    Best mobo for a quad core server?

    Cool Danny thanks for the post. This is for a home server so I do not need crossfire. 16GB of RAM would be nice.

    Best mobo for a quad core server?

    I want to build a new server to replace my DC AMD 4200. I will probably buy an E8500 and put that in my gaming box and move the Q6600 to the server. I probably will not be overclocking it for stability, but I do want that capability. I will be running a Active Directory domain controller on...

    Gigabyte Sponsored EP45-DS3R/GTX 260 review

    Yes source is still played by a lot of people, buit that is't the point here. the source engine is CPU intensive and wont push any new graphics card at all, that is my point. Who cares if I can get 250 or 300 FPS in CS:S, it doesn't mean anyting. The engine still looks "good" but it is old...

    Gigabyte Sponsored EP45-DS3R/GTX 260 review

    So much for a non-biased point of view. :rolleyes: You call it a "review", you might as well call it an nVidia commerical. Then you proceed to show numbers from three things nobody gives a fuck about, CS:S, HL2, and 3DMark. Knowing damn well that the numbers the 4800 series put up in 3Dmark...

    4850 CrossfireX: Random reboots

    I have both of my fans running 90% when I game. On stock clocks it runs without crashing, but after a while it gets weird slow downs. I installed the second bridge tonight to see if that would help with the slow downs, it does help some but the game play it just not smooth. My 88000GT would...

    4850 CrossfireX: Random reboots

    These are the same problems I am having. I picked up a pair of 4850s this weekend and they have been a PITA to work with. I get colored screens then reboots, my primary monitor gets solid brown with vertical black lines spaces an inch apart and the secondary gets off-white with vertical black...

    4850 X-Fire issues, is it my PSU?

    Thanks for the tip I will give that a shot. I had Rivatuner installed, but i uninstalled it think it might be part of the problem I was having because for the second card it was showing "no suitable driver installed". I will give it another shot. I just upgraded my Motherboard, CPU, and...

    4850 X-Fire issues, is it my PSU?

    Well it does keep it at 60FPS most of the time but sometimes dips below. The problem is if vsynch is enabled and the frame rate drops below 60 then it really suffers because it will drop to 30fps because of the refresh rate. Also smoke still kills these cards, heavy smoke and explosions drops...

    4850 X-Fire issues, is it my PSU?

    Well I am not sure if I am diggin' crossfire. There is some weird tearing effects during explosions and flash bang effects. I was really hoping to be able to turn on vsynch, I sure to miss it since my CRT days. however, even 4850CF on COD4 4xAA 16AF and everything maxed still can keep a...

    4850 X-Fire issues, is it my PSU?

    I think I had a bad card and then I had an idiot moment once I got the new card. Apparently you have to set the fan and clock speeds for each card seperately...who would have thunk it. You would think that the CCC would be smart enough to apply it to both cards in crossfire mode. So the...

    4850 X-Fire issues, is it my PSU?

    Looks like it is the card. I put the new one in and it crashed. I put the first one back in and set the my monitors up and it rebooted, I thouht oh shit. Then I just ran 20 minutes on COD4 and no issues. I will get another card and see whats up.

    4850 X-Fire issues, is it my PSU?

    Hmm, it just miht be a bad card. It put the new one in the bottom slot and I had driver issues again. ATI drivers sure don't seems to be forgiving about adding and removing cards. Well CCC was in the and the monitor turned solid brown color and wil vertical black stripes. Bad card or bad...

    4850 X-Fire issues, is it my PSU?

    Roger, that is my next step. Question though, on my DX38 does it matter which slot is for a single card solution? I was running my other cards on the bottom slot with no issues but I am just wondering if it matters? Off to move cards around, bbs. :mad:

    Hey guys, I just picked up another 4850 from BB and I had a hell of a time getting it installed right. I had driver issues galore and finnally after a few driver cleaning sessions it all worked right for about 1 minute in COD4 then the system freaked out and rebooted. Now just at desktop it...

    Dual monitors with 4850 X-Fire yet?

    I have been out of the loop for a while, but I just picked up a 4850 and I was thinking about getting another one. However, I am a dual monitor junkie and do not think that I can live without them both. Have they fixed this limitation yet of not being able to run dual monitors? While...

    The game installed fine, but when I try to run it I just get an APPCRASH. I have admin rights to the PC and the stupid UAC is turned off. I have tried running the game under XP compatibility mode and no dice. My searching has been fruitless. Anyone get it to run? Q6600 4GB 1066 HD 4850...

    AGP 4x/8x card into a 2x slot? help!

    I would like to know how he got the 7600 to fit. A 7600GT AGP is a 4x/8 wich is a 0.8/1.5V card. That slot you showed in a 2X AGP and is keyed completly different. The only cards that I know of that were able to transition that period was the Diamond Viper II based off of the TNT2 chipset...

    Call of Duty 4 - best game ever

    While I am in here I have to say that COD4 kicks some major ass. The SP was visually intense as shit which for me adds greatly to game play. I hate it when people say that visuals isn’t shit and it’s game play is where it is at; because great visual make for a more immersive experience which...
