I am not sure if this has been mentioned but BIOS 1002 for the M7H has been posted. Maximus VII Hero BIOS 1002

I just upgraded from the EVGA X58 SLI with the i7 950 to the Maximus VII Hero with the 4790k and it has been rocking so far. I will be torture testing it over a 24 hour period but in games it's been running fine. The DIMMs are Corsar 1866 Vengeance C9.

SimCity & Metro.

Found the issue: After trying a different PSU the computer would boot successfully. I re-seated all the MB power connectors & the machine is booting fine now with the original PSU.

Bueller?

Installing it through Origin right now

I really like the Metro UI and my flat-screen LCD. I think W8 and HTPCs are a great fit, even more so with XBMC.

Has anyone else gotten this combo to work? Whenever I try to install WSE2012 through UEFI/BIOS it fails. The computer reboots before I even get into the setup GUI. So far, I have only been able to boot into DOS. I've removed all PCIE cards, unplugged hard drives, and updated the BIOS to...

Has anyone else noticed that the elevation bonus seems to be bugged? When I go into the more info screen the bonus is actually counting against me. Am I reading it right?

My playlist: Borderlands 2 Darksiders 2 Alan Wake Eagerly awaiting XCOM & Dishonored.

A mod for the demo is out. The mod allows you to modify difficulty, weapons, enemies, and armor. A big plus is that it lets you skip the tutorial mission. I really believe that the mod will give you a fair idea of what the full game will be like...

Nice! The Borderlands 2 tweak guide is up at Geforce(dot)com

Installing the latest PhysX drivers fixed my issue with framerate dropping into the teens. http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.12.0613-driver.html Also, I set power management mode in the Borderlands 2 profile to maximum performance.

I had a game going with 4 buddies, all of us chatting on TeamSpeak. This was the game at it's best, a highlight in my gaming experiences.

Omg, I finally have a smooth running game. My fix was to install the latest PhysX drivers. Make sure download these! After I did, my game ran like a champ! http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.12.0613-driver.html

Yea, that's just an example.

I found that setting "Power Management Mode" in the Borderlands 2 profile page to "Prefer Maximum Performance" helped a ton but the clocks on my 680s stayed at 700mhz instead of the normal 1158. GPU utilization still stayed low, but gameplay was smoother. I don't want to disable or lower PhysX...

I think something is screwy with Physx, Im going to try it tonight on low.

IIRC, Evga's tool showed the clocks on the GPU set to full speed but utilization only rose to 60% at the highest.

I will try this. The frame rate drop into the teens is bothersome. There is no reason that frame rate should be that low on my rig

Is anyone else seeing low GPU utilization? I have everything to set to their highest, with Physx on High, but my GPUs rarely go over 60%. In complex Physx scenes, my FPS will drop to 18FPS but the GPUs are still not hitting 100%.

Amazon's product page says that you can pre-load it. Anyone have success with that? I cannot find it anywhere.

lol, I guess I did!

I'm jonesing already.....

"01:56PM - 4x the peak FP throughput of Nehalem" - http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1715867&page=2 Four times the FP performance of Nehalem? I'll take it! Keep in mind I am running an i7-950.

Computer Audio forum a better fit for this?

User mods are a big WIN for PC gaming.

I am looking forward to this. My laptop is already connected up to the TV

Not quite true. All you need to do is hook up your PC to the TV. The Microsoft Wireless receiver for Xbox controllers will let you use up to 4 controllers on the PC. However, and this is big a big "however", PC games tend to eschew split-screen gaming whereas on consoles the feature is included...

I am surprised these have not shown up sooner. For those living under a rock, these are from Nvidia's Tech Demo, A New Dawn. Download it at

I just installed 8 over the weekend. In my mind, the Metro interface is just a flashier start menu. I still use the Windows key and start typing for the application I need. I added the "Computer" and Control Panel tiles to the main screen just like on the W7 start menu. This is nearly the exact...

Darksiders II FYI, these SS were made with the recommended tweaks for the game in the Nvidia Control Panel

lol, I am in the same boat. I have over 100 hours into BF3 and I need to give it a break.

Mine is Darksiders II, Max Payne 3, and some Mechwarrior Online mixed in.

Agreed with most of the input here. The gameplay is standard, but if you let yourself be taken in by the story you will most definitely leave impressed.
