    Dell U2715H (new standard gamut model, successor to U2713HM)

    It had vertical lines during redraws or large parts of the screen, some kind of pixel inversion artifact. Failed pixel inversion web tests too. I couldn't unsee it, it looked real bad. I also couldn't enable ulmb in fullscreen games via OSD or nv control panel because g-sync wouldn't disable...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    I've had a ROG Swift running for about a week now. Having the same problem as this guy: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2LWBCPO49G2PG/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00LBZLIXG&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=340831031&store=computers Fine vertical lines when there is fast motion or panning on...

    Dell U2715H (new standard gamut model, successor to U2713HM)

    So either this is destined to be the all-around best 27" 1440p IPS made to date, or is not worth buying because the perceived blacks will be bad? Got it.

    Plextor M5 Pro SSD Review @ [H]

    I thought the V4 used a 9145 controller? Has anyone published evidence of it using the 9187? I don't really have good information on this. I am debating between the V4 and the M5P, and if the differences are NAND, firmware, and price... it may be tempting to go with the product which has...

    Micro ATX gaming build - comments?

    I may just roll with the Vertex 4; the controller is similar to the one in OCZ Octane drives and I am reading very few negative things about the V4. Even with Micron NAND it will handily outperform the Crucial M4, at the same price. It is good to hear about these things though. Maybe if...

    Micro ATX gaming build - comments?

    I updated the newegg wishlist link with the following changes: CPU: downgrade to E3-1230V2 RAM: change to Mushkin CAS9 1.5V 2x8 GPU: upgrade to EVGA 670 GTX 02G-P4-2678-KR (factory OC, exhausts out rear) SSD: change to OCZ Vertex 4 "M" as in micron NAND 512GB SSD was a really hard choice. The...

    Micro ATX gaming build - comments?

    I'm going to try and reply to everyone's comments while only quoting one post. Thank you for the replies, I appreciate them. Re: the Xeon. Benchmarks (and specs) put its performance at about the same as the i7-3770. I do not plan to OC, so a Xeon and H77 chipset is fine (and hopefully the...

    Micro ATX gaming build - comments?

    bump. 100 views, no comments? sad panda. Anyone had bad experiences with SF-2281 SSD controllers? I heard their write speeds for incompressible data are not good compared to the latest from Samsung, et al.

    I'm ordering new parts next week, how does this look? I think more gamers should build Ivy Xeon machines.

    yeah, between this and the other couple reports of problems above you, it seems like this is broken. Please send Intel and MS feedback so that it can be fixed for release!

    Windows 7 and AHCI. Anyone noticed problems in the beta with their new SATA drives in AHCI mode and an Intel ICHx board? http://derek858.blogspot.com/2009/01/windows-7-intel-sataahci-lockups.html that blog post indicates that Win7 comes with old drivers, and is not usuable for many/most...

    Ask an Intel SSD Engineer

    How do Intel SSDs handle wear-leveling? Is this expected to be a problem for systems which are mostly full but frequently write to "free" space (eg heavy temp file usage)? Do Intel SSDs do any kind of checksum calculations in firmware to confirm that writes are, in fact, written correctly...
