    9800 GTX Fried (probably). Looking for a replacement.

    To be honest I really wasn't feeling limited by it, everything I threw at it ran just fine. Games like Skyrim and New Vegas run beautifully, but there is a significant drop in frames when I max out the settings. I think I'll upgrade to the 7770. Thanks everyone

    9800 GTX Fried (probably). Looking for a replacement.

    PSU is an OCZ. The display is now just black when I boot up the computer. I did try an older card that is also broken, but with a different issue, and the display works fine (for a short time and then the broken card overheats.) Not an ideal test, but I don't have a fully working card to try...

    Which Macbook?

    No @OP It really depends what you're going to be using it for. Each have their own advantages, I personally think the MBP is the best bang for the buck though. Always keep an eye on this before buying anything Apple; http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/

    Reasons why VISTA is an EPIC FAIL Operating System

    in my personal experience, and this is just me, i've run into more issues with windows 7 than i did with vista. for whatever reason steam doesn't like to play nice on my rig, i've had a ton of issues with steam and steam games both on vista and 7. @ speedy <--- you lost your Brian privileges

    i've never had a single issue with paypal.. of course there are going to be disputes here and there when you're dealing with electronic fund transferring. for what they do i think they do it pretty well.

    VGA and Win7 Resolution Issue

    Because I want to use the HDMI port on my TV for Blu-Ray, and it only has one. I figured running VGA would be no big deal with my size display.

    VGA and Win7 Resolution Issue

    So I have a 9800 GTX that runs a DVI to HDMI cable into a 20' LG HDTV. The native resolution of the TV is 1360x768. With this setup I have no issues with running the proper resolution. Now what I'm trying to do is run a VGA cable from the card to my TV, and this has introduced nothing but...

    The iPhone is coming to Verizon Wireless

    i know dude but i want one! ha it is unfortunate, but i think people make too much out of it. i can think of few situations where i would utilize that feature anyway. Verizon, at least in my area, is the best, most reliable carrier. about 95% of the people i know use Verizon, so it...

    Gaming mouse

    they both work essentially in the same way, however a laser mouse utilizes laser technology while an optical mouse uses LED. the laser encapsulates much higher resolution images, leading to more precise movement. also, because of the detail the laser is able to detect, laser mice generally...

    Gaming mouse

    if you're a serious gamer than invest in a laser mouse, don't even waste your time with optical. the G500 is a great mouse. i myself have owned its predecessor, the G5, for over 3 years now.. not a single complaint, fantastic mouse.
