AMD has finally released the much anticipated Catalyst 13.8 BETA which would finally fix frame pacing and stuttering issues on Radeon graphic cards. Officially planned for launch yesterday, the AMD Catalyst drivers were postponed for a day since AMD had to run some additional testing with the drivers. AMD Catalyst 13.8 BETA 1 Driver can be downloaded from the links provided below: AMD Catalyst 13.8 BETA Desktop Download Link – Windows 7/8 64-bit AMD Catalyst 13.8 BETA Mobility Download Link – Windows 7/8 64-bit Installation instructions for Windows 8.1 users:- Download the latest AMD Catalyst Win 8.1 Release Preview Drivers. - Extract it. - Replace the "Drivers" folder inside "Packages" with the one that comes with 13.8 - Run the setup. Reviews: Guru3D Anandtech PC Perspective Hardware Heaven HardOCP Hot Hardware HardwareCanucks ComputerBase.de (German) PCGamesHardware (German) Guru3D Conclusion Anantech Conclusion PCPER Conclusion "Phase 2 of the driver will come later this month. In Phase 2 CrossFire in Eyefinity resolutions will be supported. There will also be support for DX9 and OGL games in Phase 2. So if you game in Eyefinity, or across multiple displays, or higher resolutions than 2560x1600 then Phase 2 driver is what you will have to wait for. Also, if you want support in DX9 games."

Hi guys, I explicitly remember a thread about how you could download a single Windows update on Windows 8 then install Windows 8.1. The purpose was to skip downloading all the updates twice because Windows 8.1 has all those updates in it already (since it's effectively a service pack), but there's this one update that when downloaded allows Windows 8.1 to show up in the Store page, so you can skip all the others. I don't remember where that thread was or what it was called. I can't find it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Vitalius.

Hi guys! Norwegian tech-head here. I was thinking about building myself a computer, but I don't know what parts make the best bang for the buck in my case! I have been following the LinusTechTips channel for about half-a-year now, and since I need a new computer (the laptop I have is totally ruined) I thought I might build one for myself. Computer parts are very expensive in Norway (about 20-30% more expensive than in the US), and my budget isn't the biggest. IMPORTANT PART STARTS HERE: I want a computer that works fairly good now, but that is easy to upgrade without buying a lot of new parts other than the ones I actually need, that why some of the parts I have chosen might seem a bit overkill compared to other. THIS is the computer I was thinking of building. Can someone help find the right parts for me, without paying to much extra?

I am torn between these three options, 1, 2, or 3. Please help me choose, my main use is gaming and this is my new computer after 5 years, so I'm very excited and nervous about making the right choice. NOTE: I already have decided on the Case, Power Supply and Operating System, so don't ask about those. (The Power supply is 1000W so good enough for any, and the case is a Define R4, which should fit anything) I PREFER IT IF YOU ANSWER LIKE THIS: x (build you think is the best 1, 2 or 3) xxxxxxxxx (Short reason why you think it's the best) THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I have 2 days to make up my mind before ordering the parts. OPTION #1: OPTION #2: OPTION #3:

The world's most accurate clock will keep time for 5 billion years
Guest posted a topic in Tech News
The blue cloud of strontium atoms trapped in lasers that powers the clock. (Credit: The Ye group and Brad Baxley, JILA) An experimental clock has set the records for both accuracy and stability, being able to keep time for longer than the Earth has been in existence. There has never, in the history of clockmaking, been a 100 per cent accurate clock. Even the most exclusive pieces of haute horlogerie lose, at the very least, a few seconds per year. Which puts into perspective a new atomic clock built by JILA, a collaboration between the University of Colorado and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The strontium atomic clock is now the most accurate clock ever made, which will neither lose nor gain a single second for five billion years. To put that in perspective, the Earth is only an estimated 4.5 billion years old — and the previous record holder, NIST's Quantum Logic Clock, was only accurate to 3.7 billion years. Time-lapse composite of the clock to show the lasers. (Credit: The Ye group and Brad Baxley, JILA) The clock's stability — that is, the uniformity of its ticks — is also second to none, matching NIST's ytterbium atomic clock unveiled in August last year. The strontium clock works by trapping strontium atoms in a lattice of laser light. These atoms are bathed in a very stable red laser light at the exact frequency that prompts the switch between energy levels — and it's this switch that forms that clock's ticking. "We already have plans to push the performance even more," said NIST/JILA Fellow and group leader Jun Ye. "So in this sense, even this new Nature paper represents only a 'mid-term' report. You can expect more new breakthroughs in our clocks in the next 5 to 10 years." The strontium clock is the first clock to hold both records since the caesium fountain atomic clocks of the 1990s. The full results of the experiment can be read in a paper titled "An optical lattice clock with accuracy and stability at the 10−18 level", published in the journal Nature.

I am looking into buy a monitor for editing work and gaming. I would like for the monitor to have good color callibration and at least a 60hz refresh rate? I thought the Asus ProArt ips monitor looks like a very good monitor for color quality: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/23-asus-pa238q-professional-proart-led-ips-monitor-1920x1080-6ms-250cd-m-500000001-black But are the colors on other monitors really that bad? And also very importantly is a 6ms a bad response time especially for gaming? Right now I occasionally play tf2 on a TV (using a pc) and i'm not sure what it's response time is but I would probably prefer it if it was a little bit faster. Thanks, Blueprint

Hey Everybody, So I am trying to setup the parental controls on my Uncle's ASUS RT-AC66R router. I have tried the latest firmware, and I believe 3 older versions and none of them seem to break the connection if it is already made. If the certain mac address is being blocked at a specific hour you may not brows the internet, open up an games like LoL or WoW, but if the games are already open from an allowed hour which rolls over into an hour that is denied by parental controls then it will continue to work. Does anyone know what to do? I contacted ASUS Tech Support and they recommended factory resetting it and updating to the latest firmware and rebooting it. Other than that they said contact the RMA services. Can anyone verify if their router will break the connection like I described or is it just mine that's not working correctly? Please let me know if this needs more clarification. Thanks so much for all your help! -Jacob

How long would you recommend running Prime95 for overclocking stress test? I know a lot of people recommend 24 hours, but I would really like to shorten that time. Right now I'm overclocking my i5-3570k (with CM Hyper 212 Evo Cooler) for the first time and I'm starting with 4 ghz. My goal is a stable 4.5 ghz if possible.

Hello everyone! I build my second PC a week ago in the Node 304 and it's the first time using an AIO watercooler, specifically the Corsair H90. I noticed a weird, it's hard to describe honestly, kind of a slight buzzing noise in the pump/radiator/motherboard/fan area, and after some in-depth inspection, it seems to be the radiator thats making this strange noise. At first I thought it was all ok, just one of the downfalls of watercooling, but it has started to bother me lately and I just wanted to be sure if this is normal for an AIO watercooler. So, the obvious question: Is it normal for a radiator on a H90 to make a slight buzzing noise? Just to make sure, it isn't that loud, but it does stand out, even if all the fans are on 12V. I could do a quick recording, but then I would have to actually do something, and I'm lazy. But if this really isn't enough info, I'll make one. All help is very much appreciated!

Good day, as you read in the title, I'm looking to watercool my current rig. I want to watercool the motherboard, the RA- Wait, no. Mostly just wanna watercool my CPU and my GPU. Not expecting insanely beautiful things, but something clean. I'd like either blue tubing or blue fluid, but other than that it's you guys' call. Pull up what you can, please.

Hello everyone, first time poster here! I'll start this off with a confession, and you probably know what's coming because you've read the topic title. I've been a console gamer for the past 6 years. In my late teens I've switched over to Apple computers because I started studying audio engineering, and I'm very happy I did so, because I graduated and now have a project studio running on an iMac. But when I got one, I obviously couldn't afford a good PC gaming rig, so I got reluctantly got myself an Xbox 360 and had a good time over the years. But those times are over. Neither of the new consoles have impressed me, and PC gaming has been acting all Saruman trying to convert me and stuff. And he succeeded! So here we are, time to build a gaming PC from scratch. My experience: I have never ACTUALLY built a PC from scratch, but I have modified them in the past, follow the industry closely, and have the technical know-how and confidence to start building. I've based my current choices mainly on pro + user reviews, product scores, and bang-for-buck recommendations and some personal choices like the Fractal case. My current list: MOBO: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming / Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K FAN: Scythe Mugen 4 PCGH cpu fan RAM: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance LP 1600MHz 2x4GB GPU: AMD Radeon R9 290 non-reference model (TBD in January, probably Sapphire) SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB HDD: Western Digital 1.5TB HDD I've taken out of an old My Book Elite external HDD I don't use CASE: Fractal Design R4 w/ window (includes 2 case fans) PSU: Corsair RM650 modular PSU -> Seasonic M12II 620W modular PSU Samsung whatever DVD drive OS: Windows 8 Now, the parts highlighted in BLUE are parts I'm able to get a 20% discount on, through my job at a consumer electronics store. This basically goes for ANY product from Samsung (SSDs only), Corsair, Western Digital and Sapphire. Updates following LTT awesomeness are in red. 1. Budget & Location I'm from the Netherlands and I use Euros. My current list is worth about € 1100 to 1200 euros, which to the current rates would be about $1500 USD, but prices don't work that way here. The components are more expensive than in the United States. So $1200 to $1300 US dollars is a good target for me. 2. Aim Well as I've told you I use Apple stuff – I know, I know – so I will use my Gaming PC build ONLY for gaming. All my productivity is done elsewhere. What SORT of gaming is a tricky one – it's very diverse. I like casual shooters like CoD and I used to play Battlefield a lot back in the day. I also very much enjoy sim games like SimCity, but on the other hand I'm a big Elder Scrolls fan, so I intend to play a lot of Skyrim with mods. To give you guys something concrete: let's say I want to play Battlefield 4 with everything on ultra at 1080p. I think that gives me enough power to play all easy-on-the-specs and back-catalog games but also the newest games on very high settings for the coming years. I also want to be able to easily upgrade my rig in the future. This will also be the first PC I'm going to overclock the CPU and graphics card. But not too much... 3. Monitors I have one 27" LG IPS277 running a 1920x1080 resolution. I'm not interested in multi-monitor. 4. Peripherals I have everything except a gaming keyboard. But that is excluded from budget. It's all about the rig for now. 5. Why are you upgrading? See intro. Any tips and insight will be very much appreciated guys! Thanks! Jesper

Hi guys, I'm sure you noticed the MASSIVE poll. Well, let me explain that. The first 8 7 of those question, list, thingies, are games I've yet to play but own. The last 2 3 are games I feel I should've played or need to play/finish. Essentially, my plan is to have an entire week off (sans 1 day) and play video games the entire time. Thanks to weekends, that means 11 days of fun, minus 1 (a day I literally have to work) and 1 more for our family christmas. So 9 days in total. The questions are set up by category, which are listed (somewhat), and correspond to the days I will be playing said games. It is all multiple choice/answers because I'm not just going to play 1 game strictly for 12-14 hours. I'm going to start with whatever has the highest votes for that day, play a while, then change to the 2nd highest, and so on. If I somehow get through a days worth of games (the indie games category makes this possible, somehow), I will just pickup something from the last 2 and play that. This isn't me advertising, because I have no plans to stream this or anything. I am just asking the community: Of these choices, with my limited time, what should I play first? What should I prioritize? Feel free to leave comments in the thread on whatever you feel like. NOTE: I intentionally put games of the same or similar characteristics (either in fame, hype, genre, origin, or story) in the same category. I desire diversity. I'm used to playing a single genre (JRPG's) for weeks on end. Diversity is good at times. NOTE 2: I put it as "multi-vote" because I want you to basically vote for what you think I would be able to adequately play in that day and still get a feel for the game. Like, play it enough to say "Yeah, I love this game. I'll definitely finish it." or "... Nope. Next." So don't just vote everything. Vote what you think you'd be able to play in a days time and still enjoy. Thanks, Vitalius. P.S. Considering 90% of that is going to be on my PC (emulators for the super old stuff), it goes in the PC gaming section imo. Mods, feel free to move it if you wish, but I don't know where else it would go.

when will ssd's become affordable?

every 30 mins my clock will reset to some random time with a few hours or even a few days so i have tried synchronizing with the internet time as well as manually putting the correct time in but yet again the time will change within 30 min? Brand new motherboard so i know my battery isn't bad?

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, but I think it's very helpful so far. I'm going to college and I have around $2000 to spend on a gaming rig. I'd love it if you guys could help me out on what I should build. Also, I'd like to play on really high settings if that helps. My favorite games are: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Just Cause 2, Age of Mythology, Age of Empires III, GTA IV & V, Star Wars Battlefront I & II, Borderlands II, Saints Row The Third, Minecraft, and Bioshock Infinite. I'd love to play other new games, it's just that my laptop is shit at playing games. I'd also love it if the rig is powerful enough to both edit photos in Photoshop and edit videos. Thanks in advance!

My desktop PC keeps changing the system time back by 7 hours, so at noon it will show 5am. I have to synchronize the time constantly because it doesn't just happen when I restart the computer, it randomly happens when I'm using the computer. I used to dual-boot (only running Windows currently) and have done the RealTimeIsUniversal fix in regedit, but that doesn't work (with either a 0 or 1 value). The BIOS time also remains correct, no matter what happens, making me think it's not a CMOS battery issue. I'm running on Windows 8, but I recently upgraded from 7 and it has been doing this same thing in both versions. Help would be much appreciated!

Around what day does the Summer Sale usually start? And what were the prices of some games at that time? Would be nice if you could say the original price and the sale price. Thanks.
