To crossfire for Skyrim ...?

Maybe try leaving your game at 4X AA and adding http://mrhaandi.blogspot.com/p/injectsmaa.html to the mix? I use InjectSMAA in a lot of games with no other AA and they look great and take almost no performance hit.

tweaktown review GTX660Ti

I guess? To me it still just looks like the 7950 has comparable performance (after fiddling with OC) but costs more, is louder, runs hotter, uses more power, doesn't have PhysX, and has bad OpenGL drivers/performance. And doesn't come with a free $60 copy of Borderlands 2. I want to play games...

tweaktown review GTX660Ti

Sounds like someone's justifying the 7950 listed in their sig. I see the 660 Ti competing with the 7950 while costing $30 less and including a free Borderlands 2. Tom's Hardware seemed to get different results than every other review site. ...win?

GTX 660Ti Reviews

I already bought Borderlands 2 so I'll be selling the copy that comes with the 660 Ti, hopefully for around $40. That makes the 660 Ti $70 cheaper than the 7950 (both at Newegg), simplified my decision quite a bit.

GTX 660Ti Reviews

Soo... Tom's Hardware says the card is a disappointment that's only competitive with the Radeon 7870. AnandTech, Guru 3D, TechPowerUp have it on par or better than a 7950 and are giving it Editor's Choice awards. MSI 660 Ti (overclocked) Twin Frozr is $300 after rebate and comes with...

Buy.com one day only sale on select LCD HDTV's Olevia 23" and 32"(sold out) $335 see below

The 37" is now sold out also. In retrospect I now sort of wish I'd gone for the 37 instead of the 32 but oh well. I was looking to stay around that $500 price point and there's always the temptation of an incremental improvement no matter what you're buying for just a little bit more money...

Buy.com one day only sale on select LCD HDTV's Olevia 23" and 32"(sold out) $335 see below

Ordered the 32", I've been in the market to upgrade from my 27" non-HD for a while now and this seems like a great deal. I was a little wary not knowing much about this brand, but some research at avsforum and other places seemed to indicate that it's a good picture for the money. All of the...

Creative Labs X-Fi Platinum $124 after rebate

I've been waiting for a deal on the X-Fi XtremeMusic so I was happy to see a $20 rebate on that one. Picked it up at the $72 price from Newegg, thanks OP!

MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra Socket 939

Yeah, I noticed the same thing, and I don't think there's any way to connect the PC speaker without that connector block. No big loss in my opinion, but the lack of a power LED was annoying. I solved that problem by cutting my 3-pin power led connector down the middle with a pair of scissors...

Western Digital 500GB SATA drive 16MB Cache $170 or 0.34¢ per GB

I am wary of dealing with ZZF now, at work we ordered a 750gb drive from them and received an open box which contained a 250gb drive that someone had put a 750gb label on. This led to a painful return process where ZZF tried charging a 15% restocking fee despite sending us an opened, used...

MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra Socket 939

I'm running a 2.0GHz Athlon 64 X2 3800+ that's overclocked to 2.5GHz on this board and everything's working great.

MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra Socket 939

I've got an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ which is stock at 2.0GHz (10 x 200MHz) and a Freezer 64 Pro. I have it overclocked to 2.5GHz (10 x 250MHz) with the HT multiplier dropped down to 4x and the RAM running at the DDR 333 ratio so that it comes out to actually being DDR 416 or so (250 * 333 /2). No...

MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra Socket 939

Got my board in today (finally). It had some weird Fujitsu-Siemens splash screen when I booted up for the first time. As far as I can tell, these boards are rebranded OEM versions of the Neo4-FI (revision 2.0 board) and come with a pretty stripped down BIOS with no overclocking options or...

DEAD: AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 San Diego 2.6Ghz Socket 939 - $139 @ Newegg!

What I was getting at is that the FX-55 @ 3.0 is only marginally faster than the X2 @ 2.5 for non-multithreaded applications, but the X2 smokes the FX-55 in games (Quake 3/4, CoD2, Oblivion, UT2007, Crysis, WoW, etc.) and apps that do take advantage of both processors. You also get the...

DEAD: AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 San Diego 2.6Ghz Socket 939 - $139 @ Newegg!

I considered jumping in on this, but at $139 + $30 for a heatsink/fan, it comes out to the exact same price as a retail Athlon 64 X2 3800 which can be OC'd from 2.0 to 2.5 GHz with the stock cooler.. for everything but a select few non-mulitprocessor-aware apps/games it seems like the X2 would...
