Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Obe1,

The thing that strikes me is your video card. I was having the exact same DPC latency spikes when I had an ASUS EAH 4350 Silent (ATI Radeon) card installed. This didn't happen with an old...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

I'm not sure if there is an advantage or not leaving HPET on for PT use. I need to do a little research. So far, I know that Win XP cannot use it and it should be turned off for XP. Vista and Win7...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
