So why is AMD's software trying to run the chip at such a high voltage? I shouldn't manually have to undervolt the processor to get it to behave correctly. Even my idle temps are crazy high, with -0.1V it idles at like 42°C on a 220 AIO.

Personally, I think there's something wrong with the way the way the software for the 5800X is tuned. On my machine, I just ran back to back Cinebench R23 runs: Vcore offset [V] Peak Temp [°C] Peak Clock [MHz] Cinebench R23 0 87 4591 14614 -0.1 81 4690 15040 There is absolutely no...

Bump

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N780OC-3GD#ov I've owned this card since new, purchased in 2014. Runs perfectly, only selling because I built a new computer w/ a 1080. Comes with box (no sleeve). Sold locally

Cool. So my $470 videocard is actually a $570 videocard. Super happy about that.

I'm going crazy here trying to figure out how to get my 2nd Qnix up and running now that I've upgraded to a GTX 1080. My previous 780 had two dual link DVI ports so it was no problem. I assumed a newer card wouldn't struggle, but I can't get HDMI → DVI DL to work at all. Does anyone know a way...

You're saying that upgrading from a 2500K to a newer processor is a good idea if I'm reading this correctly? My plan is to upgrade to a 6600k while I'm at it.

Honestly, I'm 100% on board with this. I guess I should have been more specific, but I have no need to max every setting in every game just to say I did it. I'm mostly concerned with texture and post processing quality (although I always turn off DOF and Motion Blur). With most games right now...

I'm looking to upgrade in the near future and I haven't been paying a lot of attention. It seems like the 1070 8gb is the best reasonably priced option. My worry with the RX480 is that it wont' have the staying power at high resolution. I've heard rumors of AMD dropping higher end cards some...

I can try that for sure when I get home, but I'm not sure it'll help. I've had the monitor overclocked for longer than I've had the issue. Same problem on both monitors, neither will play. This is a "clean" install of Win10. I fully wiped my old Win7 setup, reinstalled 7 and then did an...

Both really good questions that I did not think to test. Just a note, it happened again right when I was first reading these posts and a reboot fixed the issue as usual. It's very predictable, except I don't know exactly how long it takes to set in or what is happening when it starts. A couple...

I know this isn't the prefect venue for this type of question, but I'm not active on any other better suited forums. I've been having an issue with streaming video that's driving me crazy. It has followed me (on the same build) from Windows 7 to Windows 10, although in 10 it's gotten worse...

FYI for anyone interested, make sure you get Dragonfall. The base game's campaign is super disappointing. I almost wrote off the game, but luckily I played Dragonfall and it's quite good. Totally worth $15.

Did you sign up? I got my email yesterday after a few days of waiting. So did most of my friends.

See if you have a local machine tool supply store near you. You can also see if someone like Fastenal carries them. Do you have one to use as reference? Does it have to be the EXACT same screw or just one that fits?

I'm also wondering about this. Couldn't find anything after a quick google search. Edit: I asked their chat support and they said to just leave the SSH Tunnel option as "none". Still not exactly sure what it means.

We're talking about video cards here, not EvE online.

Haha. That is most definitely NOT a passive GTX 780. It has fans mounted under the heatsink. http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/59777-gainward-geforce-gtx-780-phantom-glh/

None of those games are very GPU intensive, I'd think that a 770 would be overkill. The only game that a 750ti would struggle on max settings would be the Total War series. I still think that would be a good choice, although a used 660 might be a good choice too.

How are they only getting 68fps at 1920x1200 high settings on a 780? Obviously I run different settings but I'm pushing 100fps avg on BF4 at high/ultra settings at 1440p.

Yep, make sure you clear out the old drivers completely. When I went from my 7950 to 780 I had missive issues with driver conflicts when just uninstalling through windows. You'll want to use DDU or Driver Fusion (sketchy?) to clear out all remains of the old driver.

Right here. Right here is where you said it.

Here you go, blue switches and blue backlight: http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-keyboard-nighthawk-x8-blue-backlit-mechanical-keyboard.html

No you don't. Not in public you don't. If you don't want to be recorded, go be crotchety in the privacy of your own home.

Most entertaining thread in ages. Way to go OP.

When switching from a Radeon 7950 to a GTX 780 I had serious frame rate problems due to driver issues from "just uninstalling". I still suggest using a cleaner.

I've got a 780 OC that I got for $480 that handles 1440p at 120hz pretty well. My average frame rate in BF4 (mostly ultra settings, no AA) are ~100fps. Personally I don't see the reason to have more power at only 1440p.

Really? They thought pink and red went together? Jesus, what's the color scheme supposed to be? Fresh wound?

That doesn't sound right, are you sure your settings aren't getting reset when you plug in another monitor? I currently run an old 60Hz Qnix and a 120 Qnix side by side and it works great.

Mine came with one.

That really sounds like page-file lag. With as much RAM as you have you should probably disable it. Do you have most of your software installed on the SSD with your OS? I wouldn't worry about filling up the SSD since they don't lose performance the way HDDs when you get them close to maximum...

The AG coating on this monitor is not bad. I thought it was going to hate it after having a glossy QX2700 (the 1st gen, non OC-able version of this monitor) and I don't really notice a difference between the two.

OOS

Dammit, I just realized I bought one of these a month ago and haven't installed it. I better speed test it. Anyone have luck RMAing for a unit that actually performs in spec?

To prevent such issues, I purchased a $30 3-year square trade warranty so if mine breaks I can either get them repaired for free or get refunded for their cost.

Yep, I tried this and it did not work unfortunately.

But I do have a monitor running 120Hz, it's this one. Granted I've never tried a 120Hz tn, but I'm happy with my ips.

It depends. I know everyone else has stated that it doesn't effect it, but I've noticed a huge performance drop with my 2nd monitor enabled unless I disable Windows Aero. I prob get 20fps higher and less stutter in BF4 with Aero turned off.

Yep. I have no issues with ghosting when playing fast paced FPS games on either of my Korean monitors. Make sure if you're an fps gamer that you get the one (like the one listed here) that doesn't have multiple inputs(ie, a conversion board). These are driven directly from the graphics card...
