    BioShock 2 - Thoughts and Opinions?

    Why? GFWL is mostly superfluous if you don't MP or care about achievements. I'm not here to bullshit people. The game WILL ask you to set up a GFWL profile, but if you choose to make an offline one, then into your Documents folder your game saves will go. End of story. As for actual game...

    Well, you succeed at one thing: Being self explanatory.

    BioShock 2 - Thoughts and Opinions?

    First impressions - GFWL fiasco is overblown. It connects and activates; you don't need to do a thing if you're strictly playing SP in offline mode. Just make an offline profile and start playing. No inputting of keys/codes at all. It has no walk/run. You stomp around, or crouch. I guess if...

    5850 vs 5770 (x2)

    It's already been said, but let's say it again... 1 5850 now, add another later. Want more power than your pair of 5770s? Go through the hassle of selling off the 5770s. Get less than what you paid. A 5850 will hold its value because you won't be selling it to free up slots.

    5xxx cards who's NOT having problem.

    MSI 5850, flashed with MSI unlocked BIOS, 1000/1250. Vista 64. Cat 9.12. No problems, except for CCC sucking badly compared to nVCPL.

    9.12's

    It appears that you and both of the folks in that Guru thread are running X-fire setups. One guy cleared it up (not sure how, vague description) but it looks like a new glitch introduced for x-fire folks. Just a guess... my single 5850 setup works fine with 9.12 and AB.

    ATI catalyst drivers automatically install Folding@ Home?

    I don't like it being in the installer either, but just uncheck the box and all is well.

    been reading alot and im slowly changing my mind

    I think this makes the most sense. If you went with dual 5770s, then later down the road if you decided you wanted more horsepower, you'd have to ditch both of them. It just sucks that the 58x0 prices have become so ridiculous, but at least the second one (if you decided you needed it later)...

    Dirt2 PC demo and Benched DX11

    So, is anyone playing the full game via their free Steam download yet? I haven't tried to preload it yet, or done much of anything really, but I notice it keeps getting pushed later and later... first it was Dec. 1, then Dec. 4, now it's Dec. 8. What's up with this? :confused: I haven't...

    DiRT 2 Offers Exhilarating DirectX 11 Gaming Experience

    "AMD announced today that the Games for Windows Live Edition of DiRT 2 is now shipping" ...And the Steam Edition has been pushed to December 4. Not like I'm gonna slit my wrists over it, but still mildly perturbing.

    Time to replace my 8800GTX.... Which 5850 for overclocking?

    Only ASUS comes out of the box with unlocked OC capability. MSI ships with locked BIOS, but they released an unlocked version. XFX has the best warranty, but if you flash ASUS/MSI BIOS to the card and then fry it, to the point that you can't reload the original XFX BIOS, you're hosed...

    5850 Overclocks.. what are you running?

    Noise? Waterblocks don't make noise. :D That's the real reason I switched to water. The ability to OC without needing a bunch of fans humming to a crescendo. My water setup is almost 4 years old now and hasn't really changed much in that span of time, same blocks, pump, rad, tubing, fans...

    5850 Overclocks.. what are you running?

    1000/1250 via unlocked BIOS, 1.287 load voltage. Using water to cool the core, spot aircooling for the VRMs. Not going to push mine any further... not really interested in upping the volts beyond where they're at.
