I have this problem with my EVGA GTX 280 as well. I noticed it started when I updated to the latest driver off of EVGA's website. mine flickers when playing BC2 at high resolution and goes away when set at low or medium. I think the card is dying and I will contact EVGA about his issue.

still rocking my Q6600 @ 3.6 ghz on water :D. I have had this card since release and it hasn't skipped a beat. even at crazy voltages :eek:. its quite fast for my usage.

heres a feedback, could of saved $ by going with 2600k and put that money towards a better case. you forgot to buy zip ties.

amazing indeed. only thing I don't like about the Gigabyte's is the cooling design. I want my card to have a rear exhaust so it doesn't spread the heat around the case.

I think I will wait for the next generation of cards to come out. my oldie GTX280 gets better performance than that. same settings HBAO off and 8CSAA :eek:.

it is not guaranteed.. different ram specs..

hello, I am thinking of upgrading to a 6950 and would like to know if this card can max out the BC2 with a 1920x1200 resolution? what FPS are you getting? I would like to know before I dump the cash. no CPU bottleneck here. thanks!

try the small FFTs :)

very helpful fellas, I am still stuck with a GTX 280 ;). currently using 700w power supply. still very stable with OC CPU and GPU. will is PSU be ok with the newer cards?

do not bundle your cables together. spread them out so they are laying flat...I would definitely pay extra for a modular PSU

very good advice, I will take a hard look at those two. if you have to pick between those two, which one would you pick and why?

thanks Dan, nice to know my rig is still up to the tast ;)

hello guys, I am still rocking the Q6600 @ 3.7ghz w/ 1660 DDR3 and would like to upgrade my video card. I am thinking of either the GTX 580 or HD6970. I am using a 1900x1200 monitor. is my CPU going to be a bottleneck with this setup? I am holding off for the SB CPU :) thanks!

very nice. I am upgrading my gtx280 very soon. I am getting low FPS with BC2 around 40ish with everything on high except HBAO off. will this card give be decent frame rates with everything high on 1900x1200? thanks :)

you did a great job there. Although, I would pick a different shade of green ;)
