Trot out your specs and we'll match it to some Z77 systems to see who would win that bet.
While you're at it, trot out how much your system cost and we'll compare that as well.
*edit* Saw your sig. Well, with 3 HD7970s, I wouldn't be surprised if it performed better than Z77 systems in games...
Thanks for the info, and the new 840 does look very nice from the specs. I'll wait until it hits shelves here and make a decision between the 830 and 840.
The horizontal SATA ports are the reason I'm excited to get a new mobo - got a new GPU and I had to remove a hard drive because the longer card blocks one of the ports.
I usually order everything from internet retailers and AFAIK there's no difference which part of the country you're in (other than shipping maybe) so I'm not sure how much regional difference there would be.
Here in Victoria (pop 350k) there's one store that has a limited inventory in stock...
When it comes to computer parts things are always more expensive due to us having a tenth of your population, even when our currencies are at near parity.
For instance, Newegg US has the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 mobo for $135 regular price. Newegg CA has it for $180.
I'm in Canada - Samsung 830 is $230 and Crucial M4 is $195.
Machine is going to be Win7x64 for is web development and design, some gaming, and a couple of VMs (those might be on a traditional HD).
From the bench comparison, looks like the 830 is the better drive overall, but I don't want...
For 3x I use a Gigabyte H61M-DS2H. The 4th 1x pci-e slot right next to the 16x doesn't work for whatever reason, but most boards with 4+ pci-e slots should work from what I've read.
The mining forum on bitcointalk is going to be a better place for answers.
Wellllp, after a lot of searching, looks like Windows is just terrible with its handling of displayports. So to anyone in the same boat you have two options:
1. Create an Eyefinity group - when the DP monitor is turned on, the windows+taskbar will shift, but the AMD software will move them...
I'm running win 7x64, in extended display mode. One monitor connected through displayport (DP), and the other one through DVI (DVI) set to primary desktop monitor. If I have windows or the taskbar on monitor DP and turn it off and then back on, monitor DVI goes black for a second and then all of...
Maybe I wasn't clear enough when I said "With that [the horizontal + vertical pixels], we can get an aspect ratio and then ignore pixels altogether"
Since we're comparing aspect ratios, it doesn't matter what the original pixel values were once we determine them. It complicates things...
