I'm currently running a single GTX 580 (1.5gb ram). I'm also running the P67 chipset so I'm limited to PCIE 2.0 (instead of 3.0). I was looking at upgrading to the GTX 680 but noticed newegg.com has my video card (exact model) on sale for $369.99. Looking for advice on which way to go. I'm...
Thanks to all for the answers. Again, I know I can connect both to the 680, I was just curious if it were possible to run it in the configuration I was asking about. Once I get everything from the build, I'll give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks again.
I don't have both yet. Just brainstorming a new build. I know for sure I can connect both to the GTX 680 but was just curious if it were possible to have one connected HDMI to the HD 4000 and still be able to span the desktop across both monitors.
Tried doing a search but not really sure how to search this. Is it possible to have a dual monitor setup where one monitor is connected HDMI to the HD 4000 and another monitor connected DVI to the GTX 680 and have the desktop span across both monitors (windows 7 or windows 8)? My gut tells me...
Thanks for replying. I understand I won't be getting true 2 x 16x when I install a second video card. My main concern is if I install a sound card in the pcie x4 slot will it downgrade my one video card to 8x? Also, will having that sound card installed in the pcie x4 slot interfere with a...
This question is in reference to the Asus Maximus IV motherboard. I know one of the limitations of the p67 chipset is no dual 16x support for sli / xfire. Does that apply to all pcie slots on the motherboard? I will be getting one gtx 580 (for now) but also getting a pcie 1x sound card. Will...
Appreciate the link and I have seen that item but am looking for something different. Thanks.
Yes, that's it. I know it says 3/6 Gbit/s but wondering if that means it's just compatible with 6 Gbit/s and downgrade the drive to 3 Gbit/s or if it will actually run the drive at 6 Gbit/s?
I guess what I'm asking is if anyone knows if the box is just straight through or if it has a SATA backplane? If it's straight through, it should work fine with SATA 6 Gbit/s. If it has a SATA backplane, it's most likely using SATA 3 Gbit/s. Just trying to figure it out for my build I'm...
Does anyone happen to know if the Ultra ULT40443 3.5" Internal Enclosure natively supports SATA revision 3.0 (SATA 6 Gbit/s)? Done quite a bit of searching last night / this morning and can't find a definitive answer so hoping someone here has one that can give a definitive answer.
Hooked up my pc to a 47" this evening (this model: http://www.vizio.com/flat-panel-hdtvs/sv471xvt.html) and the picture was amazing. Didn't notice any input lag at all (played UT3). Anyone know a different or better game to try that would show any deficiencies? Bear in mind that I won't have...
Saw someone at quakecon this year with a 32" tv as their display. The picture was unbelievable (which gave me the idea to give it a try). As far as input lag, how does it not effect console gaming? Guess I'll have to take my pc to the living room and check out how the picture looks.
So this is false advertising: http://www.vizio.com/flat-panel-hdtvs/sv320xvt.html
or are you saying that connecting the tv to your video card through hdmi will still only produce 60hz instead of 120hz?
Searched the forums but haven't found any solid info. Looking at possibly buying a vizio 32" xvt tv (model is SV320XVT) and using it for my main display on my PC. The reason is the picture is outstanding plus it runs at 120hz. I currently have the 47" model as my main tv. I guess I could...
All my characters were gone. Guess I haven't played them in quite some time. When I logged on, I had zero characters on my account (used to have about 6 total on my account). Maybe now they won't expire but I believe they did back in the day.
Weird, I have the same proc as you but not overclocked. I'm running 3870 x 2 in crossfire in vista x64 w 8gb ram at 1920 x 1200 with no aa or af and I get and avg of 30-40fps in Shatt and an avg of 50 or so everywhere else in outland. This is a little better than my old system but I thought...
I need to try again as it crashed fairly early in the game but wasn't a big fan of crossfire in this game. Had a problem with trasparent textures in the first area, along with glassy floor textures. Read up on it and heard it was a problem with aa and ati cards. Turned off aa and sure enough...
Just built up my new system and decided to give crossfire a try. I got a pair of Diamond Viper Radeon HD 3870's for the video. I noticed, like everyone who has the 3870's has stated, that the fan's run slow so I downloaded rivatuner to speed them up (as both still have the stock hsf). My...
OMG!! It's been years since I've seen the Crusader games and Bioforge!! Interstate '76!! Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries also!! That game needs to be remade with current tech!! Where did you happen to get those? Were they difficult to get working under vista x64? You have an awesome collection...
Can you name (not speculate) any other game coming out that's dual core optimized? If he's a gamer, single core is still a viable choice. By the time the majority of games released are dual core optimized, I'm sure we will have gone through a couple of generations of dual core processors.
Anyone had their sound die on this motherboard? Was working just fine yesterday but when I turned on the PC today, no sound. The nvidia drivers aren't listed in device manager either. Reinstalled the latest nvidia drivers and they're still not there. Updated the BIOS to the latest revision...
Am I the only person that notices the problem with his statement I put in bold above? If I had said lamp, I wouldn't even be thinking about MMORPG's, I would definitely be wishing for Ms. Alba naked in bed. Someone has MMORPG issues or something!
Anyone here running a x1900 xt(x) on a nforce 4 motherboard? Any compatibility issues? That would be the only thing that would keep me from going to an ATI vid card.
Trying to make a slipstream copy of XP with SP2 and the latest nvraid (from www.nvidia.com) driver so I don't have to use a floppy drive. Following the guide at Maximum PC for the slipstream. I'm at the part where it's requesting the PCI\VEN of the nvraid driver. When looking through the...

Installing WinXP with a raid setup on the Asus A8N-SLI motherboard. My question is about loading the raid driver during XP setup. I just built this new system and I don't want to install a floppy drive if it's at all possible. Is there anyway to load the raid driver from another media besides...
Sorry to bump an older topic but I just got this monitor yesterday. I'm loving it so far. Just have a couple of questions on it. I have it hooked to an Elsa Gladiac 920 (GeForce 3) video card which has no DVI input (only analog). I read where camera120 said to set the refresh rate at 60...
I have received a reply to my e-mail from Elsa. They told me to try the same things everyone here has had me try. They seem to think it's the motherboard since my card works in another system. By that token, I've tried a couple other video cards with the GA-8IHXP and they all work fine. I'm...
Thanks for all your help Belly. Unfortunatly, the BIOS they have at the site you gave me is the one I already have. I guess I'm just waiting and hoping that Gigabyte will reply to my e-mail even if it isn't their issue. On another note, did Elsa go out of business or something? Thanks again...
It's an Elsa Gladiac 920 (Geforce 3). I'm kind of tapped out at the moment, so upgrading the vid card won't be an option (it shouldn't be anyway). I've sent an e-mail to Gigabyte (this last Wednesday), just waiting to hear back from them. In the mean time, I've just kept my system powered on...
