    Ungrade from HD 5870 for around 250$

    Can it be cause R9 doesn't have own drivers yet(only beta) and in the near future they'll have better performance?

    Ungrade from HD 5870 for around 250$

    Hi guys, recently switched from 19"(1024x1280) to 24"(1920x1200) and started feeling that I need upgrade(XFX Radeon HD 5870 1GB Cypress XT), so what you can suggest to me? p.s. I'm some kind of ATI adept(10 years with them:D) needless to say what I prefer.

    From CRT to TFT - your recomendations

    CrabJuice thanks, never heard about the Samsung S24C750P and I couldn't find any reviews of it. As for the annoying part, all drawbacks that you can't find on CRT annoys me equivalently, that's why I still hesitate.
