    Fuse blew in my house. Is my PSU ok?

    I don't have a multimeter. I have however check the volatges in the BIOS and they all seem normal although the DDR2 voltage is at 1.94v and I think it's supposed to be at 1.8v (my system is not overclocked). I've been running the computer all day and to stress it I had a heavy Crysis session...

    Fuse blew in my house. Is my PSU ok?

    No, you were lots of help. I think the reason the fuse blew was because there was just too much stuff on at the time. Tv's, lights, dishwasher etc... I have done a visual inspection and can't see any abnormalities with the PSU or Mobo and the computer has been on for a while since it happend...

    Fuse blew in my house. Is my PSU ok?

    Gaming PC

    Since you want the PC to play games at high settings for the next few years a 5850 should be your bottom of the barrel.

    Crysis performance question.

    Yeah I'll say bro. Very High settings are very possible on a 4870 @1680x1050. It's not a slow card by any means at that res.

    Crysis performance question.

    No. My 4870 is the card I use and those are the settings I use. The game is totally playable.

    Crysis performance question.

    I really don't know what the big deal with Crysis is. My comp runs it with everything on Very High (execpt shadows set to High) and 4xAA at 1680x1050 with no slowdowns. The thing about Crysis is that you don't need high FPS to experience smooth gameplay. So just run it, enjoy the game and play it :)

    Why is my 4870 using my RAM?

    Really even on Vista? So is the 4870 not actually using my system RAM?

    Why is my 4870 using my RAM?

    Look at the screens I have posted and you'll see that for some reason my 512mb 4870 is using shared memory! Why is this? It has 512 dedicated. It seems to be using the Hypermemory feature found on crap budget video cards. Is Windows and the Cat Control Center wrong?

    Do you upgrade out of necessity or just for something to do?

    Gaming was meant to be an example ;)

    Do you upgrade out of necessity or just for something to do?

    I've noticed that computers are pretty fast these days and it got me thinking about upgrades. Do you actually upgrade because you're computer is not performing or just because you either want to or feel you should? Be honest now. Also, is there anyone here who has built a really fast computer...

    Noisy 4870. Adjusting fan speed?

    Will that work with an ASUS card?

    Noisy 4870. Adjusting fan speed?

    My new Asus 4870 is very loud considering it only has a single slot cooler. I downloaded GPU-Z and it says that it's running at 50% (2600rpm) at the desktop. I'm wondering if it would be safe to turn it down to say 30% and leave it there, not just at the desktop but under gaming load too. Or...

    4850 vs 4870 = confusing Resident Evil 5 benchmark result.

    You could be right about the clock rates. If you look at my Variable bench marks when 4xAA is turned on the 4850 lost 11 fps and the 4870 barely lost 1 fps. So I guess that's where the difference will be noticed. When AA is turned on. AA performance is where I found the 4850 lacking which is the...
