    Yamakasi Catleap LCD

    It looks like some people at OCN are trying to petition the manufacturer to bring a limited run of the original (overclockable) monitor back. We'll see how that pans out. Without the OC it's more dubious whether it's worth it. It's still 1440p IPS at $400, but you don't get a warranty, the build...

    Yamakasi Catleap LCD

    True - I'm sure there will be issues with that OC down the line. However, isn't the bigger story here that there is fact exists an LCD panel capable of those refresh rates at that resolution in the first place? It should be a fairly small step for device makers to improve controller...

    Yamakasi Catleap LCD

    Did anyone else read about that Yamasaki Catleap LCD that people over on OCN are all gung ho about? Apparently they managed to overclock them to do 120Hz, which would be a first for 1440p AFAIK: http://www.overclock.net/t/1225919/yamakasi-catleap-monitor-club/1830...

    GPU suggestions: best value, for playing SHOGUN 2?

    Avoid SLI/X-Fire like the plague unless you already have the fastest single card out there and can afford to get 2 of them. That's my advice. Other than that, either the 6870 or 560 Ti should play Shogun 2 fine. There are some monster settings in Shogun 2 that will bog down pretty much any...

    Bulldozer prices leaked

    They sure do, and have for some time now. Strictly speaking, they name their cores after towns with race tracks (every architecture well, ever, from both Intel and AMD has been named after a town... somewhere). Remember Magny-Cours? ...yeah. It may sound like "many-core", and it sure had a...

    [Guru3D]AMD Radeon 7000 series coming in Q2?

    AMD has a history of jumping to new processes before nVidia does. They also have a history of trying out the new process on a mid-range card in the existing lineup. This strategy has a history of working well. I have a hard time believing that they would risk what nVidia has endured in the...

    Dead End Thrills

    The way things are going, we're not even moving towards that. The cycle that drove the industry for a decade (demanding games -> powerful hardware -> even more demanding games -> even more powerful hardware) has slowed down to a crawl. Sure, the hardware part of the cycle is still chugging...

    Unlimited Detail: next gen graphics engine?

    This is an interesting video, but I can't help but think that it smells like skunk. What are the tradeoffs? Where is this huge repository of points that it is searching in? The demo looks impressive in terms of geometry, but I can't get away from the fact that it's just the same shapes repeating...

    Can this problem be solved using Linear Algebra? Proof type problem.

    I would say no. You have three equations, and four unknowns. It cannot be solved through purely algebraic methods, that is, you must have some additional information (such as geometric knowledge) in order to solve it.

    interchanging laptop displays.

    Will most likely not work. The connector might be in the wrong place, power requirements might be different, the port used might be different, etc... There's a decent chance that a panel from the same OEM would work, but of course, no guarantees.

    Questions about physics

    Well, they had to assume something, didn't they? In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, the simplest assumption is that the speed of light is the same everywhere. So that's what they assumed. It's difficult to test, either way. We'd pretty much have to go somewhere else in the universe...

    Questions about physics

    You raise a number of good points, most of which are fundamentally tricky parts of modern physics, some of which are still contested. 1) Space is curved so that "standing still" is really what looks (to us) like "accelerating toward the other body". Yeah, that still bothers me too. 2) Tidal...

    Which is faster for Starcraft: Cyrix M2 333 (actual 266) or Intel Pentium 1 233 MMX at 266?

    lol I also thought this was someone trying to run SC on their old vintage laptop or something. I can personally attest that is does not run well on a 1994 Toshiba with a 16 MHz 486 and 24 megs of RAM (It ran, but there was some serious slow-motion going on). I tried it last year just for the...

    Puzzle

    It seems that just the act of assigning a variable to represent the amount of money in an envelope causes trouble. If we let x represent the amount of money in one envelope, then the other envelope becomes more attractive. But the same holds true if we let x represent the money in the other...

    Puzzle

    But in the hypothetical case where we haven't even opened the envelopes yet, we have literally not gained any new information. How can we draw the conclusion that one envelope is better than another if we have no new information?

    Puzzle

    My problem is that I don't see how opening the envelope gives you any new information. OK, so there's x money in there. Let's go back to before we opened any envelopes. Let's assume that there's x money in the left envelope. Grabbing the right envelope now has the expectation value of giving you...

    I c said the old man

    This could theoretically be done, if you could find some way to make the force act uniformly on all the particles in your body. The only way I can think of doing that would be with gravity, which poses some pretty severe problems. But you could do it for, say, a single elementary particle...

    ARM: How does it compare, exactly?

    Clean out that damn video card!

    My 6800GS used to go up to 120C on a regular basis. Only reason it didn't go higher was because that's where it throttled.

    Different mulitiplier/clocks per core, is this a bad idea?

    This is a well known issue in Windows. Supposedly 7 is better at scheduling, but at least up through Vista, the scheduler bounces threads around and essentially loads each core an equal amount. Individual core clocking naturally plays havoc with this scheme.

    What's the best way to do continuous GPU temp logging?

    The reason that lower card won't screw in is because the mobo and backplate are bending from the weight of the CPU heatsink. I would recommend taking some of the heatsink weight off the mobo with rubber bands, steel wire, or zip ties.

    Data corruption from overclocking?

    This is the main reason I run server hardware at stock clocks. The stability is unparalleled. Since I installed Vista ~2 years ago I have had exactly one BSOD, and I'm pretty sure that was a driver issue. My hackbox that is also (unfortunately) running Vista seems to crash once a month.

    Video card to pair with AMD 5800+ for TF2

    The multi-core setting is a godsend indeed. I'm sitting here on a 2x Opteron 2350 (8 cores at 2 GHZ) machine, and the framerate REALLY sucked before they introduced the multithreading functionality.
