It's surprising to see a Vega 56 beating a GTX 1080 @ 1440p and 2160P on an Nvidia sponsored title.
I created a Discord Hard Gaming Community server for all [H]ard Forum members to use.

The RX 480 vs. GTX 1060 vs. GTX 980 Overclocked Showdown - BabelTechReviews
Looks like the 980 is the winner with the 1060 a close second and the 480 the slowest. Their 480 was only boosting to 1350 core but...

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/70075-nvidia-gtx-950-review-feat-evga.html
It's slower then the GTX 960 and the R9 380, but faster than the GTX 750 Ti and R7 370.

I got the season pass for Ghosts so my friends I play with can stop nagging me about having to play the stock maps only.
We've been having a blast with me hosting a private server...
Just wondering if anybody is interested in Playing Call of Duty Ghosts on Wednesday nights at 7PM Pacific time?
About 4 of us play and we're looking for some more human players.
You can shoot me a PM or post your Steam ID so I can add you to my Steam friends list. My Steam ID is Nuby1Canuby_OFC...
Hardware Canucks has a Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X OC review up today: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/66491-sapphire-r9-290-vapor-x-oc-review.html
They got an overclock of 1380 on the core!!
I see now HC says 1380 was a typo that it should have been 1280. Still...
HardwareCanucks has an interesting review where they looked at a GTX Titan versus SLI and Crossfire with frame time testing included.
Basically they are looking for any frames that take over 40 ms (25 FPS), by looking at all rendered frames in FRAPS.
The Titan does a good job rendering...
The new base clocks will be 850 MHz with a boost to 925 MHz.
The price is supposed to stay the same.
PCPerspective has a preview: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/AMD-Radeon-HD-7950-3GB-PowerTune-Boost-Review
Since the release of the game it is lagging the host of a public game so badly that it is unplayable at times.
For the rest of the people on the server the lag is intermittent.
As soon as you start hosting a public server your screen will start freezing, even if you are the only person on the...
I really enjoyed playing the PC version of GRID online with a few of my friends.
I don't think I'll buy another game from Codemasters, if they just shutdown the online play after a few years.

Hi all, I have an update...
Server admins please post your servers available for the [H]ard Gaming Community to use here.
Please try to keep your server information current.
This thread is only for the server list so please discuss the servers in the [H]ard Gaming Member Server Discussion thread...
Who has a game server that is available for [H]ard|Forum members to play on?
What are the details of your server?
I think it's time to get this [H]ard|Gaming Community off the ground by finding out what is already out there.
Eventually we can make separate threads that just contain the servers...
Any idea what would happen if both computers tried to access the monitor at the same time?

Finally somebody is making a card that doesn't need display port for Eyefinity.
Hopefully they'll add this support to the 5800 series cards.
This new "Flex" card is pretty unique in that it not only supports quad monitor setups but more importantly Eyefinity over DVI.

TweakTown has a review of the Sapphire 5970 4GB. Stock clocks are 900 core and 4800 memory. It includes an active DP to DVI adapter, Dirt 2 and CoDMW2. They compared it to a stock 5970 2GB, 470 and 480.
Unfortunately they didn't compare it to the stock 2GB 5970 in any Eyefinity...

I'm trying to decide which to upgrade to. I'll be running my Q6600 at stock speeds while it is still under the 2 year warranty. I have no plans to upgrade my 22" LCD for the next few years which has a max resolution of 1680x1050. My power supply is a 485 watt Enermax EG495P-VE(18A on 12V1 and 2...

Oops, I just saw the thread on a previous page...
From what I've seen I suspect that a 30 player full multiplayer server, would be more stressful then single player, when a lot of opponents are in a firefight together.
Since some of the guns fire 1200 rounds per minute, this equals 20 rounds per second or 1 round every 50 milliseconds. Does...
