lol I hate the term HD. It just causes confusion anyway. EVERY game on PC has been HD as long as it could run at 1024x768 or higher.
To say that one card is HD and the other isn't would be like saying one of the video cards can only run at 320x240 resolution while the other goes to 1920 or...
I really only played WoW when it was brand new and got sick of it after about a year. So, I don't know any of the options anymore. If you can use directx 9 or 11 either of them will perform better than 10. Directx 9 should perform the best but I have noticed on my new GTX570 that isn't always...
How can I tell if my GTX 570's GPU is idle?
My PC has really become a beast in the past week (new hardware). I would really like to use my PC for more tasks and the tasks in mind involve a couple tuner cards and video encoding for media center purposes. I don't want to use CUDA or anything...
What frequency should I expect to get this processor to? I'm going to buy a new HSF since I'm using the stock right now. Basically the thing runs 4.2GHz no problem already and I can't imagine what it will do with more cooling.
I'm really impressed by the MSI board I have with the i5-2500k. Honestly even with the intel glitch uncovered I'm more happy with this board than any I have ever bought in the past. I played with all the features including the single press of a button "OC Genie." I was totally impressed it...
I agree that the motherboards should be replaced at customer requests however I wouldn't be opposed to the offering of a SATA card in place of a motherboard replacement.
People like me don't have a free PCI slot to use and some of these boards don't even have any other PCI slots. That only...
I read a lot and that's why I'll be taking care of the "muck" in my pond myself. The aeration I plan on supplying should be more than enough. There are quite a few options like this http://www.lakeweeds.eventwebsitebuilder.com/MuckDigester.html that are used for pond/lake maintenance or...

I was thinking about something like this. Although I think this company is charging out the whazoo for this sytem. I think something like this would be ideal for me.
The health department said they would do a test for $40. Right now the pond's top is froze over and I'm just in planning phases. Once it warms up enough that all the snow has melted that will be when I start my projects.
Part of my projects will involve an electric agitator. It isn't pretty (like a fountain) but constantly stirs the water. I also will be installing a windmill. Both will help aeration but obviously the wind will be variable. There is helpful bacteria I can introduce into the pond once...
Where I am people do what I'm doing for water or have water shipped in. Basically my pond is only filled with rain water. The wells around here are full of sulfur and so much so it's impossible to treat.
Originally before this house was built they did use a well. It was very slow recovery...
UV is definitely one way to kill bacteria and clean the water. There is also an ionization process that can be done to clean the water. The real question is what is best, or best for me.
Haha, that was worth a laugh. No, I don't drink the water. There is no reason that with the proper system I can't. Right now I just have to shower with it. We drink and cook with bottled water and 5 gallon jugs.
Interesting title right? I'm a systems admin and I couldn't think of a better place to post this question :)
Well basically I just became a home owner in October. I have a nice little piece of property and a decent home. One problem I knew I was inheriting was the water system.
To sum...
Can anyone give me more information about Physx? I know there are ways of getting it to work with ATI or Nvidia cards as primary but I'm curious about my 9600GSO.
In Firefox just hit CTRL+F and type 5750 and you'll see you were the only one mentioning 5750's :)
So you think using that 9600GSO will slow down my setup for Physx? Are you saying to just not use Physx or that using Physx with just the GTX 570 would be faster?
I know I have seen a...
After re-reviewing all the 1680x1050 graphs in the 6970 6950 review I'm looking towards the GTX 570 as it wins the majority of the performance tests.
That also would allow me to run my small 9600GSO as a secondary card for Physx... hmmm That really has me thinking..
What do you guys think?
Turning the topic a bit would you go with a:
GTX 570
HD 6970
or
HD 6950
For my resolution I'm leaning towards the 6950.
I have my two 5770's listed on ebay for $149 and my old 4970 for $39 (starting bids with higher buy out). So if I sell these cards I should have around half already...
Part of my "Oopsies" was simply going with the 512mb 5770's. I should be right around the 5850 when you see most of Anand's performance charts but the problem is my lack of RAM is sometimes bumping me down below quite a bit. When RAM isn't a problem the games run great. For example Mass...
Currently I do have a 22 inch and personally I don't feel I need a higher resolution. Even with just 2 or 4 AA it's hard to notice any jaggies.
Because for the most part my performance is around a 5850, with the exception of a game that needs more vram, I won't buy anything less than a 6950...
Well the decision should be somewhat future-proof. As I said I'm leaning towards video card and if I go less than a 6970 then it will be a 6950.
If I do get a new monitor sometime in the future I don't want to have to immediately buy a new graphics card. The exception to that is when I buy...
I run into problems clocking the CPU any higher than 3.7. It's completely stable for 24 hours running prime 95 at the current clock but any higher and I have other cores fail.
I am a pretty big gamer and that Steam sale over Christmas didn't help. I play everything from the humble bundles up to Metro 2033 (I just name that game because it is the highest requirement game I believe I have).
I know that if I go with a processor upgrade I'll get better performance in...
Oh yea, good point. I run 1680x1050.
One thing for sure is my resolution is my current problem. I know that I'm running relatively low compared to Anand's benchmark tests (lowest resolution normally tested). Currently with 512MB Graphics Cards I have gotten quite a good use out of them but...
Please check out this post in the CPU section.

I apologize if I'm breaking a rule by doing this but my question is both CPU/GPU oriented and I wanted to make sure I had enthusiasts from both perspectives read my question.

Please don't clutter up the...
I'm interested in increasing my gaming performance.
Currently my setup is:
AMD Phenom II 555 X2 3.2GHz unlocked to X4 and at 3.7GHz
16GB GSkill Ripjaw DDR3 1333MHz
60GB OCZ Vertex SSD
2 Powercolor AMD 5770 (512MB) in Crossfire
Dynapower 750W 80 PLUS Bronze certified PS (Crossfire and...
