Excellent articles thank you. Very helpful for us users considering next video card upgrade path.

Read the review and decided to purchase as I do trust your reviews. Here is feedback of my experience with the card so far. Despite the "SOC GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting" the ASIC Quality @ 64.1% is the lowest rated card I have ever owned, gutted! However with the f4 bios, stock voltage and...

This review piqued my interest in the GTX 780 /780 Ti range again. I hadn't noticed that prices have been falling (well at least for Gigabyte). The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 WindForce 3x "GHz Edition" @ £384 might be the best choice as it gets good reviews for o/c and quietness. Which ever way...

Lovely card I really want one. However in the UK it makes no sense to buy this card @ best price £455 vs a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti @ best price £480.

Exactly. This is a well balanced review to allow readers to draw conculsions.

Interesting indeed. If I am understanding correctly the stock cooled 780Ti is beating the custom cooled 290X by a fair margin in BF4 & C4 when both are overclocked and after the "warm up period" when the 780ti is throttling back to 941MHz. Once the 780Ti has decent custom cooling it is...

There seem to be a lot posts from users on the MSI forums with problems with the Killer NIC 2205. MSI are offering to send out a standalone driver if you contact them but not yet clear if this has solved the problem. The driver can be found in this thread...

I've owned several (expensive) IPS screens over the last six year and unfortunately there is no getting away from IPS glow. Depending on the make/model I have noticed it as a purple glow and with my current LED backlight screen a white glow. All IPS screens exhibit when viewing from angles and...

Totally irresponsible for this to be reported. The IOActive researcher Barnaby Jack should be working with silently with manufacturers to find a solution not creating the possibility of nutters sitting in cars outside hospitals killing people. It's only a matter of time before somebody gets...

Many thanks all, I've downloaded the most recent version I can find of Riva Tuner 2.24C and extracted it from that. I'll give all three options a try and see what works best with the latest 301.24 nVidia drivers VSync + triple buffering Adaptive vsync Direct3D Overrider

Nvidia Adaptive VSync looks a good option vs. VSync + Triple Buffering, as it presumably does not suffer from lag? I just wanted to canvass opinions, is there any point in enabling triple buffering with Adaptive VSync?

Hazro HZ27WA & H27WC 2560x1440, fantastic price supplied to outside the UK from here: http://www.hazro.co.uk/ There are versions without the glass front (I have a WA version) from this UK site (every few weeks one of the models is on special offer)...

It's clearly unbalanced left to right, not sure if it backlight bleeding or IPS glow TBH. Having switched back to the 20WGX2Pro (which is so much better) I now realise I prefer a glossy screen (despite the reflection problems) to a defused one. I'm going to have a look around for 24"...

Here are a couple of pics which I think show the problem clearly enough http://img842.imageshack.us/i/p1000868h.jpg/ http://img64.imageshack.us/i/p1000871y.jpg/ The first pic shows a pronounced glow on the left-hand side top and bottom. The camera makes it very obvious, but to the eye...

Many thanks TBH now I've noticed it I don't think I can overlook it so I'm going to send it back. Should I expect IPS glow to be visable at all when viewing straight on?

I'm actually coming from an NEC 20" TFT WGX2 S-IPS 1680x1050 monitor which certainly doesn't exhibit a sheen/glow like the ZR24w when I sit in front of it. It does have a slight purple sheen but evenly and only at extreme angles. With my head facing the centre of the ZR24w I see a white...

Just purchased one of these so I could move up to 1920x1200. Out of the box colours look great but screen was a bit to bright so I've followed some of the advice here and dropped brightness to 24 and boosted contrast to 100 and left colour @ 6500k sRGB. This gives me pretty good colour and...

I want a PSU that doesn't squeal like a girl when it is under load.

We had a IBM ThinkCentre PC at work which the user had complained had become really noisy. I determined it was the PSU fan and advised I would get a replacement under warranty which would take a coulpe of days.. Unbeknown to me the user stuck a cotton bud in it to stop it spinning. Got a...

Is this PSU suitable for case where the PSU fitted at the the top tight against the solid roof of the case? i.e. "that install with this side up" instruction wouldn't really work with my case. Or does it mean install with this side facing into the case?

TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF - 4GB (2x 2GB) Corsair Dominator DDR2 PC2-8500 (1066) I have been using this with my set-up for the past year (see sig). My motherboard is from the same family. Zero problems (I don;t use the memory fans) although I generally ensured the memory did not run above 1190...

Going to be playing with my new MSI P55-GD65 & Core i7 860 at the weekend and not sure which G.Skill memory to get. To begin with I am going to use the OC Genie button built into the motherboard which HardOCP seem to rate. Decided on the G.Skill Ripjaw DD3 memory as I can get it at a great...

Iv'e been getting some help from the motherboard section but I have some oc voltage questions and the help sort of dried up when I asked these, so thought it made more sense to ask here. I recently set-up my new rig based around an Asus P5Q Pro mobo and Q6600, see sig for details. These are...

What do I set it to? See my previous post regarding this. Thanks

My FSB Temination Voltage is set to auto, so I don't know, is there a utility that will tell me? Because I don't know, I am unsure about manually setting it for a Q6600, as the range is quite large. How do you know your actual dimm voltage did you measue it with a voltmeter? Thanks....

I have all the settings as you suggested . I can rule the memory out as an issue, it does not matter if I have it at 667, 800 or 1066, Prime95 will throw a Worker Thread #1 error within an hour at anything less than vcore 1.3250. At vcore 1.3250, prime95 has run overnight without errors, but...

Thanks for the advice so far. I will have a go with some of the bios suggestions (and setting ram as 1:1 which I assume means 667Mhz) over the next few days. One thing does Worker Thread #1 correlate to core one as this is the one that fails with the vcore lower. Is there a utility that...

I recently set-up my new rig based around an Asus P5Q Pro mobo and Q6600, see sig for details. It was an easy CPU o/c to 3Ghz, just changed the FSB to 333Mhz, the FSB strap to NB to 333Mhz and DDR2 to 1066Mhz and I have the system stable, running Prime95 and 3DMark etc for hours on end...
