Is the VG248QE still worth the money if you run AMD video cards? (therefore not getting the lightboost/nvidia benefits)

I run two 7870's in Crossfire, so I'm trying to decide between the VG248QE...

lol.. can't do it! I promised the wife that I'd keep the entire rig under $1500. I'm at roughly $1225 without the monitor, so the 144Hz Asus is within my total budget; but, unfortunately, the...

OK, cool, thank you!

Only one question left: Is it worth giving up the cheap IPS panel and paying $100 more for the ASUS VG248QE 24" Screen 144Hz LED with a TN panel?

That was the other one I was looking at! I suspected that the older 8H-P 24" model might not have the eIPS panel, but the darn item descriptions don't say what panel it has.

Do you think the...

Hey guys, just a quick request for opinions since I've been out of the game for a while. What's the best deal going right now for a 24" monitor (LED or cheap IPS) under $200 that I will use almost...

Did you happen to do any network benchmarks of any sort? Know of any?

Or is it another one of those "features" that doesnt really translate to any real benefits?! lol..

Quick question: Do any/all of the newer Asus mobos allow you to "team" (combine) your two gigabit LAN ports into one?

I saw the functionality on the DFI P35 UT, but I havent read about it...

Thank you! please check your PM!

Does it also pass audio over SATA?

I've never had a SATA DVD, but my next rig will have it, so it would be good to know!

3 quick questions:

1) Can you run the Maximus Formula SE with simple air-cooling, or is water mandatory? If using only air, do you need to mod anything?

2) Is the standard Maximus Formula (not...

EDIT: nvm, i found the new C2D thread...

umm... anyone have a tissue?

:gamer:

they're... just... so.... pretty!

keep going higher Andre! it's a moral imperative!

have they given any thought to giving us the world's first accurate CPU temperature sensor?! probably not...lol...

so the general consensus is that most people do this simply because they saw someone else doing it.. and that there isn't really any decent reason for doing so for chips which are not under NDA?
...

ahhh, that would make sense! after all, we're the evil cpu abuser dudes... gotya!

what is the purpose of blocking out the last line of info on the IHS in pictures of random cpu's? I see this all the damn time, but i've never understood the purpose of hiding that info...

Can...

ya, a new bios for the Expert would be great... but im not holding my breath!

he means the memory divider... 1:1 is the standard FSB=MemFreq setting.

as in, for 2700mhz, his memory and FSB/HTT both run @ 270mhz. His problem is that his OCZ memory wont allow for a 1T...

see, that's what i get for skimming forums like a madman.. sorry about that. i didnt mean any offense!

but ya, it's been proven that the CBID offsets are totally and completely useless for Expert...

FYI: the temperature offsets reported by CBID are completely wrong and baseless. there is currently NO software or bios solution that will report accurate cpu temperatures or offsets for the Expert...

the only changes I have heard were effects on DDS/DDDS settings... other than that, no benefit has been proven for doing this. I have been considering giving it a try meerly for the experience of...

damnit, i want to know what secret he's talking about! Stepping secrets...hmmm... give us a hint damnit!

Just an FYI: CBI offsets are completely useless in determining your actual temperatures... My CBI offset reads -8C when my chip actually reads 16C low! (which would mean CBI should say -16C instead)...

damn... just one more standard PCI slot, and I might have ditched my DFI for the manta if the OC potential turns out to kick arse...

But with no room for my 3rd video card, it's useless to me! ...
