There's a review somewhere in Norwegian or Denmark can't think exactly where right now but they go over the nitty gritty details like who actually makes the panel. Samsung just builds around it and rebrands it but the same panel will be used when Asus releases their version of a 4k 28" TN...

As an owner I can't say 100% if Samsung uses a special version of MST or if the TCON on the monitor is strong enough to do 4k 60hz natively. I know dp 1.2 specs say that MST is required but when I look under monitor properties in Catalyst Control Center there's a blurb that says Multi Stream...

Hey karlitos sorry to hear that you're still having trouble with your multi display setup. If you want an opinion on 4k gaming with 290x I recently got the Samsung U28D590 and it's a great monitor for gaming although not as sharp as the IGZO screens but a fraction of the cost. I'm also using...

I've been following this thread Karlitos. I'm on OCN with the same user name but I have a trifire 290x setup but only using one 4k monitor through displayport and working fine. thinking about adding more eventually for 4k surround but wanted to see how it was working out for you with 3 1440p...

Hey everyone this is my unigine valley run. Second run I had with the benchmark. Was only using heaven prior. 290x X3 watercooled 1. Sapphire Tri X OC 290x 1215/1500 hynix 2. Sapphire 290x ref 1150/1350 elpida 3. XFX 290x 1250/1550 hynix

Owner here as well. I have the reference 290x from Sapphire. I use sapphire's trixx over MSI AB purely because AB seems to ramp UP to my OC setting of 1130 core while holding the memory at 1400 while trixx keeps the core at 1130 and memory at 1400. I notice an average FPS delta of about 10...

FYI it was indeed the sata data cable. First time I've ever gotten a bad cable.

The only thing the SSD will change for games is how fast the loading screens are. Won't affect performance as I have played the same games via mechanical and SSD and have not noticed any performance difference other than loading times. If you have a big SSD usually 256gb or above I don't see why...

Thank you will know for sure when I pick up a new one after work. Yes this is a SATA 3 SSD and I connected it to a SATA 3 port on my mobo, same type of port that my samsung is connected to.

Hey everyone, I recently purchased the Toshiba Q series pro 128 gb ssd as a secondary storage for my PC. When I plugged in the Sata 3 cable to my mobo and power cable my computer won't recognize the drive anywhere. I even tried a different sata 3 port for the motherboard. Then I used a USB to...

Thank you for the suggestions jolancer and steltek. I switched out the mobo from the gigabyte to an ASrock z77 and the new card works perfectly. My power supply is an Azzatek 700w and all the power connectors were plugged in prior to switching. I tried the other slot (it's only pcix x4) but it...

THANK YOU EVERYONE! Switching the SATA setting from IDE to AHCI seemed to do the trick. No data loss either : ). Now, one last problem. My initial intention before all this happened was to check if my video card had died. Now I'm suspecting it is actually the PCI express slot that is no longer...

Thanks for the comments all, I do appreciate them. Will check out the SATA settings tonight after work again. I don't have anything critical that I would need to recover really. Mainly a bunch of papers and reports when I was in college and some games installed but that's no biggie. All my...

Well I had a chance to remove the battery and reset the CMOS, however now I've run into a much bigger problem. I get display through to Bios and loading screen but run into the BSOD everytime. Tried windows repair which said it could not automatically repair the system. Then I tried windows...

Thanks for your comments Virgorising and jolancer. I will almost certainly try out the reset when I am indeed home. It's just weird again as virgorising said because I am perplexed as to why the onboard graphics are not being initialized when there is no discrete graphics in the rig. And yes I...
