    AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 @ [H]

    Great review. However I was hoping to instead of seeing the 4870 single card see the 4870 crossfire. This would have went alittle better with the 260gtx sli setup. I feel that hardocp does a great job, but I just had that one request. Which is to see how the 4870 crossfire does with the...

    cross fire, how do you know its working?

    I found Devil May Cry 4 to be a excellent crossfire demo. I did some testing with 8x w/ edge detect, 24xCFAA with crossfire disabled and enabled on my 4870 setup. Pretty much 100% scaling. So it was a excellent test for crossfire and if it is working for me. Was 1920x1200, max everything.

    FW900--how to get 2304x1440 working?

    Best I had was 2560x1600 75hz. Took me awhile to get it to hold but it worked. However the FW900 is too small and it just goes way too far off screen. Gotta shrink which kind of defeats it. Think i had 117khz with the resolution at 75hz

    Buy another FW900 or go LCD?

    Well i used vasoline and it easily gets the small scratch. Its very faint and thin. Not deep. However i got to deal with the smudging. I can wipe it away to a very thin line but it drives me insane. On light backgrounds cant see nothing. Now on darker with white text you can see a bit of...

    Buy another FW900 or go LCD?

    Only light in the room is overhead and it shouldnt reflect off of it. The only issue with that is that i have a hard time finding really good reviews of after its taken off. And yes it is just to the anti glare. I am worried after i take off the film it will look like total crap. That...

    Buy another FW900 or go LCD?

    I was not aware of this. I figured due to how the anti-glare is that it couldnt be repaired. I guess i can call them. The thing is that i am within driving range of accurateit. So I can just drive up there and get one if need be. However I really dont want to spend that short of cash again.

    Buy another FW900 or go LCD?

    Long story short the family got somehow got into the room with my FW900, scratching the center of it. So now I have a decision. Do I drive back up to accurateit and get another FW900 A grade or do i finally go LCD? Budget is 600usd. I could always just rip the anti-glare coating off but...

    Pounce or wait for Nehalem?

    What about people with rather up to date systems right now? I run on a e8400, x38 mobo, and am wondering what i should do. I mostly game but I am also getting to the point in school where I can really benefit from a quad finally. I am in school for Digital Media Design in the game design...

    I'm sorry, but I have to cry now

    I live on a 133 acre farm. We are on top of the highest hill for maybe.. 8+ miles? Awsome view but our electric poles are black and brittle at the top. Direct hits arent a surprise here and scare the lipping crap out of someone when they hear the sound of what most refer to as tin foil being...

    Was 4870 CF a mistake 1920x1200?

    Well i am trying to overload past 512 and see how the card does as a test. Do you know what amount of vram your game was using? This is because some people have said ATI does do abit better going past 512, albiet not far i guess, and dosent outright sink like a rock. So wondering the best...

    Was 4870 CF a mistake 1920x1200?

    The issue is that some review sites are messing with my head due to how they review. Like anandtech's review that was just a copy and paste of the 4870CF from their earlier review that easily showed some CF problems. Like their quake wars bench that is radically different than the majority of...

    Was 4870 CF a mistake 1920x1200?

    Appreciate the replies. I have done alot of testing and the setup shows improvements everywhere to some degree on most games within the last 5 years. Havent tested prior to that. As for fallout 3 I know its the same engine so when they did the recent reviews I paid close attention to...

    Was 4870 CF a mistake 1920x1200?

    I have been reading alot and prior to making the purchase I had seen all of the 4870X2 previews. I saw that at 1920x1200 it was generally even between the 4870CF and 4870X2. Now that we have seen all of the long reviews the majority of them show the same. However I just have this feeling in...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    I had a small scare with mine but I seem to have fixed it somewhat. Warning: Try it under risk. My cat, well the wife's cat that is about to walk the green mile if it happens again, scratched the center of my HP OEM Sony FW9012. It was a very faunt scratch as I needed to shift my head...

    4870x2 Review. New King is here!!!

    I agree. On another forum we had someone who was using reviews as a retort and that was one issue. They dont look at test setups to get a real grasp. I saw alot of gains going from the stock e8400 clocks to 3.825ghz and not much more hitting 4.05ghz so settled on 3.825. From what I have seen...
