Selling two of these cards. I'll sell them shipped for $200 each, or $375 together as a pair. Good for mining. Payment Method: Google Wallet PM if interested.

Hey guys. I'm still rocking 2 7970s in crossfire in my rig. I've been looking at all sorts of announcements and I'm wondering if it's even worth upgrading at this point? I've had these cards for like 4 years now, and now I have a nice new 4k TV in the living room. These cards are hot and...

Just thought I'd show some pics of my latest build here. Fractal Designs Define Mini Seasonic 750w MSI X79MA-GD45 Intel Core i7 3960x Corsair H80 Water Cooling 16gb G-Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600 2x ATI HD 7970 3GB 1 Intel 320 Series 120gb SSD 2 WD Caviar Black 1TB Drives Here is a...

Hey guys. Just put together a new rig over the weekend and ran into a big of a snag. I have the MSI X79MA-GD45 m-atx board in a Fractal Design Define Mini case, along with a Corsair H80 cooler and 16gb of G-Skill Ripjaws ddr3 1600. Problem is, when I have all 4 dimms populated [4x4gb] the...

1. What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming 2. What's your budget? Could probably go up to $3,000 (raise, xmas bonus, tax refund) 3. Where do you live? I live in Northern NJ. We have Micro Center, but my friend builds/fixes PC's for a living, so we have access. 4. What exact parts...

I currently have an HP DV9000T that has lasted me nearly 4 years. Thing is a workhorse, but the dual core Centrino inside is starting to get a bit long in the tooth. I've been looking for about a week now at all different laptops to replace it. Many of the 17" laptops available are...

My work needs a box that can drive 4 monitors simultaneously. I was wondering if 2 low profile 5570's in a crossfire config would be able to do Eyefinity with a 4x1 setup? I just wasn't sure where development of the drivers had left off with crossfire and eyefinity playing nice. I heard that...

I have a 6 gb micro SD card or my nexus one, and my phone randomly rebooted last night and got stuck in a boot loop. I tried restoring a backup of the phone and it got stumble on restoring the ext partition on the card. So I pulled it and put a new card in, phone booted fine. So I know it was...

2 times in the past week I've been playing BC2 and after about 2 hours of gaming, my usb devices stop working [keyboard lights shut off, mouse stops working] and when I go to restart my system, it turns on for half a second, then shuts off, then turns on, etc. After a few tries it finally...

So i was just doing some audio editing for my band, and it seems like my board shorted out. USB stopped working and then a few seconds later the computer shut off. I rebooted and the motherboard had no time and date set up. It started to boot and says "raid controller 1 initializing" and then...

http://store.steampowered.com/news/3501/ I'm loving the expanded game info, and the new download manager. I kind of think the interface is akin to the Zune software, which I think is a good thing. Anyone else tried it? What do you think?

Getting some odd behavior in this game with my new 5970. If I set the game to 1920x1080 fullscreen, I get about 20fps, no matter the graphical settings. If I switch to windowed, everything runs smooth. Anyone else experience this?

http://kotaku.com/5404092/dino-d+day-dinosaurs-and-nazis-living-together-mass-hysteria Totally gonna download this when I get home today and try it out. HL2 mod + dinosaurs + nazis = crazy, lol.

I just read through the recent thread that was closed regarding underscan in the new CCC. I've found the settings and tried everything I can, but nothing I do is working. I have a Sharp 42" lcd tv, and until recently was running it at 1920x1080 over the VGA connection perfectly. Last night I...

Just got a phishing scam message from a user in the [H]ardOCP steam group. Of course they try to make it look like a legitimate message, but everyone should know better. THIS is the account it came from. Just be aware and be smart when you're on Steam. edit: clever bastard removed...

Hey guys. I was doing some overclocking on my i7 920, put it up to 3.2ghz and ran Prime95. It got through the first 6 just fine, but then the system locked. Anywho, now I've rebooted and it says it doesn't have the RAID driver, and it's not showing my RAID volume. My question is, is all...

Any clue when this will be available at retail? I'm looking to use this in my new i7 build.

http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/dell-sp2309w-hits-for-379-your-old-display-is-marked-for-death/ Awesome price for the size and res. Anyone know anything about the guts? I've been looking to head up to another resolution, I have an Acer 24" right nwo that does 1920x1200, but the 30"...

Making a new i7 build in a few weeks and I was wondering if I should go with 6gb or 12gb of ram? I do a lot of gaming, vidoe editing, photoshop, and audio recording. I'm worried 6gb may be too little as many people have good performance in all those areas with 8gb. Anyone have any thoughts?

I'm gonna be building a Core i7 system in the coming weeks. Right now I've got 3 320gb WD drives. I'm selling my whole tower off and getting rid of them. I was wondering if going with a 10k rpm Velociraptor would be of any benefit as my main OS/Programs drive, and then have two 1TB drives for...

I'm gonna be putting together a new Core i7 build soon and need an opinion on some cases if you guys don't mind sharing. At the moment I have an Antec Sonata3 and the one thing I really hate about it, is that having the 3870x2 in there, it's rediculously close to the hard drives. getting...

Don't really think it is, bit just in case, **SPOILER ALERT** I can't for the life of me remember where the location of the Ghoul who wants you to find Sugarbombs is. I have about 16 boxes of the stuff and want to unload em for some caps, but I can't remember where the guy is, lol. I know...

http://store.steampowered.com/app/5141/ I suggest grabbing the HD version off Steam

Anyone else had blinking or shimmering textures? It's really annoying in my game. It's only on certain objects, and ALL the roads in the game. Some mountainsides as well. I've got the 8.10 hofix drivers, which dramatically improved performance over the normal 8.10's, but I had the shimmering...

http://pc.ign.com/articles/915/915449p1.html Good news. They're also mentioning the biggest marketing campaign ever for a Valve game, including posters, billboards, commercials, etc. Can't wait for this game to come out.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40178.html Some more interesting tidbits. And I have to say, this game is looking so good. The extra polish they are putting on it is awesome.

EA had their presentation and Gabe spoke about Left4Dead. Here is the video for the presentation. it really looks like they threw the Source engine into steroid mode. They're going back now and reworking all the filmic effects and re-working the character designs. It looks a ton better than...

just wanted to say that this game is awesome. I'm about 7 hours in and it's so much fun. i actually hate putting the wii-mote down and shutting my console. Brush strokes take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's cake with the wii-mote. Now I see why everyone made such...

Well, now that the powerplay bug has been taken care of, I have a bit of another issue. Well, to be exact, I always had the issue. The top card in my system will boot and have a normal fan profile, revving up when it gets hot, but the bottom card will not. it sits at 5% duty cycle and doesn't...

Well, the 8.3 Hotfix Driver has taken care of the powerplay issues guys.

ExtremeTech did a writeup about how SP1 of Vista compares to out-of-the-box Vista, and Vista with installed hotfixes. Looks promising. Read Here "With SP1 right around the corner, the Vista community is champing at the bit. Most of our gaming experience, and definitely our other tests...

AMD/ATI To Release Catalyst 8.3 March 5th Looking forward to crossfireX and Aspect Ratio Scaling. Also, maybe a fix for this powerplay bug in Crysis?

The old version of RivaTuner didn't detect my X2 properly, so I have just been using the ATI Overdrive tab to overclock. Had it set to 855/955. Just got the new version and the X2 comes up, allows for fan changes, etc. So i turn on the hardware monitoring and jump in a game of UT3 and I get...

Ok, I had a pair of 1950xtx's and everything was running fine. Just got my 3870x2's from newegg today and put them in my system. Decided to remove the driver and run driver cleaner. Did a reboot and installed the drivers on the disc. Restart and i get "External Event Utility has stopped...

Check it out I'd hurry, dunno if this is a mistake, but who cares, I'm already in for one! [update] Apparently they corrected it...

Has any more information been released on this? My HD3870's have been back ordered at Dell again, so I may just forget about it and wait a month for the 3870x2.

again... ordered last month, bought 2 3870's for $220 each. got pushed back to shipping on the 10th. now I check today and it's pushed back to the 17th. Why do companies continue to take orders when the stock is gone, and then not inform the user of the backorder? Sorry, just venting...

I have a friend who is looking to do some heavy duty video encoding and streaming on his PC. What vid card do you think would help him the most in this task?

I've been playing the orange box since it came out, and Team Fortress 2 since the beta was released. In TF2, Portal, and Episode 2 i get massive stuttering while playing. Even with vsync on, I get fluctuation from 100 to 60 to 40 to 25fps about every 2 seconds. Even when just looking at a...

Hey guys, I'm going to be buying a DLP tv for my room soon and had a couple questions. I'm gonna get the 50' Samsung DLP with 1080p resolution. If I use this as a computer monitor [using the vga connection] what kind of frame rate [hz] is associated with this? I know LCD tv's are usually...
