    Processor upgrade: 5050e to PIIX3, PIIX4, AIIX4?

    thank everyone for your input. I think the 945 seems to be the best option... always hate buyers remorse when you go for the cheaper option :)

    Processor upgrade: 5050e to PIIX3, PIIX4, AIIX4?

    Thanks for the idea, but just checked it out, and my GA-MA780G-UD3H won't unlock the cores.

    Processor upgrade: 5050e to PIIX3, PIIX4, AIIX4?

    Hi everyone, If anyone can give me a little advice that would be appreciated. I originally got the 5050e to save on power and keep things quiet (was sleeping next to the pc, but not it's out in the lounge) but i'm finding it lacks a little horsepower. I've been playing Just Cause 2, but at the...

    Crossfire Eyefinity - Still require displayport?

    yea well thanks decho for your help, not Seeing as the nvidia solution uses sli and can run 3 monitors, thought it might be a good idea from ATI's perspective to follow suit and let you run 3 dvi monitors via the second card... not that weird a question i thought, but thanks for the attitude.

    1680x1050: HD5850 worthwhile?

    it is tempting to get the latest, dx11 and all that... current price in NZ is $460 (was $550) for a 5850..... compared to $350 for the GTX 275. I guess there's no harm in spending a week or 2 to decide. Edit: As the prices are settling, probably wouldn't hurt to wait...

    1680x1050: HD5850 worthwhile?

    Hi, I'm currently running a 8800GT and am feeling the itch to upgrade, was previously going to go for either the 4890 or GTX 275, probably leaning towards the 275 for noise reasons. question is, do you think a 5850 is worthwhile at this resolution (1680x1050) or will a 275 still be plenty...

    4890, 4870 or GTX 275?

    Just added sig Thanks for the replies, I think the 4870 at ~$260 seems to be the cheapest option... Might wait till then next round of cards come out and see what's the go then. Cheers again for picking your brains.

    4890, 4870 or GTX 275?

    Fallout 3, Oblivion, CoD (both), a bit of BF2 (not that that matters at all, my 8800gt eats it for brekkie)... and a few older games like Civ etc...

    4890, 4870 or GTX 275?

    4890, 4870 or GTX 275?

    thanks for the replies so far... so the next question is is the 4890 worth the extra $80 over the 4870?

    4890, 4870 or GTX 275?

    demand is very small i guess.... the pricing always seems weird... makes it difficult to decide whats best when you read all the reviews from elsewhere. Also they are in New Zealand Dollars (pacific pesos)
