    How much did it cost you get married?

    We're getting married in France this August (she is French). Total cost for everything not including the honeymoon will be around nine thousand Euros or a bit less than £7000. There will be 80 people at the reception. I was aiming for £6000 maximum, so not far off.

    Strange problem with my MSI 280X

    I think I'm getting somewhere now. I connected my Iiyama monitor to the graphics card again and the screen flickered like I described before. I use this monitor every day at work and I've never seen it flicker. I'll have to send back the graphics card for RMA.

    Strange problem with my MSI 280X

    I agree but these problems only occur when it's connected to one particular TV. If I send away the graphics card for RMA, it will be tested and found to be functioning properly! :(

    Strange problem with my MSI 280X

    In Catalyst Control Center the listed desktop resolutions only go up to 1680x1050. To get full resolution on my TV, I have to set CCC to 1080p mode in the 'HDTV' list. There is clearly something wrong here.

    Strange problem with my MSI 280X

    Right, I brought home another 1080p monitor. I connected that to the graphics card via HDMI and booted up, and everything was fine as expected. I opened up Catalyst Control Center then connected the Panasonic TV with a DVI to HDMI cable. It was immediately recognised as a second monitor, and I...

    Strange problem with my MSI 280X

    Good idea, I will try that later. I updated the motherboard BIOS from 2203 to 2303 but it made no difference.

    Strange problem with my MSI 280X

    The Dell monitor has a resolution of 1680 x 1050 so that would be the only difference. I do have access to another monitor which has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 so I will test that tomorrow. To be clear, I can't even see the boot-up screen or the BIOS. I can't tell if the PC is booting into...

    Advice for wireless keyboard and mouse

    These days I have my PC connected to the living room TV for gaming mostly using a controller, however I've still got a couple of games which are better with keyboard and mouse. At the moment I've got a basic wired gaming keyboard and a Razor Diamondback gaming mouse from many years ago. They...

    Bringing French car to the UK. Advice needed!

    You're not far wrong, I looked at all the costs and she could save at least £1000 by selling the Twingo in France then buying a small car here! Insurance for a Twingo isn't cheap.

    Bringing French car to the UK. Advice needed!

    I am looking for information on behalf on a friend, and I thought this might be a good place to ask since I'm finding it difficult to find information on government websites. She will be living in the UK from September in order to do a PGCE course (postgrad, teacher training) which lasts one...

    *** The Official ATI Radeon HD 6950 Overclocking Thread ***

    With my 2500k at 4.5GHz and 6950 at 950/1450 I only get 1153: I let the benchmark run twice and confirmed with GPUZ that the clocks stayed at 950/1450 the whole time. Can anyone explain why my score is lower than others who are getting 1300+ ? I definitely don't have AA or AF forced in...

    *** The Official ATI Radeon HD 6950 Overclocking Thread ***

    Unlocked my shaders today and had a go at overclocking it. Using Sapphire Trixx I can manage 950 on the core at 1.225v or 940 at 1.2v, temps dont go over 65 either way as I've got a Thermalright Shaman. Memory goes to 1450 max. Would anyone agree that I should keep the core at 940 with...

    Gamers - What Soundcard Are You Using?

    Asus Xonar D1 plugged into Logitech Z-5500 speakers. I play games, it produces pleasing sounds. Although as I've discovered, Dolby Headphone is an echoey pile of poo.
