Thank you guys for warning me on that ! Too bad I did not get a similar 'warning' on the UPS to be used for this setup :( My APC 500va UPS blew up today noon when I tried to test the battery backup.. Too bad that it died.. Had to purchase a new 1.1kva APC immediately. Supposedly, the...

Thanks to all the kind ppl who have helped me throughout this build :) finally, got the pc assembled yesterday and its now up & running sweet :razz: Looking for a good graphic application/game now to test the limit ;)

I have settled with the gs600 on my new amd rig built yesterday guys.. thanks for all the immense help ! Thread resolved :)

But they would share the same memory or will I have a total of 2 GB memory ?

k.. will do that.. ur take on the 6850 - 6870 that I posted above ?

so, the clock of the CF setup would be the lowest clock among the 2 cards right. ----- Was just reading some reviews on the 6850 & 6870.. most of the reviews have stated that a 6850 would be a better option than a 6870 as the diff. in price is not justified by the diff. in performance ...

I dont think there is difference in the DVI ports.. both the models have dual link DVI's.. n I dont think hdmi = mini display port.. this card has 2 dvi ports, 1 hdmi, 2 mini display ports.

so, coupling this 6870 hawk with a 6850 @ 820 mhz will make it run slower than the actual clock ?

thanks a ton megamind..! :) btw, which are the cards that I can crossfire with this ? (apart from a replica of course)

Could you just let me know how the HDMI support and HDMI output are different ? the 6850 pe had display ports.. while this one has has mini-display ports instead.. Its just that I dont want to miss out on any of the features/connectivity options that are present on the 6850 !

thanks for helping me out on this megamind.. So, in case the hawk is over-priced in chennai, what is the next lower variant that I can fall upon ? Can u list these per their prices ? Is this correct ? R6870-2PM2D1GD5 < R6870-2PM2D1GD5/OC < R6870 Twin Frozr II < R6870 Twin Frozr II/OC < R6870 Hawk

So the R6870-2PM2D1GD5/OC is chipset OC'ed (amd) & the twin frozr is an MSI OC'ed one ? (both running @ same clock speeds though..?) And could u pls list these variants per their prices ?

okay, here is the comparison sheet from the msi website.. unable to post a direct link hence the screenshot... 3rd from left is the hawk.. Notice those NA's next to HDCP support, HDMI support & DVI Dual link support...

Hawk is the 'all' ? So, is hawk the highest variant in terms of price & performance? n still it lacks all the connectivity options that I mentioned above ? @ d3p5kor I had made the above post after looking at the website only.! Just unable to understand the differences R6870-2PM2D1GD5/OC &...

I'm somehow very skeptical about ordering online..! So many things happen even when buying components directly from the store .. so god know what could happen when it ships to me 1500 kms apart with no one to fall back upon in case of problems/issue ! (no point in debating over this point...
