  • Help needed with my new GTX 770 4GB OC card settings

    Hello everyone,
    I'm new to this forum so excuse me if this subject already been bought up,
    i have recently got the msi twin frozr gtx 770 4gb oc edition,and I'm not happy at all , as the box did not come with a manual on how to get the oc mode active etc,
    the software cd that came with it has a gaming app + msi afterburner so i have installed everything, and i open the gaming app, it gives me a silent mode + gameing mode + oc mode, so i click oc mode for example and all it gives me is 1254MHz  so i run afterburner i see that my temps reaches 50c + and i try to control the fan speed of my card but the gaming mode doesn't allow it to adjust to 100 % fan speed , anyway enough said let me go to the main part, i have got the kombustor running and done some tests, i found out that i have been getting low fps with the 1254MHz and my voltage clock is 1.2v ... i used to have a gtx560ti and the gtx770 fps is the same as my old card    this is jokes , now i wished i didn't even buy the gtx770 its expensive for nothing,
    and the thing that makes me  is that msi didn't put any info manual in the box apart of how to install your graphics on the motherboard,
    by the way my PC specs are:
    I7 4770K @ 4ghz
    16gb corsair ram @ 1600
    TX850 corsair power supply
    i have the latest graphics drivers installed , got it from nvidia website (327.23) for the gtx770
    by the way the kombuster score i was getting was 190 fps
    with physx on, and no anti aliasing,
    here's my picture of the clocks I'm getting currently
    could anyone out there that have the same card is mine confirm that my card is normal ?
    or is there something i need to download or get to make my fps stable as it should be for this card ?
    oh and i forgot to tell you that my friend has also recently got this card and is also stuck,
    hes got lower mhz than mine and lower voltages like 1.8v or something 
      I'm sure that theres something that we haven't done to get the best out of this graphics card
    its one of the best graphics card out there,
    anyway enough of writing up an essay    waiting for someone to help me out
    many thanks in advance
    Regards

    the memory clock is right as its GDDR (Graphics Double Data Rate) so it has to be doubled making it 3506 x 2 (3506+3506) total of 7012Mhz (advertised GDDR5 7010MHz Memory)
    as for you low FPS its more then likely a driver problem as nearly all GTX 770's are having issues and reporting low FPS you could try other drivers from Nvidia's like the lower ones or the newer Beta Driver 331.40 and see if it makes any difference!

    Have you tryed Google ? really.. your question is inrelevant. No need to reply indeed.
    Why do you come here asking this question anyway ? is it becouse you have a MSI gfx card ? and the adapter has nothing to do with this ?
    You think you can come in here yelling.. thinking we have to put up with it and accept your style of posting. This is not a MSI tech center.. it's a user to user center.. Your question has nothing to do with MSI relavant things anyway's.

  • Disappointed with the new iMac 2011

    I bought a new iMac 21.5 inch 2011 model replacing my plastic iMac. When I first bought it, I was very excited because it got all the top reviews.
    Then, my first iMac had 2 dead pixels on the top of the screen, it was very annoying so I got an exchange. The second one have no screen issues, but it has very annoying buzzing sound from the top of the back panel. Then I get the third exchange, and this one still has the annoying buzzing sound from the bottom part of the panel, and a notable dust particles trapped inside the screen encasing. I went to the apple store several times, they are saying they won't do any more exchange, and the buzzing sound is not noticable and it is the part of the nature of iMac.
    I am very disappointed with this iMac model, I am wondering if any other users have similar experience with the new iMac.
    Thanks for forum administrator keeping this post.

    I am like many users who wanted a machine for media development, wow, the Mac has a reputation for being good at that. However, I'm one who has had problems. I have never actually hated a machine before now. I am unable to multi-task, I have no software available for development except for the xcode IDE which changes weekly, rendering all highly expensive books and classes obsolete and useless within a week of purchase.
    Also, if you want to multi-task, I'm unable to load multiple tabs or browser windows without this machine halting to a crawl. I've spent at least a total of 20 hours on the phone with idiots who barely speak english to help me out. I've spent at least three full Saturdays at the so-called genius bar in town. I cannot load more than one application at a time and get decent performance. OMG, apple has set me back decades.
    Many will say this is probably due to my ISP. NO. I have my trusty HP machine here and I can actually boot it up and load the browser (IE) in the time it takes for an already booted iMac with Safari with a linked clicked before. So the ISP is great. It's the iMac that *****.
    One good thing that has come from this peice of sht though. It is a true test of my restraint and tolerance for crap.
    I am actually now willing to give up apple development altogether because of the poor performance and lack of decent software for the same.
    I am now able to say good riddence APPLE! This is NOT the direction I am headed.
    That is all I have to say.

  • Yes... There are issues with the new iMac, early adopters baby!

    Hi, I am a new iMac owner.
    Being a network engineer and having worked for the "devil" himself, let me tell you... I would rather be dealing with the tiny glitches with the new iMac than owning a Dell, Toshiba, HP but most importantly running Vista!
    This is a new machine with new HW and drivers. I enjoy trying the latest and the greatest. I realize there will be hurdles to overcome with any new product, but come one people! Let's stop whining, and help everyone out here. We are all here to provide constructive feedback to Apple while helping everyone out.
    Yes there Display issues.
    Yes there are Keyboard issues.
    Yes there are WoW issue and UT as well.
    Target disk issues.. Yes
    Lock ups.. sure!
    My suggestion... If you think you are better off with a PC and Vista, well go to it mate!
    Sorry for the ramble, but I just got tired of all the whiners thinking that buying an iMac was their solution to never having issues by leaving the PC world, or should I say MSWorld... LOL

    I think few, if any people claimed they were going to ditch their new iMac for a PC. I like Macs, but I don't love them like I used to.
    Half the reason people buy them, is because they think they can rely on Macs more. They are supposed to be stable, fuss free and easy to use. And they still are for the most part.
    But these new iMacs make a complete mockery of that because they don't represent very well what Apple stands for. "If" I bought a PC I would honestly expect some problems here & there. Its just part and parcel of the PC package. And although I don't expect Macs to be 100% perfect 100% of the time, I certainly expect better than this diabolical shambles that is the new iMac.
    Just as an example.. My 4 year old G4 powerbook.. Not 100% problem free, granted. But mighty close. However, it has not crashed once the entire time I have had it. My new iMac however, crashed 4 times yesterday alone, and it didn't even get used as much as my old powerbook.
    Maybe now you get the picture a little better?
    Just my 2 kernel panics worth...

  • Help needed with java

    Hello everyone
    I'm a Student and new to java and I have been given a question which I have to go through. I have come across a problem with one of the questions and am stuck, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
    here is my code so far:
    A Class that maintains Information about a book
    This might form part of a larger application such
    as a library system, for example.
    @author (your name)
    *@version (a version number or a date)*
    public class Book
    // instance variables or fields
    private String author;
    private String title;
    Set the author and title when the book object is constructed
    public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle)
    author = bookAuthor;
    title = bookTitle;
    Return The name of the author.
    public String getAuthor()
    return author;
    Return The name of the title.
    public String getTitle()
    return title;
    and below are the questions that I need to complete. they just want me to add codes to my current one, but the problem is I don't know where to put them and how I should word them, if that makes sense.
    Add a further instance variable/field pages to the Book class to store the number of pages in the book.
    This should be of type int and should be set to 0 in the Constructor.
    Add a second Constructor with signature
    public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle, int noPages) so it has a third parameter passed to it as well as the author and title;
    this parameter is used - obviously?? - to initialise the number of pages.
    Note: This is easiest done by making a copy of the existing Constructor and adding the parameter.
    Add a getPages() accessor method that returns the number of pages in the book.
    Add a method printDetails() to your Book class. This should print out the Author title and number of pages to the Terminal Window. It is your choice as to how the data is formatted, perhaps all on one line, perhaps on three, and with or without explanatory text. For instance you could print out in the format:
    Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:226
    Add a further instance variable/field refNumber() to your Book class. This stores the Library's reference number. It should be of type String and be initialised to the empty String "" in the constructor, as its initial value is not passed in as a parameter. Instead a public mutator method with the signature:
    public void setRefNumber(String ref) should be created. The body of this method should assign the value of the method parameter ref to the refNumber.
    Add a corresponding getRefNumber() accessor method to your class so you can check that the mutator works correctly
    Modify your printDetails() method to include printing the reference number of the book.
    However the method should print the reference number only if it has been set - that is the refNumber has a non-zero length.
    If it has not been set, print "ZZZ" instead.
    Hint Use a conditional statement whose test calls the length() method of the refNumber String and gives a result like:
    Title: Jane Eyre, Author: Charlotte Bronte, Pages:226, RefNo: CB479 or, if the reference number is not set:
    Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:347, RefNo: ZZZ
    Modify your setRefNumber() method so that it sets the refNumber field only if the parameter is a string of at least three characters. If it is less than three, then print an error message (which must contain the word error) and leave the field unchanged
    Add a further integer variable/field borrowed to the Book class, to keep a count of the number of times a book has been borrowed. It should (obviously??) be set to 0 in the constructor.
    Add a mutator method borrow() to the class. This should increment (add 1 to) the value of borrowed each time it is called.
    Include an accessor method getBorrowed() that returns the value of borrowed
    Modify Print Details so that it includes the value of the borrowed field along with some explanatory text
    PS. sorry it looks so messey

    1. In the future, please use a more meaningful subject. "Help needed with java" contains no information. The very fact that you're posting here tells us you need help with Java. The point of the subject is to give the forum an idea of what kind of problem you're having, so that individuals can decide if they're interested and qualified to help.
    2. You need to ask a specific question. If you have no idea where to start, then start here: [http://home.earthlink.net/~patricia_shanahan/beginner.html]
    3. When you post code, use code tags. Copy the code from the original source in your editor (NOT from an earlier post here, where it will already have lost all formatting), paste it in here, highlight it, and click the CODE button.

  • Help needed with Report Design

    Hi All,
    Here is the requirement.
    Period Type(holds 2 values) : Payment and Vested.
    we have field 'Total Days' which is calculated based on "User Selected" Period Type.
    For example, When Period Type is Payment,
    If start date is less than or equal to grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Grant Date)+1
    If start date is greater than grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Mobility Start Date)+1 (similarly 2 more if conditions) ...we have similar calculation for Period Type - 'Vested'.
    This Period Type is a multiselect Prompt. How can this be achievable.
    Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Will AppleWorks work with my new iMac?

    Hi,
    I just purchased a new iMac / 24", 2.8 GHz, CD2, and I was just wondering if my old AppleWorks disc 6.2.9. will work with the new iMac. I am currently running 10.5.6.
    Or should I use the new iWork instead?
    Any information anyone could provide would be most helpful.
    John

    Hi John,
    AppleWorks will run well on your new iMac.
    Whether you should switch completely to iWork depends on what parts of AppleWorks you use.
    iWork's biggest deficiency (as noted in Yvan's signature line) is the lack of a database application. If you use AppleWorks's database module, there is nothing in iWork that will replaces it (although iWork '09 does have some list management and merge capabilities). You may also find some difficulty transfering Paint and Draw documents.
    Other than that, the change should be pretty easy. iWork applications will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing (Pages), Spreadsheet (Numbers) and Presentation (Keynote) documents. They will not open AW Draw, Paint or Database documents. Nor will they open any AW documents made with AW 5 or any version of ClarisWorks.
    Best route:
    -Install AW 6.2.9 on the iMac using the installer disk or by moving the whole AppleWorks 6 folder from one machine to the other. Remember to remove AW from the old machine to stay within the single user terms of your AW licence.
    -Download and install the 30 day trial of iWork '09.
    -Spend some time over the next 30 days getting familiar with the iWork applications, then make your decision.
    Regards,
    Barry

    Next, copy your iTunes library folder to your new iMac. The location: Macintosh HD/user/music/iTunes
    Your applications can be downloaded again for free. Downloading past purchases.
    Hope this helps and let me know how it goes.
