Can you still do this if you have an original install disc ? The last threads I found on it through Google were from 2010-2011

I've always been using upper end v.cards over the last 20 years, but I no longer find myself gaming anymore (getting old!). So when someone offered me a good price for my HD7970, I sold it, and through in an HD5450 I had laying around. I now have another use for that card, and since my mobo...

Short and sweet, what is currently the best app to test your v.card overclocks with for artifacts ? I want a general idea, and will down clock if any games have issues, but just need an app like Kumbustor or Furmark, etc. What is everyone using ?

I have a choice between the following reference cards. All prices cdn. PowerColor - $570 XFX - $575 HIS - $580 Sapphire - $600 So which would you pick and why ? I have a Dell U3011 on it's way, and probably will snap one up while in stock.

Interesting thread over at OCUK http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18356759 They also have 100 in stock for the 9th

I'm deciding which mem to buy for a 2600k/P8Z68-Pro build. Same capacity, brand, and timings, just the voltage rating seems different. The processor will be o-clocked, and I'm aware of the .5v spread required between the cpu/mem. 1.25v http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX33415(ME).aspx...

Hi, wasn't sure whether to post this in the storage or mobile sub-forums. Anyway I bought this netbook last weekend http://www.samsung.com/us/business/laptops/NP-N145-JP01US-features I've used it for a few days, and want to swap in a 60gb Vertex Summit SSD, to replace the 160gb 5400rpm drive. I...

I'm trying to help out a friend from work. He has an older Dell (2.66 P4, 1 gig, 60 gig, XP Home), Using a mix of Norton AV, the latest ad-aware, and windows firewall, he was infected with a Win32 derivitive that included a dialer and a few other things. Now I used Kaspersky Rescue disc...

I haven't tried it yet, but for those that like testing various things, here's the link to the drivers/sdk to run PhysX on ATI. Yes it's in early development, but seems to be targeting a lot of the ATI cards, not just the newest ones. Scroll to the bottom to see available downloads as it...

I've never used this brand, and it's the only one available as a replacement in an older system. Decent, or junk ?

My gf's IC7 puked, and need a quick short term replacement, no overclocking. I have no experience with this brand, and was wondering if it is decent or just a boxload of problems ??

The GF's comp is hosed, and it's too hard to find a decent P478 mobo in Canada, so I'm putting together a new one. Not sure which of ATI's card offers roughly the same power as her previous card. Thanks in advance !

My GF has one of my old systems, it's a P4c-2.8 on an Abit IC-7 and XP32. The comp was left on, and she came home to the mouse not responding. Reboot, her son games (Grunts) for an hour, then we watch a video and 40 mins in it locks hard. Reboot, and we get to the point when the graphical part...

I'm throwing together a system to get me through the next year, and then I'll hand it down to the gf. It is basicaly an I-net box, and gaming, burn a couple cd's etc. Since this is a budget build, is there any point in getting 4gb over 2gb ? I haven't had a desktop for a year so I'll be playing...

I haven't had a desktop system in 18 mos, and am building one for general use and gaming at 1920x1200. I know after a certain point at that res., that the cpu is irrelevant to fps. The system only needs to be usable for 12 to 18 mos, before I upgrade to i7. Now for non gaming use, and just...

I'm having an issue with the above combo. I have isolated it to the SLI mode when using the 3007, another user confirmed it in jacuzz1 monster thread. When using the newer drivers, it seems like one card loses sync or displays wrong colors. The easiest way to see it is running 3DM06, the initial...

Just wondering if there is anything people agree on that can be done by the end user to help these cards live ? Not sure if I should just throw them in in SLI, or test one at a time ? Wash them ? Flash the bios ? anything........ What I don't want to do though, is merely delay the problem...

I would like to upgrade to 512mb cards for my new monitor. Both manufacturers show the port on the cards, but don't mention whether it is functional, or if there is software. For the record, I haven't been able to get these Leadtek 7800GTX VIVO features to work, even though I'm familiar with...

Prommie Mach 1, P4 set-up. 2 cpu kits, spare closed cell foam, dielectric grease, and a custom made teflon "glide" so an assembled tower slides around easily on carpet. I would prefer to keep it in Canada, as dealing with the border may require the gas to be drained for shipping? $250 cdn or obo

I have the above setup using 81.98 drivers and the latest WDM driver. Whenever you try to launch Winfast PVR, the screen goes black ? Both cards are VIVO. Has anyone resolved this issue ? or know where to look into it ? I couldn't find much info on the Leadtek site. I'm trying to use it to...

I switched to a new system and lost my password to my old logs. Is there any chance to open these to see the contents ? They have the .ple extension, my GF was snooping on my comp at the time, and I had to use the encyption but my old password log was lost when I formatted. The files are stored...

I put an older, known to be good 9700p into my girlfriends computer. She plays the downloadable games from MSN, so nothing too graphicaly intense. We're using the latest catalyst drivers with the older control panel. It is not overclocked. Initialy there were no issues, but recently she has been...

Not sure how to hook this stuff up to do what I need. Computer: -needs to record TV sports broadcasts -output sound to my Denon 2802 (receiver) -play games in 5.1 through the Z-5500's The TV, and the rest of my HT is independant from the comp. I'm just not sure how to deal with the audio...

I ordered my cpu a few hours ago, they still seem to have stock. Price is Cdn. http://www.pccanada.com/viewitem.asp?id=4010 I know some peeps were looking for these, but so far it's the only model they have available. This is my first AMD since the slot A days. just need the HD and mem...

We have Costco here in Can. ( I heard they are a derivitive of Sams Club, but can't confirm it) anyway, all their large TV's or stereo equip. has model #'s exlusive to Costco. You can't really compare it to the stereo or electronics shops, even though the model #'s are similar and they appear...

That's a good sign..... for me, I hope :rolleyes:
