I arrived Monday morning and there was Fata1ty staring at me… I though, “John Wendel, don’t you even knock anymore.”
I’m glad he doesn’t. This is the most insane 8800 GTS ever released. I can’t imagine anyone trying to compete with it. It challenges the likes of its big brother, the 8800 GTX and even beats it in a couple of the benchmarks. Click here to read more
I’ll keep this short… The game play is incredibly smooth. I tested it with my Diamond Radeon HD 2900 XT with 1GB GDDR4. I get an even 60 fps at 1680×1050 (everything at max).
I am having a blast with the demo. I will post some more videos and scores after I install my physx card from Ageia. Here’s some footage of the two deathmatch levels:

Halo 3 is out and the blog reports are in: The game is fantastic, the packaging…not so much. This is because the Special limited Edition box sets designed for die-hard fans are scratching the game discs. Though this doesn’t appear to stop people from playing the game, it’s a snafu that Microsoft could have lived without.

Microsoft will have to send out replacement parts for Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel after 50 or so cases where the video game controller overheated and released smoke when plugged in. The steering wheel-like controller mimics the real world sensations associated with driving—wheel tension while taking turns, vibrations from road bumps and terrain inconstancies, etc.
That driving action on your XBOX 360 may get a little interruptus while you ensure to swap out your AC Adapter for a new one, courtesy of Microsoft. Until that time, owners are warned to not use the AC adapter but instead use only the batteries, which at this time is deemed safe.
The report states that this has been announced following a very small number of incidents of a malfunction in the device, in which a component in the wheel chassis may overheat and release smoke when the AC/DC power supply is used to charge the wheel.
When ever I see a Fed-Ex truck I instinctively run outside. The rules are simple: If there’s nothing for me, there’s going to be trouble.
There was no need for trouble this time. He handed me a package containing the Black Edition CPU from AMD.
It’s fast. That could have been the end of the article but I’ll give you a little more.
Redefine your gaming reality with the BFG NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 GTS OC™ Water Cooled Edition 640MB PCI Express® graphics card featuring the world’s first DirectX® 10 GPU and 8800 series water block.
With PC enthusiasts in mind, BFG and Danger Den co-developed this custom copper water block to feature exceptional thermal performance in a single slot design that frees up valuable space for other add-in cards. This replaces the standard double slot 8800 GTS fan for those who currently own or are purchasing a PC water cooling system. Each card is hand-built by a trained BFG technician with Arctic Silver® thermal compound and includes 1/2â€, 3/8†and 1/4†fittings (barbs) allowing you to custom tailor it to your water cooling needs.
I’m going to build my own computer with the 680i motherboard, but I’m not yet sure which one to go with :).
I’ve seen some of the Tiger Direct videos and during the review of the 680I SE, it was mentioned that the SE version was “optimized” for the core 2 duo. I would be using the E6700. It was also mentioned that the SE has a 1066 FSB, whereas the LT (cheaper as well) is using the 1333 FSB. Of course the LT does not include the extra pci e slot and extra gigabit (what else?)
EVGA is notorious for its overclocking capabilities, but is it simple? Seeing as its an NVIDIA motherboard, will I be able to use Ntune or should I get into the BIOS way of doing it?

So we’ve put together a blog post with two video reviews about some really swell graphics cards. Whether you’re an AMD acolyte or an Intel zealot, we’ve got the DirectX 10 capable good stuff for you. Read on!
