All he plays is WoW haha. But to answer your other question, I think he wants to just go with prebuilt to save from the hassle. Unless the savings are truly significant then I suppose I could build for him. I haven't built one in years and I recently just ordered from AVA myself to save...

Sorry about that 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc ----Gaming, Browsing 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? ----1000-1100 before tax/shipping 3) Where do you live? ----NJ, USA 4) What exact parts do you need for...

Hey guys, my brother is trying to purchase a new machine for gaming. He understands that 1000 won't get him very far so I was just wondering what would be the best bang for the buck (other than building one) He's been looking at the pre - built Gateways, any opinion on those? Thanks

Hi all. I need to customize the win log on dialog box to support another button. Basically when you press ctrl + alt + delete and the dialog comes up , or when you boot up a windows machine and you have the windows login box - I need a nother button that will basically open up IE. Any ideas?

What kind of fps do you get? Say for instance, in dalaran. Which drivers are you currently using and what resolution do you play at? It seems a number of 4870x2 users are getting some pretty low performance numbers (not unplayable but lower than what one would expect from such a monster...

Tried 8.12's. Still same performance unfortunately. Although the shadow flickering bug is fixed.

Whats ur fps look like ? It seems many of us are getting lower fps than expected with a card like ours.

I have the same issue when using both cores on the 4870x2 - crazy flickering , with shadows maxed. I am currently playing with shadows off.

It runs okay on mine. But I was expecting far better results even though its certainly playable. I play on 1920 with 4xAA (enabled in application) with Vsync OFF - I get around 40-60 fps average - I thought I would get much more. What is everyone else getting?

So I got my monitor "repaired" and I when I got it back the DVI ports were working fine. A month later, The DVI ports stopped working again. Once in awhile I can get it to pick up a signal from my video card (4870x2), but if I restart or change resolutions the signal is lost again. What could...

awesome, thanks OP. Is a full driver sweeper required prior to installin these over old drivers, typically? Notice any difference in the "stuttering" that alot of ATI users are experiencing?

I finally got around to playing Warhead. My specs: [email protected] 4gb Ram Sapphire 4870x2 Vista 64 Catalyst 8.10 I'm averaging around 20-30fps on 1900x1200 on Enthusiast in dx10 - which is a little less than I would have hoped for - so I decided to try dx9 after hearing of better...

Anybody able to test any performance difference for WAR? Specifically the 4870x2?

Helped with frame rates? or what? I would try testing it myself but I'm out of town for a week.

I am running catalyst 8.9's can you force v-sync through that? I thouhgt I read something about not be able to do so - or at least, it not fully working properly. I could be wrong. helps alot in what sense? fps or stutters?

I figured as much. I have a quad running at 3.0 - i figured that would be enough. I'm just a bit worried about what would happen in large scale pvp. i get similar framerates, in scenarios its around 30-40 with some stuttering but i think that is because of ui refreshes (buffs/debuffs) so i'm...

Guys/Gals running warhammer with 4870x2, do you notice low gpu usage? Any reason why this is? I'm noticing roughly 40% gpu usage yet my fps still dips into the sub-30 range sometimes. It's still playable but for the hardware I thought I would get much better fps and hopefully have decent...

It is stuck at this load even if just in windows and not in a particular game? What are you guys using to monitor gpu load?

I've noticed something similar. I do not know if it has anythin to do with my monitor or not but when the 4870x2 goes to sleep and wake up i notice some "waviness" even if i'm just in windows desktop. I remedied this by switching resolution to something other than what i normally use and...

I have a 4870x2 with the official 8.9's , I'm reading about people getting 30+ fps on Enthusiast setting but I can't seem to get that level of performance I have a [email protected] with 4gb ram on Vista 64. Here are my results: DirectX 10 ENTHUSIAST 3X @ Map: ambush @ 0 1920 x 1200 AA 0xx...

Please delete, posted in wrong thread. Sorry!

I am noticing something similar. I have a q9450 @ 3.0ghz 4870x2 4gb Ram vista64 I don't know why my gpu load hovers around 30% for GPU1. It doesn't even touch the 2nd gpu. I only see gpu load on the 2nd gpu when I enable edge-detect AA - I am not sure if this is normal behavior or...

I dont mean to derail slightly but what program did you use to monitor that - The readings on the top left? Thanks

flickers for me in some games, usually goes away when i enable vsync or disable catalyst AI. I switched to a DVI connection for my monitor and it is less noticable now... i think

Anybody with 8.9's have the newly released Warhammer online? And how does it run? With the 8.9 beta's I have to disable Catalyst AI to run smoothly

I recently purchased a Doublesight DS-263N, I had it hooked up to my computer via DVI and it was working just fine, until one day my computer went to sleep and the monitor could no longer detect a signal.. I tried a new DVI cable, and a different port, nothing. So I RMA'ed it and got a...

Hey guys, I noticed that after I wake the computer up from sleep i get these weird wavy lines that eventually go away after a few minutes, I haven't isolated the problem to the card yet but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Also if I try changing to lower resolution it goes...

How does the multiplayer work? They control a character in battles? Is there enough playability to keep another player engaged and is it fun for the other player I am considering buying this game and a second controller

Hey all, Looks like any Dvi connections do not seem to be picked up. It was working okay until yesterday, I left the computer for awhile and the screen was just blank. Currently I have resorted to using a DVI to VGA adapter on my video card to connect through the VGA interface. This is an...

anybody?

New EVGA GTX280 I recieved from a step up for 375$ Shipped. Selling this because I decided to go for a 4870x2 instead. Paypal please. Here are some pics - Sorry if they are bad quality, i used the camera on my phone. PM me if interested!

Hey guys I've been getting a few bsod's while idling. Not doing anything special, I went away for a few days and noticed some dump files. So I put one through the debugger and this is what i got (sparing most of the details). Any ideas? (I'm on 8.8 official Vista 64) DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID...

I can't seem to even get that level of performance with my 4870x2. On Very High no AA I get around 18fps. I haven't been able to figure out why my Crysis fps is a good amount lower than others that I have seen. My 3dMarks scores are okay. I'm on the 8.8's. Hopefully the 8.54's, will help it...

Im at default settings now, I left it as default so I guess that is 27% on idle? I dont even know if it dynamically adjust the fan speed based on load/temp either because I never hear it get louder.. I could be wrong. When I actually did manually set it to 50% though using ExpertATi or...

so the 8.54's that people were claiming were the 8.8betas are actually the 8.9 betas? so they would be.. a more recent then the official 8.8s released a few days ago? did i get that right?

Is this abnormal? My temps are like that as well. Is it "bad"?

I think i had the same issue. Sometimes it will just slow down making it very unplayable. I had this mainly with 8xAA turned on. Im on the 8.8 official too. Let me know if the driver works for you. I am out of town so I can't test myself =/

Speedy, Just curious what kind of FPS do you get for Crysis on VH? and what resolution?

So far, however, the card has given me some problems and I suppose I expected a little more performance out of it, coming from a 9800gtx. What kind of fps are you guys seeing for Crysis? I run the timed demo on very high, 64bit and I am getting 17-18 fps after 3 runs on that island...

Ok I noticed on 4xaa as well yesterday. I am not really sure what happens but it seems like.. the cars just pause and there is a slowdown.. makes it unplayable for a few seconds. I previously owned a 9800gtx and never experienced this. I would be curious to see what others have experienced in...
