    GTX 470 Overclocks

    Have mine at 750 core / 1500 Shader, left memory at the default. Love the Twin-Frozr cooler MSI uses. My old HD 5770 had one on it as well. When I get the time I'd like to see what the card can do with some extra voltage. Didn't even hiccup at 750, pretty warm though .... 820 Revenant...

    HD 5770 cards with non-stock cooling

    That's great, glad to hear you got a good card. :) As far as design differences go, I previously had the GSOD (grey-screen of death) issue on my system with a reference design XFX card. Using the MSI Hawk, I've experienced no GSOD issues at all and the card coincidentally does not use the...

    HD 5770 cards with non-stock cooling

    Hope you can find the MSI. Just got my MSI Hawk HD 5770 1GB the other day and finally had a chance to play with the new card over the weekend. :) Rockin' good card. Install went well, using ATI 10.3 Preview Drivers. Installed MSI Afterburner which was obviously designed by Alexey Nicolaychuk the...

    5770+nice LCD or 5830+okay LCD?

    Just ordered the MSI Hawk HD 5770 for $175 at Newegg. Incredible card, read the review below. Actually read any review, can't find a bad one. Cool, quiet, Voltage adjustable using MSI Afterburner. Military class components, 7+1 phase design to supply better current throughout the card, 1 GHz OC...

    AMD ATI Radeon Dongle and GSOD Issues Addressed @ [H]

    Just RMA'd my HD 5770 for a refund although I'm out the money for shipping, Newegg waived it's restock fee luckliy. Had a GSOD issue as well and it required a memory underclock for the card to be at all stable. Would grey-screen usually within 10 min. of gaming. Tried every fix possible, only...

    Nvidia Geforce/ION 190.38 Beta Driver

    Just looked through the 3 pages of feedback and this driver's feedback doesn't seem to be any worse or better than usual. Some say they're just swell, while others say this or that doesn't work. So far so good for me and AA works just fine.

    What is the Best Single GPU card out?

    Technically he asked for a single-GPU card, not a single PCB card. You assumed single PCB, I assumed he doesn't want to mess with SLI/Profiles or deal with the cost a a dual-GPU card. You could still be right however. I agree with the rest, GTX 285 is of course the fastest for Nvidia, HD 4890...

    You graphics card progression

    I know I'm missing a few and compiled the list from old EBay auctions of mine. Not sure of the order of the first half either. You'll notice a few side-grades as well, but thanks to Ebay it hasn't costed me much and even made a little money on a few of the cards.. PCI/AGP Diamond Stealth 64...

    Which is the best agp card?

    As the others have said the HD 3850 is without a doubt the best, but to answer the second part of your question regarding second and third best you'd have to look to the last gen AGP cards and I tried them all 2 years ago or so. The pecking order went something like this, although I would...

    Vista Ultimate 32-bit and GTX285

    :p I gave-up trying to convince people of this a long time ago which is why I didn't bring it up. On my config under Vista 32 I've used cards with 128MBs, 256MBs, 512MB, and 896MB. The amount of "useable" system ram after boot was always a constant 3.5GB and did not correlate at all to the...

    Vista Ultimate 32-bit and GTX285

    Yes the GTX 285 does, or more accurately anything using a PCI-E slot does. As far SP1 goes just to clarify for a few that asked. If you had 3.2GB of available memory visible prior to installing SP1, you still have 3.2 GB available to use after you install SP1. The only thing that changed in...

    eVGA 285 FTW at the 'Egg

    Yeah, I've had 5 or 6 different EVGA cards over time myself. XFX was always second for me but had to follow the money this time and didn't see myself stepping-up in the next three months.

    Galaxy Xtreme Tuner

    Interesting OC utility from Galaxy just released. Works with any brand card, but doesn't have an OSD and can't monitor temps in sys-tray. It does have vid-card BIOS flashing built in, but only for Galaxy cards. I tried it for kicks, but leaving EVGA Precision installed for obvious reasons and...

    G4saurus Defectus

    G4 = Geforce Saurus = Dinosaur (as they often call something when it's old, in this case old tech.) I'm not saying I agree with it, just explaining that's all. For the record, I'm still usin' and lovin' my GTX 260 Core 216, but hat doesn't mean my funny bone isn't working.

    That was a hoot, but after watching that video again though it kind of makes me sad that the G4Saurus could become extinct within our lifetime. I think it's time for all of us to do our part whether you be an ATI fan or an Nvidia fan. So please give the G4Saurus a chance and buy one, otherwise...

    GTX 260 or GTX 260 216???

    I'd go with the best priced standard clocked Core 216 you can find if the price difference is minimal and then OC it yourself.
