    Video cards for running 2 2560x1600 monitors

    Just want to make sure you know that Revit runs on Direct X, so those Quadro gpus will do nothing for you except take more from your wallet. The only thing those workstation cards do better is OpenGL, which is not the case for your software. Now some argue the support is better.. Not in my...

    Eyefinity(widescreen) vs 30'' - general desktop use?

    I work with 2 30's and most of my time is spent looking at the main screen. I don't know if a third screen would be very beneficial to me. So, maybe it would be best to have a 30" and a 24 on the side. Though, it won't work great with Eyefinity, it is probably the cheapest and most optimal for...

    Strange green lines with an ATI 5850 and Dell 3007WFP

    I believe this is a connection quality issue, as in the card DVI connection itself. I had this issue with a couple 8800GT's and some HP LP3065's. Changed to some 4850's and the problem went away. I can't remember who, maybe it was Hard OCP, but I believe they did a study on the signal quality...

    Question about 9.12 CCC & Hotfix CCC

    Since you mentioned work in your other thread, just leave it how it is for now and make sure you get your work done. After that, do a complete re-install of your OS, as you shouldn't have such issues when installing drivers. ATI drivers should install over each other without any trouble. If you...

    HD5870 Benchmark request

    I'm not sure- I'm trying to figure out what effects this benchmark the most as it is supposed to give me an idea of how the software I use for work will perform. I'm finding that a GTX 285 gets beat by an HD4850. So, it obviously is not all about the GPU. With the 5970, as far as I know, the...

    HD5870 Benchmark request

    Change your CPU speed and see what happens. 4.3Ghz vs 3.4Ghz is a big difference for this benchmark. Although, your numbers do seem lower than they should. Did you make sure to uncheck the options for "Run at native resolution" and "Test all Monitors"? It should run at the standard 1024x768

    HD5870 Benchmark request

    Thanks. Anyone else getting the same results? Benchmark seems to be very CPU dependent. So, I wouldn't expect much variation unless your CPU is at a much different clock.

    HD5870 Benchmark request

    Can someone with a HD5870 run the Microstation benchmark for me: http://appsnet.bentley.com/mstnbenchmark/MstnBenchmark.exe Quick and easy. Just uncheck both options before you run it and when it finishes just save a local copy when it asks you and post those results for me. Only takes about...
