Excellent? my a$$ ( have you ever had an x750? or just talking on the reviews you see on the Internet? have you heard those beatiful sounds: "pop" "bang" have you seen those shiny blue sparks? :eek: only missing smoke and fire:D) . They are Good, but no such a thing as excellent and that...

what changed? = GTX 480 because is a power hog, and mobo i killed tha previous due to thermal grease dot contact in the socket area (i still dont know how it got there, i swear) everything else is pretty much like it always has been:o

Go with Seasonic despite of my experience:o i cant think of a better oem maybe flextronics but thats only available in AX 1200 model from corsair:eek:

OK, so how you could explain this anormal behavior on my units?, both are seasonic because the silencer that i had was seasonic made (i dont think it was made by sirfa) but i tought if i purchase an X-750 i wouldnt have a single problem again ....puff... it was worse...at least the silencer...

Well, lets see: - proper grounding :) - reliable voltage regulator :) - heating voltage regulator due to possible over voltage :( Over voltage could be the reason althought my voltage regulator is working properly i shouldnt have problems because my voltage is being regulated :cool...

any unit can be stable or crap, is a matter of luck, so that "you get what you pay for" is nothing but bs. PC&PC Silencer 750 only lasted on my rig 1.5yo and was light use, died when i used a gtx 480 for one month of heavy gaming, then i tried the fabulous Seasonic X750 Gold Plus 80+...

+1 i had a pcp&c 750 that did the same thing but you could hear some electrical noise not like coil whine rather like a tik tik i wasnt the fan of psu, i guess was some bad caps or something but i didnt bother with RMA so i just bought Seasonic X750 and no more problems:cool:

i have a similar problem lately, after many issues finally i realized that my psu is kinda dead, turns on fans and system but makes weird noises when any kind of load is applied, is a pcpower&cooling 750w and only 1 1/2 old but i opened it so i void my warranty:o but after reading the antics...

my psu is a pcpower&cooling 750w (year and a half old), the electrical noise come from gtx480 but as you said ;) it could be psu as well ...what voltages and amps should i get? 12v accurate in the 12v rail and 60amps? what wires (colors) of the psu i have to read with the voltmeter?:confused:

my gtx480 squeals a lot when I'm gaming (not previously occurred) and my pc shuts down, at first only did when i loaded 3d applications, then after just five minutes of surfing and general use and now immediately turns off as having some short so i took everything out of the case and test just...

thanks mate, but now I have a different problem, my gtx480 squeals a lot when I'm gaming (not previously occurred) and my pc shuts down, at first only did when i loaded 3d applications, then after just five minutes of surfing and general use and now immediately turns off as having some short so...

i think ur right but after many years and oblivion+crazy aa, still a demanding game:eek: i thought ill fly even with crazy maxed out options:D So, in order to get 60fps i should disable any kind of AA and TSMAA right? or have to lower other options? maybe with vsync off:p

yeah just vanilla, i tried original textures first, later ill try with qarl texture pack:D altought im not sure if ill get playable framerates

Yesterday I started to play oblivion with all the highest values in the menu of the game, and in the nvidia control panel I put the following configuration: triple buffer - active Texture filtering - high quality negative lod - fixation Anisotropic filtering - 16x limit of the extension -...

u think sli gtx 480 is worth for this game? i have money for a new setup and gtx 480sli but i think its overkill...(and i thought i was [H]ard):o...plus other games that would justify spend so much money? (enjoy crysis and then what? metro? meh..i dont like games like stalker they are buggy and...

@Astrodave yeah i finally ran the benchmark tool and the results werent so nice: but when i ran with no AA: why my fps goes down when i choose 4AA if im bottlenecked anyways?:confused: this kinda sucks, i tought this quad was enough for gtx 480 since its barely better than a...

when I run the timedemo benchmark_gpu I have to play it, should not run alone?:confused: ie it should be like the benchmark of fear generated by the game does not? or each loop is a separate mission? I do not understand very well when it is assumed that each loop is finished? it's boring having...

can u post a gif pic of crysis bench of guru3d with: level name, number of loops, time of the day etc.. where u got ur numbers? :) so i could realize the difference please;)

I have no problem with your opinion mate;) but ill like to know what makes the diference? its g31 but it has full pci x16 slot v1.1 wich is equal to pci x8 2.0, thats 5% performance drop, so basically i need something like 400mhz more in my quad right?:confused: those 400mhz could help:(:(...

So, today my gtx 480 arrived and everything looks good and got that lovely smell of new hardware:D. I fired crysis right away everything at very high:D 1920x1200 no AA, fraps usually stays on 30's 35's sometimes 55ish, is that ok? i mean its the first level at the beach....i...

I can not agree more with you mate, today I decided to buy the gtx 480 should arrive on Friday. At first I wanted an ati card but as you say gsod problems have no apparent solution, however the heat of the gtx 480 can be controlled with good air conditioning, watercooling .. but you have more...

You can thank TSMC for all the problems and most certain is that the nvidia fermi may also have problems of instability due to design problems, high temperatures, low yields etc etc. In other words both nvidia and ati are screwed because of the inability of TSMC. This stinks because you can not...

LOOL and i just thinking about 2years when it could be only 1, go figures...:o Damn thats really fast even if arent many good dx11 games that justifies the hd 5870, later the hd6870 arrives, so i guess it doesnt matter if get this or that:confused:, in 1 year will be outdated&busted by the new...

If its real, so the powersavings costs with hd 5870 only make it worth for me in the long run say 3 years at least and i dont plan to keep it that long, 2 years will be enough i think, but what if some cool dx11 games appear before and i cant play them well with gtx 295, that is scary, i already...

thanks everyone for the answers, is clear now, hd 5870 or fermi gtx 380 nothing less, you see i want something that last me 2 years minimun, being optimistic:cool: of course the waiting game sucks but im not made of money you know:D and i really hope NV will bring the card before december of...

I would like to buy a gtx 295 because in my country cost me $ 370 dollars and HD 5870 $515(yes $126 of ripoff but there isnt another dealer right now) both as to taxes, the 295 is cheaper and faster:D but the 5870 has DX11 (future proof factor) and slightly slower:mad:, do you guys think the...

I need to know if is worth upgrade q9300 to q9550, only for more frames in gta 4, the [H] reviews only test qx9650 vs i7 920 and such, but no the q9400 or q9300 so no clear answers, how much gain in frames could i expect? is marginal or like night and day:confused:

yes gtx 275 is my next purchase;) or maybe if just hold on a little a hd5870!:eek::D but right now im not sure, of course i7 would be awesome but is out my budget besides i only do gaming encoding home videos and light stuff:o

Right now my system does all i need just fine, basically i just bought this rig for gta 4 because i dont like crappy consoles (360) and i went for a quad core, that was 3 moths ago and i paid the same amount of what today i could have a q9550, thing is the 6mb extra really matters in gta4 or is...

Good point, you think that dx11 will bring more and better games than dx10 did? cause for me only crysis and gta 4 made me upgrade my previous system A64 3700+ 6600gt etc...etc...

"While I know it can be frustrating to see new hardware come out and supercede your stuff two to three months from now, just remember it isn't like your hardware turned to useless garbage or something of that sort." what i really dislike is the dx revisions or something like the pixel shader...

9600gt ,sometimes the 9600gt win where 4670 fail and viceversa.;)

What would u do in my place (system's spec in signature): buy a gtx 275 that matches my nvidia case:cool: or buy a hd 4890 wich almost match a gtx 285:D or wait for a possible hd 5870 dx-11 this summer? SLI or Crossfire arent option for me since i only got one pci-e slot, and both are...
