    Anyone successful with mixed res eyefinity?

    Has anyone had luck making this feature work? I'm attempting to create the following display group on an R9 290 using either 14.6 or 14.7rc3: Samsung 204b - Dell 3007 - Samsung 204b 1600x1200 2560x1600 1600x1200 (dvi2) (dvi1) (HDMI using approved adapter to DVI) All...

    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...

    I'm just glad they recovered so quickly from the industry wide shortage of flash after everyone who said they were waiting for $1/gb bought drives </s>

    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.

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

    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...

    AMD to launch new flagship Radeon HD 7970 desktop graphics card on December 22.

    That will be a LOT of refreshing for 19 days until the actual hardware is available. I'm pretty sure this is just a paper launch.
