Unigine 'Heaven' DX11 Benchmark 3.0 released

It does. And not only that, but I don't necessarily agree that most people leave it at defaults. The majority of runs I've seen use AA (which is not a default setting), and some bump the AF and Tess settings higher as well. Point is that the settings are all over the place, in general, and...

Unigine 'Heaven' DX11 Benchmark 3.0 released

Huh? Running at 1680x1050 without DX11 features and AA isn't going to illustrate performance differences in modern hardware. That's the point of the adjustable settings - if I want to be able to tell the difference between a 6970+6990 tri fire set up and a 7970 crossfire setup, I'm going to...

Unigine 'Heaven' DX11 Benchmark 3.0 released

Nope. Sadly, the score is pretty much 100% worthless since it doesn't translate to "baseline" settings, from what I've been able to tell. It's basically just a different number from your FPS score, and is just as dependent on all of the other settings that you choose. To me, two back to back...

Better setup for water cooling - 6990 or 6970 CFX?

7970 isn't really an option right now. I'm actually running two Asus 7970 DC2 Top cards in cfx in my system at the moment, and I was going to water cool them when the EK block comes out in a few weeks, but they're just not working for me at all. They crash all the time, whether I've got them...

Better setup for water cooling - 6990 or 6970 CFX?

Price aside for a second. I've seen online reviews showing the 6990 will OC to around 1000 MHz on water, and I'm pretty sure you could get the same out of the 6970 CFX setup, but the question is really about performance (given roughly equal clocks), micro stutter, difficulty over clocking...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Hi all, hoping for a bit of help here. I tried to give bitcoin mining a whirl last night, but I ran into a snag. I loaded up the wallet app, got my wallet code, registered at bitclockers and got a worker name. Then I downloaded the SDK APP for my Radeon drivers, installed them, and downloaded...

[TPU] ASUS 7970 DCu II coming

Wow, perfect, thanks for the link! Up until now I've been using dual slot cards in CFX (reference 6950s). I liked that I had the extra slot in between them for cooling purposes, but I would imagine with the extra cooling of these cards, the smaller space in between cards won't be an issue.

Hmm, really? That's not what this says: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/12/22/amd_radeon_hd_7970_video_card_review/14 Stock 7970 vs Factory OCed GTX580: 9-29% faster among 5 modern games for a single display, and 16-38% faster for eyefinity in same tests. When overclocking the 7970...

[TPU] ASUS 7970 DCu II coming

I'm running a Asus P8Z68 V-Pro motherboard, and I'm looking to find a 6 display 7970 cfx setup. Anyone know if this will work with two of these? I do have two PCI-e slots in between my main PCI-E x16.0 slots. Here's a photo of the motherboard slot arrangement: Sure would like to be able to...

GeForce Kepler 104 (GK104) 256-bit GDDR5 Memory Bus - 225W TDP

+1. I think another revealing question would be if any company has ever released a mid-range product that's substantially (20% or more) faster across the board than the previous generation's ultra card. Comparing the 7970 to the 580, it tops it by a solid margin in most (non-artificial)...

What to do with 2 6950s? Bitcoins? XFire? Sell for 7970?

I also have two of the 2GB unlockable (reference) 6950 cards. I had thrown them up for sale and got a couple nibbles (no firm committments yet), but I'm almost having second thoughts. Given what people are finding as far as the inconsistency of OC potential with different bins of 7970 cards, I...

Desktop arrangement presets and switching not working with Cata 12.1 preview?

I'm having a lot of difficulty with CCC under the 12.1 preview. I typically switch between a 1xDell 3011H + 3xDell 2007H setup for desktop use and gaming, to a single HDMI ouptut to my HDTV for laz-y-boy gaming. Unfortunately I can't do all of this at one time do to legacy connection...

Ok to install new MB/CPU without reformatting?

Thanks for the info all, I got it working a couple days ago just like you said. I'm content with things the way they are for now, but I'm sure I'll do a fresh install in a few months.

Corsair AX850 or OCZ ZX850 (considering price difference)?

I probably worded that badly - I meant the voltage regulation on the hx model seemed to do better than the ax on jonnyguru.

Ok to install new MB/CPU without reformatting?

I'm about to install my new SB setup into a PC that was previously a LGA1366 setup, and I really would rather avoid reformatting if I can. Will this cause problems for my OS (Win 7 Pro x64)? Also, is there a way to get rid of all the extraneous old drivers after I'm done installing the new...

Corsair AX850 or OCZ ZX850 (considering price difference)?

I like the higher efficiency and fully modular nature of the AX850 corsair, but the lower cost and better transient mechanics of the HX850 are tough to ignore. I may end up going with that.

Corsair AX850 or OCZ ZX850 (considering price difference)?

I appreciate the response, but I think I'd sooner go with the OCZ than either of those. It's more efficient, fully modular (this is key), and cheaper than either of them. Plus I don't know that XFX is any more reputable than OCZ anyway. Cost isn't _that_ important to me, so if I'm gonna pay...

Corsair AX850 or OCZ ZX850 (considering price difference)?

I'm a big corsair fan for PSU's (who isn't?), and I like the warm fuzzy that a quality name brand brings me, even if it's not a real substantial gain in performance or reliability. That said, both of those units scored very highly in various reviews: Corsair...

Picked up three 2007fp refurbs (all IPS panels - rev A05, LG) recently for a portrait eyefinity setup to compliment my U3011. I love that they all line up perfectly and work nicely for a desktop, but I seem to have gotten three very different monitors. I've even calibrated them all using my...
