    Dear L4D players

    If you are looking for some good gaming, look up the EITOD group. They are a group of PC L4D gamers that make it a point to play the campaigns only on expert to get the true thrill of the levels. I am not a member, but I have been and I can say that when they play it is truly a grudge match with...

    Asus 4870x2 dead in 3 weeks

    Well, I am certainly willing to believe that I got a lemon. To reinforce that I have purchased another 4870x2. It is even an Asus. I will gladly join you all in the ranks of the happy owners when I get my new dust-buster with the half naked gal on the side of it.Gaming at hi-res has never been...

    Asus 4870x2 dead in 3 weeks

    This was not Asus or Newegg's fault. The current batch of 4870x2 cards are all reference cards (last I heard). That really means that only the add-ins that Asus (or whomever markets it) are what is different. Well, that and the spiffy sticker they put on the side (go Asus and your half-naked...

    Asus 4870x2 dead in 3 weeks

    ATI is not a budget solution imo. If anything Nvidia is in the budget category right now with the price point they have dropped their line into. I bought an "enthusiast" level card, the price reflected it, and I would have preferred it has lasted a bit longer. As an earlier poster said "Anyone...

    Asus 4870x2 dead in 3 weeks

    It is always a possibility. You do your best and hope it is sufficient. I am using the Antec 900 gaming case with fans stuffed everywhere. I also turned them all the way up just to be certain of their throughput. I do think that if the card is getting too hot it should certainly let you know...

    Asus 4870x2 dead in 3 weeks

    Necro...go back to Anandtech buddy. I am disinclined to tolerate your childish comments. I'm sorry your fanboi sensibilities were offended by your pet product being questioned, but I'll not be flame-baited so easily. The card already had the fan fix applied and had multiple fan performance...

    artifacting then driver stops responding on 4870x2

    This was exactly what would start happening when my 4870x2 would start overheating. Try manually setting your fan speed on the card to max and then run it and see if it does the same thing.

    Asus 4870x2 dead in 3 weeks

    I think so. It is the Corsair TX750W. It rated super high on everything I have seen. Well, plus the video card does the same behavior on another PC. I think it just burned itself up.

    Asus 4870x2 dead in 3 weeks

    Well, my shiny new 4870x2 from Newegg is Tango Uniform. It was getting really really really hot, so hot that you could not touch it. Then the PC started having random reboots. Now the PC just reboots over and over with the 4870x2 in it. I switch it back to my 8800gt and everything is back to...

    4870x2 proprietary 8 pin connector and instability

    Oh wow, that adaptor is a sweet find. Thanks. That may save me some bank. Now if I could just convince myself that a 750w power supply is going to be sufficient. The first time I had hiccups I would probably be questioning it. The Asus site indicates you need over 950 watts for a build...

    Yes, I am. How would that impact this build?

    4870x2 proprietary 8 pin connector and instability

    Btw, I read my first post and the first line was messed up because of a botched cut and paste. Sorry for the confusion. I was trying to get it across that the 8 pin plug from the power supply and the 8 pin interface on the video card were different and it was stressing me out :)

    4870x2 proprietary 8 pin connector and instability

    The 8 pin plug for the 4870x2 is identical to the one that is used for the motherboard but has a different plastic key (by one plug) than the standard 8 pin adaptor for motherboards. In one of the reviews I read it was identified as a special version of the standard EPS spec. I thought perhaps...

    4870x2 proprietary 8 pin connector and instability

    Just bought a 4870x2 and a Corsair 750w power supply. The 8 pin (EPS?) connector from the power supply is different than the one expected by the video card. You end up having to use the adaptor that is supplied in the box with the 4870x2 and connecting two PCIE 6 pin connectors to it...
