How to: Format / Initialize a HDD larger then 2TB.
 
This tutorial will show you how to Initialize and format a brand new HDD larger then 2TB
 

 
If you have just installed the drive it will not show up on your computer yet.
This is because the drive needs to be initialized and formatted first.
 

If your HDD is already showing up as a 2TB drive then please use this tutorial Instead:
http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/94620-how-to-fix-3tb-hdd-showing-up-as-a-2tb-hdd/

 
 
Step 1:
type "diskmgmt.msc" in the windows search bar and open the program, preferably by right-clicking and selecting "Run as administrator".
 

 
 
Step 2:
Once you opened the Disk Management it should immediately show you the "Initialize Disk" popup window.
It is very important that you select "GPT (GUID Partition Table)".
Press ok
 

 
 
Step 3:
Now that the drive is initialized we need to format the drive.
Right click on the drive and select "New Simple Volume..."

 
 
Step 4:
Press next.
 

 
 
Step 5:
You can now set the partition size, this is set the the maximum size by default.
Press next.
 

 
 
Step 6:
Use the drop-down menu If you want to change the drive letter.
Press next
 

 
 
Step 7:
Next up you can fill in the drive name (Volume label)
Press next.
 

 
 
Step 8:
Press finish.
 

 
 
Victory:
Your drive is now formatted and you can use the whole drive instead of just the 2TB.

It's a well known fact that nVidia strong-arms developers. This kind of thing has been going on for years now.
This is a little different however. It's much more nefarious it's as if nvidia is offering developers a deal with the devil in the sense that it seams wonderful on the surface.
Awesome visuals with no development effort what so ever but suddenly all of your graphics code is under the mercy of nVidia, you can't see it you can't change it and once it's in you will have to spend a lot of time if you want to replace it.

true gamer = playing games 24/7 :D

Amazon cuz it ships WORLDWİDE which is just AMAZİNG!

pics?:(

I had no idea I was missing such a wonderful thing, it's just so satisfying to type now.

A big thanks LTT forum for the information that brought me to this purchase.

Not safely removing a USB drive. Nightmare stuff.

monitor and gpu is already perfect (personally)

JUST WOW! 3930k COMBOD WİTH 650... nice deal

Lol :D

Cod is awesome, because it takes screaming noobs out of other games.

I can't get Newegg in the UK :(

Amazon cuz it ships WORLDWİDE which is just AMAZİNG!

EXPENSİVE!

İT DOES ANNOY ME! poeple ask for other things but there is people spamin wait for 9000 series just answer the question and be done with it goddamit

it's actually getting annoying seeing people put up "wait for 9000 series" i see you are looking for a 780 and i will answer the queation your are asking with the aproite answer and NOT "wait for a 9000 series" 
 
anyway the reference ones are pretty cool although they are not clocked at crazy speeds there pretty good if you want something a bit different, MSI have i 780 with a super nice cooler on it and asus has a Direct CU II version that's actually really nice and Gigabyte have a totally BOSS windforce cooler version (it's a little bit more expensive though)
 
and there is no 780 that cant run the list of games you have there
hope i helped

Volcanic islands better be good or AMD has dug a hole they need to get out of asap. Seems a bit early for maxwell though.

GeForce 800 series “Maxwell” in Q1 2014
NVIDIA will launch next series sooner than expected. NVIDIA will release Maxwell series in early 2014. It is expected that GeForce 800 series will arrive in the first quarter of 2014, somewhere between February and March. What it basically means is that the chances for 20nm process are low. Of course NVIDIA could already have first 20nm samples sooner than that, but TSMC will not be ready for mass production till June 2014.
Maxwell GPUs will not be made in 20nm fabrication process, but if they are expect huge graphics cards shortage and more paper-launches.

NVIDIA GeForce Kepler Lineup To Be Expanded in 2H 2013 Videocardz.com have some exclusive details regarding NVIDIA’s plans to expand their GeForce Kepler lineup going in 2H of 2013. For some time it was known that NVIDIA won’t release any new graphics card after the launch of their GeForce GTX 760 graphics card but turns out to be NVIDIA was just preparing for something better. While there’s limited information regarding what new GeForce Kepler cards would be introduced but this could be NVIDIA’s response to the upcoming Hawaii GPU from AMD. According to Videocardz, the upcoming GeForce Kepler based graphic cards would be based on the GK104, GK106 and GK208 architectures which probably mean more entry to mid-range cards. These are probably going to turn up as the GeForce GTX 750Ti, GTX 750, and the various other boost cards we got to see with the GeForce Kepler 600 series lineup.But NVIDIA possibly has a well kept secret which they may be aiming to launch after AMD unleashes the Hawaii GPU. The card itself could be the final GPU of the GeForce Kepler lineup and one that ends up as the most fastest of all. A new High-End model based on the GK110 core seems to be in plans by NVIDIA which could be used as a deterrent against AMD’s Hawaii GPU which is supposedly a “Titan Killer”. This new card could be a single chip ultimate GK110 chip featuring the fully enabled 15 SMX GeForce Kepler core and a 12 GB GDDR5 memory as featured on the Quadro K6000 which is currently the worlds fastest professional graphics card. Or it could be a dual graphics solution called “GeForce GTX 790″ based on two weaker GK110 cores but with a handsome amount of power over the GeForce GTX 690. At the end what NVIDIA plans to choose would almost certainly be unveiled in Fall 2013 provided that the report is true. GeForce GTX 790 or TITAN Ultra in few months?However this is not all. NVIDIA is also working on a new high-end model. At this point I don’t know if this is the so-called TITAN ULTRA with fully enabled GK110 GPU or, more likely, GeForce GTX 790 with two GK110s. Assuming that the full GK110 processor is somewhat dedicated to the professional segment, and NVIDIA made dual-gpu cards a standard, I think that it is GTX 790. You are probably wondering how much would it cost. I’m more than sure that $1000 range won’t be exceeded. This card is made as a response to AMD Hawaii cards which will arrive in two months. Then NVIDIA will most likely (slightly) lower their prices on GK110 graphics cards.
Nvidia's Maxwell GPU architecture will access system RAMNvidia said at its GPU Technology Conference (GTC) today that its upcoming Maxwell GPU architecture will be able to access main memory.
Nvidia's GPUs have traditionally been limited to only being able to access memory on the card, though Kepler can access other GPUs through the firm's GPU Direct technology. However the firm's next generation Maxwell GPU architecture will allow the GPU to access main memory, reminiscent of AMD's unified memory architecture.
Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said Maxwell, which will replace the present Kepler architecture, will be the firm's first GPU architecture that is able to access main memory.
Although Nvidia's Kepler architecture can address terabytes of memory, the cost and memory density limitations of GDDR have meant that its Tesla boards are limited to 8GB of memory. While the firm's GPU Direct allows Kepler based Tesla boards to access memory on other Kepler boards, its bandwidth is limited by the network connection, which typically tops out at 40Gbit/s, while DDR3-1600 bandwidth is 12.8GB/s - or about 100Gbit/s - and avoids the network latency.
AMD has been pushing the ability of GPUs to address system memory as part of its unified memory addressing technology that will be a key part of its Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA). The firm is expected to produce its first HSA enabled APU later this year and the technology has been incorporated in the APU that Sony uses for the Playstation 4.
NVIDIA GeForce and Ubisoft Form Alliance For Next Generation AAA Titles Like AMD who would offer exclusive optimization for EA titles including the blockbuster Battlefield 4, NVIDIA would offer exclusive features, bundles and optimizations for their NVIDIA GeForce graphics card with latest titles from Ubisoft offering more realism and immersive experiences to PC gamers. Features like smooth and fluid animations, soft shadows, HBAO+ (horizon-based ambient occlusion) and advanced DX11 tessellation would be implemented in the upcoming titles from Ubisoft offering the best possible gameplay experience on the PC as a platform. “PC gaming is stronger than ever and Ubisoft understands that PC gamers demand a truly elite experience — the best resolutions, the smoothest frame rates and the latest gaming breakthroughs,” said Tony Tamasi, senior vice president of Content and Technology at NVIDIA. “We’ve worked closely with Ubisoft’s incredibly talented creative team throughout the development process to incorporate our technologies and deliver the most immersive and visually spectacular game worlds imaginable.” NVIDIA   Because of this, i wont buy 9970, now i am waiting for 880 I think that nvidia is going to release something at 5 November, because that was day when James Clerk Maxwell died.

EA, did finally something good, so i am not dissappointed at all.

I am having nerd freak out!
Hopefully we can fly that 747!
(that must be 128 player multiplayer or higher)!

I would get a 6300 and a 7950/7970

And a Haf X isn't?
