    Help Understanding SLI & Crossfire Options

    He is saying that no configuration of dual ATi graphics cards working in tandem is possible. There is a lock to prevent you from running Crossfire on your motherboard. To keep your existing video card, and add a second video card, you would need a different motherboard, which suports Crossfire...

    vantec tornado fan

    That yellow wire is only the speed sense wire, it only tells your motherboard how fast the fan is spinning. You need the red & black wires to go into the fan controller. Depending on the power draw of the tornado, and what the limits of your fan controller are, you could cut off the molex...

    UNIQUE Video Artifacting Problem! About to quit with computers...

    Might seem silly, but try running without a cd/dvd drive plugged in, or with a different one that you tried before. A friend of mine recently had a problem where it took forever to load windows, and it turned out to be his dvd drive, even though there was no disc in the drive on bootup...

    is it okay to run CPU without heatsink/fan?

    Did you drain it out of the oil pan beneath the car or out of the pan AND then engine? Draining the pan and turning the car on, while not the brightest idea, probably will not damage the car if you just turn it on for a minute. Similarly, running a heatsink without a fan, while not a terribly...

    Voltage Help

    My understanding of the 7800 series is that it is not adjustable in BIOS at this point, or with software. A hardmod is the only way. And, to be honest, unless you're willing to do a hardmod and understand what you're doing to the card, it might not be worth it to up the voltage on your card. You...

    Fry's and Video cards

    Not that he should have followed you around, but, I personally love it when people who obviously know everything come in and put me in my place. People seem to work under the assumption anyone in a retail store is an idiot. Remember, there is always a bigger fish, always someone who knows...

    Fry's and Video cards

    Seeing as how I'm in sales, I might have some perspective on this. I don't mean to flame you, but I don't think you're a good sales person. Not everyone is. A good salesperson will use all three of your options listed above, when appropriate. Sell you the product you're looking for Your...

    Perpetual FS/FT/WTB/WTT Thread:~: (v. OnGoing, Free Stuff!!!, Combo's!)

    man, what the hell! do all of you tech dorks have the same pants! I mean please, is there some kind of secret store that you all shop at in the middle of the night? I can't get my boyfriend to come to bed and I just thought he was in these places chatting about computer junk, and now I find...

    Release date for PPU yet?

    Not that I'm terribly knowledgeable in physics programming, but I think a lot of people are overlooking Aegis' SDK. Any 3d game must have physics programmed in, creating a physics engine. Aegis is handing a game developer that wants to use it a physics engine. Not only is it your standard...

    Is computer gaming is expensive?

    Can you find me a processor for under $100 that will let me play a game on one monitor and do something else on a second monitor (Browse the web, play solitaire, whatever), with absolutely zero lag? How about finding me a gig of DDR1 memory for under $100 that will do DDR-660 speeds...

    Is computer gaming is expensive?

    Gaming is not expensive. Gaming at high quality, high resolution is expensive. Similar to driving. You can get a car for $2,000. Or you can get a Ferrari for $100,000+. All depends on what you want from the experience. I'm sure Ferrari owners will tell you that driving your Honda isn't really...

    Wow... the Canadians gave me another reason to hate them!

    You lock your doors at night because of Bush? Or is Bush responsible for violent crime? I'm not sure what you're getting at here, and I'm not sure political comments have a place in this thread... Astaroth

    Ageia PhysX - Another Kick in the Wallet

    That arguement is flawed. Saying that processors don't struggle with physics is is more like saying before 3d accelerators, 2d wasn't a problem. The whole benefit of these cards is not making current physics faster - it's being able to use massively more amount of objects. And to those who...
