    Single 6950 2GB "Micro Stuttering" / Jittery Rendering (Video example)

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I tried everything recommended here short of reinstalling Win7 with no luck so far. I can say that the stuttering is more noticeable during mouse-look movement which seems to be consistent with most other threads I've seen regarding this issue. Someone else...

    Single 6950 2GB "Micro Stuttering" / Jittery Rendering (Video example)

    Swapped out my aging GTX260 for a shiny new Sapphire 6950 2GB yesterday and I'm about ready to swap back to old faithful. The best way I can describe it would be a lack of "interpolation" between frames. So far I've been able to confirm this issue in HL2 and Skyrim (don't have a whole lot of...

    Ok, I need some help with my K8N Neo4 Platinum BIOS version 1.A. Recently got a CACJE Opteron 146 with an AC Freezer64 Pro along with a new all-copper Vantec chipset cooler. I set the HT frequency to 4x, Memclock to 166Mhz, and FSB to 240Mhz. All stock voltages. It ran awesome like this for...

    Just slapped the Vantec IceBerq NB cooler in today and it's great. Perfect fit, no cutting or disfigurement required and DEAD silent. Got it from SVC by the way, good price and fast shipping. Remember: 99% of the time it's red pin facing power. :)

    OCZ 2GB PC3200 Kits???

    ZZF has three nearly identical OCZ 2x1GB PC3200 memory kits... all are timed at 2-3-2-5 and run at similar voltages. Could anyone enlighten me on the significant differences between these kits (ie. which overclock better, handle the most voltage, etc.)? I'd like to make a decision tonight since...

    Hey, I've been running on a Neo4 Platinum for about a year so far with minimal issues. Just recently the chipset fan started getting increasingly loud and I was wondering if I should attempt to RMA it and just get a new revised board and hopefully quieter fan or just to replace it?

    Corsar 2x1GB XMS3500 ProSeries Kit $259 AR @ ZZF

    Hey Mucker, awesome speeds man. What board are you running the modules on? After seeing that the G.Skill is $133 AR (plus tax in NJ :C) I would've kicked myself for spending double on the Corsair. I just wasn't aware the G.Skill was so beastly.

    Retail Opteron 144 for $140 and 146 for $165 @ Tankguys

    Ok, taking RAM out of the equation, what kind of clock speeds should I be able to achieve with the 146 on an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum with good air (say AC Freezer 64)? I'd be stepping up from a 3000+ Winchester BTW.
