7970 Crossfire question

The 290x is actually pretty decent. I just found this on sale at Amazon, so I'll be returning my card back to Fry's. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PCN3I90 It seems most of the reviews out there side that most current games don't go past 4GB, but I felt a lot of them don't factor AA very...

[DEAD] XFX Double D R9 290X 8GB R9-290X-8DFD $299 AR @ Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PCN3I90 Seems like a good deal for those who don't get taxed by Amazon. $329.99 - $30 mail-in rebate = $299.99 I'm a prime member, so I don't know what Amazon charges for shipping (I didn't see a free shipping advertised on the page). *Update*...

ººººº--§§§§§§§--The Freebies thread--§§§§§§§--ººººº Part 0b110 (six).

Time to see if someone wants this as a project. Promise SmartStor NS4300N The caveat: it needs a new power supply. I ended up getting a good deal on a QNAP box, so never got around to replacing the PSU. One thing to note, most PSU's available were designed with PC's in mind, so there is an...

7970 Crossfire question

I play a mix of FPS, (Frontier Dangerous) , and some RTS. Elder Scrolls and Final Fantasy online are two that I don't mind getting good visuals on. Trying to move away from the console, as I can't play games like GTA in front of my daughter (yet), plus I find it's cheaper on my budget for PC...

7970 Crossfire question

No need to apologize. This is exactly the kind of information that I was looking for. I didn't realize that AT had included the 7970 in their Fury related reviews (check the Fury review and see they also had the 7970 in the 1440 measurements. #1 is what I'm looking to do right now. Been...

7970 Crossfire question

4GB good enough or do I look for an 8GB card if I can find a deal under $300? I understand that most reviews state you don't need more than 4GB unless you are muti-monitor gaming, but I like enabling AA when possible. I do have the XFX 7970 BEDD. Good performance, even thought it's not the...

7970 Crossfire question

I do know my card can crossfire with others in the same GPU family. My concern right now is if I should invest in another older 7970 or if a single 290X will provide just enough to bridge between now and the when the Fury cards hopefully become better (how the early 290Xs weren't great, but...

7970 Crossfire question

From the recent posts, it seems that Crossfire is now stable with the 15.7 drivers. I have an XFX 7970 BEDD which has lasted me about 3.5 years, gaming at 1900x1200. Now I have updated to a 30" 2560x1600 screen and obviously I see a big impact on the gaming. Should I look to get another...

Need some help on recovering RAID 5 failures

I'm still trying to determine what factored in the failure, since if for some reason the NAS wrote bad data, I would need to replace it. Most of my recovery attempts is just to minimize having to re-rip my CD collection :( Rest of the data was just backups of something I already had on my...

Need some help on recovering RAID 5 failures

You're right, it's a 3TB volume. I meant in the past I was able to move from one Smartstor to another Smartstor and the RAID was recovered. Which is why I think it's just some corrupted data on the drive. Now I don't think it will work, because the NAS doesn't think two of the original...

Need some help on recovering RAID 5 failures

So I have a Smartstor NS4600. Single 4TB volume spanned across 4 1TB drives. I turned on my computer one morning and the NAS is reporting that only two disks for the volume were found. I tried switching drives to see if it was a problem with the slots, but no go. So my question is...

Need help finding a book title

It's not the Starwolves series. Thanks for the links to other search engines/forums. I've used AbeBooks and struck out, so I wasn't interested in signing up for others, but looks like this forum is a bust for getting an answer, so I might just have to.

Need help finding a book title

Interesting, I never got that hit when googling the alien. The series doesn't sound familiar at all, but I'll take a closer look when I have. As for the other suggestions: Isn't Alien Nation a movie? Last I checked, Sherlock Holmes fell far from the sci-fi genre.

Need help finding a book title

I figured... why not. People here are a varied sort of bunch, there's bound to be some sci-fi readers. I read this series about 20 years ago and now I am trying to remember the title. I stumbled upon it at my local library back then, but since I forgot the title, I can't find it anymore...

Still alive: Microsoft Office Professional 2013 - $9.95 through Microsoft HUP.

Yes, you can. I've installed this on multiple machines. If I remember correctly, after the third one, I was unable to activate online and had to dial in. I had just decided to upgrade my hard drive after installing it. The dial-in process was automated. Basically, asked me to confirm...
