    How many have now bought 980Ti because of Fury X release

    I picked up a 980Ti yesterday after the review embargo was lifted. It's my first shift to the green team since... Geforce 4! :eek: My feeling is that it will just be smoother at 4k, AMD may catch up with driver optimisations etc over the next 6 months but in the mean time I'll be enjoying my...

    Fury X vs 980ti

    I bought a 980Ti with my new rig yesterday. I looked at the Fury X reviews, and decided that the benefits weren't sufficient for the potential pitfalls of 1st generation tech. I looked at the 4k Parts of the Hexus review with great interest; they were stating that the Fury X stutters harder...

    What`s your memories of school dinners?

    Heh, School dinners were interesting... especially once we got to know the dinner lady in charge of puddings quite well... One particularly momentous day 3 of us each demolished more than 5 helpings of rice crispy syrup cake, with custard... having gone easy on the main meal. And we used to get...

    Spec Check

    No overclocking, so that's fine. As Surveyor below says, that means upgrading the motherboard which is all more cost. I'd quite like to keep it simple, as it'll be my mate doing the build. Good call on the BluRay, will look into what free software such as VLC can do, otherwise, will swap...

    Spec Check

    Hi Guys, I've been out of the hardware game a while, had a mate ask for a spec though. Can you give it the once over for me, perhaps suggest something that'll give better bang for buck. Primarily a gaming rig, but also able to take some multipurpose abuse, perhaps some 3DS Max, photo...

    Still not convinced by these SSD's

    To set a little background; we investigated SSDs for certain roles at work. Turns out they're not quite ready for what we wanted to do. So, on with the testing, but this time more personal ;) OCZ Vertex2 Pro 100GB, "Enterprise" MLC SSD... This ran in my main rig at home for about 2 Months...

    Winter Is Coming - HBO's A Game of Thrones [READ WARNING]

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227759/ I thought he was pretty decent in Threshold, and he's popped up various places ever since, always injects some good character :)

    ***The Official Gran Turismo 5 Thread***

    I could use one too; Will see if I've got anything of interest after this race... seems you can't view your garage on the web page :s Edit: Caterham Firebird 02? Pug 205? Mitsu CZ-3 Tarmac? Haven't really bought a lot of cars; so only really got what I've won, which i presume you'll already...

    HTPC + Onkyo 875, no sub in Winamp?

    Can I suggest you try All Channel Stereo, or Neo/Dolby Music Presets, and see if that works? Stereo is 2.0 only. Multichannel will be 2.0 only - MP3s are only stereo. Direct & Pure are both unprocessed multichannel I believe. The other thing you can do, is look at how you can get Winamp to use...

    Any epic console games?

    Dragon Age is an awesome multi platform game, but you may have already played it on the PC.

    SSD - Doing it backwards?

    I've mostly got WoW in mind here, and eve, both benefit from SSD performance. I can't imagine that Call of Duty f/e would be much different than HDD though. Perhaps I'll just grab a 60GB one for dropping MMOs on, and give it a trial.

    SSD - Doing it backwards?

    Ok, so I've been considering SSDs more & more lately. Despite some bad experiences with them at work, they just won't seem to go away. Something that really bugs me with my F3, is that if I'm doing something I/O intensive, the entire PC responds sluggishly. With a 500GB F3, I've used around...

    OCZ Vertex2 Pro 200GB - Failure... x2

    I think thats what we'll do. They were bought from a major UK etailer, and I think all 3 of the SSDs are going back... we cant rely on them, and whilst failures are expected and tolerated, when 3/3 devices show signs of failure its entirely unacceptable :(
