Hi all. I have an hd 5770 and an hd 5750 in xfire together. They're on an MSI am3 motherboard labled as crossfire ready, but the other day while playing crysis 2 multiplayer, I noticed that my usage on the 5750 was at absolute zero while the 5770 was at 100 percent constantly. It's not a CPU...

I remember hearing AMD scrapped the original bulldozer in favor of the modern design. what was the original design like? Did it still include the shared resources like today?

Has anyone out there been crazy/ rich enough to build a system with at least two Nvidia cards in SLI alongside two Radeons in crossfire and then tried to use the hack where you can run the physx on the nvidia card and the AMD cards are primary? The system is possible from a hardware standpoint...

I started out with an AthlonII x4 620 at 2.6 stock and managed to push it up to 3.0. I did it in 100 megahertz increments and prime 95 tested for about six to eight hours each time to make sure it was stable. Was that long enough or should I have tested longer? I've heard you need 24 hrs to be...

My eyfinity group supports that kind of resolution (actually 2k, but whatever... same concept)

I've been into computers for awhile, but only been building for about a year and a half. Has the AMD/Intel price ratio always been like it is now, or back when (those few times) AMD was on top, did their pricing more or less resemble Intel's? I'm a pretty big AMD fan, so I would hate for my...

I've been saving up for a computer upgrade for awhile and I'm thinking about doing the whole 3d route. I've been doing a little research and I see 120 Hrz monitors and active shutter glasses, but the glasses are all designed for TVs. Can these be used for monitors, too? I dont want to go the...

I currently have a Radeon HD 5770 in my computer, which gives me 3 monitors. I love my setup, but I also have a fourth monitor in my attic. It would be perfect to use for monitoring my temps, CPU usage, and which song is playing in the background on media player without interuping my eyefiniy...

Been looking at VIA's site recently. Came across this: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/embedded/boards/mobile-itx.jsp Could i use this along with a netbook battery, custom- molded plastic case, and, say, mimo mini monitor to build a custom tablet? Just thought it would be cool. Mabey i...

Seems like awhile back there was a thread popping up every week from somebody who had the novel idea of buying the thousands of dollars it would take of (drumroll) MERCURY!!! and pumping through a water cooling loop, despite the obvious danger of DEATH, and in blatant disregard to the technical...

Simple question: what temperature range should I keep my Athlon II in? What's safe?

Maybe use bigfoot for gaming and the onboard for background downloads & other stuff?

Hi all. I'm facing an interesting computer build soon. You see, I'm in the air force as a heavy equipment operator, and we deploy on a six-month-on, six-month-off cycle. I just got out of training and still have a couple of months till my first deployment, and was wanting to ask some advice on a...
