    770 4gb Gigabyte $460 vs EVGA $510

    Yeah, but I'm feeling if it ever comes out, it'll be more like end of the year. I wouldn't mind waiting that long, but I have no assurance that the 6gb will even exist. And beside the 4 vs 6 gb deal, I'm also really miffed because kepler, when it was first released, was awful for gpu compute...

    770 4gb Gigabyte $460 vs EVGA $510

    I'm not talking about games, I'm talking about rendering scenes I modeled with millions of polygons and many large textures with a raytracer like cycles or octane which has to load an entire scene into the vram. Using Blender, which is like max or maya if you've heard of those. The scenes are...

    770 4gb Gigabyte $460 vs EVGA $510

    4GB is for rendering of 3D scenes with blender's cycles and / or octane render. I would need as much vram as possible. I'm so pissed at nvidia for prohibiting the 6GB 780. I'm not going to get a damn $1000 titan just for 2gb more ram. The worst part is it's not clear if they're ever going to...

    770 4gb Gigabyte $460 vs EVGA $510

    Gigabyte 770 4gb $450 EVGA 770 4gb $510 Seems like an obvious choice; the gigabyte has 5 stars on both amazon and newegg. I've been around long enough to know evga has the best reputation; I have three video cards, a mobo, and a psu from them. But in reality is there any reason to believe the...

    Audio-Technica ATH-M30 for 41.38

    k240 ought to be much nicer. It's in a higher price group imo (around 100, $72 right now on amazon though) and has a wider frequency response, but they're rated about the same. It's semi-open though, where the m30 is closed. That means it should seem to have a wider sound stage and enhance sound...

    WTB/TF

    If the other guy's ram doesn't suit you I've got a spare G.skill 3x2GB 1600 1.5-1.6V w/ the aluminum heat spreaders. It came in a triple channel kit but you can just use two of them. I don't know if I'd be willing to let it go, though, since it sells so cheap. You know you can get it on newegg...

    Does OCing CPU make RAM unstable?

    I OC'ed my phenom 970 to 4 GHz with a couple of G.Skill sticks spec'd at 1.5-1.6V 1600 9-9-9-24-2T but running at 1066 9-9-9-24-2T 1.5V for the sake of stability. I swapped out my G.Skills with Kingstons of the same exact specs (changed from 2 to 4GB sticks) and same settings, and all of a...

    News on 600 series supporting 11.1

    I saw that thread, the only responses you got were 'yes,' 'gpuz said so,' and the future-phobic 'herf derf new DX's don't introduce much so you shouldn't want them,' so i went looking for word from a more reputable source (I trust gpuz/techpowerup, but I wanted to see if nvidia had anything to...

    News on 600 series supporting 11.1

    I found this http://www./whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-301.42-whql-drivers-released/ which says this under bug fixes: So the 600 series should definitely have DX 11.1 support, right? And there was that slide on HardOCP of AMD saying 11.1 will come with a catalyst update, so it should be...

    Can anyone tell me what OpenCL is and why GPUZ shows it bugged?

    That's what I was going to say. Normally you get OpenCL drivers for all your non-cpu devices (really only gpus afaik). They don't make OpenCL drivers for the cpu, so it sounds like it's talking about an intel iGPU. Did you/can you disable the iGPU in the motherboard? You're using the 7950 as the...

    Does PCIe 2 GPU force all PCIe slots to use 2?

    AFAIK, you have to have all PCIe 3 parts to use PCIe 3 bandwidth, including the CPU, motherboard's pci slots, and GPU. My question is, if I had a mobo with several PCIe 3 slots, and I used a PCIe 2 GPU, would it force all of the PCIe slots to use vers. 2, or just the one slot? Does it depend on...

    How much power for a 955 stock and 5 HDD

    Well then my only question is on the reliability of the CX series... I feel like corsair introduced that line as their low-quality budget brand, and it seems to have higher failure rates than the other series (at least according to the newegg reviews). Looky Here. The Seasonic sounds more...

    How much power for a 955 stock and 5 HDD

    I'm making a server that's going to stay up 24/7. It's going to have a Phenom II x4 955 BE (125W) at stock speed, and up to 5 7200 RPM hard drives (Samsung Spinpoint 1TB, tom's says 8 Watts max). The processor may be upgraded to bulldozer later on as well, though that won't take more power...

    Memory support issue, advice?

    I bought a GA-78LMT-S2P even though the memory support list is dismal (only three 4gb sticks supported, none of which is actually sold!). I tried putting in a Gskill ripjaws 4gb stick, and it booted up and ran just fine, but all the tests I ran (prime95, OCCT, superpi, memtest86...) stopped and...
