ya a bit dimmer as well there are noticable streeks up the left hand side of the monitor

card was never shipped I picked it up local everything is good with the seller, I am just not sure why all of the sudden the card stopped working, and if maybe there is some quirk that I am missing.

this is the 2 fan model and unless I have missed it I do not think there is a switch

So I picked up a powercolor 7970 off the forum and I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried putting it in 2 different computers (a gene iv z68 and a gigabyte p67 UD4) and on both it is undetected in bios (says the slot is empty) and if I attempt to use the card nothing displays. the card...

I don't really have a set budget I was going to get a 3011, but i figured I would ask on here if there are any others out there that are as good or better.

I am a bit dated on my monitor knowledge right now and was wondering what is the setup to have right now. I am comming from a dell 3007 with 2 2007s on the sides. My 3007 is starting to show its age so I am looking to buy something new. My main use for the setup for gaming but also a bit of...

hmm the black widow was one of the most solid keyboard I have used, did not care for the macro keys and the shape of the keys on it though. BTW here is a major tip. Stay away from back light keyboards it only takes about 2-3 weeks to learn to type without them and once thats done, you will...

This card should be priced at $95 I don't really think anything more should be said about it. Its preformance is equal to a 6850 which I can buy for $110.

Na, 8800 gtx and the gts 320/640, ati 2900xt 4870/4870x2 and gtx 480 all seem to die a lot more than anything else.

get a 6850 they can be had for 100 bucks, I would never buy an 8800 series card, you run the risk it could die in a month or two.

Desktops prices for the most part have dropped. CPU prices have pretty much been static over the last 7 years with the top of the line being around the 1k mark and the bottom of the line being at the $300 mark. The only thing that might add a bit of confusion to this is that there are a good...

Well red is back on top right now, so I guess they get to brag about it.

I don't know of any laptop with a 4870x2 in it, also mobile parts are not the same as desktop parts.

if you are running a single monitor the 4870x2 is the way to go. 150 is way too much to spend on a 6850 and its not really that much faster than a 4870, I think an x2 would be a 6970 in some benchies (will have to check this though)

I think the bigger reason is there is not really a need to upgrade. It use to be people upgraded so they could play current games. Right now you are upgrading so you can move a setting from 2x to 4x. So spending 500 bucks on something that will make such a small difference seems like alot.
