New Compy Asus P9X79 Deluxe Running a 3820 @ 4.8 GHz with 2 6970s @ 950 x 1450

10975

it was a nightmare before. had to use a third monitor and then set the nvidia as primary etc etc etc. Nvidia needs to just make it where we can run physix on amd based vids.

What, you can now use an nvidia card as a dedicated physx with AMD video as a primary ?

I get around that on my current 2600k with 2 6970's

I actually like it, seems to be a bit faster then Windows 7. I will have to say it does take some time getting used to it. But if you know how to make quick launches, and know where the start menu...

Running windows 8 preview?

BTW hello

just curious why? if you needing to do that I say get a bigger CPU with more threads available.

and picked me up 12 gigs of Crucial 1866MHz memory. HERE I ended up having to purchase 3 separate sticks of this memory as I could not find a tri channel kit :(. Then hopefully in the future I bump...

For information sake you can go to the standard windows look and feel. by registry hack.

Windows 8? I have it installed on my Hp 8560w Workstation currently. Did have it on my main computer but windows 8 and the creative X-fi did not get along to well. Had to use win 7 drivers, also for...

the motherboard should adjust itself regarding the memory timings/frequencies. At best the HP should revert to either its default memory timings or run the new memory at rated capacity. Sounds like...

I have always broken the back of my OS's I owned. Reason for this is because everytime I install a new component or switch out a major component I do not have to "Re-verify" and then find out that I...

Don't even get me started on that. Fooking idoits and their slow ass out dated compy's trying to play up to date games online and wonder why others don't like playing with them, or call them laggers,...

I agree with PP, get a vid for now and when you can get on a newer CPU/motherboard asap. the Q6600 is getting a bit long in the tooth as my roomy has one and it struggles on some of the newer games...

Been a complete and utterly a failure. I been trying to flash the 6970 video cards on my computer to higher clock frequencies, because while I am on Crossfire configuration I am limited to a mere...

Hmm, I had a friend with similar issues, I advised him to replace HDD. But if it was me I replace both memory and HDD just to be on the safe side.

I will get on them soon, I been having issues with my computer these last few days.

if your vids are reference designed I can give ya the BIOS file from mine after I flashed them.

If I do them indivually I can do 1000 MHz on the core and 1550 mhz on the mem. But in crossfire AMD CCC power play BS limits my clocks to 950/1450.

It definitely would not be an easy one, that I will guarantee it. The biggest issue I see from review sites is that they are for one or the other, nor have I seen a true comparison between Nvidias...

Lmao that is just way to funny.....

My compy on a DSL connection. supposed to be at 20Mbs down and 1 Mbs up. Going to see how much more the 40 Mbs connection is to the 20.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1445578551.png

Personbally there needs to be a comparison of AMDs Eyefinity and Nvidias 3D Vision Surround. But do all type of configurations. hence, AMDs capability of using 1-4 Video cards, and Nvidias 2+ needed....

see yas when i sees ya.

I am surprised you di dnot like fc2, it was damn near like metro and stalker.

Fear had that nasty habit of holding you in suspense the entire way through, and then have thi9ngs pop up and out. causing you to shoot at anything, including thin air. I haven't played doom 3 but...

I decided to throw on Doom 3 on my machine and see how it handles. After a few tweaks here an dthere I was able to span this game across all three monitors

Can you delete the...

The problem that Time Warner is not considering is that Cable is out ragiously overpriced. Not to mention the price that Tiime Warner charges is again out ragiously over priced. So people got tired...

Eww Brink nasty..........

had to grab PCmark7

Or your upload speeds are rather impressive. I am able to hit you guys with 1.2ish MBs. I have a max download speed of 1.8 MBs

If momma seen this going on they all have funny little lumps on all of their heads including the poor ******* who was just walking by shaking his head at the idiots performing this "Highly...

I was only using it as a reference that's all. But I will have to agree I would love to see bezel less monitors or extremely thin bezels on monitors

Just wow... well it works......

Really you dont even notice them when in game, because you pay more attention to the center monitor then you do the sides. The sides just give you that added visual you did not have. Think of it like...

Hey Peti you should start one. Because now there are two of us. BTW impressive scores on 11

The first NFS Hot Pursuit (when you could actually use modded cars) Underground both, and most wanted. I liked the story mode of these games.

ok and thank you

Thats what I was looking ofr, someone who has used it on a long term basis. Thanks Joshua.

I have had machines like that. Most of the time I told em it has to be replaced. The suggestion I can give you requires a bit of work, and you will lose the restoration OS. You could try a low level...

Ya that is why I was asking.

Simple question, how are SSDs doing in laptops? reason why I ask beccause I heard many horror stories about SSDs getting ruined while in a laptop. I am going o get 2 SSDs 128/120 Gig drives
...

I agree with Black, you may want to drop your ambient temps by a lot. if your ambient going to be that high I suggest you get a really good cooler.

Sounds like the monitor is toasted. But like others suggested try a different cable.

You can get lights and have it be bad. I know this first hand, We had a freak power surge through our phone line then it went through our routers and switches to the computers/ Xcracks. Well needless...

Microsoft would beneifit tremendously by making a OS specifically for TB's.

do you need to turn on the oc portion on? can't you just oc it with out that?

the pro will have 2 x8 lanes distributed on the 2 full length PCI-E ports. The short Time I ran a similar Asus board (p67 EVO) I never needed the x4 PCI-E lanes on the last PCI-E port. That is...

So you can at least communicate directly to a PC, providing you have Blue tooth but anymore that is not hard to accommodate. you should do a little micro review of it, list the things it has on it...

yes file sharing is what i was referring to, networking with out the need of a third party program like Apples itunes. At least it can play most common file types.

Just out of curiousity, does it or can it communicate with a PC? Also what kind of programs can you use to view movies? divx, AVI, mpeg4, H264?

I have Beats audio on my laptop, I am not all that...

I can careless, but either way how is it?

Tablets are trying to replace netbooks, as they truly cannot compete with a full fledged Laptop in capabilities. Now since they are aimed at Netbooks, one would think they should be about the same...

YIKES.... hmm get an aftermarket cooler, or make sure you have plenty of ventilation over the intake of the card.

I did not know you already had one. But currently tablets are way over priced for what can be done with them.

out of your choices the asus will give you the most features.

A pad? Should have gotten at least a Laptop, as they have a bit more flexibility on what can be done. But look forward to your thoughts either way.

I am surprised you can get SLI to work on a x4. But yes that is semi killing your performance. I say semi Killing because I messed with ATI vids on that same config and some games did not care for...

nice but now run it with out physx

nice score PP....

definitely know that feeling, people give me wired looks when i tell them every six months or so they need to redo the OS. My roommate is purposely violating that rule and gone for 2 years with out a...

interesting....

I do, every six months, if everything goes right. if not then it gets done right then and there.

preliminaries of this laptop. so far not to bad. this is at a resolution of 1280x720, actual resolution supported is 1366x768.

http://img.techpowerup.org/110707/Capture007.jpg

1920 x 1080 is not an official benchmark setting. It is kind of stupid why the older benchmarks did not take into account other resolution types, but the HD types of resolutions (16:9 Ratio) did not...

they are pretty good about it. good luck to you. have you tried other ports on the keyboard to eliminate that as a possiblitiy? I know they all the same but computers work in strange ways. for...

It is very nice to hear from you Mark. Glad you still doing ok.

Possibly a bios fix may help out.

Well I had to change out to a different lappy, but the one I ended up getting is not all that bad of a one. it is based off of the AMD Llano 3500m CPU with a 6750 video card for 680 USD. I needed to...

To ad to joshua, uninstall the game, then reinstall it as well. Does this happen on any other game?

I said i will try to refrain from it, does not mean I wont.......... If, big word IF, everything looks ok on temps and such I may give the GPU a boost. The CPU be pointless because having a locked 20...

Do not tempt me :p LMAO.....

Oh ya I forgot to mention I will refrain myself from overclocking this one, as well as try and keep it off of water cooling ;)......

I dont trust half of the human drivers that need to apply the brakes, at least if a computer screws up it has a reason.

Here is the review I seen that has the same exact system specs as far as vid and cpu. Granted this is a alienware lappy, but theres going to be very little difference bewteen them considering it is...

After putting off the purchase of one of these computers long enough I decided I am going to pick me up this one right HERE. I can't find any real reviews on this particular laptop but I am reading...

Last I knew the 805 was on the short side bus, and the 820 up were on the 200 side bus. I do not remember my 805 posting at 100. check ad see if you have any power saving features turned on.

I seriously doubt that, that was when AMD was king. No Pentium D CPU could remotely keep up with AMD. P D's ran hot, and their performance was not all that great, even when intel reduced the chip to...

I am not a programmer either and that was funny

Whats with this? like we care what you use to surf the net on... Srry not trying to an ass just been seeing this a lot.

I see what they are trying to do, the logic is there but it would have been just as easy to invert the motherboard. and save a lot of r&d money for other things like reduce the cost of their chassis'.

Now that is funny good one Black LOL

I been wanting to play wit y'all but I been procrastinating my homework long enough.

Now the X58 platform definetly has its strengths over the current sandy bridge 1155 CPU. One the X58 has a lot more lanes available to it right out of the box. So if you are into triple/quad vids or...

I have a 20mb/s download but only 1mb/s up. I can host if it is absolutely needed. Right now though I am looking at saturday night.

You can you do a dedicated server in TF2?

Dragon here for Steam, When everyone planning on getting online? I personally like just running around like a chicken with its head cut off....

AMD is the best for HTPC, Nvidia does not properly do the overscanning/underscanning. AMD keeps the resolution/ratio in tact when you need to size the screen to the HDTV. Nvidia actually manipulates...

that is the best time to have fun isnt it?

Don't worry I did too so there maybe two complete N00Bs in that game LOL......

Need to know a time and place and I join up with ya's. Also helps if I start downloading it now...

I havent installed any of them after the last redo of my computer. And yes SiN was a really fun game to play, I am surprised they did not do a sequel either. Loads better then there Left For dead...

Looked at steam and notta..... HL2, hl2 lc, hl2 ep1, hl2 ep2, portal, day of defeat, tf2, dirt 2, cod7, sin

I dont have the HL2 death match :(, and could never get into l4d. i do have the prange box, and dirt 2

Raptorfury,,, Srry wrong thats another name I use for UBI I am Dragon on Steam .....

Thats what i was going for the shock and OMFG WTF are you doing....

I got a mixed bag of feelings towards this move. One side of me says Far out, while the other says you gots to be fooking kidding me. because by doing this Intel can charge an exorbitant amount of...

I been actually looking in those dyson vacuums myself, but I stopped suddenly when I seen the price tag they had on it at a local wall world. I can be the best thing there is on the planet but with a...

what games y'all are playing?

No I havnt

I have not played halo in a long time. I tired it a couple of years ago but was reminded of the limiting resolution it had so i have not tried playing it since. If you guys want to kick up a game to...

no I switched it out to a swiftech triple 120mm Rad. I was moving the 2600K computer upstairs I was going to hook up 2 other 40" HDTVs (for a total of 3 in Eyefinity) to it and blow some Xcrack 360...
