It's all console propaganda.

Go to Megaton its west of the Vault I believe.

Then talk to the owner of the saloon... "Moriarty". He'll ask you to get some caps from some junkie in the wasteland. Or you can just convince him with speech. Either way, after that if it doesn't give you hints I would contact Bethesda support.

Blizzard without a doubt. Second probably Valve.Zoso-8

Valve... by far.

Blizzard doesn't come close. WoW is complete trash, not to mention that and Warcraft 3 are the only titles they've released since 2000. Valve has released quality games every year for the past 13 years.

Age of Empires 2

Fully liquid cooled Core I7 975 Extreme Edition quad sli 295 co op edition liquid cooled, x2 300gb Raptor drives in Raid 0, then x3 2tb Hard drives from WD, asus p6t v2, xfi titanium pciex1 sound card, custom painted blue/black i think it totaled $8,680 from digitalstormonline.com man they got awsome mod configs too bad I don't have the cash for that kind of system =(Hekynn

Just went to newegg or tigerdirect, looked at the most expensive parts at put them in your list with watercooled in the sentence. 3 2tb Harddrives? LMAO.

I love when these people come on here and try to act like they're some kind of video developer who needs all this HD space. Quad SLI... Really?!?! Unless your a professional doing it for benchmarking purposes that's completely and utterly stupid... not to mention pointless.

Sigh... nvidia officially stated that their 295 is 2x275 in SLI. And no matter are they on one board or not, you will experience the same problems with dual graphics cards as with SLI. Microstutter etc. So it is not. But you may be right if you get the jerkiest SLI board possible which runs in only 8x mode, maybe then.

What I meant to say is you're always better off buying a higher tier card then SLIing 2 lower ones. Simply because the performance will be better and the need for less cooling. Not to mention in my experience SLI is complete trash.

Dual ATI cards run like **** on many games like Crysis, Far Cry or Fear 2... especially on Vista.

In pretty much every game GTX285x2 will out perform a GTX295. How is it a better buy? ignoring price

Because the performance margin is extremely small. So spending twice as much for such a small increase is foolish... especially considering you dont need a GTX295 or even a GTX285 to play todays most demanding games.

Hey,

I read of a few forums that the SLI bridge connector is no longer needed so use SLI on newer cards. I have a GTX 280 and was going to buy a 2nd but from buying my first I know the cards do not come with the cable, my question is, is the adapter needed to use sli? Thanks.

The latest boards from EVGA like the Intel x58 support on-board 3-way SLI. So need for the bridge unless you would want to quad SLI... which is utterly stupid in my opnion.

But older boards from Gigabyte, ASUS, etc. usually come with just one PCI express slot... accompanied by a bridge or 2 if you want to SLI. Not as convenient as on-board capabilities but w/e.

No. GTX295 is two GTX275's on one board. So, only two 285's are actually faster than 295. Even though, two GTS250's are more than enough for serious gaming.

Actually no matter what 2 cards you run in SLI they won't be as good as one of a higher tier. Having 1 295 is better then 2 285's.

Guild Wars 2, Star Wars: TOR, Diablo 3, Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect 2.

when the 8800GT came out, there was a lot of talk about it. it was pretty much unanimously regarded as a very good card for the money. if you look at Valve's Steam hardware survey today, you can see the 8800GT is still the most used DX10 card.

what i'm wondering is, what made this card so popular? i would like to buy the 8800GT of the DX11 generation, but how will i know what card is it?

The GeForce 300 series is launching later this year. So if I had to guess I'd would say the GTX 360... if they make a 360 that is.
