https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/ SATA SSD-870 EVO Firmware... SVTO2B6Q *The 870 EVO model will be manufactured with a revised V6 process starting November 2022 So does that mean, they are still inferring the firmware works for old drives , I suppose it does.

I am looking for the same thing. Anyone worked out where the lock is yet? (I know where the CCC max values are in the BIOS, but if you change them the drivers don't load) or Is it possible to safely use a PCIe 3850 or 3870 DDR3 bios? I am tempted to try but I suppose I better make sure I have a...

Yes its has but it has beaten them a few times I think, hence Vista. I have being toying with the idea of installing Vista. The only thing left beating me is that from what I read the sound is not hardware accelerated and games are slower. Years ago I read Microsoft's goal was to replace the...

Some (most?) 'expensive boutique' RAM is just older slower spec chips overclocked. When they do this it allows them to drop latencies. It is smarter to just get the correct spec for your motherboard from the people who make the chips like Hynix or Samsung, never looked at Kingston so have no...

Even the IQ screenshots are different resolutions and they plastered text on some of the interesting bits of the pictures... rofl

XP likes 768 I think I probably have Windows 7 beta 1 somewhere (edit: hmmmm nope just looked, anyone know if it came in any ms supbscriptions?) the next beta will have a new desktop... probably lighter and faster than vistas

I hope they do, I got vista and never installed it

atm I am using 8.3.. too lazy to edit 8.4 and put it on I am running just the drivers (i.e. no CCC) and disabled both the ATI services as well. Using a PCIe power connector from the ps Overclocked mildly last week to 729 with the default BIOS edited in "RBE - Radeon BIOS editor". Will...

What is the CPUID? In the graph the 3850 is at stock, I am going to add overclocked 3850 results to the graph when I get time, I want to do it properly though as some people have already cooked these cards. btw there is another graph here...

I see no point in comments like 'I see no point'. In terms of 3DMark06's it is 20% faster than a X1950PRO on our old systems and 70% faster than a GF6800. It lets us play every game and get a beast of a PC l8r, thus postponing lots of reinstalls/driver hunts etc etc. That is 3 or 4 points

k, btw I almost got that Q6600 so it's a nice CPU you got Warlock, mega OC :) . This 3850 AGP card sort of came at a lucky time I suppose, the chart was just to give ppl with 3GHz P4's or greater the idea they may actually get away with another year or two if their board is in good nick.

Why does everyone go down the glass half empty path... I can play all my games with no slowdowns, that is all that matters to me. The fact that with this card a 2007 system is only twice as fast as this 2002 system speaks volumes. I doubt the extra CPU power adds up to much benefit...

Not much point in pushing it so hard, 5000 is enough to tide us over till next year or l8r. :p and memory speed does not seem to make much difference, ye'ol'P4 is pretty close to maxed out past 3200
