That’s what I thought, Plasma and LCD TVs no way. But LED TVs are so clear, it is awesome.

#3562

#3563

#3564

If thats the way you think Cabby, no cheap pirated DVDs and illegal fireworks from Hong Kong for you…

#3565

:mellow:

I remember going from a 19in to a 24…nearly blinded me. I used to run the HDMI out to the 50inch on occasion and play with a wireless setup…SO BIG

7970 is looking like a beast 15-25% over the 580, roughly 40% over the 6970, and its cooler, chews less than a 5850 at idle and only a 570 when under load. and its quiet until you hit 40% fan

Very nice cabby

#3570

I’ve been saving for months :stuck_out_tongue:

Waiting for a 7990 personally tho =D

edit: Was eating breakfast looking at those benchmarks, and I literally spat out my cereal (away from my PC luckily).

#3571

i’ll stick to single core cards, i’ve had 9800GX2 was nice, but i prefer single core for stability etc.

#3572

certainly is food for thought … will be seeing what pans out with my situation :slight_smile:

#3573

yeah, im keeping eye on 7 series too

#3574

I only bought a 6950 to fix the issues my GTX480 was having with Frostbite (in MOH & BC2).

#3575

Had both Ati/Nvidia over the passed 2 years i’m gonna definitely stay with the green team…Better drivers/physX/ and generally more compatible with current games imo…:wink2:

#3576

In my experience Mac, its been the exact opposite. But I suppose I might have been lucky/unlucky with AMD/NVIDIA.

#3577

Ive certainly had alot less issues running nvidia than ati/amd. From 4850s to now my most enjoyable cards have been the 460s and now 480s

#3578

Definitely a firm Nvidia supporter for dual card setups, but I’ve also had success with AMD in gaming builds for friends. For automated refresh rate changes (going from 24Hz - 50Hz - 60Hz), the CCC makes life easy which is why I prefer AMD graphics cards in HTPC builds.

Been reading this one for a little bit - Bit of poor form by gigabyte.

When you start overclocking the mofsets on a few giga boards pop. They a re offering a recall/replacement -
