Good thread with some fantastic responses. I was wondering if my i7 975 extreme was outdated. My wife wants to get into gaming and I am thinking of giving her my system. Here's is what I've learned from reading this thread. 1. Not one person said today's games are so intense that their...

I know that there aren't that many 3D titles currently available, but my grandkids are especially keen to those movies. So my questions are: 1) Would Nvidia's GT430 playback the current Blu-ray 3D movie format or is it a Nvidia only, proprietary type of 3D symulation system? 2) If...

I'm just about done building my first HTPC. I got some great deals so it turned out a little higher in performance than what I intended. Since I've gone this far down the road, I'm wondering if I should upgrade the video card. I have an MSI ATI Radeon HD5450 and the picture is pretty good...

That's the problem with bullshit engineering. Halfway tight = halfway loose. There's no way in hell will I ever install their product on my two working 5970's. I'm the Service Manager (21 years) for an aviation equipment manufacturing company and I know good engineering. There's no way in...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the impression that they've silently removed th Xtreme 5970 from sales. It's no longer listed on their webshop (http://www.arctic-cooling.com/webshop/main.php?cPath=2,) and while listed on their website (...

I don't see the Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5970 on their website. Have they discontinued the product? All I see is the Xtreme 5870, GTX Pro, 4870X2, the 2900 and Twin Turbo. http://www.arctic-cooling.com/webshop/main.php?cPath=2

No, they've lost more than just a customer. I have $1500 invested in my two 5970s. Think I'm going to put my cards at risk? As long as I don't use their product, there's no chance that I'll be posting how my DVI failed. IN OTHER WORDS, BOTH MY CARDS ARE SAFE IF I DON'T USE THEIR PRODUCT.

Cschill1290, Took your suggestion and went back to 10.5. FPS jumped back up to 135 in the game. Lesson learned, once again.... If it aint broke, don't fix it. Thanks!

Okay I'm stumped. FPS dropped to 31 in BFBC2 and I'm running 5970 CrossFireX. Anyone else having this problem? Just want to check before I go back to 10.5.

In an earlier part of my life, I've worked on jet engines, diesel and gasoline engines. I've worked on hydraulic, pneumatic and for the last 20 years computers. I've never been instructed by any reputable company to tighten a device using an eyeball or 50% feel tight measurement. If their...

I"m running two Sapphire 5970 in CrossfireX with a BFG GTX285 as my dedicated PhysX card. GenL created a patch that's easy to use. vjsmoke posted in this forum a very useful set of instructions "How to Activate Hardware PhysX to play with an ATI Video Card " . Here's the link...

Not in the least, I was adding comment based upon my personal experience with their 901s.

The dealership sells me a part and says, oh yeah, just plug it right in. You go home, plug it right in, and the car still doesn't run. Yeah, after three hours, I can see the fun in that! I've been there, done that. At some point in time, I'd like to drive the fuckin car, not work on it. I...

Bose directs the sound eminating from the rear side of the speaker, then by porting it via a separate path, allowing it to disperse, in phase with the sound produced by the front surface of the speaker. I purchased Bose speakers before they were a household name, back in 1975. There are...

Please, don't talk to me about qulibility. This entire industry trumps "Plug & Play", yet there's not one serious computer gamer in this forum that hasn't spent hours, hours and more hours trying to get his\her brand new "Plug & Play" Gizmo to play nice with his working computer. Not one...
