Wow...been ages since I posted on this forum. Here's some stuff I bought this week: For my primary gaming rig, I purchased an EVGA GTX 470 with a Zalman VF3000f aftermarket cooler. Together, they cost me $240 from TPU forums. Purchased an Asus GTX 470 for $220 from newegg. These are for my...

You could look for the Caviar Blue

HIS Radeon HD 5850. Purchased from ZipZoomFly.com for %269.99

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here. agreed GTX 295 is the fastest. but for a far lesser cost, 2 x 5850s CF perform better.

I am planning to put together a gaming PC and I was all ready with the config etc. I had decided on an intel i7 920, and now all of a sudden I'm seeing reviews of AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2GHz performing equally well, or even better in some cases. Also, both processors apparently OC...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here. availability of the HD5850s and 5870s are really poor everywhere. I've been wanting to buy a Sapphire/XFX/Asus 5850 or 5870 for almost 2 weeks now. The only ones that have some sort of availability are Diamond and Powercolor, but I'd rather not go...

Hanns.G 28 inches 1080p monitor. very happy with it. Its got really great reviews at newegg too. *www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254026

Please suggest a good software that scans my computer for hardware and automatically downlaods the required drivers for Vista/7

i'm not sure, but i'm pretty sure the EVGA E758 has an option of audio passthrough

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here. mostly from amazon, coz I have a prime account there so I get overnight shipping for $4 only.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here. ^^ thanks for the link. after some research, I think I've decided to go for the HD 5870. a single 5870 saves me about $160 over 2 HD5850s. I can use that saved up money to crossfire my 5870 eventually when I feel the need.

@ desiibond: I have the Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speaker set. the thing is, the Z-5500 has an inbuilt amplifier with Dolby DTS processing. I'm gonna send digital signal to the Z5500 (via ToSLINK) and allow the Z-5500 to do the Dolby processing. is the sound card still worth the $150 it costs? i don't...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here. Two quick questions: 1. If i run games at a resolution of 1920x1080 on a 28" monitor, what kind of details (textures, AA, AF) can i expect of the recent and soon to be released games (Modern Warfare 2, NFS Shift etc.) using a single HD 5850 and...
