    pci-e ssd how many lanes is it using?

    Conveniently it is indeed the 750 series, thanks. I got myself the toolbox, and current PCIe link speed is 0x3, and negotiated PCIe link width is 0x4. I guess that means it indeed has x4 available, and is currently using x3?

    pci-e ssd how many lanes is it using?

    Hi, I use gpu-z to check how many pci-e lanes are being used by gpu (16x, 8x etc), to check everything went ok with installation. I am trying to find out how do the same thing for my newly installed pci-e ssd. Does anyone have any ideas? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the bios...

    ESD question

    Hi, So I decided, seeing as though they don't cost much, to purchase an ESD wrist strap for when I'm poking about in my pc. I know some people don't think they are necessary, but I thought, why not, after another SSD died on me. It is one of the ones you connect directly to a plug socket...

    using unsupported older drivers on newer cards

    I googled SWTOR grass stuttering, and the fix on the SWTOR forums is to roll back to 327.32 (its not an SLI thing; it does the same thing with one card). But yes, probably isn't worth trying and wouldn't work at all.

    using unsupported older drivers on newer cards

    Hi, I'm led to believe it is possible to use unsupported Nvidia drivers on graphics cards by editing inf's. Basically, I have two 980's in SLI, and am playing a lot of the SWTOR at the moment. Its been reported on their forums by a few people that modern nvidia drivers cause infuriating...

    faulty sli bridge connector

    Hi, I just received two EVGA 980's, but when I first tried SLI I was getting red flashing lines. I've since figured out that the issue is the SLI bridge connector on either one, or both, of the cards. I.e the pair of connectors nearest the case. I've tried two different SLI bridges for...

    power supply question

    Hi, I am thinking of getting two r 290's in crossfire, and wanted to check my power supply wouldn't cause any issues. Its a corsair ax1200, so I assumed, at first, it would be plenty, but after checking here I am not so sure: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp I have...

    5820k v 4970k for gaming

    Hi, I have been googling for an opinion on this, but feelings have been mixed, and further muddied by understandably factoring in bang for buck. Money aside, which chip would be better for gaming? I can pick up a cpu/motherboard/ram combo for roughly the same price in the uk. Which...

    nvidia 980 8gb release date

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any idea when the 8gb of the 980 will be launched? I'm tempted to wait, if its probably going to be within the next couple of months. Would you expect EVGA to offer a step-up to this, from the 4gb versions? Thanks

    recommended >= 27 inch 1440p monitor

    Hi, I currently own a Dell 2709w 27 inch monitor, but want to upgrade to a 1440p one, either the same size or greater. It would be mainly used for gaming + general use, for under £1000. Having loved my current Dell, my initial thoughts were either the dell u3014 or the dell u2713h...

    nvidia 980 @ pcie 2.0 x8

    Hi, I fully appreciate the cards were only released today, so no one knows for sure, but from looking around it seems the last generation of cards are not saturating pcie 2.0 x8, e.g : http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Impact-of-PCI-E-Speed-on-Gaming-Performance-518/ And seeing as...

    nvidia 780 ti v 580 SLI

    How do you think 1.5gb would fare at 1600p/1440p? Probably not so good in most new games?
