    FE cards discontinued?

    Seems like they've been removed from most of the nvidia stores around the globe and in their place aib cards. Also noticing that on the nvidia subreddit any discussion of this is being deleted. :rolleyes:

    Jonos TR03

    https://www.jonsbo.com/en/products/tr03gsilver.html Well this is gonna look VERRRY familiar but looks like it has some possibilities with certain parts being removeable. Just not sure about that glass panel and the small amount of venting it has. Better pics in the link above in the gallery...

    New cooler pictured

    Not bad looking but it does have some radeon vii about it with the logo choking off the top fins. https://twitter.com/Radeon/status/1305612438675562505?s=20

    EDC usage?

    Just updated ryzen master and noticed this, the fact it's displaying in red has me wondering. This normal or only occurs on certain power modes? o_O

    trifire 69xx series to 7990 worth it?

    Looking to possibly buy a 7990 now they've come down in price, really not sure though if there's any benefit to it, my current config is a 6990+6970. Would it be more of a side grade than an upgrade in performance terms?

    BF3 trifire eyefinity performance

    Ended up finally snagging a 6990 for a decent price, performance in BF3 seems to be all over the place though. The best performing drivers seemed to be 12.3 which loaded the 6990 to around 96-99% but for some reason left the 6970 hanging around the 65-75 range. Ended up trying a few driver...

    Afterburner reporting lower core clocks?

    Anyone have any issues with msi afterburner reporting lower core clock speeds? Both my cards are at stock but ingame usually one card is being reported as running at 800mhz as opposed to 880. Couple of months ago it was saying this for gpu2, now its saying it for gpu1 (on the latest version of...

    Anyone with any tri-fire, eyefinity, bf3 beta experience?

    Im looking to possibly upgrade a 6970 from my system to a 6990 for tri crossfire, after playing the bf3 beta it was very obvious that on my current gpu setup 5760x1080 wasn't all that playable. I was averaging around 35-40 fps or so but after playing it on a single screen it just felt sluggish...

    Anyone else being throttled on 6970?

    Noted some stuttering in bc2:nam earlier, loaded up msi afterburner and played the game some more, and sure enough it was downclocking for a few seconds at a time while maxing temps at 93c. My case is a fortress ft02 so the card essentially has a dedicated intake fan a couple of inches in...

    FAO: Lian li pcv1000z owners

    Could any of you check to see how much space there is in this case for video cards? Been looking at some pics and its not that clear if a 5970 could fit inside, im asuming if it can then its gonna be very tight since its 12.5 inches in length. Looks like it might just fit in there though.

    Ive had this psu a good while now and only lately ive started to notice how loud it is when the rest of the system is relatively quiet, playing a game like tf2 causes the fan to spin up to levels where it overtakes the noise my 2900xt used to put out. Can't help but notice this thing is...

    new drivers due anytime soon?

    I think in a few of the reviews the 30th jan was tossed around a a date new drivers would hit, thats came and gone. Wonder how much longer, i know theyre normally out around the 12th each month but for a card release id expect some new ones before that.
