    GTX970 won't boot on P8Z68V-Pro

    You can return it, but first get the latest ubuntu on a thumb drive and boot it up and see if you can use the computer that way. If it boots to the bios, this should be tried before you send it back. Just download an ISO and then follow the instructions here...

    Reference PCB on R9 290

    This is super useful, thanks for sharing the bit about the green sticker. I've been racking my brain about an easy way to find this out.

    290x crossfire on Shadow of Mordor

    I'll look that up too, I installed the beta driver and it cut down on the stuntedness but not fully. I'm confused! haha

    Any ideas about this NVIDIA branded GTX 970 reference card? EDIT: Now for sale at BB.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Obviously would be nice to get something with easier warranty service like EVGA but it will work.

    How much do you think it's worth spending on cooling?

    IMO, how much you want to spend on cooling is only really important once you get to a certain dollar range OR if you really care about noise. In other words, if you play with headphones on you should spend very little on cooling. I just prefer better performance after a certain point.

    mini itx z97 options ?

    I'd recommend just getting a splitter and having them run at the same speed, much better than getting a different board for a header.

    ASUS Z77M pro + 2600K ==? 2560x1440

    That I know of there isn't a way to output 1440p. Why can't you stay on 1080p until you get the new gpu?

    290x crossfire on Shadow of Mordor

    I tried closing all the background programs jic (I like to leave tabs open) and it didn't change anything. Thanks for suggesting the beta, I'll check what my drivers are. I think they are the non-beta...but even if that does fix it I"ll be confused why my first experience was perfect and...

    3do rendered some very good graphics especially for its day

    I remember playing this game on the SEGA Saturn! What great game. I am also sad about the ubiquity. I think a couple factors caused the consoles to go to PC-like hardware. A lot of it probably has to do with the cheapness of ubuiquitous hardware AND it likely makes it much easier for...

    Which Graphic Card should i buy ?

    Though up front I think the 290 is a better deal, I would get a 970 just because then you won't have to get a new PSU, as long as the PSU is not old. If that is an old PSU I'd recommend getting a new PSU before putting the new card in. ANd in that case, you could likely get the 290 and the new...

    Best ATI R9 280

    Alternatively, you might look at used prices on 7950's in Japan. In the US, the prices all plumeted because of coin mining. They go for 100 dollars in the US and are essentially the same card as a 280. Unless you're looking to save on energy, don't get the 4690s. If you do want to saver...

    Differentiate Reference and Non Reference Cards

    Best way I've found is to google the card and whether people have water cooled it. Most have documented cases of people attempting to water cool or their dismay at not being able to.

    290x crossfire on Shadow of Mordor

    I had a really interesting experience recently. I just bought SoM and had read it had some problems. So I booted it up and the only problem I noticed was that all the menus were screwed up. So I had fraps running and it seemed to be limited to 100fps. It was running at 100fps almost the...

    Spend my $50 on noise reduction!

    Best think you can do for noise if you haven't built it is get a case made for noise dampening. Any case with foam padding of any sort and half decent fans will keep a computer really quiet.

    Superior upgrade path: CPU or GPU?

    This is unorthodox, but you should sell your CPU/MOBO and get an 1150 i5 with a cheap but reliable motherboard. You should still have ~50-75 left depending on where you buy. Then sell your 270x and get into a used 7950 or 280x. They're going for practically nothing right now. Get both...

    My personal G3220 impressions

    Really multi tasking should still be faster on the 3220. It is hard to tell the difference, but as far as architecture is concerned, the 3220 will beat the agena at almost everything concerning normal use or gaming.

    i5 4570 + r9 290x = bottleneck?

    I would say that in this case your GPU is likely still more of a bottleneck than your CPU. Basically there are games where the CPU will bottlneck it occasionlly and many more where it will be bottlnecked by the GPU. Its not as simple and clean as that, but what I'm saying is that you'll get...

    Hisense TVs are great

    Thanks, I'm on a tight budget and just got the basement remodeled and need to get a TV for the downstairs! Good to know that I can get decent quality for cheap if I'm willing to do some calibration.

    Gaming PC opinions

    If you don't plan on overclocking, I would downgrade the motherboard to just a basic but well reviewed motherboard. If you don't plan on getting a dual card setup in the future or overclocking, which I doubt because you're going for a 550w psu, there is almost no benefit to a more expensive...

    What single thing do you hate most in video games?

    In FPS - people who use autoaim. In quest/adventure games bad stories. There are so many ways to tell a story, why have a crappy story?

    [AT] NVIDIA Denver performance

    Thats too bad, I was really hoping it would be something significant just for competition sake. I mean it still looks somewhat competative, just not that impressive.

    Any other enthusiasts who never use SLI/CF and thinks there's too much focus on it?

    I think it gets a lot of hype because it can be cost effective and also when you have the fastest GPU there is only one way to go faster: sli or crossfire.

    Who's skipping Haswell-e and Broadwell-e?

    I'm definitely skipping it. I just don't see that big of a performance difference since my main computer usage is gaming, other than ordinary things.

    The splitting of the +12V rail

    Thank you for posting this information. Generally, and I mean anyone using under 1000w (most users), all more than one rail does is make it likely that you'll do something wrong with multiple gpu's.

    Upgrade new gfx or cpu!

    I remember reading an article a long time ago about how basically the last GPU the Phenom II quads will keep up with is the 6950. If I was you, I would upgrade the CPU to the cheapest i5 in the new socket and a really cheap 1150 motherboard. Then look into flashing the 6950 to 6970 shaders for...

    For around $350, is the GTX970 or R9 290x my better option?

    I think that going with a 970 is a no brainer. It uses so much less power and is generally a better performer.

    Asus vg248qe or Asus vg278he

    I own the 24 inch personally. There are several things to consider here. One benefit of the 24 inch is that it is a brighter monitor (350 vs 300 on the 27 inch) which is better if your computer is in a brighter room. The next is that it is a 1ms response vs the 2ms response of the 27 inch...

    Newegg Kabini $99 kit

    The kabini really saves on energy and when you want to go super small but still have PC architecture, it helps to have the cpu use less than 25w. Its really mostly for regular usage and videos, nothing else and the biggest advantage is really the price and the power savings.
