    G.Skill Ripjaws X 2133 issue

    I'm not getting a post using the titled memory (4x4Gb) in my Gigabyte Gaming 5 Z97 motherboard but will with a single stick. However, I am posting successfully using 2x8Gb crucial ballistix sport 1600 in any equal dual channel slots and with 2x8Gb Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400. The 4x4Gb G.Skill...

    295x2 with 4k TV not recognizing 4k

    I'm having the same problem with my XFX R9 295x2 but I'm using a DVI to HDMI and am only showing a maximum option of 1080p. My Nvidia cards (780's and 780Ti's) recognise all resolutions, up to and including, 4k @60hz using the same lead.

    So, when does NVIDIA Pascal come out?

    The best bet for me is to buy two Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 980Ti's at the launch of Pascal as I did at the launch of the 900 series when I bought 2x Gigabyte Windforce OC GTX 780Ti's which together cost £100 less than a single 980TI and are a fair chunk faster - and I do mean, "a fair chunk" -...

    How could I recover data from my RAW hard disk?

    @johnnyq1233, you can't help the guy incase it is a stollen or found drive? Are you going to help anyone with other hardware/software - what happens if you're helping someone install a GPU or Windows and the Disc isn't legit or GPU is stollen etc? Wouldn't you be aiding and abetting of sorts? I...

    How many watts for GTX 780 SLI?

    I have four rigs, one is a 4770k @4Ghz with two gigabyte Windforce 780Ti's OC in sli using a Corsair CX750 and has been for a year with absolutely no issues with both gpu's hitting the 100% mark in benchmarks. I also have a 4770k @4Ghz with two Gigabyte Windforce G1 Gaming SOC 970's in SLI using...

    Asus Gtx 780 ti vs Gtx 970 g1 gaming

    I know it's an old thread but I'd like to say, a Gigabyte Windforce 780Ti OC 3x vs a Gigabyte Windforce G1 Gaming SOC 970, the 780Ti comes out on top 99% of the time, even at 4k and if you oc the 970 to its limit, the 780Ti is faster. In games at 4k games use more vram if it's available, I've...

    xeon x5675 X2 for gaming?

    It is a near complete rig with 1366 mobo, a 1,500w psu 80+ gold cert, HAF-X case, 16Gb vram etc but no gpu's, which I have. To buy it for the asking I know I could buy a 4790k rig new without gpu for £50 more. if it would perform in games (no current issue's), as an editor it would be great but...

    xeon x5675 X2 for gaming?

    Thanks for the quick response. I am aware only new games will start to implement DX12. Really, the single core architecture and speed of the 4790k and alike are the dominant factors it seams, at the moment. However, I've watched my cpu, a 4770k, barely hit 50% usage in games with everything...

    xeon x5675 X2 for gaming?

    Would two Xeon X5675 be any good for gaming vs a 4790k or 4960x or at all. And, am I right that they're also hyper threaded? I've been offered a rig containing a pair on one board. I know games don't really utilise more than 4 cores yet but won't DirectX 12 help in that area? Cheers.

    What would happen if a 780 and 780Ti are in SLI together?

    I've searched the net and not found any definitive information on whether a 780 and 780Ti can be sli'd together. What I've read is theoretical and Nvidia themselves aren't clear - like their 4Gb 970 sales pitch. They say, as long as vram and chip are the same, which they are... "When choosing...

    gtx 970 msi 4gb gaming vs gigabyte gaming g1

    Recent (the last few months) 970's are a full 4gb, I've read. The G1 Gaming SOC is fantastic.

    4K TV's as a Monitor

    I bought an LG49UB850V eventually @-lone-. It is brilliant and I'll never go back to 1080p. The best £600 I've spent - also the best computer component I've bought! I almost bought the Panasonic but bought a pair of 970's with money saved. I still get 4.4.4 and 60hz. BTW 780Ti gives 60hz also.
