    Why was my SLI AA thread locked?

    Rollo is God like. And before you call somebody a NOOB check your own doorstep. You are the absolute worst fanboy, and I do mean BOY on these forums. You give out advice that is really out of line. Uhh, Rollo?? I do believe that if I dig back far enough I will find YOU touting FX cards as...

    Why was my SLI AA thread locked?

    Rollo, You are biased toward nvidia. This is a known fact. Not wanting to start a fight or anything you were the same poster that slammed ATI in the last gen for not supporting some shader model that still has ONE, yes ONE game that uses it. I MAY be wrong but SM3 is a Doom3 thing. Uhh...

    Yellow power connector on X850XT

    It is for a front port video connector. Not very common in the states but in europe they are used. If you like your card don't supply ANY power to it. Fizzle, POP!

    PCI express and AGP on one card

    Yeah, I saw that a couple of months ago. I like the idea. Lets see if it is ever implemented. If so it would allow you to "buy now, upgrade later". There was also an agp-pcie bridge floating around. From the pics I saw of it you neede a low profile card to get it to work, or leave you side case...

    Was curious to see how stable my 3700 SD is undervolted to 1.35V

    Yeah, and then again I could just be damned wrong too.:) Seriously these things will run a decent OC at a very low vcore.

    Is it stupid to overclock AND run cool-n-quiet

    I was using it until I started running distributed computing. It was kind of useless at that point so I dropped my OC and trim the vcore. I had to do something. I was at 48*C. Now while folding the protiens I am at 44*C. Sometimes things make me wonder if folding is really worth it?? Then I...

    Was curious to see how stable my 3700 SD is undervolted to 1.35V

    My 3700+ will do 2464@1.275 V. Only when I go above that do I need to go up. Needless to say I need to change my sig because I am at 2464. Some San Diego cores are stock at 1.350 while others are 1.4 John. It is all in which one you get. Mine boots auto in the bios at 1.4v.

    AGP vs PCI Express

    That is not true. The 6800 Ultra and the X850XT crossed over fine to AGP, PCIE card held no advantage at all over the AGP versions. ATI is going to release PCIE and AGP versions of the R520 if they can ever get it launched. At that point we will see if the PCIE version is faster. So far the...

    Oh God, ban him for asking questions?? Maybe they are dumb questions to you but not everybody was born a geek. (I was) I don't see anything worth banning him over. How about a "ban the ripper thread?". It isn't like I would care. Sheesh!!!

    R520 is 600mhz, 32 pipes

    ATI is going to release in AGP as well as PCIE. This will be the final death release for AGP but at least ATI is going to do it. That has been pretty well cleared up. The major reason Nvidia isn't bridging is because Nvidia is making a killing on both parts, the Nforce chipset and the...

    R520 to be AGP and PCIE??

    I am no more CPU limited than 95% of the machines you folks are running.;) There are faster chips than mine but my chip is still lower high end and it is running on an AGP board. Now personally if I buy a $600-$700 graphics card I am going to buy a motherboard and go PCI express. The whole...

    R520 to be AGP and PCIE??

    :D Yep, one of the best there is. LOL I honestly think ATI will release the AGP version. If they do it will force the hand. I really don't care at this point because if I do buy a replacement for my 6800GT I'll replace my board. I am not going to continue to lag behind but there are people...

    OK, now I will have posted in 3 seperate threads about the same thing. ATI will force Nvidia's hand as I have been saying for 2 days now. Now, the inquirer is not hard news or anything I would stake my life on but they do seem to get it right more often than not. I'll post this link and take my...

    How does having AGP versions of future cards (highend) harm the consumer?

    I stated this in the petition thread but I'll do it again. Nvidia will need a push most likely from ATI to do any AGP this new generation. Nvidia sells nforce chipsets and if they can sell you a board and a card that is what they are going to do. ATI on the other hand has very few chipsets...

    How does having AGP versions of future cards (highend) harm the consumer?

    Not really, I have a 939 AGP board but having said that I don't care if they make an AGP version or not. If I am going to spend $500-$600 for a video card I'll pay an extra $100 and buy a board. I don't plan on upgrading for at least 1 year, maybe 2 at the longest. I am not hurting but by...

    Geforce 7800 GTX AGP Petition

    Somebody will do it. Either ATI or Nvidia. It all depends on who wants to sell the cards to AGP'ers. I am willing to bet they will both do a release. Nvidia will be forced by ATI I will imagine. After all Nvidia stands to make more money if allot of people buy Nforce based boards with PCIE...

    Geforce 7800 GTX AGP Petition

    This is pointless really, either Nvidia or ATI will see the market and release an AGP version this gen or they won't. I am laying in wait for the first that does it, until then my 6800GT is fine. Now if niether do it, by the time my 6800GT is no longer capable of playing the new games I'll...

    I don't know what an Intel fanboy such as yourself is worried so much about. I already said if you like Intel by all means stay intel. Why are you even butting in here and trying to slam AMD chips? You are only trying to agitate and doing a piss poor job of it. I am LMFAO at you. I know...

    Pentium D's use DRM

    "Moorhead, AMD's vice-president of consumer advocacy, dismisses consumer complaints that the ever-tightening noose designed to stop online piracy, known as Digital Rights Management (DRM), will erode existing rights. But he says AMD believes that these technologies should be "opt-in" - that...

    AMD broke the 1 ghz barrier and sold me on their tech. I haven't looked back. Not trying to post whore, I just forgot to put in why I tossed mt P3 600 mhz and went AMD. Intel then put too much emphasis on clocks and left out the fact that you could do the same amount of work with less mhz...

    Intel just plain stinks. This is the same company that was going to track their processors a few years ago. It will take somebody less than a week to crack that weak assed shit.

    AGP Mobo for Venice 3000?

    The Asus board will OC as much as your hardware can stand. I have just come from an Nforce3 and the Via boards are under rated IMO. Why do you think I left Nforce? Too many problems with them. Asus boards are solid and proven, DFI boards are great OC boards but they have their issues also...

    A8V Deluxe and new bios chip

    The board has a bios recovery option. It is next to impossible to total a bios flash on it. I have used the recovery on an A8N. All I can suggest is RTFM. It is in it how to recover the bios. I would look it up for you but I am not in the mood to work right now. :beer:
