    Do 10-bit monitors require a Quadro/Firepro card?

    So after all as of November 2016, what is the official word as I keep finding only old threads and half the people says yes, others no or they don't know... some thing they do have 10bit while it's actualy a simulated 10bit, so do we NEED a FireGL/Quadro card to handle a native 10bit monitor and...

    Crucial Releases Firmware Update for M4 SSDs, Fixes BSOD Issues

    Weird all their previous update used to be simple setup.exe throught Windows and now it's a damn boot cd... also who the hell ran their SSD for over 5100 houres already?! That's over 30 weeks, the M4 maybe doesn't even exist since more than 40 weeks. I keep having BSOD 1 time on 5 when I wake up...

    AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80 GHz

    Yes I don't know wtf is wrong with the memory settings from Gigabyte motherboards... I got their mobo with the 890GX chipset and my ram is rated at DDR3-1600 7-8-7-24 1,35v. The bios sets the voltage to 1.50 which I don't mind however the SPD column isn't even the optimised one it's the terrible...

    Auzentech X-Meridian Back With a Bang in New Second Generation Model

    Perhaps the whole point of the Crystalizer is to make that 320kbps mp3 file sound as good as the Flac without any "effects"? If it can achieve this job then it will save you a hell out of space, not to forget that it's much harder to find or buy ur music online in Flac format so I'd rather have...

    Auzentech X-Meridian Back With a Bang in New Second Generation Model

    Ya I'd be really suprised to tell a difference between 110 and 120dB SNR. It's like saying you can notice the difference between 44.1 and 48Khz. I've read in a review that the human ear actualy can't notice the difference of 192Khz so that's complete overkill and that's why no one record its...

    Auzentech X-Meridian Back With a Bang in New Second Generation Model

    Why as long it's not a X-Fi chip. I've seen the software of the HT Omega since I recommanded a friend to buy it and it felt really old and cheap compare to the X-Fi software included with Auzentech cards.

    Auzentech X-Meridian Back With a Bang in New Second Generation Model

    I used to have a Auzentech Prelude and found out that I could use the Optical to connect it on the Z-5500 I had and I was sure that it was better cause it shown (DTS Connect 5.1 blablabla) but in fact it was really stupid because I would use the very cheap DAC from the Z-5500 instead of the one...

    AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80 GHz

    I would have got a second HD4870 used for about 120$ in order to crossfire but it would lack DX11 and it's so much more power hungry than a HD5770 so that's why I'm not doing it but yea it would be as good as a HD5850 for much cheaper. I just installed my 1055T yesterday to replace my E8400...

    AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80 GHz

    Just received today my 1055T which I bought for 200$CAD. I'll try it out tonight and OC the **** out of it hehe. I currently have a E8400 that I've raised from 3.0 to 4.32Ghz but even thought it's a monstruous overclock on air cooling, I would still be better with a 6 cores in newer games. I...

    SteelSeries 9HD Mouse Pad

    After all I really love the pad and I think more than the Goliathus or at least it's gonna be more futurproof as it won't wear out with time. I'll just send it back to BestBuy for refund since I found out the 4HD is exactly the same so why spend 2x more for unused space.. I also got a very...

    SteelSeries 9HD Mouse Pad

    Yeah that's what I was thinking too but it's good that you can confirm it. I'd like to see if it's really true that it helps mostly for the Xai.. if only those SS batards could release it to NA before next year (-_-). Anyway, so far the Habu on the 9HD is really great for Quake.

    Razer Goliathus

    I don't know after how long it worn out in the middle (the place I was using it 90% of the time) since I would only notice it when I had my cloth all wet from washing it.. I could very clearly see the middle being less black than the rest of the pad but on the touch I don't think they was a big...

    SteelSeries 9HD Mouse Pad

    Then what's the whole point of getting the 9HD if the only difference with the 4D would be the size?! I'm a high-sens user so the current size is way overkill for me. I just bought the 9HD at BestBuy for 39$CAD (thought it's 35$ on the net) only because there's a 30 day money back thing so I...
