    ASUS & [H]ardOCP Haswell Z87 ROG Motherboard Giveaway! Week 2

    Question: We’ve made some significant upgrades to UEFI across the board [pun intended]. Which new feature is most exciting to you? After watching the video describing the new UEFI implementation for the new Z87 boards, while the SSD secure erase feature is a very nice and needed addition (and...

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire Bundle Lucky Draw

    Nice! I already run a 6990 on one and a 6970 on another system. I can't live without my Eyefinity - 3x 24" @1920x1200 each. Having 7970 would be just that more awesome!

    Galaxy 6 Weeks of Christmas GPU Giveaway! Week 4

    Lol, realistically, this is all it takes to enter: I do not currently have any type of Galaxy card. I read good things about their products. Anything I said about their products would be pure speculation based on second-hand information provided by other parties. Would I like to have one...

    Galaxy 6 Weeks of Christmas GPU Giveaway! Week 2

    Hah! It's so cute! (I'm starting to understand how these threads work) I like what I've heard about Galaxy customer support - fast response to issue noted by purchasers of their products, and they stand by their product. I like what I've read about Galaxy video cards - smart integration of...

    Galaxy 6 Weeks of Christmas GPU Giveaway!

    Not a current Galaxy owner, but have moved it towards the top of my "next-must-have" list after seeing how the company supports its customers... not to mention the designs of the new (now not so new) GPUs... everything from the cooling to the colors make Galaxy cards a "must-have."

    Are there any all-in-one watercooling kits for the AMD 7970?

    These look interesting: http://www.maingear.com/epic/gpu.php I don't have one but they do look nice for an all-in-one solution.

    [H]ardOCP & ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti DirectCU II Giveaway

    I have read that the ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti DirectCU II would provide me with the capabilities to play with overclocking while staying cool (as it uses the same cooler as on their 670) and comes to me in a more affordable price point. This would allow me to purchase additional (if I won this...

    Upgrade advice for 3x 1920x1200 monitors

    I have a Matrox TH2Go running 3 x 1680 x 1050 on 1 system and recently upgraded my 5870 1gb to a 5870 2gb driving my 3 x 1920 x 1200 primary system. I, too, am waiting to see what the performance specs look like later this month.

    Eyefinity and Crossfire?

    I'm with the OP on this one... does it work yet or not? I'm asking because I have the 5870 2gb with EyeFinity 6 outputs... is it time to buy a second for the crossfire support or not?

    Odd 5870 issues noted... anyone else?

    Update #2 - Replaced 5870 1gb Vapor-X with 5870 2gb E6 card... notice smoother video on 3x1 array while gaming.

    5970 display port problem.

    Try: 1. Make sure your graphics card is not OC'd. OC'ing caused mine to act in a similar manner... make sure to disable any graphics card auto-OC too. 2. Then maybe try for a graphics card BIOS update which may allow for more voltage to the display outputs. Read somewhere that a new BIOS update...

    My Crossfire vs SLI Confusion

    Thanks for the additional info Mr Mean. My kids play the BF series as well as MW2, etc, but I am currently hooked on Battleground Europe:WWII Online. WWIIOL doesn't take advantage of multiple GPUs yet, this I found out while trying to get the best framerates with GTX-275 SLi on a Matrox TH2Go...

    My Crossfire vs SLI Confusion

    Dell U2410

    The 3 I ordered back in Nov 09 are fine. I read about all the tinting issues and ordered with crossed-fingers. I am happy with my 3 A01 U2410s... gonna order a few more for my new 5870 2gb soon.

    My Crossfire vs SLI Confusion

    Not all games take advantage of SLI, so much as you need to manage profiles or make manual changes to games where SLI would have an effect. Does Crossfire work the same way or is Crossfire different from SLI? Does a game that doesn't take advantage of SLI benefit from a Crossfire setup?

    Eyefinity 6 - how many mini DP adapters?

    The newer Eyefinity 6 (E6) cards have 6 mini DP ports (lol redundant?) but they only come with 2 adapters for each type of connection usually found on monitors. In my case, I am using Dell U2410s and would like to use DP for all of them. Before I make my purchase, do I need the less...

    Intel i7 930 @ 3.8GHz 1.184v solid as a rock

    I had tried using the MSI overclock utility which supports the board, but this usually resulted in lock-ups. Going straight to the BIOS settings produced the best results. It may turn out later that the MSI utility will only be good for some fine tuning since I wouldn't have to reboot between...
