tried the samsung on its own or as main? switched output ports etc.

Upgrade wise.. stretch for a 5850 if you can warrant price. sideways replacement.. 5770 shouldn't be dismissed, you are at perfect res for it, on par with the 4870, but less power/heat & definitely less than the 4890. A 1gb 4890 would be a bit of an upgrade (just got one myself...

lol I was just about to post the same before work pc broke^. You cocked something up by not paying enough attention / knowing what you were doing, have waited a whole day :eek: hoping someone else will fix your mistake and now decided the system is buggered? Really no, but welcome to eve...

you know what.. there can be a lot of grinding/logistics/work to eve. people can really spend 5-8 hours game time saving up to by that pimped & shiny new ship.. only for you and your mate to come along in a couple cheap fitted rifters and sh1t on them. To me this is what makes it... the...

agree with the above... race, bloodline & profession used to make a big difference prior to the changes a few patches ago (different starter skill sets), but now it is largely irrelevant as all start with low SP and get the double training speed bonus instead. The only skills difference now...

Roliath, get a 21day buddy invite / trial off someone (...i'm here to help :) pm is your friend ). Activate account using that code sent on email and start playing via normal download (which should avoid any MAC/Steam issues) Buy EVE via steam for $5... when installing, cancel the steam...

I use 3x 19ins for work and do use/appreciate the different workspace. Able to dedicate a side monitor for specific uses, middle monitor as general. It is very handy able to quickly min/max to a single monitor as leaves other active /viewable - you lose this to a certain extent with single...

I was in same boat, game at 1900*1200 and ended up going for a 4890, pre-clocked @ 950/4200 - no regrets. For less intense gaming or at resolutions below 1900, I'd say go for the more power-friendly 5770 , otherwise go for the extra umpph from the 4890.

Considered getting just a single 5850/70? would rock at that res without crossfire issues (and ton less power draw than 2x 4890's), and always the option to get another down the line when supply/prices come back. fwiw 5770 is about equiv to 4870... so 2x 4890's would be a step up...

+3.5km/s with a few nav comps & a 12.5k optimal.... gimped and def not great, but do-able for a lol..... anyway agree they crap, not worth the drone bay.

a: yes, yes it would be funny... but just eft'ing it.... 5x SW-0900 web drones wouldn't really take the inty below 2km/s and thats assuming they caught up with the inty, so still keep orbit & tackle on you (assume dedicated/bonused inty tacklers). warriors and heavy neuts really..

wow... mammoth patch notes & long DT this time.. make sure to read notes & set long skill to train (++4days at least) grr to npc tax when I've just got a lvl4 mission alt (and thermo being more accessible), but yeay to lots of stuff that actually matters :)

Interesting... so in the 2 window mode across 2 monitors situation (usual setup in EveO - due to not having to alt-tab / min/max issues) CF/second card is effectively abandoned and you get the same performanace as you would on a Single card? and afaik eyefinity is single gaming (or 3d...

That's covered in the methology mate... testing the Graphics cards only, really you just read how much better/worse one is vs the other, relative not absolute. basically take the (rest of) system out of the equation, and compare whats best in the line up - quite like this tbh.

?? baffles me... top of the line $500-600 card(? - was about 300gbp+ around then iirc) dies twice in 2 years, to me that is pretty poor showing from the green side, brand loyalty pfft...:rolleyes: my 8800gtx died on me after 18months (uk 1yr warrenties :( - 6600gt is still going strong...
