    6950 Upgrade question

    I have a question some of you guys more up to date on the current video cards might be able to help me with. I currently have 2 6950's and I think one of my cards is starting to fail . Is there a single card solution where I could get better performance than from my setup? I play at 2560x1600 at...

    HD6950 Upgrade options

    So here is the deal I had 2 Sapphire DIRT 3 EDITION Radeon HD 6950's running in crossfire and one of them crapped out on me. I have had some issues with the ATI drivers, but nothing to major. Still I kind of want to switch to Nvidia. Performance matters more to me than who makes it in the end...

    Setup suggestion for 2650 x 1600

    Now that you mention it I should have ordered each card from a different account so i could get 2 copies of Dues Ex, I doubt I will now though Oh well I guess. Mr Wolf: ya I was actually considering the 580 because I really like EVGA, but price won out in the end this time. I almost convinced...

    Setup suggestion for 2650 x 1600

    Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I decided to go with 2 6950's. I wanted to get the saphire toxic's but I am not patient enough to wait for them to come in stock somewhere. I sold my 5870 for 150, I think I could have gotten more out of it but I sold it to a friend so I let it go for...

    Thanks for the reply's guys. I will start looking at those cards. I never actually though about selling my old one for some reason. I wonder what I could get for it.

    Setup suggestion for 2650 x 1600

    Hey all, I recently decided to build a new system and the only thing I am stuck on is the graphics card choice. I went with a i7 2600k and I will have plenty of memory so that should not be a limiting factor. I currently have HIS 5870. The resolution I run at is 2650 X 1600. I'm not really...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I have been playing with the display and there appears to be 3 dead pixels at the top of the display..... normally it would not bother me, but I spent a good deal of money on this so it does. Good news is I called Dell and they are sending a replancement for it. Other than that I still love it.

    About to Purchase Dell U3011

    I thought about that to, but If I waited until after the 25th to order I would have to wait even longer to get it and I don't want to. I kinda figured this is a new model so while there may be discounts they probably won't be to insane. Either way I am ok with my choice. Sure, I am in the...

    I am actually thinking of getting this myself. I was going to get a 24, but I figured if I am going to spend the cash I might as well get what I really want. I hope it works ok for games. Anymore all I play are WoW and starcraft2

Some may not like the sound but I love it(Though my wife is not too fond of it lol). I have yet to try any...

    Q6600 Nowadays

    I like my Q6600 and so far I have yet to run into anything that really gives me any issues as far as performance goes. All I really do is gaming and some programming though. I do want to upgrade to a i7 when I get the chance, but I just can't justify the cost right now.

    problem with crysis on 5870

    So I have my 5870 for a bout a week now and it runs everything I throw at it with no problems. When I go to play crisis it gets very jerky and skips allot. It makes it unplayable.

    Replacement for 8800GTS

    Well I installed my 5870 and SSD in my machine last night. The drive is amazing. Things launch so much faster now. It’s only a test copy, and I’m still not sure if I would fork over the cash to have one just yet though as the price is so much. I started by playing some Dragon age and it looked...

    Upgrading Video Card - Why Upgrade?

    T260HD or alternatives

    I just upgraded to a 5870 so I wanted to add a bigger monitor to my setup. I currently have 2 Samsung 19” widescreen monitors and I would like to add a 3rd monitor around 26 inches. I was looking at the T260HD. I like Samsung and it seems to be reasonably priced with favorable reviews. It has a...

    Replacement for 8800GTS

    I would wait but I don't like to switch things around all the time. I want the card to last a couple of years before I upgrade again. I am trying to decide if I want to shell out the extra for the 5870.

    Replacement for 8800GTS

    Thanks for the reply's. I think I'm going to go for a HD5850 if I can find one that is. Having a little trouble with that right now. For anyone who has tried one is there a big enough difference between the 5850 and the 5870 to pay the price and go that route?
