I was looking at other people's 3dmark11 scores for the Sapphire 7870 XT and noticed that mine was a bit low, so I flashed it with the Powercolor 032 bios from this thread. It was originally on 030.

How loud does your card get? I've never had a sapphire card before so I have no reference. Mine went up to 50% fan use while playing tomb raider and I thought it was quite loud, but apparently these are relatively quiet fans?
Yeaaaaah... I see that it has really no effect performance-wise, I'm just pretty curious about why it might be happening.
Dark12, that's definitely the cause. I'm running an i3-3225 :(
I need to learn how to read.
Thanks everyone!
Just got this card and noticed that it seems to only run up to PCIe 2.0 x16, according to GPU-Z. It says that the card is capable of PCIe 3.0. When I run the render test in GPU-Z, the most it will go up to is PCIe 2.0 x16.
CCC is reporting that my graphics bus capability is only PCI Express...
Sorry if I missed this, but will soft-modded fat pandora batteries work in the psp slim? I'm thinking of just buying a used battery, softmodding it with my fat psp and then when I get the slim use the fat pandora on it.
I haven't replaced the video card yet, but..
I just looked at hwmonitor and it's saying that AUXTIN is at 127° c.. what's auxtin?
Also if hwmonitor is right then my cpu is idling at around 85°
edit: wait, in speedfan core0 and core1 show 85 but it also shows the cpu reading 53...
Hey guys,
This is happening with my desktop.. The screen turns green and after a few seconds it restarts itself. It seems to be happening at random times. I already ran memtest, prime95, and orthos for seven hours each and it was stable through each. It was also fine when I played Crysis for...
No, it's not the one in my sig and I can't try it in another rig :( . It has an asus P5E-VM HDMI mobo, an HIS 3850 512, e6750, 2gb g.skill ddr2-800, and a corsair 520hx
I've played four straight hours of TF:2 on it, an hour of crysis maxed out, but each time it went green on me was just regular...
Hey guys... my new rig has some problem where the screen just goes green and I have to restart the computer. It usually happens at least once a day. What could this be?
So... I wore out my mouse feet already, and Razer says that they do not provide mouse feet. Where can I purchase Diamondback 3g mouse feet?
Will these fit? http://www.everglide.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=24&zenid=nl17mdhleif3i9fsaur6307cm2
Thanks
Pretty nice :P
I personally would have gotten the LED screen, it's only $150 now (just checked it). It's so worth it imo, very thin
Enjoy the m1330, it's really great. I'm loving mine
I assumed that the HIS TurboX would be relatively close to the 3870 in performance, with its overclock. The ICEQ cooler and the included black box are the biggest deciding factors for me.. I'll only use it when I'm home for breaks, and I'll only be gaming on 1280x1024
Or am I wrong and should...
Are there any good deals on good horizontally-blowing cpu coolers that would fit well? Or should I just stick with the freezer 7 pro?
Thanks for all the help
Nice, I'll consider the case
and that corsair ram is most likely going into the system :)
Aside from them the other parts are ok? I'm probably going to be ordering tonight
Thanks
