    Using a gtx460 and gt710 in the same system

    I had a code 43 with the newer drivers, that's why I installed the older ones and it worked. I'll keep experimenting. 350.12 isn't that old anyway.

    Using a gtx460 and gt710 in the same system

    Exactly what the title says. I want to use a gtx 460 for the graphics rendering and the gt 710 for the physx duties. Problem is, I cannot use the newer Nvidia drivers with windows 10 for the gtx 460. I want to know if it's possible to use the older drivers (that work with the 460) for the gt...

    TRFC seems a bit high(slow)

    yeah 4x4Gb sticks man. Not really interested in overclocking them, they're already better than my old sticks anyway...One day I might but at the moment they are providing flawless service and the extra memory will definitely help across the board with the heavy duty processes. Thanks again...

    TRFC seems a bit high(slow)

    CL9Q-16GBXL is the model number I got from the site I bought it from. Maybe google that? All in all it will help alot with 3d rendering and audio/video conversion too...along with the gane design projects I do casually. Let me know if it is normal though please.

    TRFC seems a bit high(slow)

    My row cycle refresh (tRFC) with my old DDR3 PC10600 memory was 88 when I had it in my current system. Today I installed a full 16gb of GSkill Ripjaws 1600Mhz PC12800 DDR3 memory. It runs great, but the tRfc is way high I am sure. At the moment it is at 208 clocks. Everything else is set in...

    Intel 860 - Cannot reach 3.8Ghz anymore...

    I think I know what the problem is. My ram is only PC10700. My mates ram when he was using this system was PC12800. Would that sort of thing limit my OC ability?

    Intel 860 - Cannot reach 3.8Ghz anymore...
