    Installing an AMD card and drivers - Help me

    My 7950 just came in for my i5 4670k build. I had my old gtx 460 in there up until now. I put the 7950 in and turned my computer on. Fans on the gpu were spinning, but the monitor didn't turn on. Reinstalled Windows 7 to make sure the nvidia drivers were wiped, but no luck. Tried taking the...

    New build. Safe to install both AMD Radeon and Intel video drivers?

    I just ordered a 7950 for my i5 4670k build. It didn't work. The monitor didn't turn on with the card plugged in and I couldn't install the latest drivers for amd. I reinstalled windows 7 to completely wipe the drivers, but that didn't help. Did I mess something up or is the 7950 dead? The fans...

    Overkill for 1080P gaming?

    Not overkill, but it's not worth it imo. 7950 for $190 AR is king for 1080p. When overclocked, it should get 70+ FPS in BF4 w/ ultra settings (No AA). Mine should be here Monday.

    OC'd 7950 vs OC'd R9 280X

    I've decided on getting the R9 280X. Shopping for a brand now if anyone wants to help.

    OC'd 7950 vs OC'd R9 280X

    Okay. So the R9 280X 'wins' by default because it's simply faster. But is it $100 faster? I can't decide between the two cards. I can afford either, but I don't want to waste $100 if it's not substantially faster than the 7950. I plan on overclocking both my i5 4670k and GPU. Regarding the...

    280x or 7950; Intel or AMD?

    Well, you're really convincing me to get the 4670k. I'm having problems with my secondary monitor on my current set up. I will most likely upgrade the GPU in a couple years & It's pretty much guaranteed to work well in BF4. The cost of the 4670k with the msi g41 is $290 after tax. If I replace...

    FX 6300 in Battlefield 4

    I'll try it without at first then. I use headphones anyways.

    FX 6300 in Battlefield 4

    Thanks. I'll get 1866 ram since it's on sale for the same price as 1333. Do you think I'll need the 212 EVO if I'm at stock voltage? Saves $33.

    FX 6300 in Battlefield 4

    >I'm stable @ 4.0 1.35vcore at load max temp is 42c. I'm also stable at 4.3 1.44vcore at load max temp is 53c. http://www.overclock.net/t/1418383/fx-6300-ga-78lmt-usb3-rev-5-0-overclocking-so-far/10 It seems pretty solid to me.

    FX 6300 in Battlefield 4

    Well. Microcenter doesn't have any 8320 bundles with a mATX board & an ATX sized mobo for overclocking starts to be around $100 more. Then I have to upgrade to an ATX case. But I guess I could always sell the FX 6300 and buy an 8320 if it doesn't work out.

    FX 6300 in Battlefield 4

    It's $40 more. This build is starting to get out of my price range so I'm going to cut some costs. I found a modular seasonic m12ii 620w on sale for $60 shipped at newegg so I ordered that just now bceause the sale expires today. My brother is giving me an his 7200rpm 250gb hdd he doesn't...
