Have and old E8600 duo @ 4.0 Ghz with a 4870x2 in a water cooled system. Because of economy, building a completely new rig is out of the question at this time. What vid card would be compatible (not be cpu limited) in the current build and provide high to ultra high settings in the newer...
The start of our economic destruction was the ill conceived war without reason. All the bumbling since is equally shared. Internet sales tax just another nail.

Started out life as a Stacker single loop. Then with the heat from the 4870x2 went to a dual loop with the PS relocated to the loop box stand. Disconnect a few electrical connectors and the vid card...
Little more info and discussion thread. Stand constructed of aluminum 1/8" plate.

top loop before bottom loop box
That is coming in handy! Had the problem again when went back to game third time and did that and everything OK. Thanks for the tip.
UPDATE: Still having the intermitant problems needing the Alt-enter and AMD/ATI replied back and said to do the driver cleaner again and reinstall using the...
I am using the 4870x2 and after getting all the game settings set at enthusiast and resos at 1600x1200 in Crysis Warhead, I am truly impressed. I would read the article on HardOCP on the cards and then decide.
Thanks. Going to try the in game settings as suggested. The monitor is a professional graphics monitor with 2048x1536 max resolution @ 160hz so it should display 1200x1600. Have no problems in other games. Just Crysis Warhead. Thanks again. Going to try your suggestions.
Don't really know what...
Really appreciate your suggestion. The only problem is that is just a very small corner of the game screen (ie if you click all over it it will finally post the credits). That is the only link you can get on the screen. I may try it anyway, but when it does lock on the reoso set, every time you...
Long story to this point, but right now can load game and set all settings except resolutions. If I set anything but desktop set by game I get a small portion (size varies on resos set) of games first screen on the upper left of my monitor (ie does not fill the monitor). No problems with any...
I bought an 860 to give me more room in my new case modified for fluid cooling (Putting the longer 1KW in my air cooled case). Seems no louder than the 1KW and works well so very happy with it. Been Using PCP&C exclusively except for one OCZ I bought when they first came out with their own model...
