I'm moving away for 6 months possibly up to 6 years. I originally wanted to ship my gaming rig (i5 and 6970 CF) whole in its original case, however I've read a lot of horror stories about computer shipping and the abuse the packages take from careless workers. Since I might be moving up to 4-6...

Any thoughts on this PSU? I know [H] gave it a bad rating because it failed at full load, however JonnyGuru and HardwareSecrets both sang it the utmost praises. Which one do I trust? I have the opportunity to buy it brand new for $100 CAD tax in, should I take it?

:( Could you link me to where you got that information? I have no idea what that is and would like to read further about it :(

Was that for sure an result of 16/4? I've heard sometimes crossfire/sli has micro stuttering problems in general, how did you isolate the result?

I'm putting together my new Sandy Bridge 2500k / Asus P8P67 rig. I already have a 5850 that's clocks 900/1250 with absolutely no problems, and I now I have the chance to buy an almost new XFX non-reference 5870 for $160CAD/$170 CAD depending on if I get it mailed or delivered, I just have a...

AFAIK they don't have to be the same size, just the same res, and I'm running all 3 at 1360x768 right now...

Thanks for the reply :) Yes I'm sure. Before I got my two 23", I used my 32" LCD TV as my monitor for over 2 years, always at the resolution of 1360x768. UPDATE: Now I tried to remove my HDTV, I ran it with only the two 23 inch monitor on DVI and DP->VGA, eyefinity display group worked...

I'm running a 5850 (10.3a preview drivers) on Windows 7. I just got my DP->VGA adapter but eyefinity isn't working. I have two 23" inch monitor (Acer X233H via DP->VGA adapter and H233H via DVI) on the sides of a 32" LCD TV (1360x768, via DVI->VGA adapter). so 23" (DVI) - 32" (DVI->VGA) - 23"...

not those ones, the small ones at the bottom left corner of that window, right click, there will be "configure"

if you're getting a card now, 5850 for sure, there is no contest between the two

If I'm gonna run eyefinity with a display with native resolution 1360x768 and 2 others with 1280x1024, what resolution would eyefinity let me fun? possible to run 4080*768? (I know 1360 is above the horizontal native resolution of the two displays, but I have a 15" Benq whose native...

I don't think that's it, that enables adaptive AA, which I already have....

It seems that the driver only allows the option to select SSAA on the 5 series cards, does anyone know how to enable the option for a 4870x2? Just to make it clear, this is not adaptive AA or edge detect, but the new (actually very old) supersampling that ATI introduced for the 5 series cards...

Not anti aliasing, by batman AA I meant Batman Arkham Asylum. You said the new libraries stopped physx from working in this one game, I was wondering by using that hacked physx library to replace the files in the game folder, if it would allow you to use physx once again

um... by new drivers do you mean the 09.09.0814 drivers? are those the ones that disable physx if an ati card is present? or are you referring to the physx libraries inside the batman aa game folder?
