    Contemplating crossfire but hearing a lot of problems?

    I've had a CrossfireX setup (2 x 5850) for a while now & unless something radical changes in the market, I won't be buying ATI again. It's a bit of a cliche to kick ATI/AMD these days, but in this case they deserve it. Driver support has been, and continues to be, absolutely appalling. They...

    AMD's ATI 10.3a Catalyst Driver Update @ [H]

    Sounds like you're in the same shitty litter tray as the rest of us poor mugs who have monitors that are of identical sizes, but have inconsistent EDIDs. For some strange reason ATI have deemed it necessary to screw these people by pointing their drivers at the EDID on the monitors (ignoring...

    AMD's ATI 10.3a Catalyst Driver Update @ [H]

    For crying out loud, bezel compensation is STILL reliant on crappy EDID data straight from the monitor. Exactly which genius thought that was a good idea?

    AMD's ATI 10.3a Catalyst Driver Update @ [H]

    I really hope ATI will ditch this whole reliance on EDID data from the monitor for bezel compensation to work. Loads of people are having problems with getting it to work with the beta drivers because EDID data is often inaccurate, and quite hard/risky to change. Not only that, but the ATI...

    Catalyst 10.1 is out

    Major framerate drops reported with 10.1 on the AMD Game forum. I think I'll stick with 9.12 for a while longer.

    Q6600 with new videocard

    My Q6600 @ 3Ghz runs just fine with a 5850, driving 3 x 24" monitors (5760 x 1200) Eyefinity setup. After a load of research I concluded the newer chips just don't provide enough increase in performance to make the cost worth it. There's a lot of life in the Q6600 yet I reckon. Modern Warfare...

    NVIDIA & Multi-display Gaming Editorial @ [H]

    If nothing else, this all contributes towards now being a very exciting time to be a pc gamer. With all the years of talk about pc gaming dying, this could be just the shot in the arm it needs...a usp for our platform. I think the 3dfx sli reference in Kyle's article was a good one, though for...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    I just tested this on my LP2475w, looking at the Lagom LCD test on Firefox3 & IE, and I agree the banding is more visible in Firefox (although still quite minor), but almost undetectable in IE.

    Redesigned 8800GT - Gigabyte GV-NX88T512HP

    Guys, for what it's worth, I have one of the Gigabyte 8800GTs with the crappy RAM. When I first got it a couple of months ago, I tried it in my AMD 3500+ / Lanparty UT mobo / Antec 480w & got in-game black screens every 5 minutes. My PC was due an upgrade anyway, so I replaced everything...

    What would fit here...?

    Hi @. I've just built up a linux media server with an EPIA 800 cpu. Thing is, the cpu fan is far too noisy, so I'd like to swap it out for either a passive heatsink (although I don't know if this will provide enough cooling), or more likely a quiet hsf. I'm not sure what would be suitable for...
