The question is how G1 is faster than 280X at 1920p SMAA/Ultra, when the first one should be out of vRAM? http://www.hardocp.com/article/2015/01/07/far_cry_4_video_card_performance_review/7#.VSOOZY6W5PE Or HBAO+, SS and Enhanced Godrays take their dosage above 3 GB?

Everything is clear now. Actually it is a little bit unfair from reviewers side as there no single world in conclusion about reasons why R9 290 in CF have such a low performance. Unexperienced readers could think that GTX 970 in SLI are going to be superior over all models of R9 290. I feel that...

I should admit with Martelol that the performance difference between R9 290 and R9 290X in CF is too big. An investigation is needed...

As I said secure erase was performed so SSD is in fresh state but doesn't help. There is no point about GC and TRIM here I think.

Hi guys, I am using Iometer for testing SSDs but recently faced mystical situation when having same options in Iometer Kingspec Challenger 120 GB SSD can't go through 40000 IOPS in 4K 100 % write test (repeating pattern) any more. It was doing ~65 000 IOPS previously. Tried secure erasing but...

It would be great to see how performs Plextor PX-256M5S as it has almost the same price as Samsung 840.

Hello guys, looking to build eyefinity with 3x U2311H. For now I have only one U2311H (rev.A02) and have a possibility to grab second monitor but it's rev.A03. Can I experience any problems of different revisions? Is it worth to mix revisions, because it's really hard to get all three rev.A02?

It would be nice to see power consumption tests;)

What about midrange cards like GTX550Ti/6770? It would be also great to have performance tests of these cards.

Problems with GPU-Z 0.5.5, which can't monitor VDDC, shows 0.000V.

OK guys, thank you for your feedback.

There two second hand options: 1) http://www.powercolor.com/global/products_features.asp?id=209 (no warranty) & 2)http://www.pointofview-online.com/showroom.php?shop_mode=product_detail&product_id=191 (with 1 year warranty) I know that at stock clocks HD5770 > GTS 450, but what about...

GTX550 Ti is faster than HD6670 and has lower price. +1 for Zotac.

I know that AMD AHCI driver supports TRIM under single SSD, but what about RAID config?

I don't understand why push/pull can't fit in all full tower cases? What I'm missing?

What about BSODs or crashes, cause a lot of Force 3 120GB owners still have serious problems even with 1123+ revision Corsair drives?

I'm running Gigabyte 990XA-UD3, also based on AMD 990X chipset. Even at idle northbridge gets quite hot, southbridge not as hot. After gaming I think that I will also not be able to mantain my fingers at NB, as you do.

Any more rev A02 calibration settings?

If you are talking about me and IPS glow, I'm not bothering about the exchange (Dell don't exchange for IPS glow) as it's only visible in the dark scenes + dark surroundings, I just a little bit correct my sitting position and enjoy it.

Haudr -> it's IPS glow. Mine U2311H having the same. Just try to view from more sharp angle and that purple glow will spread through panel.

I'm using 31 for brightness, 96/95/98 for RGB.

daFred --> my Rev.02 also has only one real problem - IPS glow on dark scenes. Do dead pixels, almost no backlight bleed, no annoying AG coating. What RGB settings you are using on your U2311H?

I don't think that 90% of perf.difference comes from higher clocks. GTX 570 also has more SPs and TMUs. I am going to OC this purchase and agree that overclocked GTX 470 will close the gap to ~10%. But GTX 570 max OC with stock voltage is higher than GTX 470 (stock voltage), of course I can...

They are both used, both with warranties and accessories. Just should push a trigger on one of these:)

Considering between these two options. Is GTX 570 worth +90$ tag over GTX 470, having in mind that the first one is ~30% faster, uses slightly less power and runs not so loud ant hot?

Yes, the revision is labeled on the package and at the back of monitor panel.

Got rev A02 (made december 2010). Maybe someone would share settings for this revision?

Yes, that 70$ difference comes from selling my GTX 260. Cause that XFX 6950 is gone, I will go with GTX 470. CPU is upgraded to PHII 955BE and monitor is U2311H with 1920x1080 native.

And how to unlock that shaders without 6970 BIOS flash? As I understand, after registering that XFX 6950 I should get lifetime warranty, or I am wrong? It is purchased in Europe, has buying documents, S/N.

Understood. For real I have and can spend 150$ for XFX 6950, but here I'm looking for the best bang of the buck. HD6950 2GB has a good chance to become HD6970 after BIOS flash, so it have bonus performance. Any idea about XFX warranty?

Ok guys, thanks for your answers:) but now I got another option: new XFX 6950 2GB for another 70-80$ over GTX 470. Maybe it's a better deal? I don't know with XFX warranty policy. That 6950 is purchased abroad and it have buying cheque. After registration on XFX site will I be able to get a...

For sure that GTX 470 is second handed:)

Though I'm happy with my GTX 260 (65nm/192sp), I can play majority of games at decent rez.and good in-game options, I have an option to upgrade it to GTX 470 for ~70$. Is this upgrade worth the price?

Only one real drawback of ZR24W is poor black levels. It can be corrected with callibration. I don't know if I should be aware of it.

Simple question: new Dell U2311H for 300$ or second-hand HP ZR24W for 350$ (used only 3 months, left warranty almost 3 years).

In short, what are the strong and weak points of ZR24W (considering buying one)?

Fujitsu P22W-5 Eco IPS is mentioned in price listes of my country shops, but they are not available and don't know the arriving date, but the price is the same as LG W2220P.

I'm going to calibrate also, but at first with an eye (software). Thanks for replies, I'll choose U2311H, or 1/4 cheaper LG W2220P. P.S. what would be the normal price for second handed Dell 2407WFP (A01)? probably lower than new U2311H?

I'm talking about 2209WA, not U2311H. LG IPS2xxV opinions are not very good: http://forum.ixbt.com/post.cgi?id=print:28:25870 LG W2220P at hardforum: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1435995&highlight=W2220P I don't know if Dell 2209WA is worth 80$ more, probably no.
