My monitor has a 60hz refresh rate and is 1440p. What would the advantage be for me to use a different connection than DVI-D? You can see my rig in my sig.

What's better, assuming an equal framerate, 1080p at max eye candy or 2k with a few setting reduced. Your thoughts?

Got a 1070g1 gigabyte and a 3570k running at 4.2 with 16 gigs of ram. Getting a 2k monitor and I'm wondering if it will be an upgrade visually to 1080p and if I will be able to run at decent framerates. I know I may have to lower some settings. What do you think? The new monitor has a wider...

Its in warranty....what do you think they will replace it with. Its a Gigabyte.

I would like to see a comparison between the 290/x series and the 780ti now that Mantle is here for BF4. Just curious.

Any new rumors about the Mantle patch for BF4? Problems with the game delayed the release in December and then the rumor mill was January 15. Just curious as I would like to see how much it raises the performance of the 290/x series.

I am replacing the 6970 and the OCZ 700 watt PSU in my sig with a Gigabyte 780TI OC and a Sea Sonic Platinum 760 watt PSU. For now I'm staying with my 1080p monitor, but I may get a 2560x1440 down the road. So what do you think? Decent gaming rig?

Pardon me up front for the rant but....... I'm all set to buy a new card to replace my 6970 with a 7970 when the 290/x series is announced by AMD along with Mantle. The cards finally get released for review and they perform great but are noisier than I can accept. Okay, lets wait for AIB cards...

I am considering buying a GTX 780 Ti. It specifies a need for a power supply with at least 42 amps on the 12V rail. My power supply is an OCZ Mod Stream 700. It appears to have a split rail delivering 25 amps to each 12V plug. Do I need a new PSU?

Does AMD seriously expect me to pre order a card that they are not giving me one iota of information on regarding the specs? Are they seriously asking for pre orders and not even revealing the price? I mean......seriously? For what it's worth I am planning on getting a new card to replace my...

Gaming is the most intensive application for my rig. I see many people here on the [H] overclocking their Ivy/Sandy CPU'S to 4.8+. I settled on a modest overclock of 4.2. I run a single GPU....how much performance would I gain by going for a higher overclock? I know that there is performance to...

I will be upgrading my GPU in the near future and run a single monitor which is 1920 x 1080. I'm wondering whether to get a 680 or a 7970. Now I've never run into any driver issues with any of the AMD cards I've had and I'm not considering a crossfire or SLI setup, just a single card, so lets...

I installed a Samsung 840 500gb and my boot times are slower than they were with my WD caviar black. To start, I cloned the WD to the ssd with Acronis, then ran the Samsung Magician software and optimised the OS. ACHI is enabled, all drives are recognised by the bios and the os. Intel rapid...

Anyone else using a Hyper 212 with their 3570k? I'm interested in your experinces. I'm overclocked at 4.2ghz, idling around 32 and maxing out in the mid 60's.

I am getting an error message that GUI MFC has stopped working. The faulting app path is C:\Program Files (x86)\GIGABYTE\ET6\GUI.exe and the app name is GUI.exe. This happens occasionaly. From what I can see it is some kind of problem with the Easy Tune 6 software that came with the Gigabyte...

just installed a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H with an I5/3570K. Device manager shows a yellow triangle next to sm bus controller. I've run the driver cd from gigabyte, looked for a driver on my computer andf had device manager look for a driver on the internet. Device manager cannot ID the device or...

I'm one of the people who has enough knowledge to get myself into trouble and I thought I'd share my recent experience. I had a Phenom II 965 BE and an ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 board. After doing some research I decided to do a switch to Intel for an upgrade. No slam on AMD, it was just evident...

I am looking to upgrade from the system in my sig, I am looking for the most bang for the buck not a bleeding edge system. The Egg has a combo with a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UDH and a 3570k for $380. I am not into extreme overclocking and would be happy to reach a stable and reasonably cool 4.5. I am a...

I am going to upgrade from my 965 to either a 2600k or a 3770k. I have a Hyper 212 evo for cooling. I am a gamer but will only be using a single monitor so I am not concerned about multi gpu"s. I am concerned about overclocking potential and realise that the motherboard is a huge factor for...
