    Win 8.1 Pro constant crashing

    I have seriously considered that....I really just don't want to give up my dynamic drives. Other than here very recently I've had 6 months of rock solid performance. Then out of nowhere sysrestore won't work, acronis takes a sh*t.....I just don't get it...I suspect a registry malfunction or...

    780 3gb tri sli - 4960x - Poor performance in game

    Double checked that PCIE lanes were being recognized, 2 were not. Physically disabled lanes 2 and 3 via MOBO switches and re-imaged....problem was most likely corrupted drivers. After re-imaging everything is back to normal. 75-200 FPS in PS2 on ULtra, TF2 200-300 FPS. Have no idea what...

    780 3gb tri sli - 4960x - Poor performance in game

    Presently I uninstalled the graphics driver in an attempt to start fresh.....then after getting the "no nvidia products detected" error did a sys-restore...and now I can't boot. FML. I"ll try that when I get this next thing figured out. Thanks for the help every body.

    780 3gb tri sli - 4960x - Poor performance in game

    I've tried dual as well, no dice. I agree also, a tad overkill for tf2....the driving force here is planetside 2. That's what I really want to run well. As of right now, it runs about as good as it did on my old rig (previously mentioned). The weird thing is that with this setup I should be...

    Rig: Asus rampage IV black 64 gb corsair 2133 4960x 3x evga 780 (3gb) in tri SLI Can't crack 100fps in tf2 (on mild settings.) Tried it with sli disabled as well, no change. My 6600 and gtx650 don't dip below 100fps on almost maxed settings in the same game. I'm using this game as my...

    Need advice on first build/craigslist bargain dilemma

    Thanks for your input! unfortunately I do not have a ton of money, I've been saving for almost a year and a half....I knew once I went for it....I wanted to get exactly what I wanted, and most likely water cool it....so at the time I decided on a budget of 4k and started saving. The price...
