    Dying for a new huge monitor

    I just can't seem to stay away from my 30 in Dell. I always have kept one on my desk while trying out other screens. My latest venture which was a 34" ultra wide, while a fantastic screen, ultimately ended up getting sold in favor of my 30. I managed to stay with the ultrawide for 2 years...

    Gave up on the Nvidia 352.86 drivers

    My Titan Z just does not like the drivers. I've tried a few clean installs over the past week or 2 and no third party utilities. Pretty much I just get random driver stopped responding errors and screen blanking. Ultimately I just reverted back to the previous whql's and my stability is back...

    thinking I might pick up 2015 STi

    My wife hates my 997. She thinks it's too small for the family to ride in yet I do it nearly everyday with two car seats in the back without issue. the trouble is that she bitches about having to always drive when we go somewhere. Being the nice guy I am I have agreed to move to another car...

    LG 34UM95 Hdmi overclocks to 60hz

    Officially the port is stated to run at 50hz @ 3440x1440. On a whim I decided to use EVGA precisions pixel overclock utility to see what I could get the refresh rate up to. Viola, 60 hz. was reachable and the difference was immediately noticeable. All you have to do is drag windows...

    Battlefield 4/ 5870 problem: solved

    I have a Windows 7 test bench rig with a q6600/Ud3P and HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 in it. I just installed BF4 on it to screw around and for whatever reason the video card stays stuck at 400 MHz and the memory doesn't clock up either. Tried a fresh install of the omega drivers with no improvement...

    Titanfall sli lens flare flickering

    Recently picked this game up and am getting awful flickering around light bloom sources. I have to disable a core on my Titan Z to make it go away. I found a video on Youtube of a user with the same issue right down to the ally cursor flicker too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZtWckUF71U...

    Anybody have a Titan Z bios?

    I'm mainly looking for a superclocked one to tinker with but I would also be interested in any vendor bios. I have a Z but my card is non branded and I'm wondering how my bios compares to a retail card. I have a strong feeling that mine is different based on how the fan curve and clockspeeds...

    Windows 8.1 excessive gpu usage

    Every now and then I go into the task manager and kill Reader, Stock, Flash, and other misc. apps until I get my gpu clocks to drop. This isn't a new thing either. Apps don't actually close when you close them. Windows tends to just let them linger in the background. I assume this is so I...

    Why is displayport a steaming pile of crap?

    Nearly every card and monitor I have had since displayport has been out has had issues. Waking the display is always a gamble whether it be from a deep sleep or just turned off due to inactivity. What gives? Why are there persistent lingering issues?

    Lava's new toy

    Sorry for the thread title but I'm just trying to give the thread a glimmer of hope. I think if the title said Titan Z anything people would have clicked just to hate. Been running her for a couple hours. Got a good deal on it from a forum member. Thanks Doug!!! So far running the card at...

    X58 question

    Why the heck are people charging such crazy high prices for 1366 boards? I've been trying to find one at a reasonable price but these 5+ year old boards cost more than most new 1150 and 1155 boards. What am I missing. Do they watch your kids for you or something ?

    Comcast cable box killed my Bravia

    Went to turn on the tv in the morning for my kiddos to be greeted with a TV that would turn on briefly ~15 seconds then go blank and start flashing the red led at me 7 times over and over. Fast forward a week and bought a new tv. Get home, plug it in..... no signal from the cable box...

    4790k's are old

    mine was minted week 31 of 2013. I haven't even installed it yet but just thought I'd share the info. I'll come back and share my thoughts. I have had 3 different 4770k's that all seemed to have sweet spots at about 4.3-4.4 before I had to push up the volts more than I'd like. Hoping that...

    Tri-fire!

    I love microcenter!! Price matched a 295 for me. This has got to be hands down the best dual gpu card I've run. Cool, Quiet, and most of all smooooooth. Paired up with my Lightning, these two run great. The temps are pretty much equal between the 2, about 65c each gpu. I'll be...

    Need help with an electronic part

    I need to know where I can find one of those things. I think it is a power inductor. I don't know what the specifics are regarding it. Any help would be great. Before I removed the one that burnt up, having the card plugged in kept the pc from turning on. After removing the...

    Name a card

    I want to put my collection to a little test. It may fail miserably but it just might turn out fun. Name a high end card from the past and I'll see if *happen* to have one. I know some of you are going to pick the most obscure card out there but that might be half the challenge =P

    Beginning to hate my rig -- microstutter!

    Just want to start off by saying stock or overclocked the problem persists. 780ti microstutter is a biotch. 4770k 780ti x2 Win 8.1 The only way that this thing feels smooth is to make sure frame rate is 100% locked at 60 with a frame limiter. Even if I'm at 60 fps with vsync it is terrible...

    Where are AMD pro'sumer and gaming card variants?

    As a AMD stock holder I'm quite disappointed how the company keeps missing what the competition just does better. How has AMD not realized that they need to release a "pro'sumer" cards too? This would allow them to lob off that compute performance that miners love about them, and just...

    Nvidia and 4k (Dell UP2414Q)- not quite ready

    Overall it works but..... I think the way MST works is causing me grief with my 780 ti's. The main trouble is that waking the monitor (UP2414Q) from a cold boot takes a few power cycles to get signal. When I press the power button on my pc, the monitors backlight kicks on then goes blank and...

    Sli mouse stutter

    I've been getting some bad mouse jerkiness that is related to sli and lower frame rates. I know it is directly related to the mouse and not multigpu microstutter because if I just move using the keyboard visuals are nice and steady. Desktop and in game menus are fine but actual game play is...
