Sweet thanks I'll start checking out those parts and put a list together

Hello all, I was lurking and it seems all the recent new build discussions, the folks said they weren't gaming on them. I am out of the loop on the hardware these days and my buddy wants to start gaming with me. Probably the most intensive thing we would be playing would be Rocket League or...

Not going to overclock. Wasnt interested to do overclocking. https://www.hardocp.com/article/2018/10/19/intel_core_i99900k_9th_generation_cpu_review/6 And I'm not sure I see the benefit of an unlocked board, 45 extra dollars to do not much overclocking according to the review.

i9-9900k and MSI B360-A Pro compatible? according to the BIOS update they have it is.

wow, thanks for the fast response! that was a good idea. I brought up this motherboard for instance, listed for $78 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144166 and there was a support page about supported processors...

There are a lot of 300 series motherboards listed on newegg as 8th gen only or just 8th gen with no mention of 9th gen, so if you are getting a 9th gen processor do you have to buy a motherboard that specifically says 9th gen in the description? if 8th gen mobo fits 9th gen cpu is there some...

ATI ... AMD same difference.. I'm old, okay? Just leave me be... :)

I actually just got a driver update from ATI the other day. I will have to get the driver info when I'm at home. Its the goofy looking Crimson driver. They are pushing for me to contact XFX and ask them if the card will do 240hz. I would be surprised if it couldn't handle that when people were...

Talking to support and they are trying to say that the monitor requires at least a r7 260... which in the manual it says: System requirement Free-Sync function 1. Free-Sync function is working with DP/HDMI1/HDMI2 DP : 48~240Hz HDMI1:48~240Hz(HDMI2.0) HDMI2: 48~120Hz(HDMI1.4) 2. Compatible...

i was thinking that since they are displayport 1.2, and displayport 1.2 supports 1920x1080 @ 240hz that it shouldn't be a problem especially considering im playing older games and get extremely high fps. and even in rocket league i get 240 fps atleast.

I know my cards are a bit outdated but they have Displayport 1.2 on them, but this 240hz monitor I picked up is capped at 144hz. Yes, I read the monitor manual and I made sure to install the driver for the AOC AG251FZ. I even tried using CRU to manually add the res+hz Anyone else run into this...

Tried older drivers and nothing seems to work. Tried the oldest available on the AMD site and the one that came with my card (on disc), 10.12

Answering with "Get another card." is not helpful nor does it answer the question. To update, I've since put a fresh installation of Windows on my other motherboard (Intel DP67BG), installed the latest (non-beta) Catalyst Control Center back on, and still don't see the performance increase...

Yep, in fullscreen. I will let ya'll know when I re-install with the other mobo. It has a better layout anyways.

I believe you are referring to Frame Pacing, which my card does have. V-sync is disabled in all games, always.

Also the game I'm playing is Rocket League. Which I've noticed when loading has the AMD Crossfire Technology logo in the top right corner. It's like they are advertising Crossfire, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm getting zero performance out of it.

I am going to install my setup on a different motherboard, Intel DP67BG, so maybe that will resolve the issue. Re-image of Windows has been long overdue. AFAIK, that Intel mobo, should give me two PCI-E 2.0 @ 16x instead of 16x and 4x. So with that, hopefully I get better performance.

I have two AMD XFX 6970's in crossfire, I can see crossfire enabled in the Catalyst Control Center, but I'm not getting any increase in frames. I have the following setup: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz ASUS P8Z68-V LE G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM Seasonic...

Whether or not it is enough power is not the problem... the problem is that there are not enough PCI-E connectors on my current PSU to plug into a second card. I do now have a new PSU with enough PCI-E cables but still having trouble with it. My motherboard is an Asus P8Z68 with an (8pin EATX...

I already had the 2nd card. I'm not going out of my way to run these cards. I said I can pick up a third for 60 bucks. Whats the big deal? lol I understand the cons outweigh the pros for any crossfire or sli machine i just thought it would be fun to goof around and try it.

my current 620 watt psu did not have the extra 6 & 6+2 power connectors for my second GPU. Therefore I needed a PSU that provided that. I have taken the comments into consideration and I appreciate everyone's input. It has been very resourceful. I may pick up a 3rd video card just to try it...

Thermaltake any good? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153155

Would these do? Or something similar to these specs https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139140 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152072

looks like my current PSU doesnt even have the pins I need for the two cards. My current PSU says it has 1 x Main connector (20+4Pin) 1 x 4/8-Pin ATX 12V / EPS 12V So the 24-pin EATXPWR, and the 8-pin EATX12v So total: 24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin EATX12v 2x6 PCI-E and I would need 2x8 PCI-E pin...

Well, shutting off is just the best case scenario of what can happen with under voltage problems. How's Corsair for the PSU market? Because Seasonic out of stock everywhere I look...

I know the TDP is 250 and at idle its around 20. But I'm obviously going to be playing games. I just wanna be sure before I stick this thing in my PC and fire up a game and then end up having to replace my mobo or something.

So right there it sounds like the full wattage of my PSU. And then if I put any sort of load on it with a game for e.g. I'm probably gonna start dancing around the max wattage of my PSU and possibly fry some components. I mention buying a 1200 watt because I'll probably throw in a 3rd card for...

Are these sites reliable in what results they give? http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/ https://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html?name=Power-Supply-Wattage-Calculator https://www.msi.com/power-supply-calculator All but cooler master saying that my PSU...

I'm trying to think of what is worse.. the light bleed from IPS or my CRT's poor contrast and brightness... seems that the only decent monitors out there are like 800$ but I would still wanna test them against the CRT for input lag to see if there is a noticeable difference.

lol i dont have the energy to pick apart everything you say because there is literally just too much. the amount of stuff you got wrong and literally misread is outstanding. re-read what you posted and then re-read my original post and actually take the time to read the information in that...

literally everything you posted was either wrong, misinterpreted or both.. its seriously cringe worthy. and then the people liking the comment makes me cringe as well. i honestly expect more from people from this forum.

This is why I hate the internet. People are neurotic and insecure and are afraid to say anything that may be wrong, and heaven forbid they admit to being wrong when challenged. Please look at the specs, and if you have the opportunity to see them in person... please do so. Viewsonic Flat...

I'm sorry but what does that sentence " Maybe if you'd actually participated, someone could have educated you about how computer graphics work in comparison to real life" have to do with the fact that the computer monitor industry has made sluggishly slow advancments in resolution, refresh rate...

lmao why the hell would you bring a lazer printer to a lan party, bro? LOL WOW Please enlighten us because you would only be doing the entire gaming/hardware community a favor

Gsynch is a remarketed V-sync, which causes a very noticeable input lag. Which is why most serious fps gamers turn that crap off. You're saying that your 1200$ monitor in the year 2016 is capable of producing similar results of a monitor from 1997? THAT'S REALLY IMPRESSIVE. This is my whole...

What games do you play? What monitor do you use to play them? Your attempts to dissuade me with stupid retorts like "some knob with 12 posts" are pretty childish and non-relevant to the topic. My tenure on the forum discredits my knowledge and experience? Your logic is truly flawless! Forgive me...

This is a valid point. I honestly had no idea The Hobbit had used animatronics with enhanced CGI in the movie. BUT I must confess I've always felt animatronics LOOK more real, but they just don't MOVE more real. This is obviously a limitation of the robotics in charge of moving the cervos and...

Do me a favor, load up CS:GO, type in console, "fps_override 1" & "fps_max 24" then see how great that looks. That is literally what movies are displayed at. 24 frames per second. and people were actually complaining about how the hobbit looked awful with 60fps... this is just too funny to me.

I've owned a few decent quality Samsung TV's and monitors and comparing them to my crappiest CRT monitor and the picture is just worse. CRT just has deeper blacks, better frame rates, smoother edges... honestly the only thing the LCD has going for it is the brightness. But with a 5ms response...
