So it may be, from what I read, a lack of compatability with Crossfire from Skyrim. Everyone is stating I'll get better results with a single card. Is this right? The game is preseting me to Ultra High already, but I run at a low of 30fps, a high of 60, but steady around 40 or so. Any...

I've currently noticed the biggest eye sores with Skyrim, BF3 seems to drop out rates at times to. But doing Unigine benchmarking, I hit lows of 12 fps... and highs of 180fps. That's not a marginal gap by any means.. And no, I've got the basic AMD drivers from disk... Perhaps it's done an...

Hey everyone! I've recently built a new computer, with the following components. 2x Toxic Saphire AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB DDR5 gpus in crossfire Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UO3 Mobo Corsiar Enthusiast Series TX750 Power supply Thermaltake Chaser MKI Chasis 500GB Western Digital Caviar Black...

Wasn't ignored, I did consider. As much as I respect, and see the facts that Intels are great, I've always ran AMD/ATI. Creature of habit I suppose, building guitars I'm the same way. I've never used an Intel chip (other than at work)

Completed my build today :) A tad bit over budget at 1257.43, but I'm getting 79.99 back as I got a Thermalright Silver Arrow CPU Cooler that was not going to fit without a larger case. Going to test on some games momentarily! Thanks for the advise, and your time everyone! Saphire...

What kind of performance could I expect? Should I be able to run newer games relatively well?

I'm not positive... This is the monitor though http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/acer-acer-20-widescreen-lcd-monitor-with-5ms-response-time-p206hvb-p206hvb/10154685.aspx

Please answer these questions as well: 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need. Case, Power supply, mobo, ram, optical drive, video card, hard drive, thermal paste, CPU, fans...

I’ll keep it sweet and simple, today I'm looking to build a computer this evening. I’m looking to get optimal performance, at the best value for a gaming rig. I’ve got $1300 – taxes in – to work with here. Specs to work for to get these benchmarks; Budget: 1300 – taxes in More specific use...
