You might try rolling back to 295.73. I hope i'm not speaking too soon but ever since i installed the 295.73 drivers i haven't experienced any TDR. Anyone else? I had roughly 3 TDRs a week on 295.73. Drove me insane. The only driver that's been completely TDR-free for me is 266.xx, which I've since...
I've had my Promedia 2.1s since like 2003. They still work okay, though the volume knob can be flaky at times, so I try not to touch it (I only use software volume controls; thanks to the improved sound model in Vista/7, I can finally adjust volume on a per-application basis). I do have a pair of Se...
so, besides the metro ... any actual change in the OS itself worth talking about? Anand's preview look outlines most of the under-the-hood changes. I personally really like the new task manager and the clean-reset feature. After having played around with the CP in a VM, I can't say that I'm all tha...
You can have my ASUS commando board (S775, DDR2) if you'll pay the shipping. It's been sitting in my old machine for a year, doing nothing. Might as well be useful again for someone.
Yeah, thank you very much Springfield. :roll: Well, we IL residents all know that Springfield is merely Chicago's puppet. What Chicago wants, Chicago gets, usually by getting the dead to vote early and vote often. I wouldn't be surprised if this e-waste thing wasn't originated out of some "gre...
1. NoScript 2. AdBlock 3. FlashBlock 4. Ghostery 5. Remove It Permanently These are a few reasons I prefer FF over Chrome. Similar functionality can be found in Chrome, but not with the level of granularity and control I get in FF. I can go to a site that I trust like TR, and leave everything on; or...
270.61 seemed to have solved my TDR problem, but then, like a bad penny, it came back. Not as frequent as the ones with 275.xx, but still annoying. Since I had to reinstall Windows 7 anyway, I updated to 285.79, which seems to have solved the TDRs. 285.79 is a beta driver, but I have to use it becau...
I am seeing the same error. Odd. I have a unicomp model M clone myself, that got shipped from KY just fine to IL. Don't see any logical reason for RW mechanical keyboards to be labeled as "dangerous terrorist goods" or whatever. http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp342/r00t61/newegg.jpg
Most mainstream computer applications are not going to be much affected by the performance delta between single and dual-channel memory operation. A few percentage points, at best. There are some engineering/science/workstation type tasks that are very sensitive to memory bandwidth, but based on the...
Mac rumors seem to come and go like the wind. Even more so than PC-related rumors. When the 8th-generation MBP (Feb 2011) came out, there were a whole host of rumors that didn't come true: 1. The "liquid metal" design aesthetic 2. reduced weight 3. 8 gb ram standard on 17" 4. hybrid S...
I've reverted back to 270.61 for the time being and the problem seems to have gone away. This might not be ideal but its better than my driver crapping out every ten minutes.
I thought Team Green had better drivers, but "better" seems to be a relative term.
I also get this same error on my GTX 570, usually when using Windows Media Center or Media Player Classic. Though oddly enough it never seems to happen when using VLC. I'm thinking about rolling back to 275.x to see if the problem goes away because it's driving me insane. Like when Professor X gets ...
Instead of "coding to the metal," I'm surprised that the GPU vendors haven't yet come together to create a GPU Instruction Set Architecture. Name it x86-G or whatever. Then they could get out of the business of having to write graphics drivers, and it would be a matter of developing a good...
Nah, the mods do a good job. Whenever I report a post it's usually gone within the hour. Besides, putting a post limit restriction wouldn't stop the spam; the bots would just find other threads to bomb first to achieve the necessary post count. In fact I think I've seen this behavior several times, ...
The NBA regular season stinks - especially those inter-conference games between the Clippers and the Bucs on Wednesday night, where the players look like they couldn't care less whether or not they're on the court. Have 'em play a 20-ish game regular season schedule. The playoffs will still be a mon...
I can't find the source at the moment, but ESPN is by far the most expensive cable channel, costing something like $4 a subscriber - and that's just the price that the cable company pays. Obviously, all other things being equal, an end user will pay more. Cable companies are feeling the pinch - YOY ...
I love Firefox for Adblock and Flashblock (though I disable them on sites that I support, like TR). It also has much more useful cookie handling options than Chrome. But Firefox's memory management has been getting worse even since FF2. On my desktop, I don't care, since I'm running 16 GB. But on my...
Mine's got nearly 50,000 hours on it (just checked the service menu) and it's still going strong. Matte screen, 16:10, scaler, array of inputs, USB hub, card reader, what's not to like? You'd have to pry it out of my cold dead fingers. I've played MW2 and BFBC2 on it and I don't have any input-lag c...
Baseball does have a salary cap. It is much like football's - if the cap is exceeded, there are severe penalties. Both the NBA and the NFL have caps EXACTLY like this. As of right now, only one team has violated that cap: the New York Yankees. Once the cap is violated, there are severe and escalati...
One 30" running at 25x16 can be driven by a single GTX 570 / HD6970 at decent levels of detail and AA. No need to step up to multi-GPU unless you're going to run more than 1 monitor or absolutely insist on maxed details/max AA. Unless you really want to spend that extra $150, a GTX 580 still re...
Thanks for helping me fill the knowledge void guys, really helpful stuff! Is unlocking the turbo multipliers on the i5-2500k a difficult or complex process? I also really like the sound card idea, and have no idea why it slipped my mind. I'll decide between the ASUS and Creative cards. One question...
It appears to be the latest evolution in digital currency. I've already downloaded the client and it's running at the moment. I've read Nakamoto's white paper and it seems pretty interesting on its face. I detest fractional-reserve lending, central banking, and debt-based currencies with a passion, ...
Like, ever, or just recently? TIE Fighter was one of the greatest games I ever played. I still have my MS-DOS floppy disk based version. Runs just great in DOSBox. Mechwarrior II and III rocked super hardcore as well. Sam and Max Hit The Road was hilarious. Still makes me laugh 15 years later. Starc...
