Lol yes, dang this is #3 for being old all in a matter of minutes :lol:

April snow showers bring May flowers.

Sure I don't particularly like Comcast, but at least they don't rip you off like Verizon, now Frontier, with ridiculously over priced and slow DSL. Not to mention how much it goes out on my dad, not...

No just one, I was thinking about getting two, but space is pretty limited on my mATX board.

Works great :icon_tiphat:

Are you from the US? Newegg has Athlon II X2's for as low as $53, and the 970 BE is cheaper on Newegg than the X3 you're looking at.

Here's what my run produced.
3025

Here are the latest pictures of my rig.

Which is pretty much why it doesn't matter that the AMD isn't as fast. CPU is taking a back seat in games to the GPU at the moment.

I'm very tempted to give $20. Digital copy of the game at that price is a nice edition.

My first gaming computer was an AMD so they hold a special place for me. I've always thought they were more fun to tinker with, I still like to tinker with my Opteron 170.

Haha overclocking really...

PM me with details about the 6970 and 5970.

Looks pretty good. :thumleft:

Ah, Sapphire's is same, but Newegg seems to be out of stock on the PowerColor :[

Oh I didn't realize thats the particular yea.

I've never used them so I don't have anything against them, just always had good luck with Sapphire, so its what I trust. Do they have the same...

But its PowerColor :[

I might actually be able to talk to Don at Sapphire and get a discounted price.

From what I've seen the 13.2 drivers have fixed this, and AMD is continuing to improve them. The 660 Ti ends up around slightly less than a 7950 which puts it right in the 7870 XT's ballpark. The few...

I know what it is. I have no interest in a 660 Ti, the only advantage it has is PhysX.

So I've had my eye on this card for the past few days, and have been considering purchasing one to replace my 6870. It seems to be quite the performer and overclocker, and Newegg has it on sale for...

I haven't played much with W8 since it looked more suited for touch screen devices. I have a WP8 though, and I love the device. The OS is setup better than iOS imo, which I prefer over Android. It...

Coincidentally thats what I got lol

You could try unplugging and replugging the SATA cable/changing SATA cable, I've had that be an issue before.

I guess I spoke a little too soon, I just got it today.

It is as if no one is reading that he already has 8 GB of DDR3 :lol: I know its not common, but 775 boards had DDR3 too, so you can never assume.

As for PP's suggestion, that is what I would go...

I haven't got anything so far.

The government (*cough* democrats *cough*) is not going to take away your guns, end of discussion in my mind. Why this continues to be an issue amazes me.

For me it really depends on the type of game. For me any platformer type game (Tomb Raider, Uncharted) is much better with a controller. I also like playing more cinematic games (Heavy Rain, Mass...

Really depends on what you're doing. If you're doing a lot (and I mean a lot) of simulation work then sure, but it sounds like hes just taking a beginning class which would go over very basic...

Apparently I won the flash drive and didn't even realize it :lol:

Lol it would make an interesting movie I'm sure :lol:

If I wouldn't have gotten it in the humble bundle I would have done this. THQ is really trying to save the company, hopefully CoH 2 is good and we don't see them sink.

So I got it yesterday and was too busy playing with it to post up about it. I must say I like WP8, it has a sleek look and it runs amazingly smooth on this phone. The wireless charging is a pretty...

I like my games how I like my action, maxed :lol:

Interesting idea for sure. I'm wondering if it will actually work though. I know sometimes auto settings are too high/low, so Nvidia would have to do hands on research in order for this to work.

They might loose some market from making it non-replaceable, but in the scheme of things it would only really effect the enthusiasts who are a minority of the market.

And I thought 1156 was short lived...

I do love the colors of the Lumia, probably one reason why I got one, just wish it came in orange.

So here is a random poll to help liven the forums up. What is your favorite vibrant color? I am using base colors, so when I say Red I would mean a more bright red such as the one below, the same...

I really don't see a question there. That's more of a statement, and a possible root of the problem. More importantly it doesn't matter what the card does. And you still haven't answered his question.

The fact of the matter is it doesn't matter what kind of mouse he is referring too because that wasn't his question

"I was hoping someone here had some experience loosing onboard audio, or with...

You didn't help him either :clap:

As far as audio going out I've only had one board that has had it happened and that was before I got it. One of my friends onboard audio quit out on him. So I...

I think you need to read up on serial communication because yes it is a serial connection. There's some common misconception that serial means its slow and out of date, when its really not, its a...

Haha good catch :P Also SATA is serial, most stuff is heading back towards serial after the brief stint with parallel.

I really like the first option personally. I prefer to have the OS have the non RAID setup even though it will take a little longer to load. Your games will thank you. My second choice would be go...

I think he meant as far as SSD's. But I don't agree with that either, the average consumer who bought an AMD based machine looking for an SSD will probably go with the AMD because they know them....

Haha yea I don't have a problem streaming multiple HD movies through Netflix. The best part is its uncapped.

In some reguards yes, but they can still beat Intel the way they're going.

Finally had some time when no one else is on the internet, so heres my speedtest.

Well I haven't filled out my list so I might as well do that :lol:

1- Processor - AMD as soon as they get their **** together
2- Motherboard - I've always had really good luck with Asus
3-...

I don't read any unless I'm looking at buying something, and then I'll look at whatever comes up in Google search first.

I wouldn't say game quality is going down, you just can't get caught up in the COD's and BF's of the world. Platformers have made a bit of a comeback with Uncharted and Tomb Raider, and interactive...

I can download at a constant 4 Mb/s from Steam so I can't complain.

Yes us who buy the most games and are fueling the continued growth of the market are killing games. Which is why game budgets are getting higher.

This list is a couple years old, but can you spot...

I guess I have a different perspective. I normally only get time in bunches so its nice to be able to complete a game in 10 hours. Though the Uncharted series was excellent and I wish it was longer,...

They actually are kind of long, I can't think of an exact time off the top of my head, but I spent at least 30 hours playing all three.

It really wasn't too bad for saving 50% on all the stuff I got, plus they were on PS3 so its not like I can get them in a Steam sale.

Me too, and I saw 3 on sale so I was pretty happy. At Target actually, I braved a really long line that took about two hours to get through.

Me and my roommate did this, awesome deal!

If you would normally have the component off then it will last longer since the components have a limited lifetime, but if you have the computer sitting there idling you aren't saving it from...

I got all I wanted :D, Max Payne 3 with GTA4 for $30 and FF13 for $14

My university teaches Java as a base and then has C classes as you move further up. But as people said it really depends on what you're doing. My personal favorite is assembly (probably because I'm...

At the moment I'm using a IPhone 3GS that I got from my friend until AT&T sends me my Nokia Lumia 920.

I've been playing a decent amount of PS3 since I bought mine recently. I completed all 3 Uncharted games in a weekend...

All I have to say is at least I'll have two days to relax after my finals. :sleep:

I'm tired of looking at the DFI X58 in my closet. Anyone have one somewhere?

Sorry I haven't been on in awhile.

Blacksmith your probably right lol, I did receive the email however.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!

Anyone else remember when the forum used to do this?

The only reason why I noticed is its my birthday today lol. So happy birthday to myself!

Thread jacked? I think that this one should have stayed at the bottom of the posting list, perhaps a new thread should have been created to express your frustration.

We are talking about forgotten muscle. Hell they even have kit cars for Cobra's I hardly call that forgotten.

Buick Regal GNX is one of those classics.

Well they happened to have skipped a huge amount of numbers...

Lol woops, well what about a 790?

Not if its a 295 lol.

If its registered under his address then you can get the warranty.

He got it from some guy on TPU, and its already claimed one board lol.

What setup exactly?

That it is.

Yea and have a messed up chip on your hands.

Link doesnt work for me.

I should, but im not for some reason.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii202/goliath_182/OC5970_3.png

I blame my scores on ****ty beta drivers.

My latest with stock clocks on the card, and 3.7 on the CPU.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii202/goliath_182/OC5970_1.png

Lol in XP.

Temps are in the 60's. I use it because it has a custom acrylic top, and I got a deal on it.

Is this fast? :lol:

I can edit the title for you to include a NSW (not safe for work).

You mean your record :razz:

I've gotten more from my Xfire 4890.

I would double whatever they tell you. Not only for efficiency, but if you dont have a top of the line PSU then running it near capacity will end up blowing it up.

Well thats good to hear. Just wonder why they made a mockup instead of the real thing. My guess would be they want the card to be shorter, so they just cut it off as a temperary fix. Either that or...

Wow thats the most biased crap ive ever heard. :dielaffin:

On another note im a little bit scared at this:

...

What are you guys thinking about the new series? I'm sure your all excited about the contest, but being that there's more than one person entered don't count on winning, so lets try to keep this...

Its not that its not optimized. Its that the client doesn't use all of the steams on ATI cards. Nvidia cards are higher clocked, so if you use the same amount of streams then the Nvidia card will do...

13 C lower than before. :lol:

I think there was another thread but I couldn't find it buried in here. I am making this a sticky so through time it will never be lost.

Its pretty self explanatory. Just post up some pictures of...

I have a physical M2N SLI CD here somewhere lol. If you still dont have it i can make a ISO and send it to you over Xfire.

I am quite tempted to OC just a bit more, almost 20k with a single card. Now all I need are the rest of my liquid parts to get my CPU running a bit faster. I could prob break 20k, because I didnt...

New Pro's have HDMI.

A few things on 360. I have had a 360 for a long time, and ive only had to RMA it once. Try to find one with a manufacture date of late 2008 if you can, that would be a Falcon, which runs cooler. The...

Wow thats really cold. My uncles used to be load at 90 C with 100% fan. :ahhhhh: Now he has liquid on it, so its all good.

You can set it to 6.4 ghz, same as the extreme.
