What is the minimum amount of system memory to use the GPU client in Windows 7? The reason for the odd question is that I'm using an ESXi 5.5 host (FX8350 8-core, 32GB RAM) with a HD6990 to fold. I have another computer that has been folding, a Core-i3 550 with a GTX260/216. I'm retiring the...

I have been trying to upgrade to the latest 12.11 beta drivers. Each time I try (I have tried both beta4 and beta6) CCC stops working - I can't get it to start at all, in the Task Manager it shows up as a process briefly then disappears. I have to do a system rollback (to 12.10) to get CCC...

Anybody know the fan pinout for a XFX HD-695X-ZNDC? I have one and it is running really hot - I suspect that the fan is dumping air into my case instead of out. I want to reverse the fan direction to dump out all the hot air. I haven't had the problem before because until yesterday the fan on...

I have an asymmetrical 6-monitor setup which I use with my HD6950 Crossfire video cards: The biggest shortcoming with it is that it does not support Eyefinity as the lower row is a 20-30-20 PLP setup. I want to add 6 more monitors (24" 1920x1200) in a 3x2 configuration so I can use Eyefinity...

I BROKE TEN MILLION POINTS!!!!!!!!!! :D

Hrmm, all quiet on the bragging front. I'll get it started for May: BROKE 8 MILLION TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I have been battling an overheat problem with my video cards. I have an ASUS EAH6950 DCII 2GB card which is three slots wide, CrossFire'd with a XFX Radeon HD6950 2GB which is two slots wide. My motherboard is a P5E, and the only way currently to install them is to make them so close together...

I've been itching to upgrade my [email protected], but I've been waiting for Ivy Bridge as it promised to be faster than Sandy Bridge. Latest news suggest it will be only 10% faster than Sandy Bridge except for the GPU which is much improved. I have CrossFire HD6950 2GB so I'm not overly concerned...

I asked this question in 2006 regarding a X300 video card: Can HyperMemory be disabled? The answer back then was "no", and while I'm not holding my breath I need to ask the question again. The reason I'm asking again is due to a problem I was having in Win7 64-bit. I have 2 video cards, a...

Broke the 3 million point mark today!!!!! :D

Anybody know when the DisplayPort 1.2 MST hubs will be out? I had the impression they would be out by now, but I can't find any news about it. Is there some sort of delay?

Has anyone crossfired a Sapphire FLEX HD6950 with a *NON*-Sapphire FLEX card? I currently have an XFX HD6950 2GB, which I had to RMA. The XFX is on the way back (I *ADORE* that double-lifetime warranty!!!), but while I was waiting for it to be replaced I was digging around and found out about...

Hmmm, what happened, everybody getting modest all of a sudden? I guess I'll start then - I IN THE TOP TEN PRODUCERS FOR TEAM 64!!!!!! Finally after 6 years of trying!!!!! Actually I've been that for several days now, but I wanted to make sure the position would stick - I was concerned that...

I've been away from F@H for a while, due to excessive electricity bills and heat in my private workspace (had Crossfire 4870's and an overclocked Q9550) so I haven't been keeping up with developments. I recently upgraded my media server to a Q8400 OC'd to 3.2GHz and a Powercolor 4650 512MB...

A friend of mine has been experiencing problems with his video card. Specifically, it will quite often on one screen have green stripes, the other screen (he runs dual monitors) solid grey, and after a minute or two it will reboot the system. I've heard of the problem before and I told him it...
