    Gygabyte is selling more than Asus.

    I've always preferred and recommended ASUS motherboards for 15 years until I had a bad CS experience while trying to RMA my motherboard for a sound card failure that was not even a year old. I like their products, but they definitely need to improve their RMA process and CS before I'll buy from...

    Screen glitches on desktop and browser only

    I had this problem when I had my 7950. It was related to the stock idling voltage being to low. I bumped it up to 1v and the problem was still there but doesn't occur as often. I found when my video card was under full load while browsing the web it would not occur. Googled the problem myself...

    Looking for unlocked Sony Xperia Z1 compatible with Tmobile LTE

    Does anyone here know or can recommend a reliable source to purchase an unlocked Sony Xperia Z1 that is compatible with the T-Mobile (USA) LTE network? I've researched the required bands and frequencies for T-Mobile but most places offering the phone does not confirm compatibility with the...

    Decided to upgrade from 7950 to nVdia Flavor..

    I took advantage of the market craze and sold my 7950 to check out the 780 Ti which is nothing but awesome! If I were you I would go for the 780 which to me is more of an upgrade than a 770.

    Stay away from ASUS products.

    The Realtek on-board sound chip died on my Sabertooth 990FX R2.0. Customer Service is horrible. My first call was dropped after almost done going through their processes. Called again and had to do it all over again even with the same ticket number. This time for whatever reason they promised a...

    Gigabyte R9 290 Windforce on Newegg

    Agreed... as expected and disappointed. With all AMD video cards at all time high the green team prices don't look as bad right now. That will change eventually... but the question is when this coin craze will die back down. I have a 7950 right now, but will probably go play on the green team...

    Sapphire 7950 - flickering lines only when downclocked. Normal?

    No problem because I was very annoyed by this problem too so I feel your pain. If you bump it up to idle at 1v there shouldn't be any harm since the voltages bumps up above that on full speed anyway which in my case goes up to 1.169v. You can try a lower voltage if it fixes it for you at 1v...

    Sapphire 7950 - flickering lines only when downclocked. Normal?

    You need to bump your idle minimum voltage to something a little higher. For instance my 7950 was at 0.950v idle and flickered all the time. When I ran benchmarks keeping 100% load on the GPU in the background while browsing the web I don't get flickering. I bumped it up to 1.0v at idle and...

    Need Help With Sapphire 7950

    I've been dealing with the same issue with my Gigabyte 7950 WF3. I can replicate the problem by going into BF4 for a minute and quitting to desktop, then open a flash video or video file and my screen goes grey but I still have audio which means my computer did not crash yet and I'm able to shut...

    Creative Sound Blaster Z Retail - $64.99

    Yes they will especially within the 7 day time frame. This happened to me when I ordered a LCD from Amazon recently and got the difference credited back to my CC. Just open a concern with them.

    Seasonic X1050 1050W Gold Full Modular $140

    I want to thank the OP for this. I have a SS X750w which served me very well for the past 2-3 years but plan on getting a high end Crossfire setup in the near future which could put my PSU on the edge because I already have a power hungry AMD 8350 @ 4.7Ghz. I couldn't pass up this opportunity to...

    R9 280x xF w/ 7950--works backwards? O.o

    This is good info because I'm in the market to get another card to partner up with my 7950 too and it only seem logical to go with a 280X since the prices on the 7950s are crazy. I will probably wait another month or two to see how things pan out with AMD.

    [H]ardOCP & ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti DirectCU II Giveaway

    My current video card can't handle some of the latest DX11 games without turning down most of the graphic settings as it is the bottleneck at the moment. I look forward to use a more cool, efficient and silent video card. In addition, I've always wanted to see PhysX run on my computer rig! I...
