Just got my Dirt 3 HD 6950 2 days ago, flipped the switch, no go, unlike what the others in the item feedback have experienced... i then modded the bios with RBE and flashed (successfully), the shader count still didnt change... i RMA'd it to try my luck again.. battlefield 3 looked gorgeous...

thanks for the advices once again folks !! But what about the 560GTX ? they seem to cost about the same as the 460 ?

thanks !

1440x900....prob CPU bound.... wondering if i should bite the bullet and just put together a new system..

Hi all, i had an ancient system I put together from '06, still been using it (Q6600 @3.2..4gig ram and 8800GT, in a sonata III 500w case).... i didnt spend more on a PSU so its just the default 500W.... Now I'm finally done with grad school and have some free time before moving to Boston for...

guess i'll hold my upgrades then....having enough of a hard time trying to work on my doctoral dissertation as it is atm... thanks for all the great advice folks !!

I really like the screen, and the way its at my desk its big enuf for me atm...sometimes i even get dizzy playing some FPS in fullscreen mode.... so i wont really see much improvement at these resolutions (1440 x 900 or 1200x 720-ish) by upgrading ?

just saw a very similar thread regarding the 8800GT upgrade...i'm in the same boat, however, i only have a samsung 19' screen which is only at 1440 x 900... and a 500w PS that came with the sunbeam sonata case, runnin on a 3.0ghz Q6600...

anyone got anymore invites ? i'd kill for one too...and i'll share the unlocks later too... !

PM sent cant send the CD tho, u gotta find it somehow, since i snapped it in half hehe have only the keys whats ur email? once i get the invite i'll email u the 2 keys..... too bad i deleted all the characters.... however, i heard that they may do char restores.... I have a char on east...

Anyone got Mythos invites left ? this morning i deleted Diablo2 & LOD expansion off my HDD, snapped the Play CD in half, in an effort to break my addiction.... now i need a substitute fix.... will PM my valid CD keys for D2 & LOD expansion..... Thx

my G0 can do a max of 3.2gig as well :-( 9x356....anything higher it wont be stable..

hmm, i think i'll get another Sflex and put that behind the TRUE120EX on mine....wont that create too much negative presure in the case? since on my sonata III, i have one rear 120mm, one 120mm fan on the TRUE120 pushing toward the rear fan...if i get another fan on the TRUE to pull, wont that...

i was wondering about that, i think there was a thread that had a picture of a TRUE120 sandwiched by 2 fans, cant remember exactly where.....how much a temp drop was it? i think i might do the same thing....

Guys, on my DS3L, in bios i set my Q6600 to 1.35V to be stable for a 3.2ghz OC.....however, when its idle, under CPU-Z, instead of the 1.35V that was set in bios menu, i see its actually 1.280 idle, and under load prime95, w/ the Vdroop, it drops to 1.248...thats like almost 0.1 V lower than...
