Yeah, damn good config by Jas. If budget is constrained to 20k, the 6850 may be replaced with a 6770.

thanks skud

but that extra 1.7k is well spent imo.

 

[Skud]

Sure, but sometimes our pocket just doesn't permit. And what about that RAM? Another 2gb would have been better.

 

[Cilus]

^^ Skud, Ram, HDDs can be added anytime but CPU, mobo can't, even the SMPS also. So while purchasing a budget system, one should concentrate on cpu, mobo and psu. 2 GB ram is sufficient for the system and it will run smoothly. If more requirement there then another ram can be added without issues.

 

[Skud]

OK, got the point.

Is it worth overclocking 2X HD6990 in CrossFire Mode????

If you want to set 3d marks record, yes, if you want to play games(on triple monitors) hell no.

You mean 2 physical cards or one. One 6990 has 2x cores all ready.

I have a XFX 8400GS on a Gigabyte G41 chipset motherboard running a Pentium D 3.4GHz with 2 x 1GB DDR2 533 RAM powered by a VIP Gold 400W PSU.

Today I was watching a simple DivX movie and suddenly the video froze and audio was like krrrrrr... I tried alt+ctrl+del but nothing happened. The mouse and keyboard had also frozen.

Upon re-booting, the display showed the POST text in weird colors and Windows 7 loaded in VGA mode.

Tried restarting and the same thing happened. Removed the GFX card and booted with onboard video and everything works smoothly. Is my card dead?

U got 2 options,
1. Try re-installing the GPU
2. Try the GPU in some other PC.

If the above 2 options fail, i'm afraid they are...

At wat price range? Or atleast @ which resolution?

 

[Piyush]

Tried re-installing the card and starting the system that way. The POST messages remain in weird color and Windows 7 loads in 640*480

Mention ur budget..

 

[Tenida]

If you can spent 2-3k more you can get gtx560 ti over normal 560.GTX560ti perform better than gtx560.

Forget about the 550Ti. And quote your budget and SMPS as suggested.

why turn aa and af off?

 

[Skud]

Particularly AF, which has very little impact on current-gen cards.
