So I decided to buy a 560ti. I got this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130623 for only 199.99 after $30 rebate and I am very satisfied with it. Thanks for your input guys :)

I might jump on that 6950 if its till there when Im ready to buy, thank you.

Thank you for that.

Honestly, I'm just curious. I am aware that Nvidia uses some very shady marketing tactics, but I don't really care.

I need a replacement for my 4890. Im thinking Nvidia just because I've always used ATI/AMD, and I just want to try them. My budget is up to around $230. I have my eye on this little fella here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125401

He makes a great point. What was your procedure for cleaning the laptop?

This may sound stupid, but check the memory. My desktop was doing this as well. I booted with one stick of memory and its fine, no crashes/freezes/monitor shutting off.

Is it one of the fans? Could also be a cap too I guess.

My 4890 was shutting off my monitor at seemingly random times. During boot, in the BIOS menu, Windows desktop... I took it out for a few hours and then tried again, same result. I then used the other PCI-E power connectors on my PSU and it started working. Works fine now. I had furmark...

I need a new PSU for the wife.

I could only OC mine to 890/1100, but it didn't really have an effect performance-wise. I just gave up and left it stock.

This may be a long shot, but since you went from a 8800GT did you run driver sweeper?

I wanted to flash my BIOS to one with higher clocks, but none of the tools on tech power up seem to be compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. Is there another way to flash it? :confused:

Hi.

They wanted to charge my wife $900 for a new motherboard
