My game will be perfectly fine for about 10-15 seconds, then there is a few seconds where it laggs hard and nothing happens. Then I see all the abilities/movements a few seconds later when it's caught up. Then it's absolutely fine for another 15 seconds until it happens again.
My ping doesn't go above 60 ms during these spikes, and my core/gpu temps don't raise alarm bells either.
I've tried resetting the router, several times.
According to NetWorx, nothing is downloading in the background during these spikes..
I'm thouroughly confused. =/
What can I do to determine the problem?
You might have blown a hard drive motor or something. Try duplicating a really large file and see what happens.

My biggest file, 40GB, is going at about 40 MB/second.
I've got a Seagate Barracuda 500gb 7200 hard drive.
What am I looking for that would indicate a problem with the hard drive?

Fluctuations in the write or read speed. Every 15 seconds.
Defragging actually is prob the best since that tests both.

Speed didn't fluctuate at all, is it worth taking the HDD out and having a look?
|
No it isn't. Because I no longer think its hard drive related. I think you have a network problem. You might also have malware or something. Im not sure. Maybe someone can lend some thoughts?

People still use monitors without DisplayPort or proper implementations of HDMI. Some need the bandwidth dual-link DVI can provide and lack a GPU with DisplayPort. From a PM I got, apparently people still use monitors that only accept VGI and only DVI-I is backwards compatible with VGI.
Its not like PC manufacturers are like Apple and willing to murder dying interfaces in the name of progress. Christ, some GTX560Tis had an actual VGA port.
Edit:
Sapphire has typically been solid as an AMD partner.

Yeah but why two of them? Plus the other two? That's just silly. The other ones dont have two and a full vent >.>
I have plenty of sapphires (5830), I just want to know if this one is good, blocked vent space matters though not as much for fan cards.

You'll be fine. The image quality for the 2 standards is identical. If the monitor has a DVI connector and no HDMI, then you can make full use of the things via DVI.

Ever since getting a new computer with Windows 7 the Internet connection seems to disconnect for 5 seconds every hour or so. (Didn't get a chance to look into it too much, it just happened 3 times yesterday when I was messing around with the new computer).
Even though it is not a laptop I disabled the "windows can shut down this device for power saving" in the NIC device properties but it did not help.
Any ideas or suggestions ?

I dont really care about image quality. Give me the vent space.

Another reason you should really wish EVGA did AMD cards, Mr Mining Medrea.
They sell aftermarket brackets with better airflow. And, of course, they're a huge fan of blowers.

Time to start custom-designing mining 7970s with no monitor connections & more vent-space? Vast un-tapped market, I'm sure. Maybe a single VGA port off to the side.

Hahaha, there are some people who build really cheap waterblocks (like 20 dollars or something) because of bulk deals. I just dont like the blocked top tier vent because of principle at this point.
Let me tell you, when you have a quad GPU sandwich, that blocked vent x4 absolutely kills you in the heat department. I need hash rates. I dont need 4 display port, 4 HDMI, 8 DVI ports. Im not hooking up. Uh... 24 monitors? Is it?
By the way I just realized I quoted someone out of context. Whoops.

Clearly the correct solution is to invest in a dremel, remove the brackets from new cards, dremel out every scrap of excess metal, and de-solder the DVI ports.
I bet if they weren't coming out with those other thingies soon, you might try it, too.
Note to everyone who isn't Medrea: This is advanced, not suggested, and niche as fuck. Ignore it if you're not him.

I like warranties too dammit. What the hell!
Would even EVGA like me ripping the front apart with a dremel!?

Assuming you bought the high flow bracket first, modified the high-flow, and were capable of re-soldering the DVI ports, I doubt they'd bat an eyelash, assuming you weren't dumb enough to tell them you did it.
I assume that would constitute physical damage, but if you did it with the aftermarket part, all you'd have to do is restore it to factory condition before shipping it in. And not mention soldering related antics.

It's next month by the way.
I should still be able to find work for my GPU's though. There is still a lot of work to be done cracking zip file passwords and the like. Temptation to liquidate is strong though.
So far Im lucky I havent woken up with a gun in my mouth.

You can tell where this is going right from the URL.
According to the guy that got raided. The police asked him "So are you the google or something"
"Uh yeah something like that"

I have really low fps recently and wonder if anyone has a idea what to do. so here's my spec, i am running starcraft on medium settings.
Intel q6600 running at 4x2,7ghz
4GB DDR-2 Ram 800 on a asus p5q-pro 775
ATI Radeon HD 6870 with 1 GB ram
Realtek Onboard Sound, Creative x-fi extreme gamer Sound card
Windows 7 home premium 64-bit
Drivers are up to date.
When the game starts i have about 80 fps, dropping to 17-30 in big battles, and i think with my hardware i should be able to run the game with much more fps, i can't even stream the game on low because the fps then instantly drops to ~15.
I think this is related to one of the latest patches because i didn't experience any performance problems before.
Would be very nice if someone could help out,
Nyx
