How would I go about testing each GPU individually?
Tried K-Boost and uninstalling Precision X. GPU1 just refuses to clock up an it's reading some ridiculous power % usage (300+). Tried different PCI-E slots.. no change.

Disable SLI in the Nvidia Control Panel. It will cut off GPU2 when you do that. Then try a game and see what happens. What drivers are you running?
Tried it. Nope, nothing. Latest beta.
Try going to the drivers before the beta. If that doesn't work, might have to RMA again
No luck. Can't even force the 2d clock up with nvidia inspector.
That's the spirit!
Every place I've lived has been dust central, but I prefer the floor for noise.
Beautiful.My rig is complete, no more money being thrown into this money pit(hopefully... fingers crossed.).
Now replace the rear fan.

Yes, I think so. I'm using a Titan on a 1080p Kuro HDTV (60Hz).
1. Better fps/frametimes.I don't use VSync so I run my games higher than my refresh rate. The higher the fps, the higher rate my mouse and keyboard polls, the more responsive the game is. Pro CS players run their game at 240 fps.
2. More AA e.g. 4xSGSSAA - 8xSGSSAA
3. Downsampling
4. You get more consistent 60fps in Crysis 3.
My goal is to move to a 120Hz monitor at 1080p, so as you can see 1080p can max out a Titan or Titans and other higher end cards plenty. But really it depends on how you want to game. PC gaming is scalable.
So there isn't much difference/concern when putting it on the floor? I have wooden floor panels, so I'm just worried about dust..
Thanks.

I wound up purchasing a mint 7850 today off craigslist for 125. I'm powering off of my terrible 350w PSU. Thankfully I only play one game that doesn't really push its capabilities. I plan on buying a new PSU this weekend. Is the sale on tiger direct for the 420w corsair sufficient?
What games should I get to see what this can do?

sucks man. if it happens again i'd definitely look into just going the titan route.

yea, i think it worked out this way better than I could have imagined. Dude only lived about 30 minutes away. I took my tower over to his place. He was going to give me a 380W PSU for $5 but for some reason it wouldn't power my board. Hooked everything up for me and I wound up talking with him for another hour afterwards.
Playing PSO2 with max settings at 60FPS is ridiculous. Its almost impossible to compare it to what I was dealing with.
I played the first Trine and liked it, but I don't think I could play it enough to beat it. Sleeping Dogs definitely seems like something I could get into after playing it for an hour so far (console)
430w you mean?
VP450 is better, but the CX430 will do if you save a lot on the rebate (They are both effectively ~380W supplies). BP550 for the future + modular.

I'm sure you're correct. I wasn't confidant with that number I posted, but it sounded close lol
I think its 35 total after rebate. Really don't want the Mrs. throwing to many arguments my way.
I don't see me doing much of anything to my current machine. I still have yet to purchase/build my own tower. I just get hand me downs. This one just happened to have an i7 at 2.67 so I was very fortunate.
Anyone got any news on GTX 770/780 at all? Usually they release end of March, obviously that is not the case. Building a new computer in June and I don't want to wait any longer. I could've built the computer back last August, but I decided to wait for Haswell.
I tried googling, but nothing relevant is showing up.

expected in Q4.
Aren't the mobile versions of these expected to show up around the same time as Haswell (i.e. June)? I know I've seen a couple of leaked spec sheets of laptops with both Haswell and a 7XX mobile GPU.
Well if the 700M's are coming out in June then the desktop versions should be around June as well.
From what I saw that is not the case. ATI's GPU is Q4. Nvidia never said anything, yet...
http://m.tomshardware.com/news/Radeon-GeForce-Delay-GPU-Next-Generation,20838.html
officially said nothing but with AMD pushing theirs back i would be extremely surprised if nvidia didn't release theirs then too.
LOL, yeah.
I also purchased some new case fans as well. Mostly because I'd prefer not to use the molex type that this case came with pre-installed.
Might still upgrade the case down the road, but it's really hard to argue with this thing considering the temps I'm getting. Maybe when I feel the need to upgrade my video card from the MSI 660/OC to something more powerful I'll have another look at the case situation. But for $37 this thing is pretty nice.

but why?
thats a gentle typhoon, one of the best in sound signature and build quality.
anyway it seems like ram prices have almost doubled since the beginning of the year

I admit, I lol'd too.
I mean, there is surface not being covered by another exhaust. Total OCD after just adding filters that mkenyon recommended. I had the one rear exhaust filter and read that I shouldn't do that so I modded another fan on the front below my DVD drive to intake so that keeps me at 6 intakes and one rear out.
I'm just glad they are sticking by their warranty. But yeah, I might just do that anyways. Having to send these things back is pretty depressing.
When I got my PSU a year or two back i got an ax850, even though I provably will never use the full potential of it. Way I figure it is CPU's change, motherboards change, video carts change. Petty much the only thing that stays static is the PSU. So get a nice one that is more than your needs now so you will be good for the future.
Yeah. My system runs great as it is, but looking at all this PSU information and it's apparently very low grade. Figured I should buy this thing and hope motherboards don't adopt different mainboard connectors =D
try and find a 7870 XT or a 7870 LE for that price.
XFX 7870 Core Ed: $229.99
XFX 7870 Double D: $225.99
SAPPHIRE 7870 XT: $259.99
I... am not sure what the differences are between these cards.
Would anybody recommend the Arctic Accelero Xtreme 7970 cooler? And what is the difference between that and the Xtreme III. Other than the cheaper price of the 7970 version, they look absolutely identical. And aren't they both universal? I want to use this on the Titan or the Tahiti based 7870 I just bought.

avoid XFX as anyone would tell you.
I don't know if the deal still works but you can buy a Powercolor 7870 Myst which is the Tahiti chip for $209 shipped to your door from Newegg. It was sold out the other day but it seems they've restocked it again. The promo code is PWCHD7870
Just received mines in the mail the other day but I haven't really played with it yet. Doing an HTPC build with this bad boy.

i think it is a waste of time and money. it is not as easy to swap gpu hsf and gpu gets outdated fast.
so just buy a gpu with a ready made custom cooler if you find the default blower too loud.

For anyone waiting for Ivy Bridge-E, prepare to be disappointed:

From the article:
Aside from the quad core being unlocked this time, I don't even know why they bothered. Was there any reason for the holdup?

What did you even get banned for lol
What's the issue with the cooler on the card you have? FWIW though, it would have been a lot cheaper just to buy an ASUS card to begin with.
From personal experience, I'm not fond of the stick-on ramsinks you need to use in conjunction with aftermarket aircoolers. They tend to fall off and can't be reused easily anyhow.
It's my natural charm, a blessing and a curse.

Works for me.
Did a "down or is it just me check". Seems to be just me.
