    Skylake or 980 TI ?

    I remember seeing rumors a long time ago about Pascal slated for an early 2016 release, but have there been any more recent rumors? I don't think we will see pascal GPUs until at least a year from now. Mainly because of this.

    i7 920 x58 no longer passes prime at stock

    This. This. This. Best upgrade ever for >$100. I have the same Mobo as you, a P6T (non-deluxe, etc). I just upgraded to a x5670 yesterday from an i7-920. Reset bios to default, then upgrade your bios version to 1408, and then throw the Xeon in. Mine clocks to 4.2GHz at 1.246V. It takes 1.35V...

    1366 x58 Xeon Enthusiast overclocks club

    Just put my X5670 in today. Bought it for 12000yen (~$100USD). After loading into Win7 x64 Pro, 4GB of my ram wasn't registering in Windows, but was registering in CPU-Z. I re-seated the CPU and loosened the heatsink a bit, and that fixed it. One of the pads must not have been touching a pin...

    Who bought GTX980? Post your impression.

    ^ ^ We have the same CPU as well, an i7 920! Stop copying me! :P Also, I forgot to mention... I love how quiet the 980 is. It is much quieter than my 580 was. ...I think my 580 got louder after it broke and I had to bake it in my oven to reflow the solder though. I can't remember how loud it...

    Who bought GTX980? Post your impression.

    My GTX 980 just showed up today. I went from a GTX 580 to this card. I mildly overclocked it to +210Mhz core / +400Mhz memory just for now. My score on Firestrike was a dead 4000 with the GTX 580. With the GTX 980, I get 11174 now. Uniengine Heaven at ultra settings runs at 100fps+ With the...

    Nvidia 980/970 Availability Thread

    I live in Japan, and wanted to get a GTX 980 here. They are massively overpriced here though, at around 75000yen (~$700 USD): http://www.dospara.co.jp/5shopping/search.php?ft=gtx+980&sort=price+asc%2Csortno%2Cscore...

    Cost effective way to ship computer?

    I probably went about this the wrong way, but I moved from Colorado to Hawaii last year and shipped my computer with USPS. It cost about $100 shipped IIRC. Here's what I did: - Took out all HDDs and brought them with me on the plane. - Put computer into a big blue ribbermaid bin, emptied a...

    Acer HN274H 27" 120Hz Monitor

    I've had this monitor for a few weeks now, but I can't seem to set up the color and brightness well at all. My main gripe is with white saturation. I can't see 251-254 on http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php on any setting. I'm just using calibration sites like http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/...

    Acer HN274H 27" 120Hz Monitor

    @LucJoe Odd, it seems to have disappeared from Amazon.... They must have sold out like newegg, I'm guessing? It was an amazon purchase, but the supplier was Tigerdirect. Here's proof! EDIT: Yup, here it is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YCMEJU/ @Matrices It is really your...

    Acer HN274H 27" 120Hz Monitor

    ^ The game will always look horrifically bad when you set the depth to 100%. 30-40% is what you should have it at. What you should do is leave it at 30-40% depth, but adjust the convergence. This will make close objects "pop-out" from the screen. The default I think is ctrl+f5 to decrease...

    Who else misses these beasts?

    Ah, the Voodoo 2, my first graphics card. After using my parents 386 for so long, the idea of using a seperate card for graphics was so cool :) I miss those days...
