Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I received my QX2710 from lovelypeople on ebay on Wednesday. Doing a pixel test, I found no dead/stuck pixels. The box actually had a round sticker that says "zero dead pixel." I did notice some backlight bleed, but it was only noticeable when I was really trying to find it (all black screen...
I guess it's normal for these. Here's the response I received:
Not a huge deal, it would have been nice to know beforehand though.
The setup is working great btw. S.M.S.L. SA-S3 to Polk R15 speakers and a C.M.O.Y. headphone amp when other people have to sleep. :p
Everything ha arrived and I got to try it out today. Works great!
The only strange thing is, when using the phonopreamps.com TCC TC-716, I can very faintly hear sound coming from devices that don't have their switch on. Not a huge deal, but I thought it was supposed to completely isolate.
I decided to go with the SMSL SA-S3 and use my mint can headphone amp.
That switch is pretty cool. Fully configurable input and output seems really useful, going to have to grab one.
Ok, so I just found the SMSL SAD-25. It's similar to the SA-S21, having headphones, but it also has a built in Burr-Brown PCM2704 DAC and TI NE5532 Op Amp. I think the headphones audio should be pretty good on this one.
Edit: Nevermind, it looks like this amp uses an unnamed amplifier for the...
Thanks for all of the replies, the info is much appreciated.
atarione, good call on grabbing cheap used amps, unfortunately I don't live alone and space is a bit of an issue as is heat and power. I'd prefer to keep it smaller scale. :) Also, the power switch on the back of the Topping is...
I'm setting up a classic console area in my apartment that includes a Sony PVM monitor. This means i need to get separate audio going (no speakers on the monitor). I've decided to go with a T-amp and inexpensive speakers (I love me some chiptunes). I also need to be able to use headphones at...
I guess basically what I'm asking is if the 4890 would just end up acting like another 4870 while crossfired to a 4870, thus making it overpriced in that kind of setup.
Would it be worth crossfiring a 4890 1gb with a 4870 1gb or would the 4890 just clock down to 4870 speeds? I've been trying to find information about this, but have been unsuccessful.
