AMD Catalyst 14.6 Beta Available

After years of waiting I thought this update would FINALLY allow for Portrait-Landscape-Portrait Eyefinity. Mixed resolution support does not include support for rotated displays unfortunately. Looks like I have more waiting ahead of me. :(

COUGAR CF-V12HPB 120mm fan $10 shipped @ newegg

I have a pair of them running on my Antec Kuhler 920 mounted vertically and have experienced no squealing. They cool as well as the stock fans while being quieter in almost all situations. Though they may require a touch more RPM to move as much air as the Antec fans, they reach that RPM with...

Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 Owners Thread

I was experiencing the same issue. I resolved this by disabling: "Deep Sleep" in Advanced -> south bridge configuration. It has not failed to wake since I changed this setting, but coincidentally, I also changed it after upgrading to the most recent bios. See below for my issues with that...

BitFenix Shinobi owners please chime in (or suggest me a cheap case)

I like the Corsair line of cases, but after the awful service I received from them during the Force 3 SSD fiasco I won't spend another dollar on their products. After they ignored me and the official forum support response was a shoulder shrug they lost my business for the future. Luckily Amex...

BitFenix Shinobi owners please chime in (or suggest me a cheap case)

I have a Shinobi myself and am pretty happy with it. I transitioned from an Antec P180 and don't have many complaints aside from the lack of filters on the fans, though that can be easily resolved by spending a few dollars on amazon/newegg. Here is a picture of my previous system in the...

PAYDAY: The Heist 75% off ends May 17 @ Gamefly

It isn't 'bad' as much as not really how the game is designed. There will be actions that you need to complete at various points in the levels, when you are playing solo, you will have to complete all of them yourself. This puts you in harms way quite a bit and also limits the strategy as far as...

PAYDAY: The Heist 75% off ends May 17 @ Gamefly

It is a squad based shooter with a mechanic that is very similar to Left4Dead. There are four main characters, when you don't have enough people to play all the characters, the AI will take over for a character. It is certainly much better (and much easier) with four people.

I can't say enough good things about this game and Overkill in general. I've owned it since release, have about 150 hours of play time into it and still regularly get my friends together to play. The DLC isn't too far off and is supposed to expand the game by about 50%. Better still the overkill...

Now you void your warranty if you go with an aftermarket cooler on your XFX 7970

I bet they take a contrary position to that if you ever do have to send your card in. What really chaps my ass more than them cancelling the double lifetime or the tamper stickers is the BS 'lifetime only if you register' nonsense that EVGA pulls. If I bought the card and have proof, why do...

I'm guessing the sites who have a good relationship with AMD (read: They actually honor NDAs) already have the cards and are finishing up the reviews for when the NDA lifts on Thursday.

AMD Radeon 7000-Series 28nm (Southern Islands) | 7990 7970 7870 7770 | Discussion

I would be THRILLED if the new iteration of Eyefinity supported PLP display setups. I love using my rotated 20" screens when working on actual work stuff, having a wider field of view in games would be a great addition.

Are 27" and 30" monitors worth the premium for gaming?

It really depends on what you plan and how you use your pc. I have had my 30" Dell for two years and absolutely love it. Recently, I added a pair of 20" screens in portrait mode to add some additional real estate, but I haven't played with multi screen gaming. The higher resolution combined with...

New card, is it a 6950 or 6970?

Nope, migrated to Chrome when I was experiencing system hangs with Firefox and my old Corsair Force3 SSD. I have some sidebar apps, including Pandora which is flash based, but the sidebar is essentially the same as IE.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Any suggestions on the fact that the BIOS switch in the #2 position makes the card not output video (maybe not even being detected?). I had 3 monitors hooked to it, both a dual and single link dvi and an ATI approved minidisplay port to single link...

So, I cannot get MSI Afterburner to show my voltage, but GPU-Z is reporting it to be pretty high: It is also Idling pretty warm (room is about 68f (20c) and my cpu is idling about 27-30c). I've also run into some odd issues. In F1 2010, if I attempt to turn post processing or reflections to...

New card, is it a 6950 or 6970?

So, I recently picked up a used graphics card and there is some murkiness regarding if it is a 6970 or 6950 that has been reflashed. Here is the GPU-z screen shot: Supposedly, the device ID cannot be changed. Thus, this shows it is a 6970. However, it only has 2x6 pin power inputs. I...

ZALMAN CNPS10X Performa CPU Cooler $25.24AR @ newegg

That is a pretty good price. I've had mine for almost a year on my i7-970 and it does a really good job at stock frequencies. A nice bonus is that it comes with all the stuff you need to mount a second fan on it, in addition to a nice PWM fan stock.

By servicing, are you referring to regulating? If so, that is hardly expensive. I just had my Oris regulated as part of some other servicing, overall it cost me about $60.
