Has anyone been able to squeeze more juice out of their 4890? I've heard these are great for overclocking. What have 4890 owners been able to get their cards to? What's the procedure for getting a stable OC? Other than enabling fan control, I've never messed with the GPU or Memory Clock.
OK... I sent the Q9650 back. Now what I'm thinking is just overclocking my Q6600. I don't think going from a Q6600 at stock speeds to a Q9550 (Q9650 won't work in my mobo). I'm pretty sure I could squeeze more performance out of this Q6600. If I can, then it absolutley wouldn't make sense to...
Thanks for the help.
I'm going to send it back. Put the 4890 in my current system and see how much of a performance boost I get. If I need more power, I'll go with an i7. I don't want to screw with getting the Q9650 to work in my mobo.
I haven't got the CPU in yet. I don't see why it wouldn't work. I'll probably install it tomorrow. I still haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or send it back and go with the i7. I'm leaning towards keeping it.
The other day I ordered a Q9650 from Newegg to replace my Q6600. I should get it tomorrow. Anyway, I purchased it without doing any research. I was completely unaware of the Intel Core i7.
So now I'm thinking I should have purchased an i7 920 with a new motherboard and DDR3 memory. I can...
My son has a TV Tuner Card in his computer. Comcast made the switch to all digital last month and now he doesn't receive most channels. For example, Cartoon Network doesn't come in anymore. Do I need to get a box from Comcast to receive these channels? Why doesn't the Tuner Card inside his...
Yeah, I think I'm getting stutter while playing WoW at 1920x1200 with max video settings. So I think the extra memory would help.
Thanks for the suggestions, guys!
I'm having some problems with World of Warcraft. Every couple seconds or so I'll notice a short pause. I'm running the game maxed out at 1920x1200. I didn't notice this with my old 8800 GTX.
iTunes 8 doesn't seem to be performing as good as the previous version.
Also, the new Visualizer is really sweet but I'm getting intermittent pausing. Is anyone else getting this?
Here's what it says:

I'm using the 8.8 driver. I've seen this three or four times now. I just booted up my computer this morning and as soon as I got to the desktop this popped up.
I'm looking for a fast 300-500GB HDD. I don't want to spend the money on a VelociRaptor. I've already to a 74GB and 150GB Raptor but I need more space. What are some good performing drives that aren't going to break the bank?
So far I've got my eye on a 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11...
What's the best video converter for iPod Touch? I've tried Videora iPod Touch Converter and I'm not that impressed. I'd rather pay a few buck and not have to look at stupid ads. So are there any other recommendations?
Here's my new Lian Li PC-A77 with a Lian Li W-75B Clear Side Panel. I had to upgrade to a full tower due to the length of next gen video cards like the 4870 X2 and 280 GTX.

I've got the new Lian Li PC-A77 case. It comes with a Smart Fan Control. The controller has an HDD Led wire that is suppose to monitor HDD activity. However, it never changes. In other words, when I'm not using my HDD the little spinning disc is always spinning. The case also has another...
I just picked up a Lian Li PC-A77 to replace my Lian Li PC-60BPlusII. I ran out of room with the PC-60. The PC-A77 is one sweet case! I know it's over your price limit but in my opinion it's worth every penny. It's so nice having lots of room to work and not have to worry about a 4870 X2 not...
So your saying take the yellow wire from the controller and connect it to the white wire on the fans I just want to monitor RPM? This will keep the controller from controlling the RPM?
Thanks for the help.
I just picked up a brand new Lian Li PC-A77 Full Tower case. BTW, this case is SWEET! Anyway, it comes with a fan speed/temp controller.

This controller has one CPU temp sensor and two system temp sensors. It also has three wires for...
According to these benchmark results it looks like my scores are normal for my CPU. I guess a faster CPU is what I need to really push this 4870.

I think my CPU score is correct but my GPU score isn't even close to those with the same CPU and GPU! So what the hell could be wrong? Could it be a setting in the CCC?
Take a look at this and tell me if everything looks right. BTW, why does it show my GPU Core Clock at 18 and my Memory Clock at 9?

Can anyone tell me what this is? I replaced my NVIDIA 8800 GTX yesterday with a HD 4870. After installing the HD 4870 I kept getting a New Hardware Found message. Device Manager showed Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus. Now I've got an X-Fi sound card and I didn't do anything with my...
