In the hunt for a new Gaming monitor

I use 1920x1080 on my 60 inch TV. If you got that resolution it shouldn't matter too much about screen size. You might get some debate over 60hz vs 120hz but i think that is mostly personal preference. I agree unless you are getting problems with the display in terms of dead pixels or...

Though now thinking about it i would think the increased bandwidth would do the 7990 (since its a dual GPU card) good.

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/49646-amd-radeon-hd-7970-3gb-review-21.html PCI-E 3 might be faster but apparently the 7970 does not utilise it.

So if i had crossfire 7990s in mind what do you think i would be looking at in terms of actual build? Obviously i would be looking at a mono with 2 16x PCI-E slots (most probably pci-e 2 cause 3 doesn't seem to hold any advantage). 8gb 1600mhz ram - probably corsair vengeance GPU - 1x...

might scale down the ram a bit, looking at vengeance 2x4, easy to upgrade to more later. i think I'm going to wait for the 7990 and IF nvidia have made a release i'll decide, else i'll go with the 7990. The 7990 is out in march i believe. I would like to be able to run crossfire 7990s at a...

Building 1100 build for 2012

The 6950 is a good GPU, for that price bracket i'd say you cant get much better.

Building 1100 build for 2012

Good build so far. Did you consider getting a blu-ray drive? might come in handy. You have picked a very popular MOBO, shouldnt be able to go wrong with it. If you are doing SSD caching and want to cut back on prices you could lose it. Caviar is a good choice, a bit small for my...

In the hunt for a new Gaming monitor

The size of the monitor matters less than the output resolution you are playing at, however a lower resolution looks better on a smaller monitor. The smaller the monitor the less pixels on the screen. So in regards to if the size of the monitor effects FPS you need to consider what...

Kepler/IB wait discussion

I suppose so, im in australia btw so summer is now ;), but in all seriousness the only reason i am even considering buying a new one now is because i lost my pc with the floods here in brisbane recently. With all the delicious games coming out/sitting on my shelf it'll take some self control to...

My first pc build. Need some thoughts about it.

i dont know what your budget is but for about $30 here in australia you could upgrade to the i5 2500K. I would strongly suggest that because it is a brillinat CPU, in my opinion the best current gaming CPU because it can be overclocked upwards of 4.5ghz. Just a quick suggestion. I assume you...

Kepler/IB wait discussion

Ok, building a new pc. Info in another thread but i figured it might get a little off topic. I am having difficulties deciding if i should wait for kepler/IB/7990 or just go ahead and get a 7970 and a 2500k. Cause this is intels "tick" cycle as such IB wont be that huge of an increase over...

New PC Guidance

I read somewhere that kepler was coming in april with the ivy bridges? perhaps just a flicker of hope in my eye ;) I found a deal with the PSU so its the same price as a 850W so i figured why not. The ram was because I do a fair bit of video work and 3D rendering and modelling. You bet ya...

also am i right in guessing that the optional 200mm fan will be taken up with the H100's radiator? meaning that all fan slots are in use? Sorry, just realised this was in the software section. Could a mod please delete this?
