    I wiped my drive...help recover!!

    After I calmed down a bit, I guess I'm not too worried, I have other backups on a raid NAS and online, just wanted to know for sure if there was anything major-league different on this Freeagent that I don't have elsewhere. I guess I will try a couple things like Recuva and Disk Drill, but to...

    I wiped my drive...help recover!!

    Well the Win10 media creation tool seemed to have formatted the Freeagent drive and installed its bootable stuff for the win10 install. Is there a tool or method you can suggest? Thx

    I wiped my drive...help recover!!

    Major brain freeze and my error here! I have a Seagate Freeagent USB backup drive which had lots of backup stuff on it. I was getting ready to upgrade to Win10, and the media creation tool gave me the option to save the files to a usb drive. Well you see where this is going.... I thought I...

    MultiMonitor (3) with HD 5850 Without eyefinity?

    Thanks guys. Eyefinity works fine in Win7 with the HD5850 using Dvi-Dvi-and DP. I got a cheap DP-VGA active adapter from Kingwin at microcenter for $20. Too bad it does not work in XP. I still dual boot due to legacy business apps on XP and have to switch one monitor back to the bad onboard...

    MultiMonitor (3) with HD 5850 Without eyefinity?

    Ok, I understand the basics of eyefinity, and for a 3 monitor setup, you need to use 2 DVI (or 1 DVI and 1 HDMI) PLUS 1 on the DP. However, I don't need a setup for gaming and don't need a unified desktop across all three screens. All I need is 3 functioning monitors that I can "extend the...

    5970 ATI need a little help....

    I don't know why I am so lucky with my HD 5970! With the 11.10 amd driver, I get a firm 60 fps in all areas of Skyrim. (I think the game is capped at 60 fps internally) Both gpu's are active as reported by MSI afterburner and radeonpro and each gets up to 99% utilization at the same time. When I...

    5970 Quadfire thoughts

    You'd be going for bragging rights....I have a single 5970 and getting 70+ fps in BF3 which is more than acceptable. There is too much tearing for my eyes and so I have turned vsync on anyway limiting to 60 fps at 1920 x 1200 with all settings maxed, but it is still silky smooth with the single...

    Crossfire and different generations?

    Hey just cuz you're a newbie doesn't mean you're stupid, you build your own rigs don't ya? Any way, afaik, you can't crossfire different generations, ie, cant cfx a 5950 with 6950. You can match within, tho, say a 6950 with a 6970 but it would default to the lower speeds. Since you already...

    Eldeer Scrolls Skyrim Crossfire Broken?

    When you say "see the difference" are you referring to graphically (visually) or to technically via osd? I created a profile both with AFR friendly D3D enabled and with no CFX tweak enabled, and both launched and showed 60 fps and graphically displayed activity on both cores with the cfx "bar"...

    Eldeer Scrolls Skyrim Crossfire Broken?

    OK, I will check out radeonpro and see what I find. I have not used it before and know that I must RTFM completely, but the only mention I saw regarding afterburner was this ..."loading of MSI Afterburner's overclock profiles". Just want to know if this will run side by side with my afterburner...

    Eldeer Scrolls Skyrim Crossfire Broken?

    Well I am running a dual gpu 5970 with 11.10 catalyst and skyrim is running stable at constant 60 fps with ultra settings. I think it is capped at that level. No issues whatsoever. Even the little crossfire logo pops up in upper right of screen to indicate cfx is active. Not sure why a single...

    Should I upgrade?

    That's a good ps. So it would just shut down. Other cheaper ps may spark and smoke...not a good thing
