    R9 290x black screen

    Yep, still getting BSODs on my end even with the latest drivers, albeit only periodically--and less frequent than the 9.2 beta drivers. Went about a week after installing them before I had another BSOD though, and uninstalling/re-installing isn't making any difference. I'm thinking of...

    Memory Upgrade: Dual Channel for a Rampage III?

    Anyone know if this memory choice will work on an aging Rampage III Extreme? I've been scouring the net trying to see if the older x58 platforms can support dual channel memory configurations, but have been getting mixed messages. Been running 6GB of GSkill memory in triple channel since the...

    Cackling Problem with Auzentech Forte+HD 595 combo

    Ok, this is really throwing me for a loop. I'm getting this weird consistent cackling noise that's risen in frequency over the last few days and I have no idea what's causing it. It sounds like the beat of helicopter blades in terms of beat and repetition.. At first I thought it might be a...

    Problems getting PhyX to run with ATI on single monitor system

    Ok, just installed the Batman:AA demo and check the settings to enable Hardware accelerated PhysX, got a response saying it wasn't detected. But if it's supposed to work how you say then how large of a frame rate difference should I expect in order to tell the PhysX apart with and without the...

    New build up and running, looking to optimize for best performance

    Wow, i'm surprised I completely forgot about the software side of things. I re-installed Win7 about a week ago after re-formatting the SSD to ACPI so my OS is pretty blank. Are there any threads around with recommended software that my build could benefit from?

    Problems getting PhyX to run with ATI on single monitor system

    Ok, downloaded the beta drivers as instructed. Do I still need the hack then or what? I can't tell if PhysX is enabled or not.

    New build up and running, looking to optimize for best performance

    Specs are in the Sig. Just got this new build up and running about 2 weeks ago, which is the grace period I gave it to get any kinks or faults worked out. This is my first new build in 6 years and I really saved no expense in buying the best stuff, but i'm concerned that my...

    Problems getting PhyX to run with ATI on single monitor system

    Running a XFX 5870 as the GPU want to have a GTS 250 1 gig installed as the PPU. I have the GTS fooled into detecting a multi-monitor display setup in order to get PhysX to run, downloaded GenL's hack for the 196.xx drivers, but the wizard for it can't seem to get it installed. The PhysX menu...

    DirectX problem

    Ok, so I literally just got a new build up and running a few minutes ago. Everything seemed to be running fine so I thought i'd pop in Call of Duty and put my GPUs through their paces. Only problem is that the program wouldn't start. Ran dxdiag and it said that none of the DirectX 11...

    Anyword on the XFX 5870 Eyefinity 6s?

    Have been waiting for this brand of the new 2 gig 5870s to come out but haven't heard any word on them. Anyone hear anything about when they'll be available?

    5870 as GPU with a GTS 250 as PPU. Possible?

    I've seen some of the threads where people have asked if it was possible to combine an ATI and Nvidia setup for PhysX but I thought i'd just ask to make sure. I've been working on getting a new build together with PhysX in mind for future games and in fact already have a GTS 250 sitting in...

    Bite on the P6X58D or wait for the Rampage III?

    Ok, so i'm still undecided. Anyone have an idea on the release date for the Rampage III?

    Bite on the P6X58D or wait for the Rampage III?

    That the problem though, don't both Mobos have SATA 6.0 and USB 3.0? At present i'd say i'm leaning towards the A6X58D, but it's only out of a lack of knowledge on the Rampage. What advantages is it supposed to have that would make it the better pick (if not in support then at least in terms...
