7950 Vapor-x overclocking - TriXX settings are not applied to real games / GPU-z

uninstalled both and reinstalled trixx. now it's working just fine! I could probably do something close to 1200/1500 without artifacting if could fine tune the vddc a bit more. ho-hum I guess? I was told ram clock matters little for gaming, only looking to get the most out of the core. Hope it...

7950 Vapor-x overclocking - TriXX settings are not applied to real games / GPU-z

the other bios is V06, defaults to 950/1250. Strangely though, when I start furmark it drops to 850 in no time. A tad different, since the first bios I was on started at 850 and stayed there for it's entirety (wouldn't budge for a millisecond) I think I will go ahead try flashing to a different...

7950 Vapor-x overclocking - TriXX settings are not applied to real games / GPU-z

Just tried what you suggested - unigine heaven with furmark in the background - still stuck at the stock clocks. Not surprised though, as it had already been established that the GPU-Z sensors were reading 850/1200 regardless of what Furmark was (erroneously?) reporting. Indeed, there might be...

7950 Vapor-x overclocking - TriXX settings are not applied to real games / GPU-z

Is this an ongoing problem? What I have here is TriXX v. 4.8.2 with cat 14.7 beta for win8.1 x64. Any chance this has to do with the boost feature? I will try switching the bios just for the hell of it... didn't even know it had a switchable bios :p

7950 Vapor-x overclocking - TriXX settings are not applied to real games / GPU-z

Hi guys, long time no see! I just picked up a used 8pin+8pin Vapor-x 7950 to replace my aging 5850. 1080P is all it has to handle ftm, but I thought I would be doing it injustice by leaving it at stock clocks and started gathering info to overclock the hell out of it. On the 5850, all I...

PC gaming on a 42 inch or 47 inch 1080p?

well I had a general understanding that plasmas are vastly superior in terms of IQ, but I thought that included the black level (i.e. correlated to contrast)? either way, thanks for good input. my second question was actually pointing to the fact that many of the LCDs (VAs in particular) are...

how does refresh rate work on plasmas exactly? Are plasmas free from input lag? I am all ears :)

input lag most likely? are you gaming at the native res? be sure to turn off all extra post processing crap (which should be off for better IQ anyway). some TVs have more input lag than others, no way to get around it. samsungs upper tier use PVA which are generally more input lag prone (some...

Where to buy big, flat passive VGA cooler?

excellent choice on the s1 rev2, but they tend to go cheaper at ewiz, especially if you factor in the coupons that come and go. since it's very unlikely you would ever return these, you wouldn't really have to worry about customer support (not that ewiz's return policy is all that bad, just that...

GTS450 reviews including SLI

yeah, but nobody said 4890 was quiet either. the fact is if noise is a concern, one could have easily grabbed a cheap s1 rev2 from ewiz for under $20 + some cheap 120mm and get the job done with overclocking and all. for 480gtx, there are only substantially more expensive aftermarket cooling...

Unfortunately looking for excellent headphones

Quite possibly so? :p It could be something about my earlobes, they tend to be larger than average I think. To me the earpad (or driver cover) material pressing against them would cause discomfort after no longer than 5 minutes of listening. Part of it could be placebo, as I always try to...

Why all the hate for1920x1080 displays?

I understand we have some fundamental differences in our needs / preferences, so I respect your choice. Not to be an inquisitive bastard or anything, but isn't gaming on a couch a bit awkward? I have a friend of mine that actually does that - he puts his keyboard on his lap and a mouse on the...

Out of those, I have HD650, HD580, D7000, AD2000 and K701. Between HD650 and AD2000 it's a bit of a toss up to me, with the former having a bit more resolution and midbass centric presentation, whereas the latter has some more euphorically mellow midhighs (at the cost of some lower notes...

oh, I thought he implied "internet browsing". You don't really read lengthy articles off your local file structure do you? :p

or you could just use chrome and do away with all that unnecessary clutter IE or FF makes you suffer with.. dunno, I don't write my papers at home. when I read, I read paragraph by paragraph not the entire page at once. To my left, I have a 1600x1200 setup on my secondary rig which I find no...
