I have running 2x Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X in crossfire, stock clocks, driver: 14.200.1004.0. These are my scores: FireStrike: 14102 (Graphics: 21417, Physics: 7917, Combined: 5901) FireStrike Extreme: 7915 (Graphics: 9450, Physics: 8016, Combined: 3539) Valley Extreme HD: 4350 Are these scores...

Hey, I am planning to buy a Wii U with Mario Kart 8. Mario Kart 8 can output 1080p with 60 FPS. But, to show Wii U's full power, my TV will have to be 60 Hz or more as well, right? I think my TV is only 50Hz. My TV is: Samsung UE32F5000. On the package it says 100 Hz but I don't think that is...

Huh? You mean that the cable is the problem? I described my setup wrong: I have a hdmi to hdmi cablee, with a hdmi to dvi adapter. I used this one: http://www.handyman.nl/product/scanpart-adapter-hdmi-f-dvi-d-m/3990022053/

Hey, Untill MK8 comes out, I want to play MKWii on the Wii. (NOT Wii U!). I want to connect this to my monitor (Acer V243HL). It has a dvi and vga input. 24 inch and 1920*1080. I have bought a Wii2HDMI adapter and used a HDMI to DVI cable to connect it to my monitor. I have tried 480i, 576i and...

I would like to connect my Wii U to my 27" 1440p monitor: the Qnix qx2710. This monitor only has a DVI slot and a jack slot (dont know if I can plug speakers into it). How can I get this to work WITH sound?

Hey, I run two R9 290's Tri-X In crossfire. When I boot my PC, the fans of the bottom card doesn't run. When I do something in afterburner, they do run (dunno if they run because of me playing in msi afterburner or if it is something else). Is this normal..? G45 Gaming, i5 4670k, 2x4GB ram...

Hello, Today I got my 2 R9 290 Tri-X cards. They are both on stock OC (1000/1300). When I benchmark in Valley on Extreme HD, I get a score of 4357. In Firestrike I get an overall score of 13807 and a Graphics score op 20746. Are the cards underperforming, normal or 'overperforming'? Temps don't...

I have a TRI-X R9 290X. When I start my PC, and I do a Valley benchmark, I only get around 1700. When I reboot my PC, I get around 2570. This is always the case and I don't know if this is a card issue or a driver issue. I run on Catalyst 14.1. I also tested to play BF4 when I start my PC and...

Hello, I bought a Trix R9290X yesterday. I received it, but I saw the box was already opened before, so someone else bought it before and RMA'd it. The box was also scratched and not new. Then there were also light scratches on the fans and plastic case of the GPU. The PCB itself seemed fine...

I overclocked my 4670k @4,1Ghz at 1.2Vcore. Now I want to set CPU Ratio Mode to Dynamic mode (now on Fixed mode) and Core Voltage Mode on Adaptive Mode (now on Override mode). Can I do this safely as long as I am not stressing? I want to still be able to do safely benchmarks as 3dmark...

Is aida64 a better way to test full stability?

So, i overclocked my 4670k at 4.2 GHz at 1.2Vcore. I tested stability with intel burn test and it passes. Now im doing the 3dmark firestrike benchmark and i get a bsod. Isnt this weird as itb is much more demanding? I reduced clock speed to 4 GHz and now it passes the bechmark fine. 2x660ti...

I would like to buy addition fans for my case to lower the temperatures of my GPU's in dual SLi. In the side panel I have the ability to put 2x 120 mm fans or 1 big 200mm fan. What will result in better cooling for my 2 GPU's? Noise isn't a problem. Which specific fans do you recommend me?

Hmm, when I set it CPU Ratio Mode to Dynaminc mode (previously Fixed mode) and set CPU Core Voltage Mode to Adaptive mode (previously Override mode) CPU-Z still shows 1.198-1.201 Vcore! Clock frequency is still 42000 MHz as well. It doesn't 'downclock' as it is supposed to do.. Im not doing any...

Thank you. But if I change Override mode to Adaptive mode, I heard it can fluctuate much higher than what you set it while benchmarking or stressing the CPU. Regardless that, should I set it to Adaptive mode if I am not benchmarking or doing stress tests? I will be gaming.
