Hi, can someone help me understand the TDP function of these cards? I have a G1 Gigabyte GTX 970 that draws 74-79% TDP during overclock despite setting a 112% power target in PrecisionX 16. Bumping the voltage does not seem to increase the power consumption draw as much as it should. I'm seeing...
Hey guys, I'm looking for an IDE hard drive for an old laptop. Nothing fancy is fine. Around 80GB should do. Cheaper is better. Please PM your price and part.
Thank you
AMD will have to play its cards first before the next Kepler is out. There is no way Nvidia will cannibalize its own sales by launching another flagship. GTX690 and GTX 680 solidified this by pegging the $500 and $999 price ranges. Hypothetically, if the new Kepler came out today, it would be...
The guy with the slower GTX 680 has a weird card. Most GTX 680 score above 9500 stock. I verified this and I have a CPU (4.0ghz) slower than his. I'm really liking the GTX 670. So much mythology behind it and it still hasn't launched. This kind of press must be good for companies.
This might sound crazy but try playing a heavy Physicx game and watch your temps rocket. I had a Trine 2 marathon over the weekend and the GPU was at 99% utility from start to finish. Never dipped once. I can play BF3 maxed out without breaking a sweat at 64-65C. I was hitting 68-69C in Trine 2...
If you can live with it then keep it. Otherwise you'll get more of the same from Dell. This issue has been noted for a long time, unfortunately, no one knows the cause of tinting.
You have to be really careful with Asus RMA. I had a similar experience two years ago when I've received a replacement board back and it had screwdriver gouges on the wire traces. I've had to exchange it twice due to other visible damages. Be persistent with your e-mails. If we can't send in...
My advice is to stick to Heaven loops. It is by far the most taxing performance test compared to all the others. Look for any artifacts. If it doesn't crash or artifacts after a few passes, you can almost certainly handle any games at the new settings.

Try down clocking a little on the memory or gpu. You're redlining pretty badly considering you're only getting 17.7 min fps and 54.3 avg fps for such a huge oc. I copied your test settings exactly (we have the same cpu, even same voltage settings) and I'm constantly getting 28.5 min fps and...
Can someone divulge the significance between reference and non-reference cards? Are non-reference cards company produced PCB layouts but use the same Nvidia/AMD chips as reference cards? Why are distributors barred from initially fabricating their own cards when reference cards are launched? Is...
Hey gang, I would like some clarification on the numbers people are posting. I have the Evga GTX 680 SC card as opposed to the vanilla version that I assume most people purchased. On paper, the base is 1058mhz and 1124mhz boost. However, the card will run at 1202mhz stock cap without touching...
There's no confirmation. The only visible difference is the initial units had stickers saying Made in China. Now it says Assembled in Mexico but they are still made in China. None of the above problems are fixed, it's still a lottery. I buy panels every 3 months.
As people get rich their collateral goes up. You need a decent amount of cash flow to keep your base of operations every month i.e. your homes, charities, organizations, taxes. People keep thinking if they make over 8 figures, they will have more money than they will ever need but your spending...
The U3011 I currently have is the best out of a few dozen I previously had. The U2711 is my 9h. Trust me, for the money I spend I really wish I had the best product at the end of the spectrum. But I've been working with these monitors so much I can tell which characteristics are individual...
I have both. U2711 easily has the better image quality. The calibration and presets on the U3011 looks more washed off. U2711 has deeper blacks due to less blacklights (8 vs 16). Consequently, U3011 takes a long time to heat up the additional backlights. U3011 has undeniably more real estate. It...
The lights turn on because they are proximity sensitive. Check if you any items near them. Dell warranty will handle the worst case scenario. But they will be refurbs.
The monitors you have are not bad. The only thing I would be cautious is tinting because they have not been solved yet. Dell does not control LG's panels. If you find them suitable keep em and take the refund. Otherwise return them or reorder since the refund is only relative to the price you...
Hi RadXge,
Is it possible to take a picture of your service menu in order to use these settings? When the monitor is off, hold your figures on the second and fourth button (top button is one, bottom button is five, not counting power button) and press the power button. All five buttons should...
This is not true. The U3011 has the worst blacks I've seen out of the Ultrasharps. Have you seen the blacks on the U2711? The reason is because the U3011 has 16 CCFL lamps as opposed to the 8 and 4 on the U2711 and U2311. PVA has a bigger problem like black crush.
Unlike the person in the videos, all my monitors are new and not refurbished replacements.
The U3011's I received spanned from its release until the December of last year. The release monitors are indicated by their made in China stickers. Latter models are assembled in Mexico. My biggest gripe...
I have both the U3011 and the U2711. The black level is not as good on the U3011 as on the U2711. The 30" takes a long time to warm up the CCFL lamps which is very noticeable. This has been a big issue for me. Image quality wise, U2711 is better hands down. I've owned 23 U3011 monitors and 9...
Hi guys. Are the new U3011 still having uniformity and tinting problems? Please let me know when you received the monitor and if your monitor has a darker shade on one side than the other. I'm interested in picking more 30" but I'm afraid of this problem.
