Semi-Complicated MacBook Pro Memory Upgrade

I just purchased a 2012 Macbook Pro that comes with 4GB of 1600MHz memory. It's the lower end 13.3" Non-Retina model with a 2.5GHz Ivy Bridge i5, and intel HD 4000 graphics, which I mention in case the mobos are different between certain models. I have a spare 2x8GB kit around that runs at...

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

Well if this claim to be better than PC is inclusive of the OS, judging by the way Windows 8 is sooooooooooooo intuitive, I think it's already won! :whiste: I hope the PS4 actually blows ALL the current PC's away. I hope it outbenchmarks a PC with 2 i7's and 2 4GB 7990's housed in a case made...

CCC vs In-Game: Graphic Enhancement Algorithms

Hey thanks for droppin in:) This topic seems better suited for the software category but I figured the best audience would be here since CCC/NCP is a software bundled with pretty much everything this sub-forum pertains to. The CCC has options, as you know, to adjust anti-aliasing...

Upgrading from HD6770 to GTX560Ti

I did test out a bunch of my games last night and the results are basically this: I can run all of my games at 50-70 fps with all settings in game and in CCC completely maxed out at 1920x1080. BUT there's two things... I absolutely can't touch super-sample anti-aliasing. I must keep it set to...

Upgrading from HD6770 to GTX560Ti

Hey everyone. Termie's right, I do have a fan near the CPU. I know it's not the best cooling solution out there, but I generally don't play games for a really long time in one sitting so I think it shouldn't overheat too much in there. So I went out and purchased the XFX7850, installed it and...

Will I be JUST SQUEAKING BY with my power supply if I get a 660 or 7850? Like if I'm putting my computer in danger with that PSU I'll have to bite the bullet and buy a better one. The problem is that I don't know other PSU's are different sizes; my case is pretty small and the power supply in...

Thanx a ton for all your quick replies :) OP has been updated with pictures to show PSU specs and roominess inside the case It seems I have a ton of room on the side of the GPU that does NOT have the outputs, but on the other hand it doesn't look like there's much room for a wider GPU

I'm looking for some advice about upgrading to a GTX560Ti from an HD6770. I don't really know a lot about how to interpret the different specs of the varying models of the 560...all I really know is that the 560 will be a significant upgrade. The thing I'm most worried about is the power...

Sony Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 Lagging

You're right dude, component will do 1080p. I've also used component on my Xbox with 1080p do I know where you're coming from on that point...not sure who I thought it could only do interlace. Kind of unrelated, but a large downside to component is that it only does 2 channel audio. The optical...

LCD is probably your best bet. LED generally has a much higher dynamic contrast ratio and faster response times, which is basically just better, more vibrant color and faster at displaying the frames. LED looks noticably more vibrant but LCD is damn vibrant as it is as long as you get a good...

Setting up PS3 for HD level gfx

Atomic_Playboy (and others) are right: Composite will only display 480. HDMI is needed for 1080p, no exceptions. Component cables (red, green, blue, and white, red for audio) will give you 1080i which is pretty close in quality to 1080p as far as the eye can see, however I have used component on...

I'm skeptical. First let me say I have much faith in the naughty dog crew, but still I'm skeptical. Mainly of the graphics. It says at the beginning of the trailer that it's footage from an actual ps3 but the graphics seem WAYYY too good for what the ps3's console specs can really deliver. (and...

For those who have played / beat Uncharted 2

Its not very fair to compare those games. COD and Halo are first person shooters and uncharted is a third person platformer/shooter. The MP is going to be a very different experience between the two categories and third person game controls are bound to be looser than first person. I thought...
