    GPUs blocking pci slots

    Yep. The 5820k was a huge mess. Really though, there are just problems all around. Mostly with the fact that I can't get rid of this asus xonar sound card. But I didn't plan on getting an sli configuration and thought one 980ti would be fine. But I really want to turn on hairworks in Witcher 3...

    GPUs blocking pci slots

    Will having the sound card in one of the x16 slots affect the 16x/8x gpu setup?

    GPUs blocking pci slots

    Just a random question, so I thought I would put it here. I recently upgraded to a 5820k/Asus X99A setup with a new 980ti. I want to get another 980ti for sli. My problem is that both of them will block the pci 1 slots. I need one slot for my xonar sound card. I tried using the onboard sound...

    980sli or 970sli

    I ended up ordering a vanilla 980ti straight from the nvidia site. It should arrive tomorrow. I will begin my Witcher journey then. Can't wait. Thanks for the advice everyone.

    980sli or 970sli

    I have an FT02B case and a 1000w cooler master psu. I'm just wondering if 970sli would be good enough to carry me into the next generation at the end of this year or beginning of next year when I replace my ram/mobo/cpu. I really want to play witcher 3 and dont want to do it on my ps4. What if I...

    980sli or 970sli

    Hi everyone, I will make my question short. I am looking to play Witcher 3 on ultra settings at 1440p on my QNIX monitor. Will 970 be sufficient for ultra settings or should I purchase two 980s? I am upgrading from a gtx 690 that Ive had for a few years. I didnt want to upgrade anything in my pc...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    I also have the A750D. I've received and sent back three of these asus monitors. I mostly play world of warcraft or rpg games. In DA3 and WoW, the screen door effect was just constant. For me it was the green colors that it was most evident. I really didn't mind the matte finish or color. It was...

    I think I will go with this combo unless anyone else says different. How big are the swans though? They look awful big.

    New Speakers/Sound Card recommendations

    Not much. My desk is fairly small and I just purchased a 27 inch samsung monitor. I have to squish my 5.1 setup together including the sub.

    New Speakers/Sound Card recommendations

    Hey guys, let me just start out by saying that I don't know anything about audio, but I plan to put some of my tax return toward a new set of speakers and sound card. Currently, I'm using onboard audio coupled with a really old set of logitech 5.1 speakers. I was hoping to get a nice set of...

    7970 Purchasing Thread

    Ya, you are right. After testing for about an hour, the average was about 80C which is almost exactly what the [H] review stated as well. Its just shocking that this amount of heat is coming from my pc now lol :D. Glad I waited to get a flagship GPU before playing Crysis. Its amazingly beautiful...

    7970 Purchasing Thread

    Finally got mine, installed it. Been playing about 30 minutes of Crysis 2 and started to notice the very loud sound of the fan. Then I started to notice my room becoming hot. Now I can feel a crazy amount of heat being generated from my computer. Checked the gpu temps and they were around 85C...
