RIP Gamers, not even the 1080 Ti will save you now.

If it makes you feel any better, I RMA'd a card through MSI earlier last year, and they did the same thing. When they got the card I got this email: "Dear customer, Replacement is not available for your RMA. Would you accept below refund amount? Please respond via email within 3-5 business...

Real world speeds from T-Mo's 42Mbps network

Which one? The link he did or the picture he posted? In my experience LTE is usually around 10Mbps on the upload (20Mbps on the download) with spikes up to (in my area anyway) 35Mbps down/12Mbps up. Tmobile doesn't seem to be matching/beating LTE, but then again $30 prepaid sure beats the...

Real world speeds from T-Mo's 42Mbps network

Snapdragon has asynchronous cores so while Exynos is faster, Snapdragon should have longer battery life because it can downclock cores independently.

BitCoin: making money with DC - literally!

HTPC/server/transcoding and the role of the cpu?

I went with virtualization instead of building multiple computers. It actually was pretty easy, and works well. I run a WHS VM, and a Linux VM on a W7 HTPC setup. That way it's all on one machine, I save power versus 3 setups, and it's incredible easy to back up my entire WHS onto a spare...

ILLINOIS MICRO CENTER: Motherboard scams Again!

I'm more inclined to believe him myself, because of a similar incident that happened to me. I had an EVGA motherboard go bad on me (working to no post at all). I tried to read how long their RMAs usually take, and saw a lot of people claiming they'd be accused of having bent pins when they...

Honestly, if you started out wanting a Macbook Pro you might be able to find cheaper or faster laptops but you're still going to wish you had got the Macbook Pro.

BCLK overclocking not a problem for LGA2011 platform

If there is a car coming right at you the time for action is BEFORE it hits you. I don't think it's unreasonable for people to start thinking of alternatives even before Intel actually starts shipping Sandy Bridge parts. Wow, the very last part of 2011? Quite a long wait for any new parts...

Eyefinity Adaptor?

That guy that says it isn't an active adapter is confusing it with older DP converters before ATI came in and offered low cost active DP adapters. The new ATI provided ones like the one in that link are active, and it says so in the description on Newegg. You will only need 1 of that kind.

How many people have fried a i5 or i7(s1156)

I was afraid I had, but it turned out my motherboard died. (LOTES socket, EVGA P55 SLI) It ended up costing me $25 or so too because when you exchange an item at Tigerdirect even if you exchange it for the same identical item (you aren't getting any money back) they invalidate your Bing...

Set all your settings to the single display settings you want, then create a profile for it and hotkey it. Then do the same for Eyefinity. I use ALT-E to go into eyefinity mode, and ALT-R to exit for example.
