  1. I've bought several games from them and haven't had any problems or need to go to support. I wouldn't mind having them as a sponsor but I can't comment on whether support is good or not.
  2. Love the giveaway and think it's awesome to give us an opportunity to try Vessel free Username: popy2308 https://www.vessel.com/videos/LCoY5zfFf https://www.vessel.com/videos/JemZ8O7Hy
  3. There's a lot of problems with it, just messing up little things. For example I can't overclock my cards with chrome running without disabling it. Figured that may be the problem, it doesn't do much anyways
  4. Go into Chrome advanced settings and disable Hardware Acceleration
  5. I haven't had a crash since until tonight, and I'm 99% positive it has something to do with chrome/youtube videos. I'm going to try and figure out how to replicate the problem and test each GPU. If anyone has had this problem or knows what it might be, I'm open for any help.
  6. I'm taking it one by one waiting to see if it crashes after the cord switch. Still hasn't crashed since so we'll see, then I'll try these.
  7. That's the thing, I already it disabled because it was preventing me from ever overclocking my cards. BTW they weren't overclocked when they crashed either.
  8. All three times I did have a youtube video going, the first two times it was a 60 fps video, the third was normal video. I thought it may have been the 60fps, but then it happened with regular video. I do watch quite a few videos so it also could be just coincidental timing.
  9. I've switched them over to a couple HDMI cables now, but I suspect this isn't the problem, since the audio of videos or music stops about 10 seconds after the screens go blank as if the computer freezes.
  10. So for the past couple of days I've had my monitors go black (or some other dark grey/pinkish color) about three times so far. I bought two Gigabyte R9 270x's (here) used and they were previously mined with. I really don't want to go through the hassle of replacing them, so I don't want to jump straight to the conclusion that one or both of them are failing. So that's where I need help. What kind of troubleshooting can I do to narrow down the problem? Specs: i5 3570k Asrock Z77 Extreme4 16GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 2x Gigabyte 270x 750w OCZ Thanks in advanced!
  11. Bump Edit: I went back and tried again, and now everything is working fine. I don't specifically remember restarting or changing any settings, so I'm not sure what was going on. But it worked itself out and I'm able to overclock now.
  12. Hey guys I was playing Far Cry 3 the other day and noticed my frames were dropping below 60 on ultra so I decided to try and overclock my GPUs just to squeeze out any frames possible. I loaded up MSI afterburner and read a few guides on overclocking and looked up some overclocks people were getting on their 270x. I started by putting the Power Limit to +20%, and put the core clock at 1150. No matter what I do, my cards will not go above 1050 MHz. Which I find funny because the boost clock is supposed to be 1100MHz but even under 99% load I never saw them go above 1050MHz. I even tried tweaking the memory clock but that wouldn't budge either. This is my first time overclocking, so is there something in the options I should check or am I just missing something? I also disabled AMD overdrive as I read some people had issues with that, but nothing else on google helped me. Any help is appreciated.

  13. Alright sounds like I'll go with $300. Thanks for all the help and quick responses
