Haha that room sounds as loud as my old celeron 333 that I used to OC and had a fan setup that made my computer sound like a jet engine, those were the days! I like the monitor setup and that, though I'll be honest I've never been one for the whole glowing craziness in the computers themselves...

850w Antec PSU (Earthwatts I think is the branding they use for it? or maybe that was just their branding for the 500w one I had) solid PSU and more than enough power. Xaeos - my issues is just what I've noticed when running several apps like GPUZ, GPU Observer, Afterburner, and the CCC Panel...

If you're using a 4870x2 the best drivers out for them right now are 10.5a or 10.8b, 10.9a still has issues with the 2nd GPU. If you don't need the new features or fixes that have been introduced in the past few patches (Flash GPU acceleration, VLC GPU acceleration, OpenCL to name a couple, SC...

The hotfix is a complete install and you can install it clean, or over top of another driver. I personally install everything clean and spend the extra 5 minutes it takes to do that. The hotfix includes more than just the drivers which is why there's a file size difference, it also includes...

I'm not sure about BFBC2 because I didn't play that one directly, however all the games I did play worked fine which was World of Tanks, Metro 2033, Bioshock 1 and 2, WoW, L4D2, Alien Swarm and I can't remember what else I've played since then.

The problem with that though is 10.8b fixed the 2nd GPU issue on the 4870x2, 10.9a however brings that same problem back and doesn't fix the issue at all. DX9 you'll see it increase, DX10 it stays at 2d clock values. From and end users point of view it just seems like they haven't honestly...

Just would like to report another issue with 10.8b and curious if anyone else is having the same Running a 4870x2 and noticing that in 10.8b I'm running about 10c hotter than I did in 10.5a. Anyone else noticing that? What would be the reason behind it? Fan is cranking at full.

I just tested that solution with WoW right now, seems to work fine. In talking with my friend he told me I should just stick to FPS games since there are no cursors for them ;) So the problem is definitely with hardware cursor because when I think about it pretty much most games I play have a...

I'll be rolling back to 10.5a but here's my current issue with 10.8b: Dual monitors enabled any games causes dropped frames / framerate dropping issues whenever I move my mouse. I dicked around with several CCC settings to no avail. The only solution to this issue is disabling the 2nd monitor...
