    5870 spontaneously reboots

    I'll have to test leaving TF2 at its menu after I get home tonight. Never deal with Sapphire's RMA process, and according to http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/support/?cid=3&psn=000203 I'll need to bring it back to where I bought it in the first place. Not sure if I can still find the...

    5870 spontaneously reboots

    Symptom: The system stays stable for hours in TF2, but within minutes of getting back on the desktop, it will hard reboots. What I've tested so far, without success: - Disconnected the two mechanical drives - Left out 1 of the RAM sticks at a time - Swapped out PSU for an older unit -...

    CF 5870: go for it, or don't go for it

    I just upgraded my CPU from a C2D to a 2500K, and am in the same boat as you, graphics-wise. I'm considering offloading the 5870 for a pair of 6950s.

    Micro ATX Z68 motherboard help

    I'm in the same boat. Got a bunch of parts on the way but still need to decide on an mATX mobo. Looking at Newegg there are 4 choices right now. The $125 Asrock board is the only one that doesn't have dual x8 capability (which I want), but it does seem a lot more feature-rich than the Gigabyte...

    Is using a HDTV as a computer monitor a good idea?

    Personally I think a TV is better value. However, there are more uncertainties with a TV, so make sure that if you go that route, you do some research at places like AVSforum and get the TV from a place that you can easily return it to.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to get a Dolby Digital Live or DTS Connect signal out of a Radeon 4870's HDMI port? Thanks.

    SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 1GB

    This is - I think - the first blue PCB 4870 1GB out there. Damn. I just received the MSI one from newegg yesterday. Wish I had waited, as it'd match the EP45-DS3R perfectly. Oh well, at least I get to fill out the $30 rebate.

    Is using a HDTV as a computer monitor a good idea?

    Recently I bought a Vizio SV42XVT (42" 1080p 120Hz) but returned it for a VO32LF (32" 1080p 60Hz) after about a month. With the 42" I first tried using it on the desk, sitting 3-4 ft away. For games it's *awesome*, but texts are way too blocky, and you can easily spot the subpixel rendering...

    FAQ (with answers) on the new GTX 260 with 216 cores

    Is it just me or is Nvidia's usage of "core" already getting tiresome? Next thing you know ATI will label the Radeon 4800 as having 800 cores.

    GTX 260 - 216 SP Review

    I guess it's basically the same thing as AMD slapping "XP" on Athlon 6 or so years ago - "hey this sounds familiar and kinda cool." Anyway, yes the 4870 is cheaper, but it also only has 512MB of RAM versus the GTX' 896MB. I've been waiting for the 1GB 4870s to show up (I don't want to deal...

    GTX280 Vs HD4870 - Help me decide!

    Tri-monitor with three video cards?

    Has anyone done that? Something along the lines of running a tri-SLI mobo and three 8800GT's, each driving its own 20" UXGA monitor. Will the video driver allow a horizontal span configuration for a 4800x1200 desktop? How much of a pain is it to get games running at this config? I suppose...

    sub $1000 gaming notebook

    Not sure about WoW, but CoH/CoV doesn't run too well on ATI cards, apparently because ATI only optimizes its OpenGL driver for Doom3/Quake4. Check the official board.

    When is Terminator 3 coming out?

    The problem here is that it uses the G965 chipset. I heard there's an issue with the integrated graphics unit and it is holding off product shipments. So it will be a lil while, until they sort out the issues with a new revision of the chipset.

    A 15.4" laptop for gaming

    The same thing could be said about the 14.1" W3J. Obviously people are still buying 15.4" laptops despite of the fact that the currently best graphics option for the 15.4" class, the X1600, is available on a 14.1" model. Besides, the 17" class of notebooks still has the GTX.

    A 15.4" laptop for gaming

    Any idea if there's a 7900GS-equiped 15.4" laptop coming? I heard that the 7900GS consumes "only" 20W compared to the X1600's 16W. I mean if ASUS can get the X1600 into a 14.1" model (I'm speaking of the W3J of course) why can't anyone put the GS into a 15.4" model?

    Logitech G5 left mouse button failing

Everything was ok until I encountered a situation where I wanted to just hold down the left mouse button of my G5 and spray - it would not. Only a single shot fired. It is as if they changed all guns...

    Document scanner with auto-feed

    This looks pretty nice, and the reviews are fairly assuring. However, I have one more question: What makes a dedicated scanner like the Fujitsu suggested "better" than, say, a HP OfficeJet 7210, which seems to boast equal if not better scanning specs?

    Christmas Came Early

    I have seen the specs, but it is kinda hard to judge portability just from numbers. I am mainly interested in how the flat shape of the unit affect portability. How hard would it be to carry this thing to, say, my car, without scratching the screen?
