Thanks to all of u :) . Looking at 6950's and water blocks and will post back with results etc. Thanks again !!!

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.

Nice

The pics are posted here http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1033285068#post1033285068 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. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1033285111#post1033285111 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...

Have purchased from Directron in the past and have been very happy with them.

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...

Someone will have to move it?

Converting this air set-up to fluid cooling. Using a new case to mod so down time is minimized. Going from this set-up to this (The hard drive cage to left has the rivets filled for the front window similar to the original case). Color is black cherry metallic and Purple UV fluid is planned...

All I can say is its on very high settings, it plays fast enough to be enjoyable, will need a new next gen vid card to play at really high resos. The graphics are fantastic and so has been the game play so far. Very happy with the game!!!!! Just my experience. It does push the system!!

Have an [email protected] gaming setup and just built a Whole new [email protected] rig with 4gigs of ram and Vista 64. Keeping the FX57 for the older games and any that run better on Winxp.

Just finished my first paint job after much on line research and talking to a paint shop. If the color coat is non metallic you sand to get out the orange peel. I used 400 between coats and then sprayed the clear coats with 600 between. The finish clear coat was sanded 600, 800, 1000 but on...

Used duplicolor auto paints for trim and Krylon paints for interior. The auto paint color is garnet metallic red and the case is burgundy (with red lights on it matches trim color). Disasembled case and sanded with 400 sandpaper. Used duplicolor self etching primer on all parts (not plastic trim...

Getting case ready for 1Q07 build. Painted inside case burgundy that with case lights on matches red garnet outside trim. Modded case and hard drive cage for front window to show off the windowed Raptor. May do something to the bay sides where window located. All coats wet sanded and clearcoats...

Appreciate the suggestions. It appears Prey may corrupt the drivers as I reinstalled the 91.33's and everything seems to be running fine now. Got my SLIx8 setting and 1600x1200 resos back without any apparent problems.

Get pretty far into the game then freeze, black screen and re-boot. MS error report shows serious error vid card driver (using 91.33) and/or set hardware accel back. See problem similar on other forums with no consistent solution. Tried setting nVidia SLI control to nVidia auto select and SLI...

I played through the demo and then picked up the game yesterday (pre-order). So far has been better than Doom III (graphics and game development). Not a real break through, but different and so far fun. Had one crash where hit the spirit button and got an error that vid driver causing a problem...

Had mine several years now and really like it. There are a few isolated games where have not been able to configure such as Oblivion, but most games work extremely well with the Claw. Really is comfortable of extended use. A friend of mine got one about the same time I did and he really likes it...

Yes they are for the X-F1 cards. There are some for older Creative cards, but evidently you can't enable OpenGL in audio in Prey with those cards even with the new drivers. Just got through the Prey demo and what a ride that is.

Drivers working fine on my system. Noticed marked improvement in fps and graphics in Oblivion, HL2E1 and Sin E1. Also downloaded the Creative 5/30/06 beta drivers optimized for Prey and noticed good sound improvement overall.

It must be my set-up (I see others with the X-Fi fatality on this thread with no problems?), but it doesn't play well with my X-Fi card. Sin Emergence sound stutters. Went back to the 84.83's and all is well. Did like the control panel though.

No I don't work for Monarch, but have had the best experience with them over the last two and one half years. Prior to that I was into the cancel this order and reorder thing, but found like posted above that you just get bumped down the ordering line and actually received some merchandise later...

The XFX bar runs the full length of the outside of the card and at 490 runs considerably cooler than at 529. Since these cards have a lifetime warranty even OC'd, kind of want to leave it on to keep the waranty intact. But your suggestion is a good one.

That new Zalman works pretty good too, but would not fit on my XFX cards with the heatsink bar installed. Mine run 68C-71C OC'd under heavy Load, but I have a 120mm window fan pointed at them, You can just see the top of the bottom vid card fan (run two filtered 120mm's, one for CPU cooler) in...

Good Job! How hot does your vid card run at those settings (ie ones in your signature)?

Agree, and think your scores are pretty good. What were the different scores when you run the bench 3 or 4 times in succession (overall and CPU)?

slackerjack-- Not having that problem in COD2 at 1600x1200 with settings maxed. What CPU/vid cards are you running?.

Once I read about the requirements for FEAR, I put my SLI together and very happy I did. Although my 6800 Ultra system still plays it relatively fast at desktop resos and max settings, but it does not look as good or run as fast as the SLI. Just saw the quad SLI mobo boards. Its getting more...

Should have been more clear. My work computer is a home based computer I keep and do all my home applications on so my Gamer is free of software. My actual work (business located computer) is all updated etc by company ITT. Sorry for confusion.

My first MS Winxp Pro update October 12 morning had 10 updates. After that finished had two more for a total of 12. Then updated my gamer system in the evening with 9 total. It appeared the updates changed throughout the day (possibly corrections???). Noticed that my Ad-Aware SE program was...

Yeah, I am in awe of what these things will do. Still can't believe the 3DMark 05 scores!!

Good news! You may be able to go to 525 and 1400 plus on the memory. These cards just keep clocking, if you have enough case cooling to prevent heat build up in the case.
