Final answer on this issue was that it was dying hardware. I didn't bother underclocking the card because I was also getting some driver crashes when I was playing as well and I just decided to ditch AMD altogether and go back to an Nvidia card. I picked up the 560Ti (not the 448) and things...

Unfortunately I pulled a big fail and I don't think I registered the card after I bought it and I've owned it for about 2 years 3 months.

I have a similar issue with my 5870 HD and posted it in this thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1658870 Do any of the images there look similar to what you're seeing with yours?

I've tried it in both DX9 and DX11. I just ran the Unigine benchmark and it seems to point to a dying card possibly. When I first started the program it would flicker and distort the screen right away for the 5-10 seconds (I tried to SS it but the SS came out black). I stopped and started it a...

I run WoW full screen and the card is an XFX 5870 HD. Pretty sure it's reference. I don't believe it's factory OC or anything like that. I'll try that benchmark tonight.

If you zoom in on the second two pics you can see what looks like stuck pixels. I'll try to edit the pics in a bit and circle some of them.

I've got a strange issue that's crept up a couple weeks ago and I can't figure out what it is. I suspect it's my card but I thought I'd post a couple pics for opinions. Trying to keep myself from rambling on too much but here's a few things I've attempted trying to resolve this: I've tried...

My board was DOA. New PSU and the g.skill couldn't even get it running. I've RMA'd it and I'm going to see if I can get my 930 up and running with the ASUS P6X58D Premium instead (assuming there's nothing wrong with the CPU)

At the time you posted this reply I was actually doing just that .. no luck in getting any further however. I removed the CPU and put on AS5 this time instead of the thermal paste that came with the True Spirit. Well the Antec 900 case I'm using doesn't have a speaker that I know of...

Well my issue is not related to the power supply. I went to Best Buy and picked up an identical Corsair just to be sure. Initially after going back and looking at things again I thought I just made a noob mistake because I didn't plug in the ATX12V. When I plugged that in though I there seemed...

Reading through thread again I found the post on page 9 from EliteComputerBuilds having success with the G Skill memory. I ordered some up hoping that it's the Corsair causing my trouble. I'll have two types to troubleshoot with at least when it gets here. I'll probably be motivated enough to...

I just got this board and I can't even get it to boot into BIOS. Here's what I'm trying to boot with: Core i7 930 Corsair TX750W PSU Corsair XMS3 1600 6GB (2GBx3) ATI 5870 HD 1GB That's it. It doesn't come up to BIOS or any video signal. I'm getting power on the board. The overvoltage...

LOL .. I stand corrected .. 5870s .. sorry it was early.

Ugh .. just wait for newegg to get in stock. I'll never buy from ZZF again based on their crappy ATI 9870 debacle. Put it on the site for sale .. charge everyone ... oops sorry backordered for a week. WTF. Then it took them over a month to credit my card back. Zip Zoom FAIL!

Well that's pretty disappointing. I've called and canceled my order as well. That's the last order I'll be placing through ZZF. I'll wait for Newegg to get it in since I'm screwed now anyways.

In for one XFX from ZZF as well. I hosed up my verified by visa PW and was still able to get one even after calling in to reset it :P

I don't own an Ipod (or any other portable music player for that matter :p) but I'd agree Winamp is the best. I've tried to replace it but I can't find anything better. Amarok on Linux (ver 2 soon for Windows) is a close 2nd though. Only thing I find Winamp lacking in is a good "party shuffle"...

Just to clarify here .. I was just updating this thread in case anyone else comes across this post in a search of these forums trying to solve a similar issue. I like these forums because there's a number of knowledgeable people that can point out what I might be missing when I'm caught up in a...

It's an old thread I know but just to update this over the last couple months... I did go back to XP and had no issues at all with sound for the 2 months I ran it. In July I read about a Vista update that fixed issues with stuttering/static sounds. I also got the news about the updated...

I'm not sure you can get a 263N any more new. Most are likely open boxes from people that have returned them due to the lack of the AT-W polarizer. However the 265 is out soon and it's supposed to have HDMI. http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1032681181&postcount=19

I've been playing LoTRO and WoW on this and I've been loving it. I've no regrets with mine not having a polarizer. I even got crazy and celebrated the announcement of Diablo 3 and cranked out some 800 x 600 D2: LoD goodness all day today. Andarial will die tomorrow! :p

I was considering using the "it's too bright for my eyes" argument to send mine back and score a 265W if it came with a polarizer. However if DS support is saying it's not going to, it sounds like the "polarizer lottery" will just continue. It's not worth sending it back for a new logo badge and...

I called their tech support (888.897.8869) and was pretty happy that you don't have to go through a menu system and a rep picks right up. Might be quicker to dial them up. I was feeling out the waters on what the 265W was gonna ship with (polarizer or not) and when. Still not sure if I want...

I'd not bother with it if you're gaming. I'm not sure what you're budget is but I went for the DoubleSight 263N. It's couple hundred more, but worth it IMO (even without the polarizer). There's a new model due out in the near future as well, the 265W. I considered the Samsung 245BW but went with...

While I'm not entirely unhappy with mine, post how that turns out. If it's possible to get one with a polarizer I'd ship mine back for one if it wasn't going to be much of a hassle.

Here's some pics of mine in the dark: Didn't quite have an all black background ... from the side not quite all black background from the front return of the not quite all black background from the front blue marble from the side (sorry I must have moved while i took this one...

I'm sitting here messing with mine a bit more. I fired up a DVD in the PC (I don't have any HD players or discs to test with) and it looks ok until I get almost to the 170 degree range. Maybe my lack of HD and the horrendous image I had with the 2408 is making me a lenient on this thing but I'm...

I think that's true as well. That said, UPS took their time getting this thing to me and finally got here about 90 minutes ago. I've got 2408WFP boxed up and ready to send back to Dell. This monitor, although still not quite as good as my 2005FPW is damn close. I was able to get it looking good...

I ordered one from Newegg on Fri (a little reluctantly based on that return policy) and it shipped Mon from Memphis TN. I'm putting it next to my 2005fpw. It's going to replace the 2408wfp I just bought. Hopefully this one looks good next to the 2005. Both are IPS so I'm hopin. /crosses fingers

He's right! Don't ditch both!!

What Omega said. I learned the hard way and bought a PVA first. It's goin back and the DoubleSight has been ordered.

I tried working with Dell support to fix my issues but no luck. They basically told me to send the monitor back for a refund. I've already hopped on the Doublesight bandwagon and hope that it's as good of a monitor as the NewEgg reviews and the thread here indicate.

I trolled this forum for months reading up on everyone's experiences with 24" monitors and made the bonehead move of not investigating what I was using already in my 20" widescreen. I pulled the trigger on the Dell 2408WFP and was thoroughly disappointed. I couldn't figure out how come I...

Ordered mine on the 13th .. got it the 16th .. it's A00. No A01 until mid July. Anyone know how to make this thing look good for both games and on the desktop? I can't get the text as crisp as my 2005FPW (S-IPS panel). If I get it looking decent in my games it's bad on the desktop and vice...

Yessir, tried different speakers, tried the same speakers on my XP box. Possibly an issue with my hardware config and Vista on this particular machine but I'm not buyin a new machine to listen to music on Vista (the gaming and media friendly OS). Kind of disappointing but it's all good. I'll...

I reinstalled from a vista sp1 dvd. sp1 was integrated. I'm not sure why it was fine for a week and a half but it's back to the same old. I copied off the system drive with driveimage xml and I'm putting SP3 on now. I've googled and googled and can't find anyone who's got a fix but I can...

vista ultimate sp1 asus a8n-sli AMD x2 4400+ 2GB ram This is driving me absolutely crazy. I started running Vista on this machine last June (2007) and everything ran fine until I had some issues with the machine and had to reload the OS in January (2008). Even then things were good. I...

I bit on the 9600. Gonna risk the black screen issue for now. I'll feel half as guilty next year too when I upgrade again since it's only $150 :P

I'm asking myself the same question. I've got a q6600 system I'm upgrading to (from a 4400+ X2) and I'm not sure what card to put in it. I don't plan on any SLI at all. Mainly playing WoW and strategy games. I plan on playing at 1920 once I get a 24" monitor. I've narrowed my choices down to...
