Announced last month but I didn't see it until today (first availability was Aug 8th). I can't find any reviews for it yet but the product page is up and there are a few forum posts about it around the web. I'm hoping for 1080p operation at 120Hz but the inputs are HDMI 1.4a so it probably...

I've had this card for about 5 months. It's been great as a single card solution for BF4. Temps would get up to around 75-80C and I overclocked it about 5%. This past weekend I purchased another R9 290. This time it was a Gigabyte Windforce edition (it was on sale for $399 at ncix.ca). I...

In 2012 I swapped out my 7970 for SLI 680s. Here's that post: Nvidia fanboi born Now in 2014 I'm back in the red camp. I'd been struggling with nvidia drivers ever since 331.40 was released for BF4. None of the R331 driver series ever worked for me. I couldn't enable Surround without...

Release Notes Override EDID work with Surround again so the Vegas of the world should be happy. Hopefully this driver fixes my Surround issues too.

I've been really happy with my GTX 680 SLI setup. Until today. While playing the BF4 beta I had an unusual crash. I say unusual because I've had about 3-4 BF4 crashes that I attributed to it being a beta. This time however the screen filled with green horizontal lines and I needed to reboot...

Wondering why people concerned about motion blur don't just use 120Hz DLP projectors? There are a few downsides: - lower resolution (800p) - possible rainbow artifacts - complicated screen setup and space requirements But those are offset by the fact that it's freakin awesome with no blur...

tl;dr at bottom I've been using an XFX 7970 BEDD since the part launched on Jan 9th. Initially it was driving 3 HP ZR24W monitors in Eyefinity. I used the launch driver because subsequent AMD driver updates didn't support the 7000 series for a month or 2. In February I sold the 3...

I've been running an XFX 7970 BEDD since launch. It's pushing 3 120Hz projectors (Optoma GT720) at 3840x800. Everything has been pretty good, so of course I want to upend this situation by moving to an nVidia based SLI system. The main reason for the change is to try out 3D Vision Surround...

I'm starting a round of BF3 and my computer reboots. This was the first crash I've had with the new PC (it's a week old). So I boot into Windows again and start the copy from my hard disk to the RAM drive so that I can load up BF3 again. Mid-copy there is a *loud* pop and the computer shuts...

Building a HTPC using a Silverstone LC19S-R case (case link). It has an integrated 120W power supply. Is that actually enough to run the following: 1) Core i5 750 (under-volted and underclocked if necessary) 2) Gigabyte P55M-UD4 motherboard link 3) Asus Radeon HD 6450 625MHz fanless video...

Silicon design engineer reporting in ... Just wanted to make an educated guess post regarding the seemingly low default clocks on the 7970. It's very likely that 28nm has a large process variation across wafer lots. AMD is probably using a very aggressive screen to catch marginal parts which...

Does the 7970 have the same restrictions as the 5000 and 6000 series regarding needing to use one of the native DP outputs (with an active adapter) for an all HDMI Eyefinity group? My hope/plan was that both of the mini-DP links would support DP++ (dual mode DisplayPort) and I'd therefore be...
