I saw it this morning with my wife and daughters. It was a typical Marvel film, nothing that great, and certainly not terrible. I'd give it a B... Though Jackson as Nick Fury was pretty amusing. Saw Aquaman about a week ago. About the same, or maybe just a bit worse (B or B-)

Actually that's built into Android now. Go to settings->Sounds and notifications->Do not Disturb->Allow Exceptions->Phone Calls and "Calls and messages from Contacts only"

The fan on my 5970 has started making hideously loud noises when oriented normally. (If I turn the case on the side so the fan isn't being pulled down by gravity, it works just fine) My card is out of warranty, so I can't RMA it. Does anyone have any suggestions for either a new place to...

Actually, I meant the $20 MIR. The 10% ebay coupon code worked fine at checkout...

My wife got one of those 10% coupons, so she ordered this for me. Anyone know where to find the rebate form? I just got the 3008WFP a week ago (before the 10% coupon arrived), and I can't wait to pair up my two new toys! This 30% eBay deal is just incredible. We're normally quite...

The most important thing to consider is what you're going to be doing with the card... Web browsing? Photoshop? Games? If so, which ones, and at what resolutions? Without that information, it's really difficult to make a real recommendation. If you're not getting the performance you want...

Barring nifty stickers they put on the cooler, yes. Right now they're all reference boards. One swith custom cooling and other minor changes should be coming along in about a month, I'd guess.

I'd have to recommend the 4870x2 just for future proofing. At worst with it, you'll get 4870 performance, which is reasonably close to the 280GTX. At best, you'll crush the 280GTX. The difference between these two outcomes is largely driver dependent. Games that are coming out in the near...

Yes, that's my only concern with trying out this 30" as well. Doublesight's return policy requiring 7 or more dead pixels seems harsh... I hope yours arrives perfect!

Yet another +1 for not worrying about the Physx support and just going with the 4870x2. Superb card for the resolution at which you play. It's a beast!

That's correct, it does. It's the only one of the major selling 30" brands to have this feature natively. Of course, you could always get a new monitor stand that has pivot and do the video flip with the driver...

I think my wife would make me buy two of them. She's quite the Starcraft nerd, even to the point of having a plastic model of a hydralisk on her desktop at AMD. (She's Hannah the Hydralisk.)

I'd agree completely. I've used drivers from ATI and Nvidia for many years now. Rarely have I had a problem with either one... But they've both messed up about the same amount.

Run 10e! It's a trap! Ack, too late!! :cue explosions:
