    Bad 3DMark11 and PassMark Scores

    Thanks a lot for the advice, I was wondering if this was the case or if it's slow for some other reason. I did do a clean sweep and reinstall windows, that sped me up a little bit.

    Bad 3DMark11 and PassMark Scores

    Hi and thanks for reading! I am looking for insight on why my PC is running slow. I noticed my PC running slow on Deus Ex Human Revolution as well as Saints Row: The Third. It turns out, my 3DMark11 score is just above 2000, PassMark is 1896.9. I see my CPU, GPU and memory getting outclassed by...

    Break in period before overclocking?

    As far as I know, electronics don't have a break in period. Failure happens over a short time period whether the device is brand new or older.

    Capacitor Polarity how to tell

    In electric components, usually anything with a distinguishing mark (stripe, etc.) is the positive lead/terminal.

    resistor question

    An easy way to decipher Req for weird looking resistor connections is to identify series combinations first (resistors sharing only one node), then to identify parallel combinations (resistors or combinations of resistors sharing two nodes).

    Installing onboard audio drivers

    The drivers are for an Intel Desktop Board D945PVS IDT. This headache problem is that the drivers do not want to install because of the HD Audio drivers currently installed. Intel troubleshooting says to uninstall those and install the Realtek HD audio drivers that come with the IDT install...

    Suggestions on a ~$400-$500 Laptop

    I'm looking for a 13.3" or 15.6" to be used for internet browsing, smooth video playback, word processing, and outlook. I was thinking at least 2GB RAM, bright and clear screen, HDD space not important. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!^_^

    Help with Maple/Matlab/Mathematica

    I've always used the symbolic math toolbox to solve diff eq's in the past as a stepping stone and separate m-file. I could never figure out how to get the numerical diff functions to work right for me. Copy+paste symbolic solutions into the numerical m-file.

    Explain Current and Voltage to me

    Just out of curoisity - do you know what resistance a typical human body is? I thought it was around 10K or so... I think that number goes way down for AC because the skin becomes less resistive, so at 12VDC, it's even less of a concern.

    The ending to AC1 was really cheesy and didn't make much sense from what I remember.

    Bios won't recognize new optical drive

    I tried to install a new DVD-ROM drive into a friend's work computer and the bios reads "Unknown Drive" under Secondary Master. It's a Dell Optiplex GX270. Is there any way around this or does Dell have the leash too tight?

    cheapest and most upgradeable gaming build

    Check your motherboard documentation for bulk settings - my Asus has settings in the bios for "Optimal" and "Aggressive" performance - the latter being the only setting for dual channel mode. It shows the speed in single data rate, I believe - someone correct me if I'm wrong with new mobos...

    AGP Upgrade

    Cool story here: I bought that exact same chip OEM before eventually buying the 3200+, but when it came from Tiger, several pins were bent. That's a no-no in my book when it cost $700. It took almost 2 months to get my money back from them.

    Nice, almost exactly the same except I have two 80GB Seagates in RAID 0.

    AGP Upgrade

    Not bad at all! Although I do have a PS3 now... the new system would mostly be for Matlab and CAD - this one for internet and family use.

    AGP Upgrade

    I play Warcraft 3 FT, Fable, Half Life 2, Sim City 4, Civilization 4, Far Cry... But yeah, no new games. Not for years. :| I recently put my system into a Storm Scout case - how's that for a polished turd?

    AGP Upgrade

    Meh, I've been deliberating on putting together a ~$500 build based on X2 550... Just wondering if there's any possible way I can squeeze more performance out of this one.

    which psu antec or corsair?

    I see that now, thanks.

    which psu antec or corsair?

    Didn't realize that the Antec had that feature, thanks for pointing it out. Where did you find that the Antec provides 45A at 12V?
  22. J

    which psu antec or corsair?

    Those are both good solutions. I would go with the Corsair simply because it's cheaper and has a single 12V rail, making it "idiot" proof. You'll have 41A at 12V with the Corsair where you would need to watch overloading any single one of the four 12V rails rated at 20A on the Antec.

    AGP Upgrade

    My current system is an XP 3200+ OC'd to 2.4, 1024MB DDR 400, Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe, Radeon 9800 Pro, Antec Basiq430 PSU. Is there anything at all I can upgrade without bottlenecking? Mostly, I'd like to upgrade the video card (fan is failing).

    Can my Antec 450w SmartPower support a GTX295?

    Yes, but were all these products priced 20% higher than a competitor's performance equal? I totally agree, I'm just frugal, I guess when I say that I wouldn't touch a GTX295 while I can get an HD5870 for $100 less...

    Monitor does not receive signal from the computer

    Use the settings on the monitor itself to see if the monitor is actually displaying the menus and is working. Replace the DVI/VGA adapter. Try a different video card if you have one.

    What console game are you looking forward to the most in 2010?

    What is this "Mass Effect 2" and why is it supplanting God of War III on so many peoples' lists? Edit: Oh, Xbox exclusive.

    Power Spec's for GPU, etc.

    I see a lot of the PSU recommendations in this forum based on peak amp draw for CPU and GPU. Where do you guys get these numbers? Is there a reliable source of power usage spec's on common system components? Most card manufacturers only put the fluffy, top-level spec's on their websites.

    Need a PSU recommendation

    I would go with the same size and same brand simply because Corsair makes a quality product and give you long, sleeved cables.

    I have the same problem when I have a flash drive plugged in on booting. Wait to plug in the external drive until you boot into Windows.

    You want the side fan to blow air onto the video card.

    Can my Antec 450w SmartPower support a GTX295?

    I agree, brand loyalty doesn't help tech innovation through competition. But really, why hurt your performance and your pocketbook just to stay loyal to a brand? nVidia is keeping the price point high on an inferior card hoping to utilize the same business principle as Monster Cable.

    Could I upgrade my CPU without a new PSU?

    Your PSU probably won't trip with the addition of only 30W.

    Best overall CPU for ~$100

    I'm really not sure. I use the control systems toolbox most of the time and Simulink. I do a lot of global searches, those can take about 10 minutes on my core 2 duo laptop (2.0 GHz). It also gets lava-hot.

    Well, what about unlocking the X2 550?

    Should I get my 60gb PS3 Fixed?
