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.

how much would that cost me?

I was switching them out I like 1080p screens. its so I can have a 25m raid in WOW, it just goes to show you don't need friends in MMO's

what kills me about the ibm model M keyboards is how many I threw away over the years :( only to find out they don't get much better.

what money I am a poor dude, living my my parents house. computer stuff is just easy to collect

Why have just 1:D

I need to clean some stuff up, my computers are all a mess right now. BUT I could not pass up a chance to take pic's of my toys :o

If you look at the benchmarks for the 7970 vs the gtx 580 (at stock) then is a pretty decent increase. Also looking at both cards overclocked the 7970 pulls far ahead of the gtx 580. But like I said it's not a card I would be in a rush to buy and I have a strong feeling a refresh will be out...

From what I can tell this is a solid upgrade over the gtx 580 and I have been finding as of late I prefer the whistles and bells that AMD has been offering over nvidia. I don't think this card is worth getting though, the O/C headroom is a bit too much and with it being a new chip design I...

Hey I just picked up one of these and after about an hour working on it I have got everything looking pretty good however I am having a hard time finding a good heatsink that will fit in this case. Does anyone have a recomendation for one, as well has anyone found a way to make coolers like the...

they are the same card just unlocked shaders and a bit higher clock. IMO its really not worth paying more for.

xfx is really not that bad, the only problem I have with them is there techs are a bit on the lessor side. The seem to do things about the same as all the other companies. The only guys that I have ever really had a hard time with was sapphire and thats more because I felt they were belittling...

Everyone loves amd 939 because it was the best cpu at the best time for desktop gamers. Everything was flashy, I went from having my vanilla p4 mobo, to my dfi lanparty board in a case with a window and blue led's everywhere. I don't have any stats but I would guess that right now the laptop...

Man I would buy this if I did not have like 5 17" alienware systems I have to sell. This is a great price and if you want to upgrade to something bigger let me know:)

heat under table21 dollars are almost the same so it does not really matter to me.

still looking

Hey I am trying to piece together a few leftovers i have and I need some S775 cpu's (a q6600 would be perfect but pretty much anything will do) and a few sets of ddr2 800+ ram (im looking for 4gb kits) I live in canada but shipping should not be too much for these items. Heat under = table21

Well the fist one was a guy in Canada, but it still cost me like 5 bucks. The second guy is from the US so i get hit with conversion fees on both sides and it came out to like $30 bucks. $30 bucks is a lot of money to throw away for nothing and thats why I made this tread.

I am looking to see what people on this forum think about a seller changing their mind after payment has been received. This has happened to me twice this month and it is really starting to get to me. A seller has agreed to sell me an item, I have paid for the item, and then a week later they...

Hey I am looking to sell a Gateway 7811-FX gaming laptop. CPU = P8400 Ram = 4GB DDR3/1066 hard drive = 200GB (7,200 rpm) vidoe card = 9800 GTS screen = 1920x1200 Price $999 Also looking for an I7 920 as a partial trade

BUMP, come on guys this is really a great motherboard

USPS charges brokerage as well but its like a $7 fee. These fee is for them to look at your package and calculate out what duty charges should be paid. UPS/Fedex charge brokerage fees as a percent. (with a minimum fee of course). I remember when someone shipped me a computer case from the...
