    TiTAN and DSR? (under Windows Vista)

    I thought the most recent driver (344.48) rolled out DSR support for cards below the latest 9xx series. Yet, after installing the driver I don't see any options for DSR in either the NV control panel (general or program specific settings) or Gforce experience (where you supppsedly may have the...

    I recently built a legacy box for Windows 98 (for a few select old games). Does anyone now of any currently available software (free or paid) that is compatible with Windows 98 that I can use to make an image/backup (similar to Ghost or Acronis True Image)?...thanks.

    Quick (n00b) Question About SLI

    Does the Nvidia control panel that shows the installed programs have to recognize the game as being installed for SLI to work or is SLI automatically enabled with you start the game/.exe? Just asking because some (all?) Steam games don't seem to show up under installed programs in the control...

    A computer desk for a GDM FW 900?

    I am having a very difficult time finding a desk and/or table --- of any sort --- that I can use for a GDM FW-900 (weighs about 98 lbs). I need one without impediment in the foot-well (to place pedals for driving sims and/or leg room). I had been using a round (very) sturdy wooden dining...

    So did EA pull a UBI with BF3?

    It seems that with SP I can't play offline --- playing SP last nigth and got disconnected and all progress was lost and had to restart from the beginning. This morning EA is apparently doing service on their servers and I can't launch the SP in either online or offline mode. So it seems...

    Can anyone recommend a non Creative Labs sounds card that has a game port for use in a Win 98 legacy gaming box? -- I have an SB Live, but the installation disc is long gone and all I can get from the creative website seems to be the bare drivers?...so would rather try something else. Thanks.

    rebuilding an Win 98 legacy box

    I still have an AGP x800 xt PE and an AGP 6800 ultra --- but my question is are there any faster video cards (i.e., PCIE) than either of these cards that were compatible with Windows 98 that I can use for a Win 98 legacy box? I have done some research, but haven't found anything faster (that I...

    Am I missing something?...I have a quadcore 2600k and 580 gtx sli. Yet, the in-game options does not offer gpu transcode?...granted, I am using only the 275, so is this an option only with the beta drivers or is my install borked? (lastest Steam patch, if that make a difference)...Thanks

    Is this normal ATI/AMD CCC behavior?

    I have an LG 27" panel with a native resolution of 1920 x1080. However, with my 5970 with latest drivers/CAP profile under Win Vista 64 bit, the highest resolution under "basic" resolutions is 1680 x 1050. !920 x 1080 is only available under "HDTV" resolution as "1080p"...is this normal?,..why...

    Forcing 3D clocks on a 5970

    I have had this problem since getting these cards. Basically, with 5970 x 2 crossfire in Vista 64 bit, under DX10 these cards stay in 2D clocks with Crysis and Crysis Warhead --- no other game does this. Under DX9 both games work fine. But no matter what driver I have tried these cards seem to...

    What copy protection does Dirt 2 use?

    I got burned with Dirt (1) -- retail/boxed version -- even after getting all patched up (which was meant to address the problem) the game still will not get past the disc check on Vista 64 bit. Didn't want to bother to try the no CD checks...I uninstalled and used the Starforce removal tool...

    so cysis 2 flickers in full screen mode with multi gpu's?

    This seems to be a show stopper for me. 5970 x 2 xfired has awful flickering in full screen mode. It stops if you go to windowed though....but I don't game in a window. Hope ATI (or Crytek?) fixes this soon --- and their lastest profiles do nothing for this problem.

    how to fit an Xfi PCI 1x express card in a P67 UD7?

    From what I am reading it appears that the NF200 heat sink on the gigabyte P67 UD7 blocks the PCI 1x slot, precluding it's use with an Xfi. I know I can place it in the lower PCIx8 slot. But I am uncertain of a few things: 1) by going with a pair of X-fired 5970's am I already running the...

    why did the price of the 5970 spike?

    I thought I checked last week and 5970 and 580's were both around ~ $500. Why the spike for the 5970 if it is EOL with the imminent release of 6990's and 590/595's?...just curious. http://www.pricewatch.com/gallery/video_cards/radeon_hd_5970

    6990 x2 quadfire...what PSU?

    As the title states, if I were to pair up two 6990's what PSU would be required?...each card apparently requires two 8-pin connectors?, did not think there were any power supplies that had 4 8-pin connectors. Currently I have 5970 x2 and have a toughpower 1000W that has been pretty reliable...
