Ugh. Can't believe I wasted another precious evening, posting to a click bait/tech drama forum thread. We should all get cards. Dr. Hsu needs to come down here right now and pull an Oprah and we all get cards! What a waste...goddam tech sites!

Oh come on. Don't do that! Look, I was only pointing out that there was a controversy RE: 970 (and it was a controversy; whether it was caused by unfair marketing campaign on behalf of AMD or legitimate grievances by the public, team Green did issue a statement to quell the public...

Yep. You guys should have "piled-on" during the 970/3.5 controversy and this makes Roy MADDD!!!11!! Perhaps I missed the coverage but, you guys never had a dedicated article RE:970/3.5 thing...right? I know some sites covered that issue and some didn't and if I can recall correctly, you did...

Wow! Roy Taylor...Assloch extraordinaire! and guess where he is from? Texas. Texas, a breeding ground of yahoos and asslochs. The state that gave us David Koresh, horrible leather footwear/headgear, and Walker Texas Ranger. Thanks Texas!

During my entire life on line, I was proud to say that I've never been Rick-Rolled. Thanks alot.

I second the motion that this is a good read...very informative. However, This is the problem with my favored GPU company called AMD. I really don't give a hoot about DX12 right now. Heck, I haven't even upgraded to Win10 yet. I'll end up going with Win10, when it becomes more stable. This...

I was just posting an honest assessment from someone who haven't used an nVidia card in a while. Not trying to knock one company over another. Personally, I find these Red vs. Green flame wars irrelevant... brand loyalty to a point where you say horrible things to others to prove minor...

I've only suggested the "bake" method since the OP indicated that he wishes for either a quicker resolution to the matter or a quicker RMA. From my experience, XFX RMA tends to be on the slower side (three weeks turnaround time is about right) compared to other GPU vendors. I say bake the card...

Ooops. My sincerest apologies to Sir(if Knighted) Pete Townsend for inaccurate memory. Shouldn't be taking all that crap I read on Gawker for the truth.

Finally got the GTX 960... Can't believe the performance on this lower mid-range card, especially with the gimped 128 bus. It matches and in some games, surpasses(only by a bit) the R9 280 with lower power consumption and less noise/heat. Speaking as a person who usually stands in the red...

From what I've been reading here (and other sites), I thought baking the PCB in hot oven fixes some artifacting issues? Although, those seem to be quite heavy artifacting.

I couldn't agree with you more. AMD is the WORST tech company of all time. If EA and Comcast got together and had a baby, it would be so much better than AMD. Lisa Hsu is the biggest fail CEO of all timezzz! There you go, I hope my words bring warmth and comfort to you and all those you hate.

Perhaps putting that in the oven@500F?

This is so true. Up until now, I've never realized that looking at pornographic materials online was actually an advanced research project for a human sexuality study. Wasn't there a case a few years back, where a member of a famous British rock band was caught with Petabytes of child porn on...

What Would Josh Duggar Do? When in doubt...WWJDD.

I have thought about selling both cards, however, bad experience with Ebay a while back (sold a Nehalem CPU/board combo that I've tested twice...four months later, without even trying to contact me, left a bad review under my name saying the board was bunk). I like the 290 but, gets really...

Oh, how the mind explores all sorts of possibilities...especially, when you're about to get a free video card... From the few reviews I've seen to date, it's seems that the 960 SLI beats a single 290 at every way (eg. FPS, FR, noise, temps, and especially power, lower by good 50W for a dualie...

960 (2GB) SLI vs. single R9 290? Thinking about adding a second 960 FTW for SLI. Not a fanboi here but, I tend to lean slightly towards the red camp. Last time I had a Green GPU was GTX 470 so, not really familiar with newer nVidia cards. My only experience with multi-GPU setup was a pair...

:eek: +1 I sincerely hope that this problem is fixed by nVidia. I was hoping to replace my aging 290 with the 970 at a future date. When someone pays a premium for a new GPU, you paid for 4GB, not 3.5 & change. Another example of satiating the share holder before consumer. This issue should not...

My last GPU was GTX 570(vanilla) and a couple months ago, upgraded to 7950. I had mentioned here a bit back that I had single card stutter issues with the 7950. Well, after ironing that problem out, I coulnd'nt be happier. Initially, I wanted to stay with the green team because the 570 worked...

Since you guys are talking about 120Mhz deal: does anyone know the effects of gaming @ 60 vs. 120 to the eyes? I could game for about 3-4 hours straight when I was younger but now, my eyes get too fatigued after about an hour. Any ophthalmologists in here?

Get the whiskey but, try something new! Isn't the 780 like 500 bucks or something? I don't know what the 25er Macdaddy costs these days...last time I could afford that bottle, it was something like 89.99 at the local liqua sto'. That was a long time ago. There's so much more to life than AMD...

Which card will have better performance...or does it matter? Parents PC: non-gaming, lotsa streaming 1080p vids, surfing, E-mail, etc. They're running Phenom II x4 840 w/ 8GB RAM. I'd appreciate your input.

Anyone have this board? All opinions welcome. Is it comparable to an Asus P8Z77V-PRO in regards to build quality? I don't know too much about Asrock boards. How's the PCB? I've read somewhere that Asrock PCB is a bit lacking. Best regards!

Well, the thing is...this symptom is not limited to Source engine based games. It happens to other titles as well(Fallout series, Oblivion, COH...these are all somewhat ancient titles). Usually, I zero-out my OS & dedicated games drives every six to eight months or so and reload the...

I've been experiencing this "stutter" as well. Recently upgraded from GTX 570 to HD 7950...I've never experienced this problem with any of my GPUs. The 570 and the 6870 in backup systems does not have this problem. This symptom happens even when playing older titles, such as L4D2 and CS:GO. Once...

I've considered the Sandy-E route but, after seeing some initial numbers regarding the entry fee and power consumption numbers...not my cup of Joe. I think the real winners are people who originally invested in the X58 platforms with a nice OCing 920s. How long has the Bloomfield platform been...

Ah-Ha! So, it is true! BD will be (I guess the operative word is "hopefully") released in October by our good friends @ Advanced Micro Delays. Thanx for the tip Batman!

Finally, finished building the 2500K. I bought the PRO version in January and it was a pain trying to get that set-up to work (the thing would not boot, no matter what I tried). So, I returned the PRO and waited all this time, only to settle on the vanilla version in the end. I needed two PCI...

As PC enthusiasts, we tend to forget some of the necessities in life and although your build is a fine one, let us not forget what's really important: I'm assuming you're a bachelor of the male variety. You should really invest in a mattress cover. From this angle, the mattress is a Sealy...

Like others, why upgrade the MB? I'm running a P6T DLX V2/950 set-up right now and, I too, had thoughts of replacing this MB for a Sabertooth X58 since it has so many great reviews. However, Even though the SBX58 has USB3 and SATA6, I think it lacks that little Splashtop SSD (more like a...

I think there's something wrong with the temp sensors with the MB. So, I installed CoreTemp last night and left the PC on idle overnight. The temps were in the range of 17C and 19C. I don't know what the load temps are but, these seem really low...abnormally low. I'm running this system...

Hello Folks! Recently, I've built an Athlon 2 X4 640 HTPC and this is my first AMD rig since the mighty Manchester core so, please allow this n00b to ask the following: Using HWmonitor, my idle temps are hover between 11C and 12C and @ load 23C-26C. Do these temps seem right to you...

Oh, hear me friends..... I know it's a bit early to speculate on such matters but, in order to upgrade from Sandy to Ivy, do you think it will be a socket change or just a BIOS update on existing P67 boards(kinda like the upgrade path from Kentsfield to Yorkfield)? The reason for this...

I have a HTC Snap running WM 6.1 and whenever I connect the phone to my PC via USB, The phone is recognized yet the active window becomes active then inactive repeatedly, making it very difficult to type. I knew how to resolve this issue a long time ago and since I have forgotten the method...

I'm trying to run this board with two HD 4770 and I'm having no luck. Is this even possible? I'd appreciate any help that you can provide. It is hooked up to a PC Power Silencer 750W, so, I'm assuming it's not a power issue. The PC will not recognize Crossfire.

Hi. I've recently received a pair of 4770s (XFX) as a gift and X-fired them. My config was as follows: i7 920 (stock speed) P6T DLX V.2 6GB PC1600 WD Caviar BLK 1TB (single drive) HX850 PSU WIN7 PRO I have been running this rig with a EVGA SC GTX260-216 for about a year. Well...

A quick question from a n00b, if I may... I have two PCs: First PC: Core i7 920 Asus P6T DLX v.2 6 GB Crucial Ballistix DDR3 PC1600 WD Caviar BLK 1TB (1001FALS) TV tuner card SB Audigy Corsair HX850 PSU Case: HAF 932 Display: Asus 20" and 24" LCD, both 1920x1080, clone mode...
