Both the PS3 and the X360 will show off the HD capabilities of your new TV, but the 360 has a superior selection of titles as well as a better online service. Blu-Ray is no better then HD-DVD, however that choice comes down to which movies you want to watch in High Definition.
For example...
I have 2 of these cards in SLI in my new rig, I installed the drivers off the CD because the latest forceware at the time of me building it didn't support the cards yet. I am having no problems with windows xp media center edition sp2 and these cards.
I have 2 7950GT m570's SLI'd and they run Company of Hero's at all HIGH settings and max model detail silky smooth. My SLI combo is only a bit faster then a stock GX2 so you can expect the same results.
I have 2 xfx7950GT m570 extreme's SLI'd and they kick ass. Honestly I'm dissapointed my case doesn't have a window and I think trying to install one in a p180 side panel would ne hellish! Also they don't get very hot at all. I have not tried overclocking them yet (because I have absolutely no...
I just built my new rig and it has 2 x 7950GT's SLI'd. Honestly I can't tell if I need that much power right now since my monitor only does 1680x1050, but from what I've seen in all the games I have, setting them to max eye candy w/ anti-aliasing, my cards seem to handle themselves pretty well...
Asus P5NSLI will support the chip and video card you mentioned. It's cheap too around $120. Hopwever from what I've read overclocking isn't something that this board does well. I am not overclocking mine currently.
here ya go. cooling to the cards is mainly from a 120mm fan that is located near the front of the case in front of the middle drive rack (which is empty, my hd is on the lower rack). So the air passes through an empty tube to the video card area.
Same thing happened to me today when I tried to install the latest WQHL drivers from nvidias site. I am using 2 of the XFX 7950GT 570m Extreme cards. It said it couldn't detect any nvidia hardware to install the drivers with. I just used the unsigned drivers that came with the cards.
I just built my new pc and included two XFX 7950gt's in sli on a P5NSLI board. From what I've seen so far they are able to drive my new 22inch lcd (1680x1050) at max settings in Company of Heroes, Counterstrike: Source and World of Warcraft with no problem. I'm going to be running some real...
I'm planning on building a new conroe rig, but I'm having trouble deciding what motherboard to get. An older nForce 4 board (P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe) or the newer P5NSLI.
One thing that stood out on the P5NSLI is that it mentions if you use both PCI-E slots in SLI configuration with 2 video...
I'm planning on building a new rig in the next few weeks and going mATX is something I'm considering. I am going to be getting an E6600 cpu and a 7900GS video card (will get a 2nd one in a month or 2), if I could get a nice mATX board that would support my endeavours I would like that instead...
