Quiet card

I'd second the 5750. It is, I believe, the most powerful GPU that is currently available passively cooled. Just search the egg for 5750 and look for "silent" or "passive" in the titles.

WSJ: Nvidia Warns of Sales Shortfall

Now there's a point I wholeheartedly second. Because I'm looking for a notebook to be a second computer and, frankly, anything besides Optimus won't do for me - it will either be too slow, would die within (metaphorical) seconds of being unplugged from the wall (seriously - 2.5 hours?), or have...

Help a videocard noob out. Ati questions

As best as I can tell, the CCC's settings supersede those of the game. That is, only the CCC's settings will be used and nothing will be activated twice.

Trainz 2010 with Sapphire ati 5970 Smooth as

So, what exactly are you going to do with two cards meant essentially to push six displays each? Make a holodeck? Also, :rolleyes:

Astounding Year-to-Year Growth in PC Graphics

For 4 months. That's the point. In just a 9th of the time span (if PhysX is really 3 years old) it has more than a 5th of PhysX's working titles. With more to come.

Astounding Year-to-Year Growth in PC Graphics

First, what he meant was that (as he clearly said and you completely ignored), Radeon 5000-series beat or equal their nVidia competitors for performance AND are cheaper and less power-hungry AND have more features at each price point. All at the same time. The features was really the smallest...

Problems already in the new build

I'm hardly an expert, but here's a take. Keep in mind that "won't turn on" is one of the most difficult problems to diagnose. Is the heatsink properly installed on the cpu? Is the heatsink new out of the box and installed for the first time? If not, did you use thermal grease? Second, are...

Astounding Year-to-Year Growth in PC Graphics

So market share quarters are the same for everyone and NV's doesn't match their revenue quarter. Am I getting this right this time? Very confusing. I was wondering what the general purpose of using a different fiscal calendar was. Besides create a headache of reading financial information.

Asus Ares dual 5870 card

That would be a monster. How many 30" monitors do you have to be able to feed to need this?

Indeed. It went right by my eyeballs without registering in my brain. What does that do besides create confusion? Give a(n illusionary) bump to the figures of the slow season? Idiotic.

ATIC moves to buy out GlobalFoundries

I didn't know that. I guess we'll see if it'll be worth it soon. I still think GF was set up to take most of AMD's debt (incurred large part in fab upkeep, of course) and go down without taking AMD with it (unless they really get lucky with customers), but maybe the "ZOMG terrible arabs" have a...

ATIC moves to buy out GlobalFoundries

To sum up, the world is already one global village, [I tried to think of a non-insulting epithet for all you "patriots" and failed]. Practically everything you use, eat, wear and wipe your ass with includes another country somewhere in its production or supply line, and there's nothing you can...

For those of you lucky enough to have eyefinity...

I don't actually own an eyefinity system (or will any time soon), but from what I've read you can arrange your windows any way you like (including rotating them if you want) regardless of where you physically plugged them into the card..
