YUP!

I just bought a 6950; although I've had issues with ATI's drivers over the years, it's been lessened by the fact I play maybe 1 or 2 new games a year. I'd hate to experience what you've went through OP, it wouldn't take me long to just send it back for a different card.

Here's at least part of what you're looking for. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2131377

Thanks man, I've finally figured out with my new computer my Windows partition is only 30GB so I can put a few games on it and still come to less than the 55~ usable GB one of these drives has. In for 1.

PNY has lifetime warranty as well; did you mean "the only good brand" with lifetime warranty? :D

But 6990 is Xfire...

There's no tax on game cards at Best Buy.

Between my ex-wife and I we had a 9700 pro going a good 20 hours a day for 5 years. They don't build em like they use to I guess.;):D

You sure it's your card and not your PSU? I haven't heard a peep about it and I've been looking up 69xx info on a lot of sites lately.

Patriot 1333 DDR3 2GB RAM $24.99 - 15% code DKMEM15 ($3.75 off) $15 MIR and free shipping = $6.24. Pretty Hot prices even for cheapy ram.

Don't mean to threadcrap but there's a $230 AC ASUS 470 with a $30 MIR on the egg. Same price but 20 bucks less out of pocket expense.

I've been running a Q6600/4850 512 MB setup for a couple years or so. Recently I upgraded to a I-760 and I need a new video card that compliments the 30" dell I got for super cheap from an estate sale. I honestly haven't really been much of a PC gamer through the years. About the only games I...

Badda bing.

I'm with you man, all this "3D is the future" is a bummer for us with only 1 peeper.

Good job not even reading the thread and posting year old rumors.

Considering upgrading to a V8 is never free, I don't see what would be so bad about that.

Laughing that I get to play with new computer parts 3-12 months earlier than not upgrading until the new architectures, all while getting rid of my upgrade itch and not losing money like I would going with an I5/I7? Not my idea of funny but w/e, glad to make the world a happier place. My Q6600...

Want to try answering the question or is being a shitbird too hard to resist?

I'm going to part out my Q6600 system and for a minimal to no cost difference I'm thinking about buying a midrange AMD system. I've never gotten great clocks on my Q6600 and I'd like to upgrade to SSD, Windows 7, and I just bought a new case so I'm thinking of going this route until I can see...

Yeah....I have a 30" monitor and I disagree as well.

Superbiz has done this at least 3 times in the past couple months on this drive alone. I think they try to get it out there at that magical $50 "cheapest price ever" area and then raise it a couple bucks once it's on all the deal sites. Kinda sleazy of them imo.

The cpu in question is a dual core, not a quad core. So he's right, in certain games his GPU will be bottlenecked by his CPU.

Damnit, I wish I would have waited on my dads Christmas gift. He would have loved the hell out of this and now I'm too broke to get it, even for his bday.

Finally found a damn good all aluminum case for not much more than $100 after selling the game. Thanks OP.

So you would just toss a benchmark if you don't like the result? Seems pretty damn shady; glad reviewers tend to have more credibility than your average Joe.

Sorry sacks in this thread crapping all over it.

If there's any chance you'll resell your card within the next couple of years I'd go with Asus, Galaxy, MSI, or Gigabyte over EVGA.

Galaxy is quickly coming into that top-tier standing. I'll definitely be considering them for my next Nvidia card.

Thanks for the contest Galaxy.

When has double the card performance every 6 months ever been the norm?

Sapphire sure as heck isn't top tier. Crap CS and charges for RMAs. Also, XFX has has some pretty crappy CS lately for quite a few users over on OCN. Only 2 companies I'd feel safe about going with are EVGA and Asus. Galaxy is working it's way into the top tier as long as they keep their great...

The bottom slot on the Sabertooth is a PCIE 1.x x16 slot, meaning it runs at 2.x x8 speeds. I can't tell if the P6X58D-E's top x1 PCIE slot would have issues with the boards heatsinks getting in the way of a sound card. If so, the Sabertooth is really your only option. I'd go with the...

The 8800 was a huge upgrade over anything that came before it: well worth the price it sold at at release.

I'd go with one of these 3 MBs: ASUS P6X58D-E Pros: Board has been out awhile so more stable. Relatively cheap. Slot layout good for either PCI or PCIE expansion cards when using 2 GPUs. ASUS Sabertooth Pros: 5yr warranty Cons: Poor PCI slot placement for expansion card /w 2 GPUs...

Mistakes are a sign of a shitty company. QC is there to not have mistakes, so I'd be pretty damn pissed too. Funny who comes out of the woodwork when you start bitching about Gigabyte, pretty damn fishy.

Thanks amigo.

What's the coupon?

Probably for the same reason that it's on dozens of website forums. :rolleyes: This place is turning into the inquirer with all the speculation, it's even moving into the articles themselves.
