I find the pricing here a bit on the high side. It would be nice to see the "value" options in each catagory much like the GPU reviews. IE a Low input lag 75Hz "Gaming Ready monitor", especially as few people's rigs can push higher than 60fps in most titles anyway

My new machine (desktop replacement for dead laptop) has a HD 7770 and I am currently running it through a HDMI 1080p TV and the monitor I spoke of earlier (through DVI to VGA adapter) in extend and there are no issues. (it should be noted that on the laptop the smaller monitor was in extend as...

Debug checklist: >Check for a tripped RCD / blown fuse in you're Power distribution board >Check the fuse on the TV (normally in the plug >Check for a reset or similar on the TV >Post finer details about what your TV still does / doesn't do here, along with details of you TV make and model If...

Black band? If so I had something similar with a HD 4650 pushing a 1600 by 900 laptop monitor and a 1280 by 1024 vga monitor, but it was constant and truly unusable. I concluded that it was the great difference in resolution or the VGA connection speed being a limitation as the laptop didn't...

Was your laptop's power brick plugged in? If so, is that fried too? If so, Probably.

second hand I believe they're about 80USD. Don't take my word for it though because I usually have to work in GPB

Well I think it's pretty darn cruel for The GPU designers to make the "stock" cards as manufacturing samples for us to drool over, and then not make them available to the public, so that by the time we get them some company's stuck an ugly infective cooler on it and tweaked the BIOS so we can't...

I'm having a similar problem: ATI Radeon HD 7770 on a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard. all information points to the surround view option should be working, however on activating it the computer blue screens on start up and the primary display (PCIe one) drivers are destroyed meaning the card...

Have you considered a closed loop water cooler?

OK thanks for the reply what would class as a good mid range mobo to use with a AMD FX 4100 and ATI Radeon HD 7770? I know this issn't quite a graphics question anymore, sorry.

I Underclock my Mobility Radeon HD 4650 by ~20% But that is only because it's trying to melt it's self. Underclocking will technically heal the bottle neck, by removing the wide bit, then all your left with is a smaller pipe. Metaphors aside I guess your not trying to lower performance, but a...

I'm currently looking at building a new mid range system (AMD FX 4100, 8 gig of ram, mechanical HDD, etc...) My question is I'm looking at motherboard and graphics card choices, and was wondering is it worthwhile spending the extra £30 (yes I have to live with GBP) on a crossfire capable...
