    390X coming soon few weeks

    You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. The 7970 is still relevant today, can you say the same of the 680? I have had a 7970 for years that overclocks to 1200/1600 and is enough for almost any modern game. Oh, and it made me some money mining as well. I haven't felt compelled to...

    Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth

    You need to get rid of all those extra options, that was my problem originally as well. Set it up similar to mine and it should work. And I'm aware of that, that's why I suggested you disconnect the second monitor to simplify things. Although that may not be necessary if you can get the number...

    Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth

    How many options do you have available to you under the refresh rate box to the right? Here's what my CRU and CCC look like:

    Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth

    In CRU, do you have it down to just 2 options under the detailed resolutions box? I previously had 4, but had to delete 2 of them. Then those two options are what show up under refresh rate in CCC. I have had multiple monitors cause me issues before (not with BE, but in general), so I just have...

    Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth

    I also used CRU. When you open up CCC and select the refresh rate for your monitor, does it just show 2 options? I had to restart my computer for the changes to show up in CCC. When I got it down to just 2 options (60 hz and 96 hz) it worked in BE

    Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth

    Hey guys, for those of you who are having display issues, this may help. I was having problems at first too, it wouldn't display a 1440p option. I think the game only gives the option of a certain number of resolutions, so if you have several custom profiles (for example, I had 100hz, 96 hz, 90...

    Suggestion for a great 27in monitor

    To reassure you, I just ordered two qnix panels from amazon (in part to Zepharus's input, thank you for that), and they are both beautiful. I paid a bit more for the pixel perfect ones, even though I have heard most people don't have any dead pixels anyway, but just wanted to be safe. The stand...

    Just ordered a eizo qx2710, wondering if I made a mistake?

    Sorry about that, I edited the OP so hopefully it makes more sense now. I meant Qnix, not ezio. And after thinking about it a bit more, you're right about the Samsung. I don't want a TN monitor, so I think I'm gonna wait for 4k to mature a bit and give the Qnix a chance. Sorry for the useless thread

    Do you have anything useful to post? Please enlighten me :rolleyes:

    Just ordered a eizo qx2710, wondering if I made a mistake?

    edit- meant to say Qnix in the title I just ordered this monitor based on some good reviews to hold me over til 4k became more reasonable. I already have a 24" dell u2412, so I thought 1440p would be a good middle ground. However, now I'm wondering if I should just jump to 4k altogether, spend...

    Can someone give me a no BS estimate as to when AMD will be competitive again?

    Wow, you guys are so clever. Obviously you can't predict for sure. I'm asking what amd has in the pipeline that shows promise, if anything

    Can someone give me a no BS estimate as to when AMD will be competitive again?

    And by competitive I mean actually push Intel. The last time I can remember was Athlon 64. I haven't has as much time to pay attention to PC hardware lately, but IB and Haswell have both been pretty disappointing. I understand that Intel is pursuing a different market, but I don't really care...

    Embarassing problem, but would appreciate urgent help regarding iphone

    I'll paypal someone 20$ if they help me solve this. Sorry this is a repost from the mobile phones forum, but I need to get info asap. My gf and I were out at a bar last night and she lost her purse, which had her iphone in it. She had some R-rated pics on there that she took to send to me...

    Embarassing problem, but would appreciate urgent help regarding iphone

    She's smart in general but is terrible with technology and sometimes lacks common sense. Believe me, I've told her that it was retarded to not delete that as soon as she sent it, have it password protected, have phone tracking software, etc. We went back to the bar where she lost it and...

    Can't decide between sapphire 7970 OC and msi lightning 7970

    Just thought I'd bump this with an update. Ended up going with the Sapphire Dual-X, and am glad I did. This thing overclocks like crazy! Using the 2nd bios the default voltage is 1170 mV. So far I've bumped clocks up to 1200/1700 totally stable with no voltage changes! And I haven't even tested...

    Will a 650W PSU be enough to run crossfire 6950's?

    I'm relieved to hear it should work fine, thanks everyone! It does run it quite well, but towards the end of the game when things get busier the framerate can dip though. I'm wondering if this is more due to the GPU or the CPU? Maybe they'd benefit more from a decent CPU OC (I put a hyper...

    Will a 650W PSU be enough to run crossfire 6950's?

    I just recently built my parents a new computer. It has a 2500k, hdd, ssd, 16 gb of memory, and currently 1 6950 (1 gb model). I used to have crossfire 6950's, but put one of them in their new build. I just pulled the trigger on a 7970 a few minutes ago, so I was thinking of giving them my other...

    I saw the same thing, which seemed strange since the MSI card seems so well made, I can't imagine what would be holding it back

    Any issues with cap. noise or black screens? I keep hearing that some people love them, then others have issues

    Can't decide between sapphire 7970 OC and msi lightning 7970

    I think I'm pretty much narrowed down to these 2, since the sapphire dual-x seems like high price/performance ratio, while the lightning is higher quality overall. Just can't decide :/

    Can't decide between sapphire 7970 OC and msi lightning 7970

    The sapphire is cheaper and in stock, and seems to perform well. My only concern is I've heard multiple complaints about the cards malfunctioning, either random black screens or capacitor noise, etc. But in the reviews it seems to OC well and stay cool, and is actually among the cheapest 7970's...

    I don't get why people are declaring the 680 the winner already??

    At least some people on here are reasonable. This is all I was trying to say. I really don't understand why some people get so defensive over a computer hardware company

    I don't get why people are declaring the 680 the winner already??

    This is the main problem I have with the 680. Last round I bought a 1GB 6950 because everyone said "oh you'll never need 2 gb unless you're gaming at ultra-high resolutions". Well, that isn't the case any more. I don't upgrade that often, so when I do I like to make sure it's fairly future-proof...

    I don't get why people are declaring the 680 the winner already??

    I agree, I think it's a very cool feature, and didn't mean to imply otherwise in the OP. I hope ATI comes out with something similar in the future. But for now, they don't have it. And how many people who spend 550$ on a 7970 just plug it in and leave it at stock settings? I'm guessing not many...

    I don't get why people are declaring the 680 the winner already??

    Damn some of you take your video cards companies way too personally, I never said nVidia was "cheating" or that there was anything wrong with the [H] review! In fact I think GPU boost is a cool feature and am pleasantly surprised with the 680's performance after some of the negative rumors. But...

    I don't get why people are declaring the 680 the winner already??

    While it looks very promising, I think declaring it the winner is a bit premature. It's winning in price-point right now, but I think performance has yet to be determined. As far as I understand, the 680 dynamically overclocks itself, so it's basically overclocking all the time. But in the...

    Holy loser with nothing better to do than crap on peoples' threads Thanks to everyone else who answered, I know my questions were pretty rudimentary, but I've been busy lately and don't have as much time as I'd like to research all of this. Think I'll be watching for a good deal on a ~120gb...

    I don't understand why people rave about SSD's so much?

    Thanks to those of you who gave helpful replies. I acknowledged that I hadn't used one, so obviously that's why I asked the question. Seems I'll have to start doing some research, since almost everyone says something along the lines of "once you use a SSD, you never go back". The two things...

    I don't understand why people rave about SSD's so much?

    I've never used one, so that's part of why I don't get it. But is it really just for faster boot up times and load times? My computer stays on most of the time, so boot up time doesn't matter much to me. And is it really worth over 150$ (for a decent sized SSD) to save a few seconds while BF3...

    Some details/pics of the MSI 7970 Lightning

    Any word on a release date for this yet? I'm trying to decide between the MSI Lightning, Gigabyte Windforce, and Sapphire Dual-X. But I'd like to wait for some more reviews to come in before I spend this much money. I just don't want to wait forever :p

    Is there any way to play music on my stereo system wirelessly from my phone/laptop?

    Is there any way to play music on my stereo system wirelessly from my phone/laptop?

    I don't need anything super high end for this, the system itself is nice but the wireless connection from my phone is really only for convenience's sake. The receiver (bluetooth, wireless, or whatever I end up with) would be in the basement near the rest of the hardware. My main uses would...

    Jerky/stuttering movement in BF3

    I messed with my CCC settings a bit, and turned on V-sync in BF3, and it seems to have fixed the problem. So anyone else having issues can give that a shot. On a side not, I'm really enjoying this game so far. I'm doing the campaign first (I know, blasphemy), and it's really immersive. I'm very...
