I have an unlocked 1536 shader Sapphire HD 6950 (reference) 2GB with an Artic Accelero Extreme Plus II with heat sinks for $190 shipped obo. The Xtreme is attached to the video card. I will also provide the reference cooler. This has been out of my machine for almost a year and been a pretty...

Nice deal. Too bad for you. Gaming at 1600 is just silly. In a good way.

Price is back up to $149.99

Great, more games to add to backlog... can't say I'll ever hurt for something to play ever again.

This is a killer deal already, game codes or not. If I wasn't running SLI already with these monsters, I would be buying all over again . These were $420 with rebate when they first came out. This is a steal for a 4gb card.

Some nice deals, been waiting for Total War pack, so worth it. Sega Arcade Classics 5 has the Phantasy Stars 2,3,4. Damnit nostalgia backlog! Oh snap. Checked my inbox...Amazon $5 promotional credits for January.

Dude, contact Newegg. They might refund you some money back at least. They gave me $20 credit back to cushion the blow. Not sure if BL2 is a game I would play but, you could always return them if you haven't opened them and buy them with the BL2 and the rebate.

If that's the case he should be fine with the 660ti as it will support up to 4 monitors.

It will work as the 660ti was made to run surround. The only catch is, what do you consider playable? You won't get much fps out of it. If you consider 30fps good on some games, you might be okay.

Unfortunately, that's how differentiation in the marketplace works. Team green has their "standards" that separate them from Team Red. I swing both ways...

Uh no... it's because, Nvidia wants you to buy their products to run Physx as it's their specialty. They expect you to pay more for that feature. I was running Hybrid Physx for the last few years (using an old 8800GTS640 before my current nvidia setup GTX670 FTW. Try it out if you wish to do...

I've read on here that the Gtx 680's in SLI with that set up can run below 600 watts on entire system. :eek:

Have you tried reinstalling the drivers? Were you overclocking before you added second card? QUOTE=Cerativ;1039048484]why 1280x1024 won't get much more benefit? Lower resolution = more FPS is that right? What if I get 22' Full HD put res. 19xx x 16xx and I will notice drastic FPS drops...

I think the 2GB on higher on most modern video cards is a good thing. If you are trying to run higher res setups beyond 2560x1440 or (eyefinity/nvsurround), it could be more useful down the road especially if you only upgrade every 2-3 years like I do. If you are a texture mod-loving person...

I can't imagine running frames that high being "noticeable". What resolution are you running? I would imagine there would be a discernable difference if you were coming from 24fps to 60fps but, beyond 100+, would be seemingly less especially at a 1920x1080 resolution or lower.
