Whatever works...it would be silly for them to offer something better than a GTX 580 and give it a midrange name at this point. The GK110 parts aren't going to be out for a long while, but they can go any direction with naming the parts. GTX 780, GTX 685 Ti, etc. Frankly, I think both the...

Even if it's named the GTX 680, priced around $450-500, and Nvidia's best performing card for months? You have a slightly perverse way of seeing things then.

Unless you own a 5870...

Just giving another anectdote, but my HD 7970 is OC'd top 1125MHz just fine on 1.112V.

The Santa Clara, CA Micro Center is probably the best general PC store in the SFBA when it comes to service. The store is clean, well lit, and doesn't smell like the Palo Alto Fry's. The salespeople are relatively knowledgeable and well-kept individuals and they offer a much better selection...

The M4E does not do x16/x16 because the latency added by the NF200 in that configuration negates any gains over x8/x8. The M4E smartly puts the NF200 between the 2nd and 3rd slots, making them communicate at x16 speeds AND only adding the associated latency in triple-SLI/Crossfire...

They are coming from Asus's Fremont offices. I got overnight shipping despite being 20 miles away...

My replacement P8P67 Deluxe arrived via FedEx on Monday. I just not got around to installing it and it behaves much differently than my previous board. CPU-Z reads idle voltages on the new board as low as ~0.85V...I never saw my CPU voltage dip that low on the old board. Whereas I was able to...

Dropped fahcore_15.exe to XP compatibility mode seems to have kicked it up to 99% GPU usage. Never had to do that with anything else...

Those are the only drivers listed when I select GTS 450 from the dropdown menu. Another weird thing is the GPU usage goes up if I underclock the CPU, and down if I overclock it.

I just installed a GTS 450, which requires 260.63 and I have a different issue... The thing will not run at 99-100% like the 9600 GSO I also have in that PC, but closer to 55-65%. I'm using a piddly Sempron 140, but I don't think it's the CPU's fault. On the GTS 450's client, fahcore_15...

I really don't know how Enermax can justify its prices. The Revo85+ 920/1020W units are just Modu87+ 800/900W stretched beyond their 80 Plus Gold ratings. How they can justify their ~$250 street price for the 1020W model is beyond me. I can go out right now and get an AX1200 for $300 or one...

Poast.

Reseated everything and played musical chairs with all four of my DIMMs, still the "blue screen." (not a BSOD) I should note that this does not happen that frequently during normal operation, but if I start taxing the CPU or if I sleep the computer enough, that seems to trigger the crash pretty...
