    Are TN panels as bad as they used to be?

    Currently considering moving to a 144+ he monitor. I’m coming from an ASUS 60hz IPS monitor. I’m wondering if TN’s have improved their color reproduction in the last 7-10 years and it wouldn’t be as noticeable if a switch, or if I should exclusively consider another IPS. Thanks

    Radeon R9 290 only fully clocks after restart

    Hi all, Has anyone had this problem before? My Radeon R9 290 doesn't like to fully clock until after a restart of the computer. Booting up a game my GPU will generally clock at between 500-700 MHz. Only after restarting my computer and booting up the same or a different game will the GPU run at...

    Started with Pyle T-Amp, looking to upgrade

    Greetings, I am currently running a couple cheap Sony shelf system stereo speakers connected to a Pyle 30watt T-Amp. It was super easy to set up and works like a charm. However, I'm looking to get a little more punch out of my set up. The amp does not have a subwoofer port, and I don't want to...

    Need some help on a soundcard/headphone combo before Quakecon!

    Quakecon is coming up in just a few short days so of course my beloved Turtle Beach HPA2's that I've had for over 6 years now have decided to start crapping out. These had individual drivers in each cup to provide a "true" 5.1 surround sound. How "true" that actually was, I don't really care...

    Thinking AMD Build

    Hi guys, Well the last time I built a computer was almost 5 years ago. When I built it I wanted an Intel processor because they were the best. So I got one. However, because I was on a budget I had to sacrifice and spend less on a motherboard (cheap Biostar motherboard :hurl: ) Anyway, I learned...

    Palit Radeon HD3850 Super Review?

    Hey guys, I just won a Palit Radeon HD3850 Super 512MB DDR2 graphics card at Quakecon. I'm looking for some reviews on it, because I'm not sure about DDR2.

    Nvidia image quality

    Hey guys, My brother is on a trip, and let me borrow one of his 8800 Ultras. Now I come from an ATI X1950Pro, and I've already noticed that the 2D image quality on ATI was much better. (at least, default settings). Everything seemed much more "crisp" on my ATI card. Does anybody have any...

    What's a better purchase?

    So... What do you guys think's a better purchase? An 8800Ultra (for $800) or an 2900XT (for $400). Obviously, the Ultra has better performance, but comes at quite a hefty price for just being an over clocked card. On the other hand, you have the more power hungry and louder 2900XT, but for only...
