Picked up 6870 local but no way to test until psu gets here.
Just got logisys 550w power supply. No 6 pin connector.
Newegg charges $3 restocking fee + $ to ship back. So I'll only get $10 back if I return.
Going to keep it for back up.
Its too late to cancel. I'll play with it and return if it doesnt workout.
Found 6870 for $100 on craigslist. Going to pick up tonight. Now need to find better cpu and deal on memory.

Try to spend most of money on cpu/mobo everything else can be added later on(mem,hdd,vga) but mobo And cpu needs to be replaced
Go to nvidia and let us know
nvidia also has problem right now
gpu usage going up and down all over
my 460 and 470 uses only 50% in sc2 and drops down to 405mhz(2d clock) automatic
I get flicker too its the driver
card underclocking it self and gives flicker
i tested with 3 different gtx460, gtx465, 5850
in 2 different mobo, 2 different psu
fresh install of windows 7 too
i think hardware conflict too
some people fine with the card and some dont
try new beta driver...
Performance increase is good but this driver did not fix stuttering in game.
How long has fermi been released for?
New driver fixed flickering but still stutters and downclocks to 405Mhz.
handful of people still having problem at nvidia forum too.
90fps to 40fps...huge drop
I own 465@470 ref design cooler.
Once that fan hits 70% or higher you'll hear it for sure. Its like hearing hair dryer when its at 90%.
I had Asus 5850 and it was dead slient.
performance vs loudness.
You pick.
If you do pick 480, try to get with aftermarket cooler.
Don't listen to...
finally found problem.
I went through 3 gtx460 and now gtx465@470
My core clock drops to 405 and 608 in the game.
My power setting is at maximum setting and I've reinstalled windows and driver.
I get flickers whenever clock drops to 405 or 608.
I thought other parts were causing the...
I have read about gtx470,480 being hot but didnt know it was going to be this hot.
anyway I'm happy with performance and fan mod(too hate cant do fan mod in sli)
gtx460+100 for gtx480 is good deal
however
i went gtx460 to gtx465@470 yesterday.
I increased 2000 points on my 3dmark vantage but noise/temp is unacceptable.

Trying to get 2 to be main and 1 extended to left 3 extended to right.
I cant drag monitors like ATI CCC and if I try to reconfigure dvi cables around didnt help.

Its really weird problem.
tested msi gtx460 and ran fine(it was getting me nvidia driver has stopped responding error)
so added gigabyte gtx460 to sli.
Now I;m getting nvidia driver has stopped responding error in sli surround.
Cant even run 3dmark vantage

Some how my MSI GTX460 is getting this problem
but gateway GTX460 is not having problem.
Both stock no oc. So i thought its hardware.
Even my last good working gtx460 is giving me artifacts in sc2 so 3 out of 3 for defective cards......
Need to find different retail store.
test out the cards.
I have gtx460 sli myself and ran into 2 defect cards out of 3.
msi gtx460 giving me driver error(nvidia driver has detected problem.....etc)
gigabyte gtx460 giving me constant flash and lose signal to monitor.
Also new build from ground up.
Test out cards one by one.
I'm still having problem.
I'm keep thinking its power problem but I just got new power for it!

My screen goes blank and comes back on in mid game of SC2.
I tried reinstalling drivers...
They got profile but no hotkey to change over quick.
Also in extend mode, u cant reconfig ur display to match ur screen so have to swap out dvi plug.
It works in surround but not extend mode.
Im still waiting on ergotron stand and ran into problem upgrading current system.(5850 to 460sli) so didnt have time to work on it
Ill take picture of my monitor naked when i get back.
I was surprised how thin it was inside.
you can easily build one if u get right monitor. I bought 3 22" IPS monitors from korea(no name brand)
Opened it up and it had LG panel. All 4 side had only 1/8 metal bezel.
Need to fabricate box for circuitcards and mount.
Bought ergotron stand and plan to build box and mount in few weeks.
