    My Catalyst AI benchmarks

    .100 quite an improvement. A few extra FPS from on/off is pretty good though (when dealing with Crysis at least), any noticeable IQ difference? I always got the vibe that using AI was taboo.

    Post your Phenom II and Sempron unlock or failed unlock results here.

    Guess I'm just used to boards supporting a range of RAM rather than just one type (i.e mine is DDR2/3). Wonder how one goes about tracking down a Rev. 2... probably impossible =\

    The 770T only takes DDR3? That's a bit odd.

    Ah, OK, misunderstood what you were doing there :) 770T isn't compatible with DDR2-1066? o.O

    You want to switch mobos? I have the 770 Rev 1 and want the 770T, haha. PM me if you want to work something out. I just bought my system about 3 weeks ago so mobo is new out of box and in mint shape :D

    I'm sorry did you just actually say America = entire continent? lol, really? America is actually a country, in case you were unaware. North America is a continent. Really that's too funny that you think that, haha. There's a difference between speaking English and being English...

    Catalyst 9.7 released!!

    I had this same problem. One of the settings in AA was switched (might have been me) and my FPS in L4D were like 30 and I was like 'wtf?' and then switched it back and ta-da, problem solved.

    Hahaha @ imagining the thread is full of whining replies. Honestly if I say one sentence and you assume I'm off in a wild imaginary world of my own where I think the thread is full of whining replies, then I don't even know what to say about that. I'd have to say you're the one with the...

    I'll take this to mean you didn't try any Sudoku? My reply was relevant. You're stuck on the fact that that I said 'all these whiners' instead of 'this whiner'. I mean really that's just said. My point stands, try not to get so hung up on syntax or you'll make life a lot harder for yourself...

    Don't touch your BFG

    Who said anything about breaking anything? I'm dense? Here's the concept I'm trying to put forth, explained in the easiest possible way I can imagine: 1. Overclocking the card voids the warranty, as per the terms in the agreement. 2. You overclock the card. 3. The warranty is now broken...

    Don't touch your BFG

    roflllllllll You're missing the entire point. You did break your warranty even if they can't tell. If you OC it, the warranty is still void, regardless of what you tell them. What you tell them just determines whether or not you are going to get any service. You aren't getting 'punished'...

    Don't touch your BFG

    So your point is... that they only know it's OC'd if you tell them? OK? What does that have to do with what I said?

    Don't touch your BFG

    There's no logic in this statement. They don't punish you for anything, and to say that the company is punishing you because you overclocked and were 'honest' (as if that some how erases the fact that you broke the warranty?) is simply ridiculous.

    Syntax is this important to you? Interesting. I mean I could understand if it affected what was said or had some sort of impact, but in this case it doesn't. I only skimmed this thread, because my brain can only handle so much stupidity at one time, I was worried I might expose myself to...

    Don't touch your BFG

    The thing is BFG defines 'lifetime warranty' in the fine print. It's your own problem if you don't read it. BFG isn't responsible for how you interperet 'lifetime warranty', that's why the fine print exists. Hopefully all the whiners here have learned their lesson and in the future will be...

    Don't touch your BFG

    Just wanted to point out that when you speak to someone at a call center and they speak English they aren't necessarily American. Call centers are huge in Canada (especially my city) and almost all of the places I've worked for have dealt with Americans, a lot of times exclusively. Road Runner...

    What a horrible thread. 3-4 year old card, replaced stock HSF, OC'd and admitted to it, lol. You shouldn't have to read the fine print, it should be common sense. Silly consumers and their silly complaints.

    Best Book/Guide to Building/Upgrading a PC

    There is no 'best' guide. You screw all the components into all the places they go and that's it. If you know how to read an instruction manual you can put together a PC, just read the instructions for each component. You'd have to fail pretty hard to mess it up.

    Anyone else have display driver crashes during full screen web vids?

    That just seems to bizarre to me. I never had this problem on a previous OS since I just built this system and have only used Win 7. I don't get why RAM would cause my display driver to crash when watching only certain video players in full screen. It seems to be only the one or two types of...

    5040x1050 Test Results (GTX 275 896MB and 1792MB vs GTX 295)

    Oooo 15,000 people, what an install base! I'm aware that racing enthusiasts and others triple monitor. My comment was in response the fact that 5040x1050 is not a resolution most people are even aware of and no one is using it in any practical way (other than the 0.0001% of PC users who play...

    Core unlocking with Gigabyte 770 mobo?

    Like I said any board with SB710 or SB750 should work. If you want to be sure go to the manufacturers website of a particular board and check the BIOS updates. They will mention ACC (you can see this on the 790 @ Gigabyte's website).
  33. J

    Core unlocking with Gigabyte 770 mobo?

    It just has to be 710 or 750. I have a 770UD3 Rev. 1 and it has no ACC because it's SB700. Rev. 2 of this board does have ACC, because it's SB710. ACC is available on the other Gigabyte boards (790, etc).

    guess my 3dmark06 score

    Having the case open will only hurt temps. The point of case fans is to create a vaccuum. If the case is open, there's no vaccuum.

    AM3 overclock n00b questions

    I just got an x3 720 BE after having been out of the OC loop for a few years. I went into the bios, upped the multiplier to 16 (3.2 Ghz) and primed, was stable. Went back into bios, went to 17 (3.4 Ghz) and it booted into Windows, but then died. Upped voltage by one notch (0.25 I believe) and...

    Anyone else have display driver crashes during full screen web vids?

    Anyone else have display driver crashes during full screen web vids?

    Yeah it's been like this before I OC'd it. It's only on certain web players, so it's a really weird issue. It feels like it would be a problem with Flash, but it has to also connect with the display driver because it gave that display crash error. I have the latest version of Flash, and my...
