I think g80 is going to prove itself to be one of the longest lasting architectures. It just blows everything away right now.
The obvious are ofcourse the 9800/9700 pro; lets not forget the x850xt.
It isnt that antecs are bad psu's right? Ive always been told they are good quality. Its probably more due to the poor cooling than the capacitors themselves.
Furthermore supposedly the powerstream provides very stable current. So I would assume that means it has good caps.
Edit: I meant to add this to my last post. Wow it looks retarded replying to your own post.
Thanks ill check that link out , but im running a ocz powerstream 470 so im not sure it will help. Your right though my psu could easily be going bad I guess.
Lately my computer has been deciding whether or not it wants to boot. Once it boots all is fine and I can just leave it on. However if for any reason I have to shut it down/it crashes its a damn struggle to get it to boot up again. First thought that went through my head was dust buildup (this...
Im having a pretty similar problem my computer seems to decide whether or not it wants to turn on anymore. Usually this is a symptom of dust buildup blocking electrical contacts (has been in the past for me). At this point im pretty sure its not dust though. I checked the power cords. Sprayed in...
Yah it pisses me off when usb keyboards wont work. I think they should all come with backup ps/2. Whenever everything wont work and you want to fix it yourself you nee
d to go find 10 components you dont have/are hard to get anymore.
Anyhow ive been having strange problems lately where...
How long has the 7800 series been out? I think ive got a year and a half out of my 7800gt and really I can still run almost anything at almost highest settings. I bet I could get about 2 years out of it.
I dunno if I can wait another month. As soon as 8800gts 320mb comes out im buying some sort of new vid card one way or another. If x2k series becomes the bang for the buck item ill sell the gts, no biggie.
Definitely depends on the card. Some cards unlock pixel pipes, can be volt modded, or are clocked low to begin with. Such cards see tangible increases when overclocked properly.
I the 6150 is definitely a downgrade , but not as bad as im making it sound. 6150 is still pretty recent for integrated. Realistically I wouldnt expect to run any games on anything higher than low/lowest that were released after ~2000-2002. With that said theres alot of great games that arent...
Imo your almost bang on as far as bang for buck method. Instead though I always by mid-highend as opposed to mid or ultra highend. Ultra highend deprecciates like crazy within a few months. Mid high is usually at least 85%-90% of the highest end performance for 1/2 to 2/3 as much. To top it off...
Problem is the 7800gt is getting to the point where it wont play games acceptably imo. I have one clocked very similar to his with a similar overall setup and I just cant run Company of Heroes like id like to. Im getting tired of waiting so once the 8800gts 320mb comes out im making a decision.
