Perhaps this is a bit off topic, but the excellent review primed the question. Personally I have a 5870 system in which I sometimes run Eyefinity (depending on the game, since I have had inconsistent results) but I am considering building a new system. I had a 3d (polarized) monitor for a...

Nothing new on this yet? I purchased the game this weekend, but have shelved it until the eyefinity is working. Kinda bummed. I don't have enough time to play a game twice- I have to rearange things just to find time to play it once!

I also think that you will be disapointed with the TVs. For me it has been the lack of clarity and color saturation even on the 1080P tvs. You have to go to the really top end to find one that is as good as a medium priced monitor. Just my two cents. Have fun with the upgrade!

"He could, but any basic 2.1 Logitech system for $30 sounds about the same ... Back on topic .." I could not disagree more. Honestly- if you cant tell the difference in the Logitech and the Bose- you really should go get your hearing checked. Clearly you don't have high standards for...

This is a MINIMUM for rural areas. DSL cannot get there because of the physical limitations of the line. Most of these connections are going to be wireless links. WiMax only has a speed of 16mbps TOTAL at a base station- so 20 people on a bsu at the same time downloading a movie receive...

ah.... 56k is dial up. 768 is 13.6x dial up speed. Duh. And it will work fine for VOIP. How many people do video conferencing anyhow? Not the farmers that are going to buy this service you can be sure.

I am in for some NVidia 3d goodness!

It looks pretty slick. I whish it had a smaller footrint though. Like anything though- I would need to see some reviews. Perhaps Kyle wants to do a keyboard roundup? He could shoot the bad ones with his 50 cal!

Ah well. I guess that i will have to bite the bullet and try it over the weekend. I hate to do this to a card as difficult to come by as my 5870, but I guess I will have to be first. Wish me luck. I will post the results (assuming I don't brick the card) Sunday or so.

as anyone tried the new 5870 firmware? I hear that it might fix some displayport issues. Here is the thread- http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1474819

I have seen and heard a lot of crazy things about these, but I have to admit that mine came in with broken front panel glass (1" segment on lower left side). I have heard that there have been quite a few of these issues. My guess is that they are tweaking their manufacturing to resolve several...

This would complete a nice little build I am working on as a gift. I am in.

Well I hope I am not toooo Late to get in on this. I have a rig that could use a bigger PSU for sure, considering I have a pair for 4870 cards sitting in a box right now. This would be sweeeeet. I will now hop on one foot until I win the drawing!! WOOOOOOOOOO!

I think it is ok that they dance. But.... isn't their dancing proof of a lack of geek credentials? I think that there were at least 4 places in the video where actual rythm was displayed. Shameful! In other news- Apple store employees all over the country will be performing the Achy Breaky...

Try the new Wacom touch or pen&touch pads. I picked one of these up. While it is not as good as the trackpad on a macbook- it works pretty well- REALLY sensitive by default. Just my opinion.

That is because it is not an option on your monitor- you have the 2560 x 1600. You could probably go into the config file for the game (Doom3 for instance) and make that res available. I wonder if that would give you black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. The CCC is just reporting...

OK- So I got the imac- and DAMN is that display nice. I spent some time moving things over- software and whatnot before trying the 5870 to 27" connection. The 5870 is seeing a "CRT Display on VGA" which I see as positive, because I should be able to set the resolution properly to match that of...

I have tracking for my quad core imac showing it should be here on Friday- so assuming that my DP to mDP cable (is it wrong to type DP like that???) comes in I should be able to work on it over the weekend with the 5870. I will be suprised if I cannot make it work- my guess is that the people...

How long before the Kiosk gets a virus and spreads malicious code to everyone who uses it? I see huge problems with allowing people to use memory sticks to download movies. If I am getting these on a stick anyway, why wouldnt I just download the darn movie on Netflix or Apple TV??? Someone at...

I love my apple TV and it a staple of my entertainment center. Hopefully this update will add a little....stability? It is the only issue I have had is that it sometimes crashes.

You do know that you are postin in the [H]ard Forum right? :rolleyes:

I will get you a picture as soon as mine comes in- waiting for my quad to ship. No use getting this without the quad and 4850. You think YOU want to see pictures- I can hardly wait to see it on my desk!

I think I have made up my mind to get this. I have a 5870 in my gaming system but I love my 13" Macbook. My plan is to get this and use it as a primary display for my PC to play games and as a workstation for graphics and photoshop work. Is there any reason this won't work since the 5870 has...

It only depends on what you are doing. For ALMOST every game I play the TV as a monitor works great. You are correct though, that it is not good for some things- web surfing an photo editing? UGH! I am simply saying that for immersion IN GAMES the TV as a monitor is better than the 3 x...

LOL- That is because your monitor was only 30" ;) Trust us. The TV from 3 feet is immersive. Now I just need 2 more :D

That last shot of the two systems says a lot. The Eyefinity is SOOOO clear even in the photograph- but the TV has NO BEZELS. I have to say that in games I never notice the pixels in games- too buzy playing the games (perhaps that is my problem- I build systems and then actually use them)...

I understand both sides of the discussion. I have run 3 monotors for years for graphic arts purposes (photochop on 1, reference material on another, and brushes/pallets on a third). Really nice for productivity. Games have always been limited to one screen for me- but now I am enthused! My...

I am not an apple fanboy or anything, but have you considered using an airport base station or apple TV? I have an apple tv upstairs and my pc downstairs as well as a sound system in the garage that is plugged into my laptop. When having parties (yes, it happens) i simply use the free 'remote'...

I had mine run through the washer and dryer by my girlfriend (that is the danger of training them to do the laundry). I had to let it sit for two weeks, until the battery completely died, and then reset it. Once charged it worked perfectly. I was a little concerned that there would be...

Hey Loki808- I am fairly certain that your Quad Core and 2 GTX units are too much for your PSU. Your symptoms of lockups is very similar to something that I experienced with a single GTX running vista with a 550 watt psu that was not cutting it on the 12v rail. Don't flame me, I am just...
