    Can a mouse cause an FPS drop?

    Thanks for the reply! I checked out the DPC Latency Checker... I don't really see anything worth noting. I already tried a clean driver install with no change in problem. And the Dynamic Shadows option makes no difference. What could possibly be the mechanical/driver difference between my...

    Can a mouse cause an FPS drop?

    Hello. I have a baffling problem. I decided to load up Borderlands to give it another go. I have not played it since I upgraded my motherboard and GPU (see current specs below). I have a Sidewinder X8, and it works pretty well for all of my games, but in borderlands, as soon as I touch the...

    The best of both worlds: Cool & silent for music, then ramp up for gaming?

    Have you considered this? http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/vga/502/accelero-xtreme-7970.html?c=2182 These things are so dang quiet, I upgraded my stock blowers on my 6970's and even at 100% they were deadly quiet.

    I have v1.3 of the motherboard, so it has the Gen3 PCI-E. (Well, at least it says so on the box. :p)

    Post your Workstation 2012

    Shit, I am dumb... I guess I posted in the wrong thread. However, I recently graduated and spend my days looking for work, full time. So, technically, it is my workstation. :p

    LEETGION | Hellion Gaming Mouse Lucky Draw

    I have a sidewinder X8, the latest in a long line of mice that severely hurt my hand while playing. I would love a chance to test and review a mouse from that standpoint. :)

    GTX 680 In Stock Thread

    Ugh, right after I posted that there were ASUS 680s on newegg, my payment for one declined due to an address mismatch... and now I wait again.

    Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P - Overclocking

    With the f7e bios, the PLL OVERVOLTAGE option only has AUTO, NORMAL and a plethora of values. I was able to finally get the system to boot by setting the option to NORMAL. I played BF3 for a few hours last night on OPTIMIZED BIOS settings, hopefully the system boots normally when I get home...

    Corsair "Barebones" Christmas Giveaway!

    I have been building PC's since 1993-ish, and for the longest while I had hoped to have some sweet Corsair ram in my systems, but Corsair was always just out of my budget range. Unfortunately, I grew tired of system instability and crashes when trying to use my puter for recording audio, so I...
