I recently switched to a Highpoint RocketRAID 3560 and it's excellent. The problem with cheaper RAID controllers is that even those that claim...
I might well do that as well, if only to have a bit of a play around with it. XNview is brilliant for what I need though - it is running in the...
Just a quick update incase anyone ever searches for a similar solution - I've switched to a Highpoint RocketRAID 3560 and the performance is...
Thanks for the suggestions - your help is much appreciated. I'll give XNview a go as it's free and, if that doesn't work, I'll try lightroom.
I thought you might be interested to know I have sorted the problem - as I suspected in the end, the Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 was killing the...
The mistake I made was buying a cheap RAID card and I've regretted it ever since - I went for a high end spec on everything else and then got a...
I'd be terribly grateful for some advice on converting loads of CR2/raw image files to JPEG. The problem is this: a very close friend of mine...
I'm looking for a hardware RAID5 capable PCI-E SATA controller to replace my Highpoint RocketRAID 2320. The current spec of the system is as...
Well it's hardly ideal as I can't use the RAID card and the 5870 at the same time and as all my HD media is on the RAID array it renders it kind...
I'm about 90% certain it's a conflict with the RAID card or a mobo issue when multiple PCI-E slots are in use - it's working perfectly now with...
Immediately before I was using an old Radeon X800 after my previous card died during the rebuild. Not really looking forward to going back to...
D13, I've just tried that again - essentially the only other thing currently connected to the board is the RAID card (hardware RAID5). This time...
I've looked through my boxes of parts and the only motherboard I could use has another fault....so building a separate machine to test it is out...
I've updated the Motherboard's bios to a realease from late September. This has seen a slight improvement in the reported figures but not...
The bios was the latest version a week or so ago but I'll check for revisions. Yes the issue was the same in XP and no RAID: 25% GPU usage on the...
I've a friend who would test it but it won't fit in his case. I could knock one up from the spare parts I've got lying around but I'm half tempted...
Gurusan - I've tried a complete reformat on a spare hard drive (XP and 7). I've not tried Vista simply because I had that before 7 and the RAID...
The RAID is hardware but it remains very processor intensive and it's a PCI-E card. The Mobo has 7 PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots - initially I had the 5870...
There is nothing running - I've gone through every process that's running and closed all applications with no improvement. My only fear is that it...
Very little works as it should - the display functions and at the correct resolution, catalyst works and recognises the card, 3dMark runs and...
