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.
I'm running a 290x with an Acer XR341CK and it handles everything quite well thus far. Not to mention having freesync helps if you want to crank up the visuals which may land you in the 40-60fps range. Also totally recommend the XR341CK great looking panel, a bit of light bleed near the top left...
Nvidia or AMD? Just asking because if he's using AMD then the Acer XR341CK uses the same panel as the Dell (pretty sure it's a Samsung panel so the S34E90C is probably using the same panel as well), but has a 75hz refresh and supports free sync. It's about $100 more than the dell on that same...
1.I would absolutely use watercooling on my gpu. I've been using a custom loop on my cpus for the last 5 years, not sure why I never bothered with the gpu to this point, maybe money?
2.It would depend on the added cost vs. what I'm getting out of it. Am I being afforded additional o/c...
My thoughts were that one of the CF links on the x2 would be taken up by the internal link of the 2 gpus on the board and that's why it's only got the one external link thus making it possible to link an x2 with 2 regular 3870s. Combine this with the fact that we've seen working CF between...
Just wondering if this is feasible, as the only case I know that can support 4 dual slot cards is the new Xaser and it's fugly. I'm thinking that 1 x2 might be able to CF with an existing set of 3807s, but who knows. Feel free to shoot this theory to hell.
For those of us that have purchased 2 3870s, given the nature of CrossfireX do you think it will be possible to use 2 3870s and 1 3870x2 to achieve Quadfire? I'm just thinking that it's probably possible and will still give us 3870 crossfire owners an upgrade path.
Dell has the Visiontek 3870 for $259 right now, but it's also 20% off, so it comes to like $207 before shipping (which is also free) and tax.
I just paid $448 for a pair after taxes and shipping, but I don't think they are in stock yet as my ship date isn't listed until 12/7 so buyer beware.
1.) I'd throw it in this MSI K9A Platinum I have sitting on my desk and see if it can clock higher than the 5000+ B.E. I Have installed in my other K9A.
