The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]



  Evo 5 RS
LOL! Nutter. I can think of so many things I'd rather spend the money on that'd be more worthwhile. Like crack cocaine.

Addicted, I take it that's Crossfire? I've never seen how it's plugged in, so messy and untidy compared to SLI.

I've not actually bought it yet TBF lol.

If you look it's using connector cables to the mobo.

Also if you've got a crossfire enabled mobo you don't need Bridge connectors iirc.

Correct, you don't need the bridge, although on the higher end cards they make up for latency lost through the bus so you should use them really.
 
I haven't swapped over my MB for a while as It's the only one that has kept working for over 6 months! all my previous ones have had 2+ PCI-E slots,
So when I swap over my MB for a upgrade (want 2 gpu's again) so do I have to re-install everything again or If I stick with ASUS MB's does it just pick everything up from previous?
Been out of the computer building scene for over a year now so alot has changed lol

I do a reformat and reinstall when changing a mere sound card or gfx card. Without question, I'd be doing that with a new motherboard - even if it was the same board, with a new revision! :)

Ah right! Still amazing non the less lol

Im getting a system upgrade in the new few months, not sure whether to upgrade to 2 6950's 2GB (upgradable bios to 6970) this would be cheaper as I already have one 6950,
Or
Get a new card like a GTX 680 or a Radeon 79** series

Just sold my rig to go towards my belts and other things :(. Did have Asus Maximus Gene V, i5 3570k, MSI GTX 680, 16gb G.Skill Ripjaws X, Silverstone Temjin TJ08-E, Corsair AX 750 psu, Samsung 830 64gb SSD, Crucial M4 128gb SSD, 23" 120hz screen.

Never got used properly tbh, so my 5 year old lappy will do for now, but its soooo slow!

Anyone wanna buy a steam account :p ?
