So, it's shaping up to be an interesting day. President Obama essentially called out the EU. If you didn't know, the past few years have been a slurry of different regulations from the European Union towards American-based companies. And obviously, he's had enough.
 
"Barack Obama has angered officials in Europe after suggesting that investigations by the European Union into companies like Google and Facebook were "commercially driven." In an interview with Recode, the president claimed that European "service providers who … can’t compete with ours, are essentially trying to set up some roadblocks for our companies to operate effectively there." The truth, however, is more nuanced than this.
Obama says: "We have owned the internet. Our companies have created it, expanded it, perfected it in ways that they can’t compete. And oftentimes what is portrayed as high-minded positions on issues sometimes is just designed to carve out some of their commercial interests."
 
Maybe it's me... but being petty about this kind of thing is really not worthwhile when so much bad is going on in the world. The internet is not a country's doing, Mr. Obama. It's the world's doing. It's not for one country to "rule", it's not for one man to oversee. It's the overwhelming sea of knowledge just waiting to be grasped. If you can't grab on without claiming we own(ed) it, then you surely have more to learn. On lynda.com/linus perhaps?
 
The same is true for the EU, so don't think I'm hounding just one. Everyone needs to realize that the internet is bigger than one person... even Potus.

Don't dis Flula, he's such a great guy. 

What are your temps? for CPU and GPU.
 
Also, try installing newer drivers, or going back to an older driver to see if it still happens. If it is driver related, just reinstalling MIGHT help, but it might also not because if it is a bug in the driver installing it again wont help.

Get BitFenix ones, or make your own. Otherwise they can get really expensive. You'll need a 24-pin, 8-pin EPS, and I think you video card needs 2 6-pins, might be wrong. Can't see a pic of it.

AMD's message to Nvidia:

LOL get rekt nasty pasty robbers. Can't make a quick buck.
 
But seriously google, implement something like this.

It's not really that you want to hide anything, its more about the fact they document everything you do, sell it to a third party and inject adds. As well, as essentially making an Autobiography of you and everything you ever say. Nothing you say is deleted, and it is a massive horde of data.
 
I am against the NSA hoarding data, and anyone else for that matter, even if it is a seemingly "harmless" private company.
 
I am not doing anything that I could care less if other people knew, but I do care if people know without my permission, my every move and my every statement.

Bro, that CPU is still a beast, its not holding anything back.
 
That thing performs at around 75-80% of the current equivalent.
 
OP:
You shouldn't upgrade anything at the moment, the 8320 isn't bottlenecking.
 
I would suggest however, getting at least a half decent cooler, and overclocking it.
 
Check out some guides online about overclocking with that motherboard and CPU.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're jumping on the VR bandwagon. 

And no one buys a samsung TV ever again. There is a reason why TV views are falling maybe it's because people are buying stupid packages with 100's of channels they don't watch and a 5min break of ads every 10 minutes. 

Thank GOD.
 
Evolve is  dlc quest monster edition.
 

If you can't hear anything it's fine.
 
I don't have my quad 120mm rad in any way attached to the bottom of my TJ07 and there is no movement or vibrations. A rad with fluid in it is fairly heavy and low rpm fans probably won't be a problem in any way.

This is not a "money no object" product. This is a "more money than sense" product.
 
Too bad the Pono player doesn't have an ethernet port.

Why no one cares about dark theme users? 

Honestly, after using this feature for about 2 minutes, I can confidently say that I hate it, and wish for it to go away immediately.
 
It just seems like a cop out way for the content producers to release their product. Take a few camera angles, and off you go. No need to editing the angles together in a nice way, nope, the user will do that for them.
 
And that is ignoring the fact that you have to pre-empt when you actually want to change angles because if you just click it, the audio stutters a lot (but that is something they could fix.)

Probably not.
 
The best way to set up a dedicated minecraft sever would be to find an old PC, with maybe a core 2 duo or even possibly something worse, make sure it has about 4 gig of ram, and then install linux, and go to town.

1. Get rid of norton and get a real antivirus program such as Avast.
2. Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and run a scan.

^^
 
And McAfee isn't a real anti virus.
 

You want more than 2 GB Vram. Go 290X or 290 at the minimum... CF 290x is recommended. 
 
Assuming you want to play games like BF4 that are graphically demanding, of course.

It is fine.
 
The area around the screw hole is designed to take a bit more of a beating than the rest of the board.
 
Just don't over tighten the screw, make sure it is fastened nicely without being so tight that you struggle to undo it.

All the SATA (1, 2, and 3, not express) cables have the same connectors.

It's been a long time since I've done anything related to stuff like this.
I would like to start by saying, I'm not in any way an NVIDIA fanboy. Despite the hat the cat is wearing in my avatar (It's a joke because of this NVIDIA stuff)
The reason I bought a 970 was price/performance, and the fact that I am turned on sexually by nvidia reference coolers. (I spent an extra 50$ to get a reference one, a bit rare.)
 
 
Some background on why I'm starting to look at Nai's tool funny

-Other cards like the TITAN show a dip in speed towards the end
-The results I got were not really consistent with other testing I did
-He made this in visual studio 2010 for some reason. Not anything wrong with it, I just have a hatred for it that's really not justified.
-This test measures the VRAM appropriately in  Mebibytes, which is correct if you accept the decimal system made by IEC and pushed by IEEE. However, the transfer speed is measured in Gigabytes/Second instead of Gibibytes/Second. This is fine given you acknogledge the difference, but I don't know exactly how this measurement is made until I look at the source. What worries me is this was made with Visual 2010, a MS tool. MS does not accept the new decimal system pushed by IEEE, and a Gigabyte on Windows is a Gibibyte in the new system. This is why your hard disks show up smaller in windows, and is the source of many lawsuits around 2005. I don't work with visual, but given they used some sort of windows based function to measure this, it would be wrong in this context. I don't know until I look at it, and if so this is easily corrected. 
-I would like to make an AMD benchmark
-I would like to either confirm on deny this once and for all.
 
And finally, the big one
-The numbers I got changed based on how much PCIe bandwidth the card had.
I used a single channel memory configuration to test this initially. Both of these test are done as Nai had intended with the screen being connected to the iGPU instead of the 970.
This is the reason I really want to mess with this. This should NOT happen. 

 
 
When I originally discovered this issue, when I bought the card in December, I noticed through tests in UE3 that around 3.2GiB the performance tanked, but I realism now my methods for testing this were lax, and I made some mistakes regarding the testing. I just basically put a stupid amount of the same extremely high resolution texture on screen over time (the textures all treated as separate textures even though they were a copy/paste) to give me an idea of how much I had to work with. I did it for fun honestly, I hadn't gotten a new GPU for myself in a personal gaming system since a 1GB one I had and my other 2GB ones. The other thing is I noticed my troubles were not around 3500MiB, but closer to 3200. I had 5 screens connected, 4 on the 970. 
I didn't realize how much memory windows seemed to take for this, as I had the same setup on a 1GB card in the past and it didn't use much. 
After some research into WDDM and NVIDIA drivers, I found some interesting things that may explain of some of the in game benchmarks. 
 
So I believed this until I saw some other benchmarks people did in games. Some people made asinine arguments against this, but some people had some points. 
 
So what will I be doing? 
I will do a bunch of practical benchmarks as well as look at the source fro NAIs benchmark, and write my own benchmark. As a lot of you know, I have promised to do some tutorials that have not seen the light of day yet. I am very, very busy and life has been rough. But I promise this will be priority one for me. I intend to correct this benchmark if it is wrong, or make a new one if necessary. I would like to make an AMD version as well. 
 
I will either come back confirming the NVIDIA issue, which I am leaning toward, or come back disproving it. 
Wish me luck, and if anyone else thinks they could contribute, please go take a look at the source code Nai posted.
 
Also, I wasn't comfortable with posting this in the News section until someone else confirm this. Do whatever you feel is appropriate mods. 

Has the card worked in other monitors since plugging into the 4K monitor?

This guy makes good points.
 
 
Consistently.
