    Eyefinity woes

    Wow... I didn't even know Monoprice shipped to Canada. I should REALLY have checked ahead. I feel stupid now. As for the rest, yeah I need to select them at least twice, often three, sometimes four times to get them on. I'm on 11.8 and the problem arose yesterday so it's unfortunately not fixed...

    Eyefinity woes

    I've been running a new setup with two 6950 2GB and three Dell U2311h monitors for a few months now and am getting really pissed off by the poor experience. When it works, it's awesome. The problem is that it tends not to work more often than not. I'm hoping somebody here can help out with a...

    2500K temperatures with NH-U12P SE

    So I've just completed my setup, first time I install an aftermarket cooler and all that. The system runs fine and dandy (boy is the U12P silent!), but Prime95 makes me worried a bit... After about 10 minutes, temperature across the four cores is around 55C in CoreTemp, while ambient...

    Troublesome Computer

    So I've seemingly run into yet another case of bad RAM, but I first need to detail my config and the background to this issue so that you can see where I'm coming from. My computer's been a bit of a troublesome one. Initially, the build was: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Asus Striker Extreme 2x1GB...

    State of Cross-finity

    Too bad we don't have direct control over the rendering mode anymore... Or at least I can't find any info on that.

    State of Cross-finity

    I've looked back at my plans thanks to your post, Elfear. The one thing I want to avoid is to purchase something inadequate that'll end up being a waste of money, so I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on two 6950 2GB in Crossfire instead. 4GB should be plenty for triple-screen gaming and...

    State of Cross-finity

    I have indeed read some more about AFR and microstuttering in general and now my question becomes simply: will two 5850 be sufficient to drive three 1920x1200 monitors with quality settings on most modern games so as to avoid microstuttering as much as possible (ie 60fps average at least)? I...

    State of Cross-finity

    Thanks for the answers guys, but again you can see the dilemma with one person disliking and one liking the ZR24w :biggrin: I didn't want to use TNs because IPSs are just so much nicer to look at. I'll also probably be doing some Photoshop and maybe even print work, so color accuracy is a plus...

    State of Cross-finity

    So I've been reading up a lot about this lately since I don't really want to invest such a high amount of money into a buggy product. I'm going to be setting up a new computer soon and I decided that rather than paying the big bucks for a latest-generation GPU I'd just CF my existing 5850 with...
