    Newegg + 4870 = 4850?!?

    I would give them a +1 if they had shipped yesterday, but it looks like to them over night means 2 day. Now I get to wait till Friday. Which really sucks, because I have to leave for a business trip this weekend and wont be back until next Thursday. The guy I talked to was Peter. He said he...

    Newegg + 4870 = 4850?!?

    I just got off the phone with newegg ( I had to call them again ) and we worked out a deal. They are going to upgrade the card to a 4870 1GB, pay for over night delivery and refund me $50. The manager I spoke with was nice and as long as I get the correct card this time I will be happy.

    Newegg + 4870 = 4850?!?

    I ordered a HIS Hightech 4870 512MB GPU and other equipment on 1/21/2009 from newegg. The packages arrived 1/23/2009. Fast shipping, but wrong card! They sent me the discontinued HIS Hightech 4850 512MB GPU (H485F512P). I called them and they RMAed it for free and had me order another H487F512P...

    Are the 2x00 series able to output 1366x768?

    Most of the time the limitations on resolution are not a result of the graphics card, but are a limitation of the monitor. Page 52 of the manual has a table of all the resolutions that are supported by the Samsung LE32R87BD...

    PCie HD Capture Card?

    Personally I like the AVerMedia card. I have the Beta QAM drivers and the Clear QAM stations are awesome. My only complaint is that local affiliate stations cause VMC to crash. However, Discovery HD Theater, Universal HD, TNT HD, ESPN HD, ESPN2 HD, A&E HD and NESN HD don't crash. So I think...

    AVerTV Combo PCI-E x1 TV Tuner = QAM in WMC!

    I have also read that if you us both PCI-E 16x slots it disables your PCI-E 1x slot. However, if you have any other PCI-E slots greater then 1x the PCI-E 1x card should be compatible with that slot.

    can a x800 handle 1600x1200 in WoW?

    That will work fine. I can play with a 9800 PRO @ 1280*1024 no problem. So that x800 shouldn't have a problem doing 1600*1200.

    No Display During Startup

    I understand what your saying. However I can't get into the bios because I never see the Compaq Splash Screen. The WinXP loading screen doesn't even display. The first thing to display is the Login-On screen. Which is weird because I've never seen something like that before from a cold-boot.
