I believe all the necessary silicon is on the 3870X2 so it should work on any main board with a PCIe X16 slot.... don't quote me on it though...

yeah I found that one before....I think after weighing everything I am going to go with the 8800 GTS...unless of course the 3870X2 pulls a rabbit out of its as....hat....and can outperform 2 3870's....

yep...the 23rd... anyway the 3870x2 should be almost identical in performance to 2 3870's in crossfire...maybe somewhat faster... so the question still stands 2 3870's (or 3870X2) or 2 8800 GTS 512's in SLI?

I seen some images a while back where it looked like it was hanging 2 inches over the side of the main board...but looking at an image of a retail card from last week it is barely extending out past the main board....

too long for my case...and I probably wont be able to find one for another month once it is released...

I have been unable to find any benchmarks between the two in crossfire/sli... It seems like the G92 is a better single card but that Crossfire scales better than SLI and that would cause the 3870's to pull ahead... I am really on the fence here and would appreciate some input on this...

wow yours was packaged entirely different than mine...that packaging looks like it could take a beating.... Some idiot there must have screwed mine up...

Well I ended up with a refund minus initial shipping costs...I don't know if I could recommend Accurate IT....I know I wont be ordering through them again... All was going well when I informed them I had some issues they said they would bring it back which they did only fedex had managed to...

Accurate IT agreed to take it back...they scheduled pick up with fedex for Friday....but of course I call at 4PM FedEx says everything is in order and the driver will be there today to pick it up....I call at 8PM and am informed no pick up had been scheduled for today... so hopefully I will...

well I already filed a damage claim anyway this morning...they wanted pictures if I could but I have no camera at the moment (digital camera and large falls = not good bedfellows)...I responded letting them know I had no camera available and now I am waiting on a response again... EDIT: well no...

when I say tiny I mean tiny its about the size of a pixel....and you can only see it during extreme situations...I have to have something bright right above it and something dark underneath it and then I can find it...any other time its impossible to point out.... The display came in a box on a...

it is on both the left and right sides if you look at the top of the screen in the middle its higher and then slopes down to both corners....it causes things to bend upward slightly when they are near the top of the screen.... I don't think that would do it given that it is happening equally on...

I personally like the LG L246WP....it is $599 at Best Buy but if you watch it will go on sale for $499 fairly often... it is a P-MVA panel so there is not as much color shift but it is definitely still there....

a 'bit' expensive?? :eek: if anyone knows of a solution for the curve let me know because if I don't figure this out I am thinking about calling them up and trying to exchange... I mean its not a huge curve but it is enough that my eye picks up on it...

I don't know of any program to do that but the best way to at least check for dead pixels is with a program called Dead Pixel Buddybasically it will bring up solid colors on the screen and then you can look over it to try and find any that are currently dead or stuck...

Viewsonic has a 30 day zero dead pixel policy....basically as long as you catch it within 30 days they will replace it....after that I am not sure of the policy...

It is only about a millimeter maybe 2....but nope no pin cushion setting that I can see...I wonder if there might be something in WinDAS for this...

Well, HD-DVD's look absolutely fantastic... well I went over the screen and did not see any defects but now using it I did spot one very tiny tiny nick in the anti-glare layer....it is about the size of a pixel on an LCD and only noticeable when running black backgrounds...return shipping may...

There is some nice gashes in the bezel but the screen is in perfect condition....of course thats why I paid for a Refurb A- and not an A...some case damage was to be expected.... After a half an hour convergence seems to still be off in a few spots but I am going to let it warm up for a half an...

Well it just arrived and man you guys had me psyched up....I thought I was going to break my back moving it but pffft....the guy on the truck just picked it up and handed it off to me and I got it in.... AccurateIT seems to be packing these different now...it came in a box with 2 small pieces...

yeah but I am crazy....I hate any screen defects period...

I disagree...both Toshiba and LG/Philips have shown off 20.1" displays with a resolution of 1280x768 and 2048x1536 respectively....Sony even has a 27" OLED display they have been showing off... Toshiba is supposed to be entering the market in 2009 and that is the make or break point for...

This has happened with all my LCD monitors since I went DVI....the monitor is slower to kick on with digital DVI for some reason...I could generally just catch the end of my boot screen before the display would kick on. The best thing I can think of is finding out what key takes you into bios...

it could still be a bad cable...the whacking nudges the cable into place and then it slowly drifts until something comes loose and then knocking it again nudges it back...

Well since you said you did not care about the size I would actually recommend going with something RP....either DLP or LCoS... Mitsubishi WD57733 57" 1080p DLP TV EDIT: I just realized that is 30 pounds lighter than the FW900 I ordered :p

Well, I have read every single page of this thread and I just have one thing to say.......Reading this has drove me mad and I am beyond confused! :D Actually, I think I have got a good grasp on the monitor and whats involved in calibrating all the different options...this thread not only...

There are a couple but the two that come to mind are S2Fly and ColorHCFR.

The DisplayPort video signal is not compatible with DVI or HDMI but from my understanding the spec allows the port to pass along a video signal compatible with DVI-D and HDMI so connecting to a DVI-D display or HDMI display should just be a small adapter....I do not think it works the same way...

Depends on whether or not you want to spend some cash or if you want a free solution.... I picked up the Huey Pro on Newegg with free shipping for $99 and so far its been great. It has basically a small dongle that when calibrating you put on your screen and then it will measure the color...

Well I just finished bracing my desk....got an 8ft 4x4 at Home Depot for $6 and then cut it up.... I have got a 20" crossbeam under where the monitor is going and then 2 24 1/2" columns on each end of that crossbeam...probably overkill but at $6 who can complain! it can hold me without even a...

dang you caught me before I edited....I actually changed my post because I was an idiot and read the wrong thing, he is not the owner LOL... They use Bax Global for these monitors and I am guessing the economy option so you can check estimated shipment times at Bax's site....for me it is...

I have called twice but only to find out if it would ship because their order status page is lacking....both times I went straight through to a secretary and then she handed me off to someone named Peter which is also the person I spoke with via e-mail prior to ordering...He was helpful although...

According to AccurateIT a Refurb A- should get you one with an immaculate screen and some scratches and scuffs on the case (no cracks). So hopefully you are not anal retentive about some case damage... If there is something wrong with the screen (I know I read it in this thread somewhere that...

I would seriously consider getting the HP for $499 it is the exact same monitor and same grade with a different shell...(and even at $500 the price was starting to get up there). Also, in response to your question on needing to adjust convergence, color, focus, etc. I remember seeing on their...

I think a lot of peoples tastes are the same (except for the non-widescreen bit)...its just the plain and simple fact that no amount of consumer want is going to make LCD's get any better. I think LCD's are getting close to the peak of what is possible with the technology and until we have...

Well he delayed shipment again :(. Yesterday he told me it was scheduled for today and now he said its scheduled for monday....I guess it is better this way so it does not have to sit in a Bax Global truck in the cold over the weekend....but still I was expecting it on monday....

It would seem like it since manufacturing ended in 2003...

well the service manual seems to have disassembly pretty well covered....I have done other plastic projects with duplicolor vinyl dye....it is awesome stuff because all the preparation needed is a good cleaning and then you just spray on even coats and it is absorbed into the plastic and is...

I found the monitor calibration wizard on my own after searching for 45 minutes. I was going to post it myself as my own discovery but good thing I searched first or I would have looked like an idiot :p. It works BEAUTIFULLY with every game I have thrown at it and it is fully functional in...

refurbished... I think once the warranty is up I am going to disassemble it and paint it flat black with some of that duplicolor vinyl dye....
