Hey mattinv I sent you a PM, but this might be easier... you mentioned not to place an order for the boxes that are listed "out of stock." I would like to know what process you would like us to use if we do want to order one, and what kind of lead time are we looking at currently...

I have the same problem. There seems to be a common thread for others with this issue, DX10. I played DX9 today to see if it would crash and it did not. Mine starts stuttering a little about an hour in, then crashes after (upwards of 40 min?). Many are having the problem with different systems/...

Disabled VSYNC and tweaked the mouse settings a little. It certainly doesn't feel like TF2 or anything, but it works fine. Enjoying the game immensely.

Okay, I found the problem. I was looking at the specs for DCC, and it is older than the monitor. The pinouts on a diagram I found for VGA was helpful, since the cable I was using only had 14 of the 15 pins in it..!!! As soon as I swapped the cable for a VGA cable with 15 pins, voila! CCC now...

Sorry to hear you're having the same prob. I haven't found a solution yet, and I can't get my max resolution ATM either.

Hmm, I would imagine that is because your monitor is new, and supports the DDC? Mine is VGA, 'ol school.

Well, I have searched and not found anything, so here it goes. I just got a 4870x2, and not being that familiar with the ATI software I went to work on installing things. I installed Vista 64bit, the ATI drivers (+CCC) and I noticed that in the CCC my video card just stays (Default VGA...

Excellent review as usual guys! I am a fanboi based only on my wallet and performance, so I am very glad to see that AMD is back in the game. Looks like there is a 4870 in my future after quite a long spell of NVIDIA GPU's. Huzzah for competition!

I am in the same boat.. considering a second card. I looked on newegg and can't find this great deal... did I miss it?

Fair enough. I will remain sceptical in nature despite this aberration. :)

I hate to be a pessimist, but I doubt they're doing it to enable you to upgrade over time. Hell, the last thing a manufacturer wants you to do is incrementally spend small amounts on upgrades. They want you to buy a new machine ever year or so. They probably (and I hope I am wrong here) add that...

Holy crap! Sorry to hear about your troubles... but that story about your printer is f*$^ing hilarious.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so get on it :)

I am addicted to TF2 ATM. Playing on a server with ppl who know how to play makes it insanely fun and challanging. Were it not for that, I would have picked up UT3 by now. Maybe in a few months...

Gooch, the horse goes in front of the carriage. It is a matter of fact that software can always out pace hardware, especially when it comes to games. These guys are trying to sell engines, not just a game, and that engine needs to have a life of it's own for at least a few years. Hell, I...
