Request to Anandtech staff after the GTX580 review.

Ryan, thank you for responding. I can certainly understand your position. It is the reviewing acumen that keeps me coming back to this site for reviews and articles. But I have to disagree with the only apples to apples comparison. In the lab this makes sense and keeps things as you say...

Request to Anandtech staff after the GTX580 review.

Thanks for the responses. My main point was that for the games I am playing at the moment BFBC2, stalker and Dirt2, all DX11 games and part of Anandtech's bench suite. I cannot tell how my SLI or even one of my cards stacks up against all these great options, as it is not listed, even in...

Request to Anandtech staff after the GTX580 review.

Put this in the review comments but they are 12 pages long, so not sure if it will be noticed... Now that it is getting to nearly two years since I brought my graphics cards, a pair of GTX285's, it is starting to get towards the time I am thinking about maybe upgrading to DX11. So I am...

Windows 7 small defrag command bug?

Thanks for the reply bmaytum. When you say you noticed your MFT usage was high (95%), did you get this result running the win 7 'defrag' command at the command prompt (as I did above) or using another method? My problem is that the windows 7 native defrag command always says the MFT usage is...

High DPI mice not as useless as most say?

Also just found a much quoted mouse optimisation guide here which mentions the 6th notch being best idea. "http://www.overclock.net/computer-peripherals/173255-cs-s-mouse-optimization-guide.html" But it seems to say that the 6th notch is best because of bugs in Windows XP mouse tracking at...

High DPI mice not as useless as most say?

So always when I read comments and reviews about the recent mice with high DPI's (above 4000) they say 'A DPI that high is useless the cursor and sight in a game move around too fast, you have to turn the DPI down a lot for the speed to be manageable. So there is no point to buying a high DPI...

Windows 7 small defrag command bug?

Enermax Revolution 85+ SLI or Crossfire certified, but not both.

Who knows maybe you will get more crashes etc. It must matter some how, else why make two models. It must cost them more to have two models for each wattage than one, different packaging, etc.

Anyone with asus x58 board and a i7 965 ee?

Thanks for the details, but I want to try and take advantage of a feature unique to the 965 which is it allows you to configure turbo mode to your own desires. So you can set it to instead of only over clocking the CPU 133mhz or 266 when only one core is in use to set it to say 400 mhz or above...

Anyone with asus x58 board and a i7 965 ee?

Thanks for the response. Sorry to sound ungrateful, but is that it? It all works..... Does the turboV app work as I thought with you able to put different multipliers against each of (i, ii, iii & iv). For example x27 against i, x26 against ii, x25 against iii and x24 against iv. Though it...

Just looking through the manuals for the Asus p6t and Rampage II. You seem to be able to do something simular with them to what can be done on the MSI and Intel boards with the turbo limits. Just not in the bios. The TurboV software has a place in the advanced section under the 'cpu ratio'...

Thanks for the response. Intesting to have some real details rather than theories. Just to confirm. On the MSI you are making changes in the 'turbo boost tech config' section and changing the mutltipliers for '1-core ratio limit', '2-core ratio limit' etc? And you had all of these set to x28...

Core i7 965 EE Unlocked turbo thread

Turbo mode on the 920 and 940 is a completely different animal to how it can be done on the 965 due to the unlocked nature of the proccessor. I myself am not impressed by turbo mode on the 920 and 940 for the reasons you mention, i.e vista etc will always try to keep maximum amount of cores in...
