$599 for GTX 980? Seriously, Nvidia? You better be packing some secret reserve of performance somehow, because the leaked benchmarks I'm seeing do not justify 600 bucks.
I have an idea - why don't we...
Best review I have found, bar none, for those interested in benchmarks for the 5820k, especially the gaming benchmarks section. Wish I could read the language to see what kind of cooling, etc. he is using...
I'm definitely holding out for a 5820 to see what it brings to the table in terms of temps (overlocked and not) and price most importantly, and then IPC and overclockability. But living in Arizona with its 115-degree summers skews my priorities a bit.
The only posts that are really worthwhile throughout this entire thread are those made by people with the understanding that nobody should be buying CPUs based on how well they perform solely with today's games. All these recommendations for the i5 seem, to me, absolutely ridiculous given what...
Searching Google hasn't been very fruitful with this, and all forum threads on the topic seemed to be at least a couple years old.
I know that TigerDirect carries a few OEM CPUs, but most of the more recent CPUs are Out of Stock. Any others? Hopefully one that is offering pre-orders on the...
Looking around, it seems like most Z97 share most of the same features, but I am having a hard time finding a good, inexpensive Z97 board with 801.11 ac wifi (a prime consideration for me). I have always gone with ASUS, but the only Z97 board they appear to have with 801.11 ac is the...
Thanks for the input everyone. After much more research, I've decided to jump on the bandwagon and go with a Korean monitor.
But I am having a hell of a time finding one with a glossy screen (love glossy screens!). Crossover, Yamakasi, or Qnix would be nice - does anyone have a link to one of...
What do you all think is the best (in terms of cost performance) 24" monitor out there right now?
Must be:
1. IPS
2. LED
3. Glossy screen
Prefer:
1. USB slots
2. 1920x1200
3. Very accurate colors
If the glossy screen requirement negates too many options, then scrap it (it seems...
Thanks for the reply. Actually, yeah, I used to get around some things by doing that with Windows 7 as well.
But is there any other way to set the default language for Windows 8 other then to set the language at the top of the language priority box thing? When putting Japanese at the top, all...
Just upgraded to Windows 8 and I'm having an issue I never had in Windows 7. Whenever somebody sends me an archive (.zip, .rar, etc.) that contains file names that are in Japanese, they always appear garbled (文字化け).
1. I am using Outlook 2010
2. This happens...
I'm looking to get a new laptop with the below specs:
-128 GB SSD
-IPS screen, 1920x1080
-i5 processor
-6 GB ram
I like the VAIOs, but they don't allow all that much customization, and I really want to get something with the exact specs above. Any help?
I'm wondering if anyone knows what the best blu-ray disc player out there is for under $200 that can:
1) Play video from all regions
2) Play DivX and H.264 format video
Would love any input!
lol Yeah I... uh... knew that! Just testing you guys! And you... uh... passed!
So I pushed the BCLK to 155 and now I'm getting max load temps of 85C. Too high, or should I reseat my HSF and reapply some thermal paste?
Thanks for the info, guys! I will have a read through those.
One problem, though: There doesn't seem to be an option for changing the BCLK speed in my bios under the Ai Tweaker tab. I am using an ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard, btw.
I am wondering if anyone could tell me what my bios settings should be for a modest air-cooled overclock with the following components:
-i7 950 (with Thermalright Ultra-120 rev. C hsf)
-Corsair DDR3 1333 Mhz RAM. I forgot, but I think this is the one I have...
I'm looking for a way to set the speed of a chassis fan (3-pin) connected to my ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard. Anyone have any suggestions on how best to do this?
I have tried ASUS' Fan Xpert, and it doesn't work for me at all: there is only the option to adjust all chassis fans at once, and even...
T101: I think you may be referring to using the tablet in "pen mode" or "absolute mode". I have heard that using the tablet in "mouse mode", a.k.a. relative mode is the preferred way for applications outside of Photoshop.
Mouse mode seems like the way to go with games.
LOL yes this is a serious post. What I am referring to is of course still using the keyboard (WASD or ESDF) for movement and then using the tablet in place of the mouse.
It's videos like these that prompted me to even start thinking about the idea of playing games with a pen in the first...
I realize this may strike many of you as very odd, but I am interested in hearing from people who have used a Wacom tablet for gaming. I have heard of the ergonomic benefits of using a pen as opposed to a mouse (I have mild RSI) and am wondering about the general experience of playing RTSs and...
That's a hell of an overclock and the P6X58D-E Looks like a nice board.
Question though: With 2 6870s, which each take up 2 slots, will there still be room to put in my PCI soundcard? I guess it will have to go in that slot closest to the CPU?
Also, any RAM recommendations? Need 8GB, and am...
I'm building a new system and need a motherboard that fits these criteria (at the minimum):
1. Crossfire support (for 2 6870s)
2. i7-950 compatible
3. USB 3.0
4. ASUS or other reputable brand
5. $200 or (preferably) less
Could really use any advice you all might have. Thanks!
Does anyone know the console command to run the "chase bench" benchmark in Bad Company 2? Is it a timedemo command or something?
Also, are there any ways of benchmarking gamebryo engine games like Fallout 3 or New Vegas?
Thanks.
Here's the short of it: I am completely unable to boot into Windows 7 either normally, or through safe mode. Running a boot disc and trying to reinstall doesn't work either.
When trying to enter Windows 7 normally:
It gets to the splash screen with the animating windows logo and just...
I had a Velociraptor fail on me recently, but they RMAd a new drive to me in about a week. Never had problems with any other WD drives in like 15 years of history with them.
Just be conscientious about backing up information that you'd miss if it were just suddenly gone tomorrow.
No, not independently wealthy; I just lost a Velociraptor to an unknown affliction and need emotional support from a new gadget.
So is there a desktop version of the Intel x-25m?
Have a couple questions about the new SSD drive from Intel:
1. Does a bracket to mount it in a standard desktop case come in the box?
2. If anyone has one of these, would you mind giving your thoughts on it?
Gonna have the exact same setup as you power supply and grafx card wise in about an hour when my card arrives. Going from a 9800GTX. Wanted to buy a GTX295 but not a SINGLE online vendor in Japan had any in stock.
I hope the card fits in my case.
This is not something that is easy to find on the web (I'm assuming because nobody wants to officially come out and say that one company is "better" than another on their website). But I'd be interested to hear people's opinions on the relative strengths and weaknesses of various video card...
I'm using a Seasonic 600HT (600W) power supply and it's only got 2 6-pin connectors. I'm thinking about getting one of the upcoming GTX295 cards (which requires a native 8-pin PEG) and I'd like to use the same PSU if possible, so would you guys recommend a molex to 8-pin adapter, or should I...
Does anyone know of a company that makes brackets to allow me to use a 3.5" drive in a 5.25 bay? I want to put my WD Velociraptor in there so the higher quality the bracket the better.
Thanks for any help.
