    I will be leaving TPU!

    Well, almost everyone here enjoyed your reviews, we all will miss them. But I don't think you made a bad decision because, well... I wouldn't like to use my entire life doing reviews. Best wishes from your unknown known.

    SDD or HighPoint RocketRAID 640 ?

    The Imation SSD stutters. The Patriot thing uses a Phison controler, that i've never heard about... And I don't think the Pci-e thing will give you any noticeable increase in performance. By the way, if you can afford this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167016, it...

    TPU could add min values to the game graphs, as they often tell you if it is playable, barely playable, unplayable, etc.

    Good deal on this SSD?

    The controller is from Indilinx, so yes, it is a good drive.

    OCZ Preparing USB 3.0 External SSD

    I was wondering how much it would take to someone do it, cause, as far I know, USB 3 is faster than SATA 2. I wonder if latency will be affected

    HIS Radeon HD 5770 1 GB

    Wizz~ I think you should put the min FPs in the graphs too, like xBit do. It would be a nice add 'cause it can show if the game is playable or not.

    5970 Hemlock First Benchmarks

    So why ATI made the Rv700 with two GPUs instead of a single 512mm² die? I am not disagreeing with you, it is not a rhetorical question, I just want to know :) EDIT: Oh, just saw the FordGT post, yeah, probably because it would be freaking hot

    Nvidia kills GTX285, GTX275, GTX260

    A 40nm wafer costs more than a 55nm, so Cypress costs a bit more to produce than Rv770, but probably much less than 2x Rv770 About Fermi, dunno, I'm really confident about this chip, think it's going to be much faster than current chips. And I think it's performance per mm² will be at least...

    Sapphire HD 5870 Vapor-X Spotted

    Looks much better than the reference (not that it is ugly). There is a contest to win it, too bad it is only for UK : (

    ATI HD5XXX Series Discussion

    I were expecting much more from this card, I thought it was at least as fast as the HD 4870 X2, like it was with HD 4870 x HD 3870 X2. Of course it was an improvement in power, but you must remember that it is 40nm vs. 55nm, unlike HD 4870, that was 55nm x 55nm Edit:; Well, there must be...

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 and HD 5850 Smile for the Camera

    Oh god, stop saying "it would be much better with more bandwidht", "BIG CHIPS NEED BIG BANDWIDHT" or " MOAR BITS IS FOR THE WIN". No one here knows how more bandwidht would affect the performance. Also, ATI engineers are not dumb, they built the chip, they know how much bandwidht the chip...

    NVIDIA GT216 Specifications Trickle-In

    GT216: - More shader power than 8800GTX with the same architeture, but more SPs - Less die size (because 40nm) - But less bandwidht They are using more die size to put more useless shaders?! Even with GDDR5, it would have the SAME bandwidht as the 8800GTX, but with much more Shader Power...

    Brazil... What can I do if I have a poor english? : P

    NVIDIA GT216 Specifications Trickle-In

    Yeah, with GDDR5, at 3600Mhz it would has 86,5Gb/s. Then I think would be at least almost enough. But if it has more shaders then the G80-GTX, probably it will request more bandwidth. (Why they would do a more powerful shader gpu that is weak because have less texture power?)
