    In-Game flicker after RadeonPro installation

    Tried running the game in windowed mode and it works perfectly fine. Which, IMO, means its not a hardware problem. Also, the fact that I have the problem in other games is what bothers me the most, since I only used RadeonPro to make a Skyrim specific profile, I don't see how it could affect...

    In-Game flicker after RadeonPro installation

    Ok I did everything and I still have the problem. Its strange its like one card is sending the correct frame but the other card is not so every other frame is "off" and it flickers between the correct frame and the "off" frame but only when the game is paused or in a menu. Is it possible for...

    In-Game flicker after RadeonPro installation

    So I installed RadeonPro because I read that it'd help improve Skyrim playability with XFire until ATI releases a CAP which includes Skyrim. Afterwards, I got a weird yellow screen flicker during gameplay whenever I paused or looked at the local map. Figured it was some weird XFire glitch and...

    editing boot.ini

    I'm trying to manually add a line in the boot.ini file to allow booting into my RC2 version of vista. My XP install was corrupted and I fixed it, but now Vista does not show up in the boot options, and in order to get it back i need to add a line, but i don't know how to identify my Vista drive...

    X1900XT -> XFire or 1GB -> 2GB RAM?

    I am using DDR RAM, but I really don't see a need to upgrade my A8R32-MVP Deluxe + Opteron 165 for a while. I am pro-AMD and AM2 doesn't tickle my fancy. Just FYI the RAM i was looking at is Corsair TWINX2048-3500LLPRO.

    X1900XT -> XFire or 1GB -> 2GB RAM?

    depends on the game...but i like to go for the highest possible without sacrificing fluidity. Newer games that usually means 1280. I have a CRT so i'm not bound to a certain res

    X1900XT -> XFire or 1GB -> 2GB RAM?

    I have an X1900XT and 1GB of RAM. Should i go for the Xfire card or buy 2x1GB sticks of RAM? Which would be more beneficial?

    Will video cards really be 300watts?

    I read somewhere (probably on AT) that the next generation of video cards is going to increase in wattage yet again, but after that there shouldn't really be any increase. Also in the same report there were pics of a separate PSU for just the video cards which sat in the 5 1/4 drive bay.

    Are Hi-Def movies (hd-dvd/bluray) 16:9 or really widescreen like dvds?

    Out-of-aspect video annoys me 1000 times more than a couple inches of black on the top/bottom.

    Here comes the dreaded price cuts..

    So AMD has the performance lead but are too expensive. and Intel has less impressive chips but they give the most bang for your buck. What's happening with the world these days?

    Video stutters w/ X1900XT

    I'm under the impression that 4 x 512 is worse than 2 x 1024. Is that true or am I wrong? Also, ctrl-alt-del during oblivion crashes it....it doesn't like it when attention is taken away i guess.

    strange crashes->burnt pins->HDD failure?

    the solder joints look fine...but that doesn't really mean they can't be loose. But for the plug to have a burn mark where it is, it would seem that the loose connection is within the plug itself. If the solder were loose it would appear burnt at that juncture instead, correct? But since this...

    strange crashes->burnt pins->HDD failure?

    yeah i've narrowed down the problem to a loose connection on the video card power connector, if i jiggle it ever so slightly while the computer is running (NOT recommended), I can hear all the fans skip a beat and i get a BSOD. So, idk whether the pin has a loose connection to the vid card PC...

    strange crashes->burnt pins->HDD failure?

    My computer started to crash whenever I started a game, so I thought the video card (or PSU) was at fault. Upon inspection, the external power connector (floppy style) to my 9800 Pro was clearly burnt on one of the four pins (the red wire, which is +V i think). So I switched around some power...

    getting new mobo + GPU; should i buy a new PSU?

    I'm planning to buy an Abit AT8 and a X1900 XT. System specs are in sig, the old PSU is an old Antec True Power 500 (20 pin, pre ATX 2.0), should i get a new PSU? Maybe a Fortron Blue Storm 500W? It seems odd to me that I'd be going for equal wattage than my old one, but it does have the SATA +...

    CPU Fan slows during gaming

    I recently upgraded my HSF from a Venus 12 to an XP-90 with a low noise 90cm fan. Now that my fan is quieter, I notice whenever my video card (9800 Pro, nothing spectacular) starts going strong, I can hear my CPU fan speed decrease. Could my PSU not be putting out enough power? or does the...

    Suggest Best XFire Mobo plz

    Yes it is 7.1, but it is AC97, not the HD Audio like on the Asus EDIT: "8 Channel Realtek ALC882 Audio, SPDIF" from the techpowerup review, newegg.com said AC97, i guess they were wrong.
