Well, the 7870 didn't blow my socks off. I decided to suck it up and go for the 7950. It was between XFX and Sapphire, and I went with Sapphire.

Well, I agonized over the card decision for long enough. I ordered the XFX 7870 and the HX750 psu. I just couldn't pull the trigger on a $300 card, and I figure that there's no way of picking a "perfect" card sight unseen. I can always RMA if it's loud, slow, etc. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the input. Any thoughts on the heat/noise issue?

Current setup: Case – Antec Sonata 2 with 450w PSU (2007) Board – MSI 890 (2010) CPU – Phenom II X6 1055t (2010) RAM – 8gb Ripjaws (2012) GPU – HD4850 (2008) HDD – WD 640gb & Maxtor 500gb (2008) Monitor – Dell 2407 I wanted to get a new video card, one thing led to another, and now I...

i CAN'T believe no one has asked. <clear throat> link to left monitor wallpaper, please :cool:

thanks for the info. the board only has 3 slots, but i suppose that doesn't matter. would running 1 gb of 2700 be that much slower, considering that the 2x512 would also run at 2700?

i'm trying to squeeze some more life out of my computer. i currently have an NF7-S with an XP2500+ and 2x512 PC3200. i was thinking about adding another 1gb of RAM, but the manual has me confused. it says that the board supports 2 dimms of ddr400 and 3 dimms of ddr200/266/333. does...

that's a pretty sweet base price. got mine a few weeks ago shipped for $666.60. :cool: can any coupons be stacked?

Here's where I stand: i was charged for 2 monitors and my account shows 2 orders. the first one $660, the second $820. i called dell to let them know that i had gotten a second monitor. according to their records, they had not shipped an extra one to me. i called back once i had...

i'm on the phone with them now and they only show that they shipped one. of course, now that i've told them i have two i'll have to send one back. <sniff>

my 2407 arrived yesterday, and fedex just dropped off another one. weird. should I bother opening it? the one from yesterday seems to be glitch-free (sagging stand aside). i'd almost consider keeping/selling it, but karma would surely catch up to me (especially at this time of year). :)

i think it is the only problem. before, it was set up at work and the tilt seemed severe. now that i've got it home it doesnt seem so bad. it's maybe a little more than .25" backlight looks normal, no pixel issues that i can see, banding seems to be gone. i'll have to play with it for a...

sorry if this has been discussed before. couldn't find anything with search. how common is it for one side of the 2407 to be lower than the other? is this a problem with the stand, the screen, or the way the 2 connect? is there a fix or is it just luck? thanks
