Advice for upgrade of GTX 670

I've got 2 EVGA 670 FTW's I'm selling right now. They were both in my rig, gave them to my boys and bought 2 MSI 770 Lightnings. I'm not gaming all the much so I pulled their 670's and gave them the Lightnings and bought myself a Gigabyte 780 GHz. SLI works great in my experience, I just don't...

NVidia driver 337.50 beta released!

Ridiculous. Should we start including benchmarks from consoles now since AMD created an API similar to consoles? Physx doesn't increase FPS it usually decreases them nor was is built to specifically increase FPS like Mantle was. Physx can be forced to run on CPU through the Nvidia control...

NVidia driver 337.50 beta released!

I remember years ago (early 2000s I think) when Nvidia got caught "optimizing" its drivers for some benchmarks because its current line of cards were poo. I think it was the FX line? End result was that they were cheating and not rendering "everything" on the screen correctly. Correct me if I'm...

Had someone on the server named Karakuletr. He hit me with the pepper spray (same team) and the Mark Mod killed him, so I guess that means it works. Edit: The server can be seen at this link http://www.markmods.com/swat4serverlist/

If you bought a 8.1 OEM dvd then you'll need to install 8.1 from that. Installing Vista was a waste of time.

Can't install Win7 on a Win8 machine? GPT partition.

If he has 4 partitions the system may be set for UEFI booting already. He would need to do the reverse & turn off UEFI I would imagine. I setup my Desktop for UEFI on my SSD & it automatically created 4 partitions. Other then that, there shouldn't be any issue with keeping the recovery (Win8)...

If you are really that worried about Win8.1 I guess. You can download win8.1 trial for like 30 days I believe. Edit: looks like a 90 day trial. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Download-a-90-Day-Trial-of-Windows-8-1-392171.shtml

Upgrade to 8.1 first & give that a try. There are useful additions to 8.1 that make it far more tolerable for myself.

how to recover,partion D recovery,on a gateway 6860 fx

If you have to get another CD I would suggest buying Win8.1 or Win7 at the least. You will have to use the advanced option before installing in the partition area. Delete all the partitions, then create a "New" partition. You should be fine from there on assuming the LT's hardware is all fully...
