DrPepper · Dec 6, 2010, 03:45 PM

For me it has to be the filthy HD pictures of hardware and the witty banter.

AthlonX2 · Dec 6, 2010, 03:46 PM

TPU is like underwear that you have had on for a couple days and you dont want to change them because there so cozy and warm,and you hate the feeling of the cold clean underwear,so you just stay inside the same ones for a couple weeks.

pr@$r1g · Dec 6, 2010, 03:51 PM

I love TechPowerUp because it keeps me up to date with everything tech.

Kiji · Dec 6, 2010, 03:53 PM

The best place to keep up with the latest hardware related news, and the best reviews.

t77snapshot · Dec 6, 2010, 03:56 PM

t77snapshot is addicted to TPU because of the awesome friends I have made, w1z's amazing reviews, the everyday tech news from bta, gotta give shouts out to my WCG crunchers

and the mods for doing their job with great honor and respect. Before I discovered this site I didn't know jack about computers and now I am thankful for all the support and help over the past 2 years from all you guys, thanks.

scope54 · Dec 6, 2010, 03:56 PM

I visit TPU everyday because:
it's fast
it's unbiased
it's reliable
it's fresh
and finally it's honest. Simply best in the business.

H82LUZ73 · Dec 6, 2010, 04:06 PM

I visit TPU because of the odd mods,reviews,Tatty Ones Avatar right now damn....Most of all one of the few site were the red team gets along with the green and no one acts like a........Also you guys put up with me

Gzero · Dec 6, 2010, 04:07 PM

Because TPU has been here for so long now

freaksavior · Dec 6, 2010, 04:08 PM

i haz techpowersup bc of da awsom mods an teh lolz catz

in all seriousness, I love techpowerup as it is where I learned most of the computer stuff I know now. the mods are awesome and we all love the lolz cats. But it is a community I do not have to really worry about being flamed (except on mac stuff, shame on you for flaming me.) Always new reviews, always someone to help out.

Enough lol cats

NinjaCool · Dec 6, 2010, 04:11 PM

Because I find it is a great source of hardware news and contains a helpful community

Footman · Dec 6, 2010, 04:12 PM

I've followed Wizzard from the very beginning of TechPowerUp and before. Your GPU reviews are in my opinion the best, I really appreciate the performance details at all the resolutions as well as subjective noise levels. makes choosing my next video card easier. GPU-Z is a must for me during benchmarking, I visit TechPowerUp every day and when I have posted technical questions in the forums I invariably get answered quickly. Nice work guys. Any chance I can snag a key for 3D Mark 2011 now?
Cheers,
Footman.

Reeves-81 · Dec 6, 2010, 04:14 PM

Community, Up to date info, always something interesting.... Simply, Awesome!

Black Haru · Dec 6, 2010, 04:15 PM

I love TPU for not having the "holier than thou" atmosphere that seems to permeate the rest of the tech community.

ooiman92 · Dec 6, 2010, 04:18 PM

It's full of information and keeps me up to date

Easy Rhino · Dec 6, 2010, 04:27 PM

It's great!

christian27 · Dec 6, 2010, 04:34 PM

techPowerUp like me that has the best reviews of hardware , and the best software (GPUZ,GPUTOOL,rbe,etc)

cytrus · Dec 6, 2010, 04:35 PM

I visit TechPowerUp daily. I call it the hub of power. More precisely - TechPowerHub.
Fresh. Cool. Powerfully. So here I am.

Marineborn · Dec 6, 2010, 04:39 PM

i enjoy techpowerup, for the family, all my freinds are here, when i wake up in the morning its the first website i check either to see btanur's news or too see if someone needs help, when i get off work its the first website i check for the same reason, i love the atmosphere the people are great, and community is always exspanding its a great place to grow and learn knowledge. without techpowerup i wouldnt have met such wonderfull people.

you guys are like family to me

_JP_ · Dec 6, 2010, 04:39 PM

I suffer from TPUitis (Discovered by the TPU's Dr. Panchoman T.M.D.), a rare disease found only in this forum where one starts as a newcomer trying to get some shit solved and then is surrounded by a very good community determined to help. That helping feeling is soon transmitted to the newcomer and once he notices it, he can no longer get rid of it.

Ok, fine, I'll say something nice...I like it here because of the constant accurate first-hand tech news updates, great community, W1zzard's work (Reviews and Software) and that nobody banned me yet.

Best damn tech site in the Internets! Ignore all trolls who say otherwise.

mdbrotha03 · Dec 6, 2010, 04:49 PM

I love Techpowerup because you constantly update your site with new technology news. This allowed me to stay informed about computer hardware even while deployed to Afghanistan.
