I'm looking to trade my HIS 6990 for a GTX 680. I don't expect to find anyone willing to trade out their new 680, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try! I've owned it just about a year now and it's been very good to me running Eyefinity. It runs 945/1300 in my system, I've never upped any...

Can't really say I would mind keeping my 6990 and throwing in a 7970... But I don't see it happening any time soon. It seems like something that would be much more difficult than regular CrossFireX/SLI.

Well I installed the drivers for that board from Intel's site. Before I did that the driver date was like '06(??), after the update it said '09, but still listed as P55. Very confusing to me.

My friend has been trying to play BF3 with me recently and has constant hard freezes. I went to look at his drivers in Device Manager and under System Devices it showed up as P55. This is a x58 board, is this normal?

If you are looking at water cooling for OC potential only, I would skip it. I'm running my i7-2600k at [email protected] and under prime95 I haven't topped 73C. Either way, you'll be extremely pleased with your new Intel rig.

bustaplz I'd really like to try playing BF3 with some people using voice chat and working together!

Only got to play it for about an hour last night, but noticed nothing in the way of low framerates even though I had my cpu downclocked to 3.8.

Somehow I've fixed it. I pushed my core clock up to 1000 and got a crash. When I booted up again, no dots. I haven't seen a dot since then. This is driving me mad. EDIT - AND THEY RETURN!

What is the best way to do that? I seem to remember doing that on my 5870 due to DisplayPort issues, but it's been a good while.

I'm honestly having a hard time believing that the card has some sort of hardware defect after my recent attempt at OCing it. 975/1450 Furmark stable with no extra voltage! I don't have RMA as a good option as all my extra parts are at my parents house and it would be hard to get my old 4870 to...

Sometimes it doesn't bother me much at all. Right now I can only see a few dots. But it changes rapidly and can get pretty obnoxious. I really don't understand what could be faulty on the card that would make it misbehave in 2D but still dominate anything 3D.

I figure I'll throw my experience in: I upgraded from a 4870/1920x1200 -> 5870/1920x1200 -> 5870/5760x1080 -> 2x 5870/5760x1080 -> 6990/5760x1080 Right now I'm only running a single 1920x1080 display due to space issues(3 27" displays are like 8 feet edge-to-edge) so I'm not really utilizing...

I've owned my 6990 since early April, never OC'd past the BIOS switch on the card. Recently(1 month or so) I've been seeing a lot of strange dots on my screen, but never in a game or while playing something in VLC, etc. My machine has been giving me BSODs recently, but it seems to only be caused...

Thanks everyone for your input and advice. I personally use GIMP over PS, the quick download/install/config and IMO more intuitive interface makes it a complete winner. But my sister loves Photoshop and knows her way around it better than I think I've every known a program. Watching her work...

A little explanation: I'm likely going away from home for an extended period(not to prison and I'm not going to explain). My little sister(15) is way into creating art, both digital and those old ways. Right now she is using a machine with the specs following for gaming(another one of her...

I have 3 ASUS VE276. I've probably had the 3 of them for almost a year now and they have been perfect. As you've figured out, the VE27X monitors will not allow you to use a stand. You should also be aware of the absolute size requirement of running 3 27" panels. We're talking about ~7'...

Gotta love a good justification!

Thank you for the input guys. I really appreciate it. Jeremyshaw, Just looked at your sig. Sounds like we will have a pretty comparable rig when I get done. I guess you run the single U2711. Have you ever run any eyefinity resolutions with your hardware? I'm really excited to see Eyefinity on...

Okay, thanks for the input guys. I'm still not sure what I want to do about non-SSD storage.Right now I have 4 mechanical HDDs in my main rig but they only total like 1.5TB and I have 9 partitions. I'm about to have to move my Steam path to another drive/partition for the 3rd time. I kind of...

Bro, I'm an Apprentice Electrician. Think I got things worked out on that front.

I was gonna try and run dual cpus on this rig. I have a spare 1155 board that I took the CPU socket off of and I am gonna solder it to the back of the new boards socket. So I'll be like running the CPU's in parallel. I've owned 2(I think) HIS Radeon cards and had no issue with them, so I feel...

I have the same issue running 2 5870's in CF. I've found that disabling CF will drop the GPU load back to normal and then I can enable it again. I have to do it about once a day. Wish there was a better fix!

HOW IN THE WORLD DOES THIS WORK FOR YOU? I use two profiles, your second and fourth. Whenever I switch to my extended profile, my primary goes to the left and I have to manually change it. It's slowly driving me mad!

I've been using MSI Afterburner for overclocking, fan speeds and looking at stats on my GPUs. Up until recently I was using a Logitech G15, and made use of the plugin for the LCD. Now I've switched keyboards and have been using Afterburner's On Screen Display for the following numbers: FPS...

Haha! My dad and I were playing a game called MotorHead back then. It was a racing game that was almost completely dependent on your fps for the cars to have grip. Such an absurd idea right now, but I remember all the fastest guys ran Voodoo2 SLI.

I remember being sooooo jealous of the guys with Voodoo2 SLI setups back in the day. lmao

First few are unknown. Many died at my hands in failed overclocking attempts. AMD Athlon K6 AMD Athlon K7 AMD Athlon XP(Ran quite a few of these into the ground over the years) AMD Athlon 64 3000+(939 version) I ran my 64 for YEARS, it served me very well. I overclocked it many different times...

Well I had a little problem with my i7-930 over the weekend. It looks like I killed the 930 AND my UD3R. Not currently having a job, I called my loving grandmother and asked her to help me get my comp up and running again. A little explanation may be in order for the story: My grandparents...

Thanks for the tips, guys! Unfortuneately, I haven't been able to give it another try as I seem to have murdered my CPU. Amazon says my 970 will be here tomorrow, but it still hasn't shipped out. I'll post back if I still can't figure it out.

Don't know much about the mobile C2D line, but I have a 2008 MacBook Pro that got bashed up pretty good a while back. I've been running it as a desktop as it has no screen and I think it has a T8300. Would that meet your needs?

I recently picked up a Sapphire 5870 1GB used for $200 to run CF with my HIS 5870 1GB. The strain of 5760x1080 was a bit too much for the one card. I have a few different questions about CF, as I have never run a multi-GPU setup. I had my HIS card OC'd to 915/1300(highest stable OC) and...

lol I honestly haven't had too much issue with the game. I certainly don't think my CPU is bottlenecking my 5870. And I know it's not when running Eyefinity.

I guess I'll bump this once more before I let it die a sad and lonely death.

bump?

I'm bumping this thread with my latest OC to keep it around for people who may want to see more numbers on the 930 and/or the GA-X58A-UD3R User Name: bustaplz CPU: i7 930 FPO/Batch #: 3001A127 Store: Newegg Purchased In: March 2010 OC: 4011MHz (21x191MHz). Stability: 1 hour Prime95 so...

Bump!

I recently gave Eyefinity a trial run with 2 Dell P2010H's and an Acer 20" I had lying around. After deciding I liked Eyefinity I picked up 3 ASUS VE276Q 27's. The P2010H is a 1600x900(Dell says they are TN, but they are the best looking TN's I've owned) with VGA/DVI/DisplayPort inputs, USB2.0...
