Everyone is a Critic...

I hardly ever post on here, but this debate is getting really old. I don't think that it's a question of are the games any good, it's a question of what is being done to innovate in the PC market and move technology and gameplay forward. People are tired of seeing the same poorly optimized game...

Overclocking advise needed, first timer

I'm sure this has come up before but I'm having trouble getting a clear answer. I've never overclocked a video card before as with all my other cards it would have voided the warranty. I just got a reference XFX 5850 (upgraded from a 7950GX2) and am wondering what I should do to overclock it...

CPU/mobo upgrade

Thanks for all the feedback, I will have to take another look at Fry's. I guess I was reluctant because I used to work there, and know how their sales practices go. That was years ago though. My main concern was not being able to find something in my cost range that would outperform what I...

CPU/mobo upgrade

My understanding of the 5830 is that it is overpriced for the performance it gives, not being much better than the 5770. wouldn't the 5850 be a little better as far as future proofing? Thanks for the recomendation mfenn, I've had bad experiences with MSI in the past, but that price looks...

CPU/mobo upgrade

Sorry, should have been more specific. I suppose I may be able to go as high as 300 but the cheaper the better. Platform doesn't matter, I'm guessing in my price range I am going to end up going AMD. Video Card : 7950GX2 (planning to upgrade to 5850 within a few months) Memory : 4GB Corsair...

CPU/mobo upgrade

My machine is starting to show it's age and I'm looking for an inexpensive upgrade (if possible). Currently I am running a Conroe E6600 and Intel S975XBX2 board. They are both engineering samples and I have never been able to overclock them successfully. Are there any good options for CPU...

5850 buy now or wait?

Sorry if this question has been asked already. I am in the market for a 5850 but with nvidia just launching Fermi I'm wondering if I should wait a month or two to make the plunge. Is the thought that prices will start dropping soon, or have things pretty much stabilized? Also does anyone...

Where is my Bottleneck ???

Thanks for all the feedback. The Processor is an ES but all the ones we received were unlocked. I did try to over clock the CPU when I first set up my computer, but any increase in the multiplier or voltage made the system stop posting. The other people at my work who were testing these same...
