    Dell U3415W discussion - 21:9 UltraWide (3440x1440)

    I just set mine up on an older desktop system. Windows 7, Radeon HD 6950 with the latest 15.7.1 Drivers. I'm getting 3440 x 1440 resolution with my old graphics card. Yes, I do need to upgrade my graphics card but this shows that you do not necessarily need the latest and greatest Operating...

    Problems installing Drivers

    Ok, this is wierd...... Since the secondary card kept running at 100% load I disabled xfire in CCC as soon as I hit apply the screen image went out - just snowy noise. I re-booted and the screen went back to normal resolution etc.. Also CCC was back in xFire and the primary card was handling...

    Finally managed to load the 12a drivers without errors finally. But I'm only getting a score of 4700 in 3Dmark11 where I used to get scores around 8800 back when i first got the cards. I did have some problems along the way. After uninstalling the cards in device manager the top had the...

    Problems installing Drivers

    I've been running 2 Sapphire 6950s in xfire for sometime first with a clean install of the 12a drivers then with the 11.1 beta. I did flash my cards bios with the "Unlocked Sapphire file" before installing the 11.1 drivers. I have been using TRIXX to overclock to 880/1325 which should be safe...

    6970 idle temp 55-60c?

    I'm using TRIXX to overclock and ULPS has to be disabled for TRIXX to work. Like you pointed out it does not allow access to the second cards fan control. I do have a nice fan profile for the primary or top card which gets the hottest.

    6970 idle temp 55-60c?

    It's probably the top card which has the monitor/monitors plugged into....ultra low power state, can cause the second (bottom) card to idle down into ULPS (ie. pretty much turn off) also, I did a search and found the thread on setting "enableulps" to 0 in the registry and got Trixx...

    6970 idle temp 55-60c?

    I have 2 "unlocked only" 6950 Sapphires in xfire and I tried to set a custom fan profile in TRIXX but it only works for my top card. The bottom card is still in auto mode controlled by CCC. The top card now has the "enable manual control" checked from the setting TRIXX profile. Is this a...

    Heat problem: ASUS 6970 Crossfire 97C at moderate load

    nerzhul, try swapping the cards around. I have 2 Saphires and there is about a 15 degree difference between them. My top card was reaching 92 degrees so I switched them - put the bottom card in the top slot. My cooler card only reached a max of 74 dgrees in the top slot.

    AMD Radeon HD 6950 to HD 6970 Mod

    There is an alternative to flashing up to the 6970 bios. There are now 6950 bios files available with the Shaders unlocked that will still give you a bit of a performance increase without the risk. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1036631021#post1036631021 It doesn't enable you to...

    Any comparisons for 4890 x 2 to the new 6000 series

    I'm still running my 4890 crossfire but starting to get the upgrade bug now that the 6970 is out. I haven't found any good comparisons for the 4890 x 2 to any of the 6000 Series cards. Would I be gaining much other than DX11 support by getting a single 6970 card for now??? Eventually I...

    So, what are the best Motherboards and Cooling Solutions for these processors??? I'm another employee of "Teh Evil Empire"...LOL!!! And I'm in need of an upgrade and may opt to get a Q9750 instead of waiting for the i7s. It looks like the P45 and ICH10R support the most memory and the P5Q3...

    Hi All, I just got a DIR-655 to replace my old WRT54GS that wasn't capable of giving my wife's laptop a good enough signal at the opposite end of our house. The DIR-655 is amazingly fast...I even notice a big increase in the wired desktop it's connected to. I have one problem in that the...
