    Sapphire 5870 - My thoughts and impressions

    How does it perform in eyefinity? Can one 5870 run 3 1920*1080 moitors with respectable FPS or is this all but a gimmick without XFire or the more poweful x2 cards?

    ASUS MAXIMUS III Formula Review

    As the sisterboard uses a 1xPCI slot doesn't this mean your graphics are always going to be limited to 8x?

    While we wait for Eyefinity...

    ...Can folks start posting up some bezel widths for their monitors? Another thing to make choices harder :p Also if OCUK could add these to the product descriptions that would be pretty great too.

    Discussion On The ATI Radeon 5*** Series Before They Have Been Released Thread

    Triple monitor is not the same as HD Projector. I've got the projector my mate has TH2G. I'll summarise. Projector is frickin sweet however it does have drawbacks. You already spend too much time inside on the PC, now your closing the curtains 24/7. Small children will ask "what's wrong with...

    Discussion On The ATI Radeon 5*** Series Before They Have Been Released Thread

    Will a 5870 produce decent FPS at 5040x1050 or will you require 5870x2 or Xfire 5870?

    Triple Monitor Setup

    I've been considering this myself lately, was thinking 3 of those lovely 22" dells with triplehead2go at max rez but videos on youtube show FPS on crysis of about 20-30 with a 295 plugged in. Anyone have any idea what would be needed to get decent FPS out of it? 2x 275/85?

    VR Headsets

    Well i've got an HD projector and that's pretty nice, but in an effort to jack into the matrix I am seeking more immersive toys (for Arma2 :p). Considering how common place motion controllers are now it seems strange the limits of interactive hardware in the mainstream is stereoscopic glasses...

    Is that with WC in or just full stop won't fit in one, would be a shame if so as I fancy both :(

    *OVERCLOCKED* Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz @ 4.00GHz Bundle

    Is now listed with OCZ Gold memory I'm sure whatever it comes with it'll be the stuff giving the best results but which is it? Whichever way you go its prob best to update the picture or text to match what's shipping, you know how people are. PS have you tried modding the fan to better...

    Asus P6T Deluxe v2

    OK so apparently no news as to why a v2 from ASUS, SAS controller is removed, and v1 that were in stock removed from site completely. I was going to use one, is there something I should know?

    SC or OB sound

    Building a new rig and the one thing ill be carrying over is my Megaworks 5.1 Speakers. V.nice speakers but not 7.1 :/ I'm planning on using a P6T mb and two 4890's in XFire so if I do use a SC its not only got to fit but also not melt. Any suggestions?

    crossfired 4770's??? worth it?

    I hate trying to decode opinion, hardware reviews and just my general nubery when it comes to these things but wtf. This Review of recent GFX cards shows SLI, or XFire obliterating most single card options, especially at 1920*1200 with a ~30 FPS lead. Would you still choose a single <=£350...

    R/W Speeds

    Anyone have a rough idea how hard drives compare in read speeds. Specifically say two WD caviar blacks in RAID 0 vs an SSD vs two SSD in RAID 0. Im basically trying to figure out whether its worth making the plunge with my new system or whether I can save a few quid while I wait for the new...

    Which cards are you going for? I was looking at the BFG GTX 260's for SLi but the 275's were only £20 more

    Gaming Rigs

    Well initially I was interested in just how cheap you could get a decent gaming rig for, however having looked at the other spec threads and got my initial load out down in price a bit i'm quite happy with my budget. This is what i've got sitting in my basket now Some final questions...

    Gaming Rigs

    DVD's are p.dead in my mind, I just switch HD's in an external caddy to back stuff up. But while were on the subject of storage, fast access times are important to me but i've heard nothing but ill talk of SSD drives currently but yet all the specs I see are only using a single 1TB drive as...

    Gaming Rigs

    Its time for a treat after many years in education and now actually having some money to spend. My seven year old, beige monstrosity mocks me with a faint aroma of ozone from the corner so while i'd like to have a really nice new rig I must ask, just how much do you need to spend? Crysis with...
