    7970/50. What are your temps/cooling setup?

    Asus 7950 DirectCU II Top 1050/1500 @ stock voltage Idle: 36C @ 10% fan speed (auto) Load: 69C @ 33% fan speed (auto) This is in a Fractal Define R2 with low airflow to keep things quiet. The gpu stays nearly silent under full load, despite the fairly warm case. My card appears to have a...

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    On my FX990 board they released a F6f beta that doesn't have the fix applied. You might want to check that the BIOS you loaded lists the updated AGESA code as a feature.

    ATI HD Raedon 5870, less than 15 fps on High for BF3

    There has to be something very wrong going on, my 5850 is almost at stock speeds, and at 1920x1200 I never hit FPS as low as the OP, or rushaoz. I run everything but textures at ultra, no motion blur, no SSAO or HBAO, and post AA only. I don't play on 64 player servers so I don't have a direct...

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    With any luck its fixed and you can keep the CPU in the machine. I am wondering if you have set yours a 4.7GHz, and not turned off APM, which will actually downclock the chip the moment it is under load as you are above the TDP of the chip. I can run my chip at 4.5GHz+ at 1.3v if I don't...

    FX 8150 on 890FXA-GD70

    I am not surprised that a 64 player server can bog down a quad core CPU. Your machine will be doing physics calculations for up to a couple thousand bullets/rounds per second, bullet impacts, any explosions, debris, and then add the sound processing for all of that. I even find that loading...

    E-350 for retro gaming and emulation

    Maybe, I have an E-350 laptop that can play most games, but I haven't tried emulation on it. There are actually quite a few modernish games that can be played on an E-350. A large portion of current indie games on Steam will actually run without any issue as well.

    Gigabyte F6f BETA reintroduced the problem, F6e still works perfectly. Hopefully the rest of you are fixed by now.

    Windows 7 AMD Bulldozer Hotfix

    Odd, the link worked a little while ago, I already have it downloaded. Its a 4.4mb file, no idea what it isn't available now.

    That sounds like it is working properly for you now. That is great.

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    Does it also fix performance issues in Deus Ex? I held off on purchasing the game since it didn't work properly at the time.

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    I actually decided against an i5-2500k build since the fx-8150 option was slightly cheaper and better in some heavily threaded situations. I had a malfunctioning Intel machine that went bad at the time of the FX launch so that sealed the deal for the AMD machine. It sucked hard when I had the...

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    The issue has been fixed by AMD already, Gigabyte has a beta BIOS for their 990FX boards that I have been running for a week and a half and the issues are resolved. My 990FXA-UD3 works with all the games I own that don't work for others with the F6e BIOS which has the AGESA 1.1.0.2 update. I...

    FX Owners, what's your OC?

    I am sitting at 4.43GHz on all 8 cores on a FX-8150 with voltage sitting at 1.42v. I can and have gone higher, but I don't feel like increasing voltage any higher. Also, fixed BIOS might help me overclock as the AMD Overdrive workaround on the Gigabyte boards caused unpredictable voltages. It...

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    I just installed the updated F6e BIOS for my Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 and the crashing problem went away. So it looks like the updated AGESA code and CPU microcode fix the issue completely. So with any luck this update will appear for other motherboards shortly. As a benfit, I can now shut off...

    Piracy and the Underground Economy

    I made a typo but cannot edit my post. The first line should read as follows: The author isn't trying to justify piracy or encourage it, but explain it in this instance.
