Only reason i have a i7 rig now is because i got some sweet deals on some used parts! I got my i7 860 and my P55-UD6 for a little over $300...
Yeah those temps are fine. Pretty close to what mine gets.
It depends on if my 470 is still keeping up by then or not, also what AMD/ATI might come out with by then. I'll by whatever gives me the most bang...
I'd say find a cheap 470 and OC it. You can find 470s going for less than the retail price of 460s if you look around.
Whichever you get, make sure its the 1GB model. The 768MB 460 isn't worth it at all IMO, its not just less vram, its a narrower memory bus, and...
I say just keep your 470, OC it a little more (750 or so would be good), and enjoy having the same level of performance of a stock 480/570 for...
Your mobo you have now should already support the X4 965. I'd just pop a 965 in it and get some decent clocks out of it, should be enough to get...
Looks like a great card IMO. It performs virtually identical to the 480 while using less power than the 470 which i think is pretty darn good for...
I'll have to give DA a try and see if i get that problem. Last i played it was back when i had my 4870. I haven't noticed that problem with any...
Yep. You can easily max out the voltage settings in Afterburner as long as it stays cool enough. What are you using as your stress test? I'd...
I'd say a 9800 or GTS 250 would be your best bet right now. I was kind of dissapointed when i tried running my old 9800GTX for PhysX with my...
My old 4870 was giving me trouble at 1920x1080 with a couple newer games. Like said above, it all depends on what res your using.
I'd say a GTX 460 or a 6850 would be your best bets for some good gaming.
I haven't actually noticed much of a performance loss with it on with my 470. I just leave it set to the "quality" setting in the Nvidia CP and...
I would imagine so. Every new driver release seems to bring a few percent increase in a couple games.
That got me when i first installed my GTX 470. Found that tip on a another forums and its worked fine ever since. Check your temps though, i...
My 470 is set to 1.025v stock which gets me 725Mhz with Afterburner/OCCT GPU test running for 1+ hour. I can go to 750 on stock volts in games...
My 4870 1GB is still kicking with 1920x1080 pretty well, though it is starting to show its age with some new games which i either have to drop...
I use both nearly everyday. I actually own two Mac's (both G4 Power Mac's running OSX 10.4, one of which i'm posting this from) and three PC's....
Try running Memtest on them and see if you get any errors. You could also try upping your MCH volts a little bit since 4 sticks puts more...
