Hi all, I've recently bought a second 2312 and it's an A00 rev when my first was an A05 rev, and color wise the A00 looked awful. Now, I just got done letting Dispcalgui calibrate it. Here's my result. Most everything looks ALRIGHT but not that special. Why are my blacks and grays so off? My...

Can anyone give a quick comparison of their thoughts on Max Payne 3 on the 360? I can easily run it on my PC, but might prefer it on the XBox, as long as the game works well on the controller, and the framerate is decent (compared to say, Fable 2, where I felt the framerate never got above 20...

Hi all, This seems to me to be an interesting question: Do I want an H80, or H100 on Ivy Bridge? Since they use the same pump I believe, and Ivy Bridge generates less heat overall, will I benefit from an H100 over an H80? I haven't seen anyone compare the two. I'm looking to pick up a...

My issues seem to be...numerous with this board. To start, USB devices must be detected and reinstalled on EVERY windows boot. The same thing happens in Linux live distros - I have to disconnect the devices and plug them back in. Only my keyboard seems to work, and the rest is horked. GFlop...

Hi all, Just upgraded to a P8Z77-v Pro board from ASUS. I've got a 250GB Intel 510SSD as my boot drive, and I ran Crystalmark on it, with these results (I had closed CDM, and so re-ran with only 1 run, which produced numbers that are the same as running 5 times.): The drive IS in AHCI...

Hi all, Trying to get my PS3 to behave: I'm watching various netflix titles and sometimes I have audio sync issues. The audio runs BEFORE the video. Now, it looks fine when running BluRays and DVDs, but Netflix generally looks wrong. Watching on my iPad or XBox however seems fine. What...

I just finished my Gamma 1 DAC from AMB labs, so I figured I'd post a quick picture and report that...it works amazingly well! http://rampantandroid.com/images/DAC/DSC_2972.jpg http://rampantandroid.com/images/DAC/DSC_2973.jpg I'll try to benchmark it soon, but running it with optical...

Hi all, Just got a new box at work and it came with a GTS450 in it that has 1x HDMI, 1xDSUB and 1x DVI - I have a 3 monitor setup at work right now, and want to keep that going, and possibly add #4 soon. What card, preferably under $100, will work with my system? My old system has a...

Hi all, Just nabbed a Xonar Essence STX and I AM seeing some minor issues with games...what are the advantages to the Unified drivers? What functionality do I lose? I've looked over the site they have and read some forum posts...do I lose the positional audio support for headphones with...

Hi all, Since I started playing ME1 on PC, I'm hitting some pretty bad crashes to desktop. I get these while in conversations - sometimes after being in game for an hour or more...sometimes after a few minutes. Now, I'm on the April release of nVidia drivers - 270.61 because anything newer...

So...I finally wanted to give Origin a whirl. OK...here we go, can't be so bad, right? Buy Mass Effect 1 on PC (I've got 2 for PC, and 1&2 on XBox...wanted to do a full play through on PC...) Fine...works well enough. I can see pinnacle station there to...well, for shits and giggles let's also...

Hi all, I'm considering gaming on my Plasma with my PC - now, my PC is on the opposite end of the room, farther than HDMI could reach, so I'm considering an HDMI - CAT6 - HDMI extender - can anyone speak to the effectiveness and lag of these? Moreover, Can people speak to the quality of...

Hi all, Between my Sidewinder X8 having a bad switch that sticks, and my Razer Mamba dying after 2 months of use...I'm looking for a new mouse. I love the feel of the Sidewinder and larger mice - I palm mice. I do not like the claw grip of smaller mice. Wireless with the ability to...

Can anyone recommend one to use with an Intel 510 SSD? I've since discovered the onboard marvel 91XX controller on my motherboard uses a single PCIe lane, so I'd love a reasonable performance PCIe controller card that won't cause any headaches (no driver woes :) Thanks!

Hi all, Wondering if I've got something configured wrong here... I'm running a Intel 510 250GB SSD on my Sabertooth X58 board, and I've got the drive plugged into the Marvel SATA3 port. Using CrystalInfo, I can see it's marked as being on a SATA3/6Gbps port. Now, running Crystalmark on...

OK, so...I grabbed an Intel 510 SSD finally...and will be putting it into my box when it arrives later this week. Can I easily transfer my Win7 install? I've read about alignment and all. Also, what about the partition size? I'll be going down in size of the Windows partition, so will that be an...

So given I was one of the people hating on DA2 back in March, I figured I'd repost given I'm playing it now. I have to say, giving it a chance, I like it. Yes, I see the same dungeon 20 times...but overall, the story is pretty decent. It still has the typical "Look, boobies!" to it (desire...

Hi all, I have to admit I'm a bit consfused...I'm on a JBed iOS 4.3.3 device, with modem firmware 04.10.01; from here, can I unlock the modem without a Gevey unlock? If so, how? Looks like nothing is compat with this modem firmware right now? Can I somehow flash to ANOTHER firmware to unlock...

Hi all, I upgraded to 275.33 drivers and suddenly am seeing flashing dark sections on DA2 - as I walk, the area I'm standing on darkens (as in, an entire large section covering half the screen goes dark) - is this just nvidia's usual shitty drivers, or am I missing something on my end? I'm...

Hi all, I've recently picked up a Nikon D70 really cheap and I'm grabbing some lenses for it and all that...and getting into photography. So now I'm wondering how best to host the photos. The options I see are: Existing sites: Smugmug, Flickr and such Host my own: I have hosting already...

Hi all, I recently sold my old 5970 off to a friend, along with a X58/920 system I built. Now, he's been having black screens of death when doing stuff...that doesn't really stress the system - when chatting, playing a video file, gaming, furmark, flickering while doing Intel burn test...

So...thinking of an MMO again...what's the state of AOC right now? I know they patched a year ago or something...but do people play it right now? Or should I just be waiting for Bioware to crap out an MMO...or just returning to WoW (haven't played in years)... Thanks! RA

Didn't see any other threads right away about this: http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/04/mass-effect-3-delayed-to-adjust-mechanics-for-larger-market-opp/ Well, I'm done with Bioware - how about everyone else?

Looked to see if I could find a definitive answer on Hard and found none; what's the verdict on heatsinks like the TRUE120 and Megahalems in a case where both the top and back fans blow hot air out (like the HAF932): Have the heatsink blow hot air UP or horizontally out the back? Does it...

Hi all, Looking at nabbing an SSD right now, and I have to admit I'm throughly confused by the benchmarks, given the benchmark numbers seem to mean so little; In trying to no exceed 300USD (not by much, at least - the 120GB 510 could be an option) on 3 gbps SATA II, what is a good drive to be...

So, I can nab a 120GB Vertex 3 for around 300 USD, or do a loop with my GPU and CPU for $400 - not equal, but it is one or the other. I've already got two 150GB Raptors in RAID 0, so my HDD perf isn't TERRIBLE, but I could do better with an SSD. On the flip side, I have a TRUE-120 Ultra on...

So...I'm TRYING to use Tetherme. And I had to pay because the POS has no trial (should have been sign one I was barking up the wrong tree) and while I can see a wifi hotspot...it's intermittant. It's not always on - there seems to be no way to ensure it REMAINS on. Am I missing something...

Hi all, Still having video corruption issues; these occurred before I OCed my 920, and continue now afterwards. The corruption I see ranges from windows not rendering right, aero not showing up right, flickering and so forth. When this happens is on boot, or on coming back from...

Hi all, Just grabbed a new backup/data drive for my system, and I'd like to copy my OLD backup drive over - hidden files and all...is there a more efficient way than drag/drop that'll automatically do it without all of the "do you want to merge" prompts windows hits you with? Thanks! RA

Hi all, In my whole little 3D escapade, I realized that my RE5 DX10 perf seems to be...sorely lacking. In realizing this, I'm wondering - what is normal perf? Running at 1080p, 0xAA, everything on high, VSync off I was averaging 80FPS or so, which...a quick search online tells me I should be...

Hi all, Trying to get my 3D vision kit to work...and I'm seeing a double image in the LEFT eye only; the right eye looks fine, but the left eye shows a double image. If I increase the depth, the double image moves further off of the main image, making me think the left eye of the glasses is...

Hi All! Just started to OC my 920 finally (yay!) and I'm slowly moving up...but I have some questions. First, my components: GSkill Ripjaws 1333 i7 920 eVGA 3xSLI Now...given that, I've read through the XBit guide on this, and they're using a Asus board so they have different BIOS...

Hi all, Playing with 3D right now and I'm finding that I've got a pretty low framerate in RE5 for the benchmark...unsure if it's just that I'm CPU limited (I was at stock clocks on my 920 - I just got up to 3GHz and I need to retry RE5; my RAM was also apparantly running below spec as the SPD...

Hi all, I've got a new AW2310 to replace my aging VX2025, and my viewsonic still works fine, so I figured I'd use the second output on my GTX580 for the viewsonic - giving me one monitor for my game to be on (the alienware) and the second for an IM client, media player, cheat sheet for a LoL...

So...seems like no one ever created a thread on this monitor...looks like some owners are out there though - just got mine from FedEx today and hooked it up before running to work - I have to say, I didn't miss TN panels. Initial impressions, from just using Windows (no gaming, no real videos...

Hi all, Looking at my temps for my i7 920 that's at stock settings using HW Monitor, while running Prime95 with in place FFTs; My temps hit max 60/58/57/54 - this is the CORE temps, so when I put those temps there, I mean 60 for core 1, 58 for core 2 and so forth. This is with a TRUE-120...

Hi all, Recently reinstalled WIndows 7 and I'm seeing a strange issue: when Windows plays a sound - like the sound for a USB device being connected and recognized...my volume momentarily drops. I verified this by watching the sound levels in the volume panel (you see the green that shows how...

Hi all, Looking to sell an IPB license (IP.Board, IP.Content together) and I'm wondering how that's done - is there a way to transfer the key to someone else, or do I just hand my account over (does Invision Power condone this?) It's still within the initial 6 months, so it should be worth...

So I recently pushed from my iphone 3GS to a 4...and did a restore operation so I kept EVERYTHING set up. However, the 4 is being INCREDIBLY flakey - I'm getting the shittiest datarates on 3G you'll ever see (100 kbps or lower at times) making the phone next to worthless for data. I suspect it...
