Not sure if theres anything wrong with the Black Edition cards or not. Check out this thread http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=855235 Seems that some nVidia users are getting this problem, some not. Theres even a guy with a 4870 that posted the same problem. Anyway, i get...

I'm having the same problem with L4D with my GTX 260. I'm using 182 drivers as well. I've done some searching on the L4D forums and the most common solution among the community is to disable multicore or lower sound quality to medium. I've tried both and no luck. The good thing is that this...

8800GT/9800GT but hold off till april if you can cause once ATI releases their sub $100 40nm chip then the 9800GT price will plummet. fromeo85: your running your 260 @ 756?!?! wow, thats nuts. and i thought my Black Edition @ 666 was a pretty high OC :P

So, this is better than increasing the stock fan speed... how? Back when I had my 512MB 4870 i was idling 80C, load 95C. Then i upped the fan speed in CCC to 36% and my temps dropped to 48C idle and 60C load. I dont know why people are always fooling around with their 4870's. The stock...

I just got a Samsung 2253BW before christmas and the backlight bleed is unbelievably bad, especially on the top. However, backlight bleed has never really bothered my that much so i dont mind. but for anyone who cares about bleeding this monitor would be a nightmare.

Gigabyte FTW. my P45 works great. I dont overclock like crazy tho. a modest 3.0 GHz for my Q6600.

i usually go for a single card setup myself instead of multicard setup. less problems/headaches. plus more memory is always a good thing. when i upgraded to my GTX 260 216 from a 512MB 4870 overall fps did get a little boost but the major thing was that Crysis did run a lot smoother. crysis is...

who cares about the 4830 or 9800gt? go for a 4850. their like $150. which is a pretty cheap hardware upgrade if you ask me. and if you do any type of gaming its a no brainer choice within that price range. i've never had ANY issues with ATI or nVidia drivers btw. i geuss i'm just lucky. last...

hmm, cant hear nothin with my XFX 260 Black Edition

hmm, i thought they kept the cooler the same?

well, normally that wouldnt be a worthwhile upgrade but since your step up will end in 12 days you might as well use it or lose it. Go for the 55nm 260 since its not gonna cost u nothin then overclock it. you'll get the same performance as a GTX 280. So if its not gonna cost u nothin, then why not.

l run an XFX 260 Black Edition right now only because it was the same price as the stock 260 from EVGA at the time I bought it. But i got mad love for EVGA, I've had their cards before and they were top notch. Their customer support is in a league of their own, not to mention a fantastic online...

for a 30" yes. I'd even strongly consider the 295

I run an XFX GTX260 Black Edition and i get 40 idle and 65~71 load. I'm not touching anything, the card came nicely overclocked already and if it one day dies cause of the heat or whatever then its XFX's double life-time warranty to the rescue. Anyway, 60 idle for a 260 is high tho. check...

it takes like 5 minutes tops (anymore and you should get your IQ tested) to register your product. if your too lazy to do that within 30 days then that's your problem. be grateful that your getting a life-time warranty. if you dont like it go buy from someone else and stfu
