So....I have windows 8 installed. I want to upgrade to windows 10, but they have yet to send me the notification that I'm ready. So can I use this link to create a CD and upgrade before MS telling me it's my turn?
Well that was an intelligent response.
All I know is that I play with 580 SLI as long as I want without issues. I switch to 290x and I can't play for longer than 10 minutes.
While there may be alot of misinformation out there...I know the above to be a fact.
Just chiming in. Same issue in BF4.
AMD released new drivers today...but don't get excited, the issue presists.
4770k
XFX R9 290x
Asus Maximus IV Hero
Corsair AX1200 PSU
This never happened with my 580 SLI setup.
My solution? Returning this AMD POS to amazon and buying a 780 Ti.
Any word on clock speeds for the Gigabyte Windforce OC edition? Or a ship date?
I went ahead and ordered two since I'm assuming it'll be clocked higher than EVGA's with the stock cooler...and I don't have the patience to wait on a Classified or ACX version from EVGA.
4770k
Asus Maximus Hero VI
Mushkin DDR3 (from my old PC)
Intel 510 SSD
Installed Windows 8, chipset, drivers, full Windows Updates, and a couple of the Asus programs.
I now go to install Bitdefender Internet Security 2014 and I get a BSOD with the label CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT.
I've...
I had initially thought they were overheating as well...but if you look at the graphs, you'll see that the fan speeds drop as well, which is counterintuitive. You'd think that if the cards forced themselves to underclock in order to cool down because of heat, then the fans would keep blowing...
I just replaced my ATI 5970 with two MSI 580 Twin Frozrs in SLI and now I've got a problem.
BF3 (with the new drivers) runs great when I first launch it up...but then after about 10-15 minutes, it's like one of the cards just stop working and my FPS drops from 50ish to about 15 becoming...
I really REALLY REALLY wanted to wait. I promised myself I would...but I honestly enjoy the BF3 beta too much.
For me, waiting until the next generation would mean playing BF3 for several months at less than optimal settings (ATI 5970 at 2560x1600 can't cut it). So I went ahead and picked up...
I was thinking about that...but I was also trying to plan ahead since I forsee an enormous spike in demand for GPUs about that time of year. A lot of people are going to get home on October 25th and realize their epenis is way too small. This is also the time we'll be seeing supply...
I need to do it. Problem is, it seems that ATI and nVidia have dropped the ball in getting their next generation GPUs out the door. With titles like BF3 and Skyrim arriving for the holiday season this year, you would think that they would try and match that release window....instead, we're left...
Simmer down child.
As I said, I did not pirate this. The game has been in stores since last week. I use a small local game shop for all my purchases and, in return, I get most of the games when the store gets them. If a store chooses to break a release date, it's on that store and not the...
Easy with the name calling now...no pirate here....I just happen to have early access to a copy from a local place.
I preordered mine long ago :D
"Dear xxxx,
Thank you for your recent purchase on Steam.
If youre new to Steam, install the free Steam application now...
Retail pics from a 5970, i7 960 rig
Maxed out resolution and tweaks. Best looking game I've seen on a PC. Draw distances are just silly...
UPDATED: New screens below
I'll give it a try tonight on my rig.
Also...give Crysis Warhead a try, from what I remember, it runs off an optimized engine and should give you the same visuals with a better fps.
Saddened to see nVidia dragging their heels at the time of my new build, I've picked up an XFX 5970 for my new rig.
I'm very excited about Battlefield Bad Company 2 and it's looking like it'll take advantage of PhysX processing more than any other game to date...presumably with more physics...
I agree 100%.
The quality of the video and the way his message was conveyed leads me to believe that this guy is more than just a dumb redneck with a gun.
Here's the 'more info' section from the video:
"I have bought all three generations of iPhones on launch day, but I cannot take it any...
You're on the right track...get the G7....get it. I upgraded to this mouse from my Razor b/c I wanted wireless functionality. Not only is there NO LAG when you game, but I find it more accurate and more comfortable.
I haven't used a Ratpadz, but I have a Func 30 that I "sometimes" use it...
Yea, I had always kinda thought the same thing about JVC....until I started doing some extensive HDTV research prior to my purchase. Turns out that JVC is one of the only companies out there that is able to mass produce LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) HDTV technology at a sub-5-figure price...
For those of you non-assholes, I just got off the phone w/Creative and they've said that they are not taking orders on any of the 4 X-Fi cards right now (even though the Xtrememusic and Platinum can be found at any Best Buy :rolleyes: ). When asked about when they would actually be available to...
