What's the benefit of using hibernate over power off? I tend to shut all my devices down now that they all use SSDs.

Just like this thread! :)

Happy birthday Perris, here's to the next 109 years!

I went for the Ti in the end - I got the Asus one but from Amazon, for £167. Seems like a pretty good deal. I can't wait to try this bad boy out when it arrives! I might finally get to play Witcher 2 :)

Cheers for the info Lee. Turns out you're right, the GPU is a big bottleneck so I'm going to upgrade that too. I just don't know which to get, the GTX 560 or the GTX 560 Ti - I just can't decide! On ebuyer, the 560 is about £140 and the 560 Ti is £170. Is it worth the extra £30?

Cheers Johnny. Six-core processor would be pretty sweet. I've always aimed for the price/performance sweetspot but one day I'd love to build an absolute MOFO of a computer :)

Happy new year everyone, sorry I've been away so long.

Hi guys, I must apologise to you and to computers in general. I have been neglecting my PC gaming recently in favour of my PS3, but alas it's that time again when my console is being left way behind PC gaming and so it's time to get back to PC gaming. I also picked up a copy of the Witcher 2...

I hear 3Dfx are making a return to the market. Their next one is supposed to be slower (but with anti-aliasing!) :)

Sorry if that came across rude Johnny, I wasn't saying "of course the latest GPU is going to be the fastest" to you, although upon re-reading my comment is may have looked that way. I actually meant that to be addressed to these foolish marketing campaigns that always promote the latest product...

Yeah, of course the latest GPU is going to be the fastest, it's part of Moore's law. :)

Hey nice sig! Now that you've called me by name... BOOM!

Graphics chip manufacturer NVIDIA has unveiled what it claims is the 'world's fastest' graphics card with the GeForce GTX 580 GPU. The new GeForce GTX 580 is NVIDIA's latest and greatest GPU, superceding the GTX 480 that was released in March of this year. NVIDIA also claims that the GTX 580...

Yeah that's true - it was only one game so maybe others are better but the racing game at Eurogamer was having real trouble with people's movements.
