Hmm, perhaps, but I have a rule against buying first batches of GPUs anyways since I've had to RMA both launch batch cards I ever bought.

My specs are in my signature. I'm debating upgrading my two 6870s to a single GTX 770. Would this be a worthy upgrade for me? I'm not ready to build an entirely new computer yet. I'm hoping to get another year or two out of this current computer as performance wise it's fine for everything but...

I'm really glad to see they're addressing this issue finally. I have dual 6870s and most games the microstutter is low but some games (Bioshock Infinite for one) never really felt smooth even though I was getting around 100 fps. I might just have to play through that one again.

If you go with the Xonar DX, I recommend these 3rd party drivers. Especially if you do any kind of sound work. The low DPC latency version of those drivers cuts the latency way down and the ASIO 1.0 version allows you to play music through foobar with ASIO and not silence all the other sounds on...

Seems like they made a good choice. This kind of technology isn't really ready for gaming yet.

I'm hoping to upgrade to Haswell if the figures look good. I'm running an i7 920 still and I think the boost I'll get will be worth it to me with this gen.

I'm hoping for something like this as well but may just cave and go for 1080p with LED/120hz soon to support my CS:GO addiction.

I would disagree wholeheartedly on this one. Sure, the games that have come out lately haven't been pushing things graphically very much but a lot of very fun games (imo) came out last year and are coming out this year. I love shiny new graphics as much as the next guy but gaming is way better...

As posted by Bashiok here 4600 and up cards should work fine, and those running XP need not worry at all. So, don't revert your drivers unless you are running an older card on Vista/7.

Generally one error does mean to replace. They'll probably have you send the whole set back in. I'm assuming you are running the correct timings listed for the memory right?

Here is the current CPUZ validation. I set RAM to 1.5 since the specs for this RAM list 1333 mhz as being 1.5v. Went through 5 iterations of p95 without crashing but the temps did strangely drop to 46C for a few seconds during the test and then went back up. Could just be a CoreTemp bug though...

I'm using an i7 920 D0. I've used 1.18v on the CPU and 1.65 on this RAM at 9-9-9-24 when I had 6GB. I recently installed another 6GB kit and the same overclock still is producing good results so I figure that I didn't have things as tight as possible before, so I pushed the volts to 1.15v and...

Agreed. I ordered a new hard drive since my 500GB filled up and had to order another 6 gigs for my machine. No sense not with prices the way they are at the moment.

If they (AMD) don't fix this before launch I'm going to lose a lot of respect for them. Like Superhuman said, this is the release of the year. I'm going to pre-download the 12.3 drivers just in case but I hope that a CAP will come out before the 15th to fix this.

I'm getting so very tempted to upgrade right about now...

I did this and the performance is great in everything out right now (at 1080p.)

Well the hitching is gone now that I moved the mouse to a 2.0 USB slot.

Hmm, my mouse is plugged into USB3. But does this mean that I can't use those USB3 ports at all with the SSD? EDIT: Also, here are my current speeds with CrystalDiskMark. http://i.imgur.com/75tdv.png

Ah, I see what you mean now. Sadly enough, I seem to be getting some weird hitching issues. The mouse will slow down randomly and the browser won't scroll for a few seconds and then respond again. Not sure if it's related but it's quite annoying.

I'm able to Defrag the drive. I cancel it before it's done analyzing, but it seems like it would go through with it. EDIT: Also, every time I boot Windows my storage drive opens an autoplay dialog window. What is this all about? Also, the drive gets 7.8 in the Windows Experience test thing.

Okay, I have Windows up and running and two older HDDs connected as well. I'm wondering how to disable scheduled defragmentation for only the SSD but not the other hard drives however. EDIT: Also, should I install the Intel Matrix RSP driver from Intel directly or install the one on Asus' page...

Ah, good to know! Yeah I definitely will use the more consistent Intel controller then.

I think I'll just use the Intel SATA2 ports. Some people are saying that TRIM isn't working over the Marvell controllers and the performance on the Intel is slower in some aspects, but it seems most scores are generally more consistent with the Intel controller. I just hope my shipment arrives...

Hmm, they are Marvell. Is it possible to switch if I run into issues later down the line? Isn't the 6GB quite a bit faster?

Ah, I see. Will hooking up the old windows drive after the system is configured cause issues likely? Also, I have an Asus P6X58D Premium motherboard and I'm wondering which SATA port is the best to use for this drive. There are two SATA3 ports (SATA5/SATA6.) Also, thanks for the hibernation tip...

It should be arriving tomorrow, and I was wondering what tips people have for installing these drives. I plan to upgrade the firmware from my current installation of windows, but I was wondering if it's possible (and not error prone) to install windows 7 for a second time onto the SSD, and then...

I just upgraded from my 4890 to a 6870 and I don't regret it one bit. Much smoother performance (I went from BF3 at low at around 20-60 fps to high (no AA) at 50-90 fps.)

I ordered a 6870 just for this game myself. I've been running a 4890 for awhile but this game really strains it.

I've found that XFX has pretty high quality products. I and my brother bought XFX cards awhile back that never failed on either of us.

Yeah I wouldn't upgrade just yet. I have a 4890 and I'm still holding back since I game at 1080p and haven't had performance issues yet.

I've had good MSI products in the past (motherboards mainly) but never a GPU. The design looks fine to me, but I never take that into consideration when buying a GPU.

Router only operates in b/g/n not a so that's not an option. I'm considering the cable thing though. Lately it has been fairly decent and I'm likely going to move to a rental house in a couple of months where there won't be as much interference so I might just deal with it until then.

Spending more isn't an option right now (poor college student, helping parents save for a down payment on a rental house.) Right now it's somewhat working in channel 11 in 54 mbps. I just wish there was some way to get the N speeds in this apartment.

I'm using a 4890 and it still performs quite well for all games, and I game at 1920x1080. I don't use full AA on all games but I don't notice a huge difference between 2x and 8x anyways.

It's gotten horrible. Another person has set up a router and now I'm getting disconnects on every channel on g mode.

In the time graph that router spikes above the line mine is drawing occationally. However I just tried playing a game for about 10 minutes and it didn't dc (before it lasted about 1 minute.) Should I enable IEEE802.11h in my wireless options? It says on wiki it helps use less of the spectrum but...

I think I may have found out what was causing the issue... I used inSSIDer 2.0 and one of the routers in the apartment complex is spiking up and down really fast, while the rest are remaining around a constant Amplitude. Is it possible that someone's router is malfunctioning and ruining the...

I fixed it by reconfiguring the router to use WEP instead of WPA2

I recently bought an Asus PCE-N13 pci-e x1 wireless card and I am getting constant drop outs. The internet works fine, but in any games after about 1-2 minutes I lose the connection. I'm using Win7 x64 and tried the stock drivers that it installed, Asus's drivers, and even RALink drivers since...

Considering skid row just describes the type of map that it was, I don't think it had anything to do with the cracking group.
