It still seems way too early to be talking about the PlayStation 4 and yet, rumored news continues to pop up everywhere. The latest is big, if it proves true: according to European source PS3Clan, it seems SCEI "has officially chosen" the technical setup for their next PlayStation iteration, which...

I work in Windows Vista and I want to build the fastest PC at any price. I never use it for gaming nor for 3D things... What's the fastest graphic board on the market for this use?

Hi Troops, I'm sorry I'm a little late but I just surfed NewEgg and saw the eVGA 7800GS 256-A8-N507 for $284 ( $289 - $15 mail-in rebate). I'm know that I should have waited for the more substantial price cuts but what the heck it's only money ;-)

Recently purchased a new video card (Colorful 6600GT) and after installing the card noticed that the fan wasn't running. Shut down, and reset the card into the AGP slot and tried again, still no joy. Noticed that there was nothing showing on the monitor. The card has a 4-pin power connector which...

So, I decided to buy a new videocard. Presently, I have an nVidia 7600GT. It plays a lot, if not most of the games of the past 2 years at the settings close to maximum. But I wanted to be able to play Crysis and the like. I was thinking about nVidia 8800GT. However, its length is 23 cm, and the...

I have a faulty ATi 9800 Pro which I have just received an RMA for. I originally intened to swap the card for a Nvidia 6800 GT. The excess is quite a lot, but I'm sick with dealing with ATI and the performance leap for games seems worth the extra outlay. Today, after researching which version of...
