sound that changing the solid or windowed panel to the mesh panel have?

    Thermaltake Frio OCK CPU Cooler

    I really wish they would have put it against the Noctua NH-D14 and the Silver Arrow. If the thing is $70, those other coolers are in the ballpark. They are the incumbents in the area.

    Rage sucks

    Exactly. But us old schoolers by now have realized that ID's strength was always in the technical. They have been revising the same game since Wolf 3D, with varying degrees of success.

    Will I hear difference if i upgrade sound card?

    I don't really hear a difference between a modern onboard sound chip and a dedicated card. I've compared to the original X-Fi and the Revolution 7.1. The ALC889A on my Gigabyte motherboard has a SNR of 106db on the outputs. (104db on the inputs) I doubt my ears could even here the difference...

    Is everyone using 5.1 speakers?

    I'm using Logitech 2.1 set I picked up years ago. Analog inputs, THX certified, nice quality. I can't remember what model it is. Got them for $80 at Staples while on sale, was regular $160. So I grabbed a set. Mostly using my Grado RS-80 headphones now so I don't disturb the household. The...

    Onboard vs SB Live

    Your Live! will sound better than the on-board sound on that old motherboard. There is lots of info on how to get your Live card to work with Windows 7 out there. I know it's possible with 32bit Win7 for sure, not so sure about 64bit. If you were talking about a current board with something...

    The (LAN)Party Is Over, For DFI

    I never owned a DFI board. (I've been a Gigabyte person, with a splash of ASUS, for 12 years.) I always has respect for the company for having active support in their forums. They had a reputation for helping people out where the larger companies tech support would have no clue. It's too bad...

    Yahoo CEO Tells Michael Arrington to “F” Off

    Arrington has made a carreer of pushing people's buttons. His publication, Tech Crunch, is about on the same level as Gizmodo. The trashiest garbage. Some people in media and industry are starting to call him on it. Suck it down.

    Blizzard Making Millions Selling Mounts

    I kind of understand the buying in game thing from the publisher and the gamer's point. But I don't understand why there is a queue to be able to 'pick up' your virtual item. Why do you have to wait 5+ hours? Can't you just pay for it and the item would appear with your character? Is...
