  1. Triple monitor setup

    I had planned on selling my current setup and putting that money towards the new one. I like my 120hz display, the higher refresh rate is noticeable even on the desktop, but I dont want to mix and match that would be asking for problems. However, I can live with 3 x IPS 60hz monitors. What...
  2. Triple monitor setup

    Hi All, Need recommendations for my next home upgrade- what monitors should I buy? I am upgrading to a new Haswell setup, I currently have one 120hz monitor but would like to go triple 23-24" displays. I will be using this 90% of the time for web browsing and office use (I have dual...
  3. Adaptive Vsync sounds like a great idea, want on 7970

    It probably will find it's way to AMD via a driver update much like other recent driver only features. MLAA comes to mind, Nvidia shortly came out with FXAA which while different is a post process AA similar to MLAA in performance impact and effect. Driver cycles are slow though, if AMD's...
  4. Gtx 680. Are you buying one? Why or why not?

    Probably will buy one after the initial price hike is over- just out of an appreciation for the engineering and some extra performance and features. I'll keep my 580 though for folding and PhysX though.
  5. GPU boost - gimmick?

    Yeah, that's referring to Adaptive Vsync which we all know about, it's done in the driver and not a fixed function hardware unit as you described. As for 'Dynamic framerate function when played in surround' that could be anything, it could perhaps refer to single GPU running 3 monitors in...
  6. GPU boost - gimmick?

    Where does it state they have IC's measuring FPS and load? I agree with Stuka87 on this. Anyway, I personally don't have a need for GPU boost, It's and interesting take on things but I'd say we won't see Intel style performance boosts until perhaps the 2nd or 3rd iteration of it.
  7. NVIDIA's New FXAA Antialiasing Technology

    Meh it's a nice option but compared to MLAA it's still not a killer implementation. MLAA came at release available for pretty much all recent games regardless of developer / API. FXAA is only what....3 titles so far?
  8. Catalyst War: 11.2~11.5

    Isn't it against ToS to link to a personal blog.
  9. Alternative to ASUS Smartdoctor?

    Nvidia Inspector
  10. Why do graphics card designers lock shaders?

    You misunderstood what I said. The 460 and the 560ti are both based on the same GF104 archietecture with the ti being a revision called GF114- these are 'ground up' GPU's designed specifically for midrange performance, price point and cost. It's not a simple harvest the high end and flog it as...
  11. Can I clock my SLI GPUs asynchronously?

    By default the driver sets clockspeeds as per the default clockspeeds of each card, however you can clock them manually since Cat 8.1 and achieve a minor benefit. The architectures have to be similar though ie a xx70 and xx50 are usually based off the same die just with reduced clocks/shaders...
  12. Why do graphics card designers lock shaders?

    It's cheaper. Company X makes a high end GPU with 3 billion transistors. However of the 40% of GPUs that come out of the fab operable, perhaps 60% of those are operable at the voltage and frequency required to meet the requirements of the top end GPU. So instead of throwing away those that...
  13. APU

    There's more to it than the elements you mention. Nvidia and AMD have different approaches to handling data both in the driver and the hardware architecture. You may already know this but lets recap for those who don't. Nvidia focus on Thread level Parallelism (TLP) whereby incoming data sets...
  14. Is there a way to fix the "jagged shadows" in some games?

    MSAA works by sampling geometry in a scene. A shadow is not something represented by geometry, it is a post process shader effect- thus traditional MSAA does not work on shadows. MLAA is forced through the driver not the game. I am uncertain as to how MLAA would handle shadow aliasing. I...
  15. video card for games + CAD

    They can 'talk across to each other'. The memory controller distributes load according to the resources available in each module. Just like how a card with '1GB of RAM' is not actually 1 bank of 1GB of memory- It's usually 16 Banks of 64mb.
  16. XSPC water cooling cases

    Anyone have any experience with the H2? It costs way too much in international shipping for me to consider the MM case and yet a reseller locally has just got the XSPC H2 in stock. I need something that can mount 2x triple PA120.3's internally easily.
  17. Who wants some Call of Pripyat

    I just finished COP vanilla the other day and was quite impressed overall, typical Stalker game- a bit buggy and weird but atmosphere was excellent. I installed the Complete mod 'Advanced' version (apparently for high end hardware, larger textures, more memory usage, larger draw distances...
  18. Is multi-gpu the way to go now?

    The thing with microstuter is you are unlikely to see it first up when you have a new setup with 2 cards that are playing games (presumably) better than before. It's after a while and you get used to it that the rot sets in, and it took me until I actually switched to a single card for me to see...
  19. Is multi-gpu the way to go now?

    I've owned 3 Crossfire setups since it's inception and the scaling was never an issue for me. If you stuck to high profile games (like I did) there was no issue. When using a Multi-GPU I found I got used to the microstuttering and after a while didn't notice it. It was only until I swapped out...
  20. Nvidia 270.61 WHQL drivers available.4.18

    Been using the BETA's for a while now, will try these when I get home. I can't remember from previous drivers, but is it just me or is there no Stalker: Call of Pripyat profile in the Nv control panel? I see Stalker SHOC and Clear sky but not Pripyat.
  21. 'Natty Narwhal' Alpha Offers Peek at Ubuntu 11.04

    +1 After trying out Natty on my laptop which has been running 10.04 since release, I could not stand and the new UI. Things just took longer to do and usability was not where it was previously. Obviously, opinions may vary but this is what I found. After the disappointment with 11.04 I...
  22. NVIDIA drivers 266.58 WHQL 1-18-11

    I have found the same thing. I have taken (for my own testing) before and after shots with AO Enabled and Disabled, it is certainly not a perfect implementation but when it works, it absolutely adds value to the scene and is an excellent addition by Nvidia in their drivers. AO is perhaps the...
  23. NVIDIA drivers 266.58 WHQL 1-18-11

    Indeed, however there is an IR driver present in the 266 package which is out of date. According to what Keys posted earlier, with the release of the 260 driver Nvidia separated the IR driver and 3D vision driver. Now previous display/3D drivers would not work with a 260 IR driver and right now...
  24. NVIDIA drivers 266.58 WHQL 1-18-11

    Solved! Ah ha! So after some Google searching it appeared that a few others were having the same problems, it appears Nvidia didn't include the correct IR emitter driver or it wasn't installing properly in the 266 package. Anyway, I found that using this IR emitter driver fixes the problem. You...
  25. NVIDIA drivers 266.58 WHQL 1-18-11

    I can also confirm problems with 3D vision. I have tried the IR Emitter driver present in the 266.58 package and the one downloaded from Nvidia's website. I have tried installing them separately then installing the 266 driver but to no avail. My IR Emitter is recognised and Device manager says...
  26. WoW: Cataclysm Benchmarks!

    Stay's at pretty much 120fps with Vsync + triple buffering and 16XCSAA @ 1980x1080. Even performance to spare for Ambient Occlusion enabled- :thumbsup:
  27. using Quadro drivers modded to work with regular card

    There is no 'IQ advantage' for using Quadro drivers on a non a retail card, anyone who says otherwise is subject to the placebo effect.
  28. Nvidia Inspector 1.9.4.2 is out

    This is a great tool. Low memory footprint and updated regularly unlike Nhancer and other tools (it seems to cause less problems than Afterburner too - referring to the stuttering issue when Afterburner polls the GPU in a previous version). This is what I've been using on my 580 - cool thing...
  29. Gainward GTX 580 installation + impressions

    So here's the fun part. Firstly, let me say that I will not be using Furmark or OCCT because of the driver detected thermal throttling that takes place. Yes, I know about the GPU-Z workaround but they do not interest me as good tests anyway as never in real world will temps approach what they do...
  30. GTX285 vs well, everything else

    It has a 512bit bus that means it's faster than everything, like those 1GB FX5200's they were the fastest in their day too.
  31. Nvidia card for active shutter 3d gaming

    Take the framerate quoted in reviews or by users and then halve it. 3D is literally rendering the image twice for both eyes so the performance hit is pretty massive. See my latest thread here for my thoughts on 3D + 580. So far I have only tried two '3D vision ready' titles in my collection and...
  32. Anybody use nvidia 3D Vision?

    Yep It's great, see my post yesterday about 3D on my GTX580.
  33. Gainward GTX 580 installation + impressions

    Update: 3D kit arrived. Unfortunately my camera has decide not to work so I can't provide any pictures at the moment but i can perhaps describe my experience thus far. The kit came immaculately packaged, very much Apple like in presentation on the box with several cables for charging via...
  34. Benefits of a 120hz monitor vs 60hz, recommendations for 24-25"?

    In my experience 120hz has definitely been worth it. The instant I switched it to 120hz I could tell the difference even on the desktop, noticeably smoother. If you are running games in excess of 100fps then you will notice the difference as you are half as likely to encounter tearing. All...
  35. Eurogamer claims Elder Scrolls 5 is in the works, direct sequel to Oblivion.

    WTF if it's still based off Gamebryo that is an instant fail for me.
  36. Poll for Monitor Sizes

    I voted 23, but it's a 23.6" Alienware 120hz, love it :D
  37. New driver v263.09 for GTX580&GTX460SE

    I am sure a unified, documented release will follow soon. With new cards launching these are just launch drivers that cater to fixing any important issues that may arrive in the short term. If one really wanted to try these out on older cards a modded inf usually works.
  38. Performance with older generation SLI/xfire

    My 2 3850's and 4870X2 are still at home somewhere, with or without cooling still mounted on them. It might be good to bring them back to life again oneday to see if things have changed. Generally though, if AMD/Nvidia produce a SLI/CF profile for their latest and greatest in the latest drivers...
  39. Looks like an accurate slide for 6970/Cayman specs

    That's a pretty big step for AMD to make this generation. Powering down specific on chip units to remain within a given power envelope would be a big investment at the archietecture level. I wonder if next gen cards from GF will feature power gating like Intel uses currently?
