    Can RAM quality limit my overclock

    'm just getting into water cooling and I don't want "performance" ram, I just want ram that won't limit my overclocking of the CPU. I'll happily under clock ram if need be. BUT, can my CPU overclock be limited by my RAM? Thanks, JOe K.

    Nvidia: 3d settings for dual gpu single card

    I guess I'm asking does the card natively run in single GPU mode according to the driver OR does the card run in SLI (according to the driver) but just consolidated on one card

    Nvidia: 3d settings for dual gpu single card

    So if I were to purchase a dual GPU, single card card, in the 3d settings for the driver is it set to single GPU? Thanks, JOe K.

    SLI not fully disabling on Manage 3d settings for App

    I am running MPC-HC (media player) and have the manage 3d settings for that exe as Single GPU. However, the only time I see the actual performance gains is to literally disable SLI globally. It seems as though disabling it on the application level is not working. I can tell because I get...

    Good Arcade Battle Racers Recommendations

    I was just at a Gameworks arcade and they had this cool monster truck game where all the trucks were highly animated/exaggerated and had guns. Are there any PC games that are like a tuned up Mario Kart? Not a big fan of general racing games, add a few weapons and I'm golden. Thanks, JOe K.

    I use steam big picture mode and sit 8ft back from my 46" LED.

    1080p vs 720p gaming

    Is there a difference between 720p and 1080p during 10ft mode (i.e. I'm sitting 8ft away from my machine)? I'm playing far cry 3 and I keep switching back and forth and I can't see the difference but maybe its not switching?

    Can't get above 1202MHz with GTX 670 OC

    can I turn power management back on after the overclock is finalized?

    Can't get above 1202MHz with GTX 670 OC

    power offset in precision X software? If that, maxed out to 112% and 1150mv. Otherwise, max I can achieve is 1.175 (I think)

    Can't get above 1202MHz with GTX 670 OC

    The max temp was on average 57 and didn't get above 60. I have the Gigabyte card with 3 fans.

    Can't get above 1202MHz with GTX 670 OC

    The problem happened during testing: I have vSync turned off. I'm using Unigine Heaven so it's using everything it can.

    Can't get above 1202MHz with GTX 670 OC

    It doesn't crash. It just levels off there. If at 1110MHz, I'll put +92 and it goes up to 1202MHz, between +93 and +125 it's still at 1202MHz.

    Can't get above 1202MHz with GTX 670 OC

    I have a Gigabyte GTX 670. When using Precision X to overclock the max I can get is 1202. It's stock boost is 1100MHz. Is there a way I can go above 1202? If I put the core offset at +92 or +125 it still only goes to 1202MHz. I have the voltage settings maxed out (1.175) Any idea why it...

    Batman Arkham City Performance/Settings

    That’s a great point. I’ll have to weigh the costs. With a new GPU, I may need a new case and PSU. With a new setup I’ll need a new Mobo, Cpu and fan. The second option is more scalable. I’ll probably roll that way. Thanks for helping!

    Batman Arkham City Performance/Settings

    Wait, so I can have two cards not in SLI and one just dedicated for PhysX? That would be worth it because the GTX650 boost only like $160

    Batman Arkham City Performance/Settings

    makes sense. guess I could wait until my Haswell upgrade this summer. If I upgrade to a Haswell do I even need SLI for PhysX performance?

    What about this a solution for the PhysX issue?

    Batman Arkham City Performance/Settings

    How so? Is it because I meet the requirements and the AA doesn't impact the performance in this regard?

    Batman Arkham City Performance/Settings

    Is it possible for me to get a smaller graphics card to run in SLI dedicated for PhysX? Perhaps run my GTX670 with a (much cheaper) GTX650Ti Boost or GTX660? I figured since 1 will be dedicated for PhysX for games it may not matter if they're different.

    Batman Arkham City Performance/Settings

    I have a GTX670, 8GB of RAM, Win8 x64 and an SSD. My weak link is an LGA775 Q9650 running at 3.0GHz (can't overclock on my mATX board). From what I understand the CPU doesn't really make or break game performance. It's mainly the GPU I'm using the Benchmark tool in the game to get the FPS...

    Firewire graphics input

    I am trying to use an iMac as a monitor for my PC. The iMac only has Mini-DVI (Output only) and I want to be able to use it for my PC monitor. I don't want to have two 24" independent monitors on my desk (especially when they can't be used together). I'd rather have one 24" monitor. I'd...

    Firewire graphics input

    Is there a box where I can take a video signal from one computer and input it through the firewire or USB of another computer (with the monitor attached) like a laptop and use that screen? Thanks, JOe K.

    iMac 7,1 (early 2007) 2600HD, use iMac as monitor

    I recently inherited a 2007 iMac 24" with ATI 2600HD Pro GPU. I understand the only way you can use an iMac as a monitor is to have a late 2009 model. However, I'm wondering if there is an external box I could use to use it as a monitor. I have a PC workstation that is a powerhouse and I'd...
