    Do YOU have Problems with YOUR RTX card?

    Registered a new account because this is relevant. (Have an old account, but young me was stupid and I can't recover it). Kyle is a cool dood. TL;DR: Purchased two 2080TI FEs. Had to RMA one. Currently using the replacement card by itself and I've experienced one BSOD so far. 0323 serial...

    upgrade my i7 975 to a 980X?

    For what it's worth, I've been seriously considering selling my 980x lately (among other parts). Ever since I started my career, I don't have the time to deal with this crazy impossible-to-move-anywhere desktop of mine, nor do I do any of the stuff I originally needed it for .. *on a laptop*

    XFX Radeon HD 6990 Drawing!

    I, like many others, like XFX's warranties. And the 6990 is a beast!

    i7 2600K Cinebench R11.5 - orly?

    980x at just a hair under 4.2 gets 10.38

    This much CPU horsepower for a freaking website????

    Yeah, that site is real CPU hog. Usage got up to 12%, and that's on a 980x @ 4.2ghz and the whole 12 logical cores thing. Yeouch. Still, Flash doesn't suck THAT badly. They must be doing something like realtime 3D on those phones instead of a bunch of pre-rendered sprites. Or it's just coded...

    480 To 580: Who Has Made/Is Making The Move?

    Sticking with my dual 480s. Like a couple others, I already have them water cooled and heavily OC'd. Messing with my water loop would be a huge pain in the ass right now too.

    Cheap 4GB DDR3 - where to get?

    Hm, that would be a nice deal, but the T&C on the rebate form says "Only one rebate per qualifying purchase and limit one rebate per household.". I won't pretend to be an expert on fine print semantics, but only getting one $40 rebate would put it at the same price as the GSkill

    Cheap 4GB DDR3 - where to get?

    24GB DDR3 1333 (3 x (2 x 4GB)) for $480 shipped It's what I have and it works great. Been running it slightly overclocked too (Around 1410MHz). Hell it's even $100 less than when I bought it two months ago. I wasn't keeping track or anything, but at some point, high density memory modules...

    SSD RAID 0, anyone?

    3 x Intel x25-M on an ICH10R. Upgraded from a 640gb WD Caviar Blue and not looking back. Now every time I use a computer that doesn't have an SSD, it's unsavory. Some games hardly benefit from it for some reason, while others will load instantaneously. I do plenty of 3D rendering with...

    RAM Issues on X58 Boards

    EVGA X58 Tri-SLI, 24GB installed, Usually 16GB detected but sometimes even 8GB or 22.5GB. Some software would say I was only running dual channel. This happened on two different sets of memory (G.Skill and a generic brand. Have two threads here and here detailing the problems). Dicked around...

    I want the straight story: how hot and loud is SLi GTX 480?

    Loud enough to push me in to water cooling. I could hear them through my Logitech G35s while gaming (The headphones cover your whole ear and do a good job of blocking noise). I took off my headphones in the middle of some gaming and came to the realization that it sounded like a freaking vacuum...

    Good Card for CS5

    I can vouch for this. After Effects CS5 is 64bit now, so you can really eat up as much memory as you want. It's one big reason why I jumped to 24gb. Spoil yourself with that RAM preview, man ... :p

    AX1200 just destroyed 3 SSDs, 1 HDD, life?

    Just a quick update. I haven't been able to make time to work with the Corsair reps with my problem and have a couple emails that have been awaiting my response. I'm also yet to make any attempt to recover the data from my HDD (The SSDs are long gone, but might make neat business card holders)...

    Anyone regretting their 980x purchase?

    Obviously it's going to depend on what you're using it for, but I don't regret it at all! This baby does rendering significantly faster than what I upgraded from (i7 920 @ 3.6ghz) and gives me a huge return on time. I didn't do any comparisons before selling off my 920 but it's easily 50+%...

    One of the many reasons I love EVGA

    Just got two codes for my two 480s. Thanks again for the heads up! Now: To get enough time to actually play it
