    AMD APU anyone?

    Has anyone here built using an apu? I've done all kinds of crazy builds but non ever for any specific budget so I've yet to delve into the apu market. With the emergence of htpc and for builds requiring a small footprint it seems an apu does a good job. I realize anything better than I3 will...

    Official AMD Radeon HD Graphics Cards Thread

    So here it is, the official AMD Radeon Thread. I took a bit longer to create this thread because AMD has a numbering scheme that's a tad more convoluted than Nvidia. The current line of cards is the 7xxx series. Their top of the line card begins with the 7990, a single card design with dual...

    Recent Steam buys

    Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - So far this is an awesome platformer with immersive graphics, an interesting control scheme, and great soundtrack. I am glad the game is fairly forgiving on deaths and quickly starts you at the most recent save point--I have missed more than a few jumps...

    Graphics Aside,How Do You Compare Todat's Games With Those From The SNES Era?

    I've come to find that a lot of today's games are too focused on graphics and soundtracks.I also think that today's titles overdo it when it comes to features.I just feel that more thought was put into the storyline and playability of retro titles without jamming everything up overdoing it on...

    PC Gamers -- Quality or Performance?

    When setting up graphics settings for your games, do you prefer graphics quality, or gaming performance? Would you rather have a high FPS count all the time, or take a framerate hit to bring up the eyecandy? Sure, people have good enough computers to do both, but if you could only pick one...
