I haven't been able to verify this particular tweet, so please don't take it as gospel, but it would be interesting if this is indeed true: RTX 3080 Ti FE: PG133-SKU15, GA102-250-KD-A1, 20GB GD6X, he same FP32 count as 3090, 10496FP32, the same MEM speed and TGP as 3080, no NVLINK. Source...

I can't seem to find any firm answer to this online, so i thought I'd check here. More than a year ago now I built a cheap pc from parts I had lying around so that my young kids, who are just starting to type up presentations for school, didn't trash my machine ;). Anyway, I installed the...

Hi guys, looking for some advice on which route to take. I run a 1440p monitor at 120Hz, and my GTX 780 Ti is struggling in BF4. In my country, it would cost me the same to get a second 780 Ti to SLI with my current card or to sell my 780 Ti and get SLI GTX 970. From what I have read, getting...

Hey guys, so my old WD 640 GB Black is slowly dying, and I'm looking for a 1TB replacement that performs the same as my old 640. Any suggestions? It is primarily for storage, but there are a few games that don't fit on my OS SSD so I'd like to keep it as snappy as possible. I have read that...

So I have the rig in my sig, and in the coming months if I can find another used 780 Ti at a decent price I plan to SLI them. My current setup draws up to 450W at the wall during BF4 MP according to my Kill-a-Watt, so I figured that a Cooler Master V850 would be enough. However, reading a bit...

Hi all, I currently run a TX650W in my sig rig, and it has served me well, it has been very quiet in my pretty quiet setup. However next year I plan to upgrade to SLI with either GTX 860's or GTX 870's (depending on pricing) so I need a beefier psu, or at least something with 4 x 6+2 pin pci-e...

I am about to start on my first new build for several years with this mobo and an i7 3770k, upgrading from rig in sig. I am just looking for any advice on drivers for this chipset. I never use the ones bundled on the cd, but I am also a bit weary of which ones are picked automatically by Win 7...

So I'm in the market for a new SSD (to go with my Asus P8Z77-V Pro), and my budget allows for the 120/128Gb range. After reading as many reviews as I could find a couple of weeks ago I had settled on the Intel 520 series 120Gb principally because of the combination of speed and 5 year warranty...

I got my new card a couple of days ago, and I notice that when I first set the fan to 100%, and then stress test with OCCT, temps get up to 96/97C. Isn't this pretty high for this cooler with the fan on full? The airflow in my case is pretty good. I have 2 x 120mm Scythe's at the front, and...

I am planning to upgrade my video card in April, and I will be getting one of the two cards in the title, to go with the rig in my sig. I was planning on waiting for the newer 28nm cards but we are now expecting a baby and I guarantee when that time comes, I won't have any spending money for an...

Like the title says, my Asus P5K-VM died and I'm replacing it with an Asus P5Q Deluxe. Do I need to reinstall Win 7 (Home Premium 64 bit, retail), which is on my SSD?

Rig is in sig, oc has been running without issue for over 18 months, and now suddenly under load the cpu is throttling back from multiplier 8.5 (max available) down to 6. I have changed nothing in my rig, and all speedstep etc is (and always has been) disabled in the bios. I have re-seated...

http://en.expreview.com/2010/08/09/world-exclusive-review-512sp-geforce-gtx-480/9070.html Don't know how true this is or not, but if it is true, then we now know why it won't be available at retail...

http://www.fudzilla.com/graphics/graphics/graphics/ati-catalyst-107-rumored-to-be-released-wednesday-july-21st OK so even Fud say it's a rumor, but I hope that it's based in some reality!

I have had my Q9550 oc'd at 3.6GHz for the last year, rock solid. Just for kicks, I thought I'd see if I could get 3.8GHz. I went up to 450x8.5=3.84GHz, but it was not stable, so I bumped the cpu voltage slightly from 1.28v to 1.3v, and it seems fine. I always have all of the power saving...

I have read a lot of info on this, but I just want to be doubly sure. I have Win 7 x64 on a 100GB partition of my WD Caviar Black 640GB hard drive (actual space used is 55GB). I have just ordered an Intel X25-M 80GB SSD. IIRC, Acronis will shrink the 100GB partition to fit on the 80GB SSD...

Where I live these options are all around the same price. I want to use it just for my OS, but I do currently have a lot of software installed on my C: drive (around 55GB including Win 7 x64). My games are all installed to my E: (data) drive. Rig is in sig. Intel X25-M 80GB. This is my first...

Is this because I have a non-reference card (Asus 5850 DirectCU)? Or is there some way to enable it that I can't find? Thanks!

I am looking at getting an Asus 5850 card which has a 6 pin and an 8 pin pci-e power sockets. My psu (Corsair tx650) only has two 6 pin plugs. From the reviews that I have read, it is possible to run the card with just two 6 pin plugs, but I may not be able to OC as much as could be possible...

Hi all, I have just picked up a used T240, very happy with it after proper calibration. My question is, is there going to be any difference in picture quality when the monitor is connected differently? At the moment I am using the DVI out from my GTX 260, and the DVI in to the monitor. Would...

Rig is in sig (1680x1050 res). I got the GTX 260 (216) second hand for a good price a while back, but newer games are maxing it out (BFBC2 and even MW2 when things get busy in MP!) and later in the year I'll be looking to get a 24" or 26" monitor so I want something with a bit more juice. The...

Just picked up this mobo for a budget build for my dad. I'm giving him my old E4600 to go with it. On my own mobo (P5K-VM) I had this cpu running at 3.12GHz with a 1:1 ratio. There are less BIOS options on this new P5QL-AM mobo (eg no cpu voltage, I knew that in advance), but I'm suprised...

I have a WD Caviar Black 640Gb HDD, it's partitioned into C: Windows 7 (104Gb) and D: Data (491Gb). I am running out of space on the C: partition and I want to extend it. The D: drive only has around 160Gb used space, and I only want to add around 50Gb to the C: partition. Is this doable? I...

I'm looking for a budget motherboard for my father, which has 4 RAM slots to utilise the 4x1Gb sticks that I already have. Here in The Netherlands the only thing that I can find is the relatively new Asrock P5B Pro: http://www.asrock.co/mb/overview.asp?Model=P5B%20Pro. On the face of it, it...

A friend of mine had a new set of 2x1Gb Crucial Ballistix PC6400 that he gave to me for a steal (he's upgrading to DDR3), so that I could upgrade to 6Gb. The 2x2Gb I'm already running (dual channel) are also Crucial Ballistix PC6400, and my mobo (see sig) can take up to 8Gb. I first tested...

So today I was doing a 7v mod to fan that was connected to the psu but it was switched off. Unfortunately my 5 year old snuck up behind me and turned the pc on and the 12v and 5v wires touched and shorted the pc. I just did the paper clip test, and the fan on the psu span up fine. I...

Nevermind, just saw the other thread...

I have just picked up a slightly used GTX 260 Sonic to replace my crappy old 9600GT, and I was expecting good things as far as overclocking it higher than it's stock speeds. I know that every card is different, but I get such a small oc compared to some of the reviews I have read. Many mags...

I have just upgraded from my old 9600GT 512Mb to a (slightly used) Palit GTX 260 Sonic 896Mb. The first thing that I have noticed is that it doesn't downclock to 2D mode. After some Googling it seems that having 2 monitors is the issue, and only a BIOS flash will cure this. What is the best...

Another bit of news from Fudzilla, FWIW: http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/15535/65/ "Nvidia is still not revealing any details about its chip that we still call GT300 but one thing is getting quite certain. A few people who saw just leaked performance data on ATI's soon to launch Radeon HD...

For what it's worth... ;) http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/15436/65/ "We finally figured out out the final specification of the chip that we called RV870 and the fact that AMD plans to call it Radeon HD 5870 doesn’t come as a big surprise. The chip works at 825MHz and has 1600...

I am building a budget sytem from parts left over from a recent upgrade of my desktop, and the only thing remaining is to get some speakers for 5.1 surround. My mobo (ASUS P5KPL-CM) has onboard 8.1 HD audio. Apart from the above mobo I have: Antec Fusion Remote...

Just seen that it will be on sale here in Europe next month around the 190 euro mark - not a bad price since the Sapphire 4890 Toxic is around 210 euros and is 40GHz slower: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=137&cat3_no=&prod_no=1857 Only problem of course...

I have now got my Q9550 (E0) at 3.6GHz (425x8.5), and the vcore is manually set to 1.3125 in the bios (this was the lowest I could get it stable at, 14 hrs Prime95), and cpu-z gives 1.272 at idle and 1.178 at load. According to Core Temp the VID is 1.2250. My question is, should my vcore at...

For the last year I have had an overclocked E4600 on this mobo with XP Pro and more recently a dual boot with XP Pro and Win 7 RC. I had no issues at all with this setup. Last week, I upgraded the BIOS from 704 to 902 so that I could install a Q9550. This seemed to be fine, even after I...

I just upgraded the rig in my sig to a Q9550 E0 (stock speeds) with a Scythe Mugen 2 (using MX-2 TIM) and a Corsair TX650 psu. When I go to boot, I get a CPU fan error warning, which as I understand is because the mobo isn't registering the low fan speed of the Scythe 120mm fan (I am running...

http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/13870/34/ There are also some shots of the card on the Sapphire web site: http://www1.sapphiretech.com/us/gallery/img/461/11150-01_HD4890TOXIC_1GBGDDR5_PCIE_FBC.jpg been waiting for this one....:)

I need to buy a new card in the next two weeks whilst I have the funds (next month we have some rennovation work on the house and there will be no spare fund for pc components for a long while!!), and it's down to these two options: Cheapest 4890 paired with Accelero Twin Turbo (using original...
