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.
My specs are in my signature. I'm debating upgrading my two 6870s to a single GTX 770. Would this be a worthy upgrade for me? I'm not ready to build an entirely new computer yet. I'm hoping to get another year or two out of this current computer as performance wise it's fine for everything but...
I'm really glad to see they're addressing this issue finally. I have dual 6870s and most games the microstutter is low but some games (Bioshock Infinite for one) never really felt smooth even though I was getting around 100 fps. I might just have to play through that one again.
If you go with the Xonar DX, I recommend these 3rd party drivers. Especially if you do any kind of sound work. The low DPC latency version of those drivers cuts the latency way down and the ASIO 1.0 version allows you to play music through foobar with ASIO and not silence all the other sounds on...
I'm hoping to upgrade to Haswell if the figures look good. I'm running an i7 920 still and I think the boost I'll get will be worth it to me with this gen.
I would disagree wholeheartedly on this one. Sure, the games that have come out lately haven't been pushing things graphically very much but a lot of very fun games (imo) came out last year and are coming out this year. I love shiny new graphics as much as the next guy but gaming is way better...
As posted by Bashiok here 4600 and up cards should work fine, and those running XP need not worry at all. So, don't revert your drivers unless you are running an older card on Vista/7.
Generally one error does mean to replace. They'll probably have you send the whole set back in. I'm assuming you are running the correct timings listed for the memory right?
Here is the current CPUZ validation. I set RAM to 1.5 since the specs for this RAM list 1333 mhz as being 1.5v. Went through 5 iterations of p95 without crashing but the temps did strangely drop to 46C for a few seconds during the test and then went back up. Could just be a CoreTemp bug though...
I'm using an i7 920 D0. I've used 1.18v on the CPU and 1.65 on this RAM at 9-9-9-24 when I had 6GB. I recently installed another 6GB kit and the same overclock still is producing good results so I figure that I didn't have things as tight as possible before, so I pushed the volts to 1.15v and...
Agreed. I ordered a new hard drive since my 500GB filled up and had to order another 6 gigs for my machine. No sense not with prices the way they are at the moment.
If they (AMD) don't fix this before launch I'm going to lose a lot of respect for them. Like Superhuman said, this is the release of the year. I'm going to pre-download the 12.3 drivers just in case but I hope that a CAP will come out before the 15th to fix this.
