Only thing is that the pretty side is going to face downwards when you put it in your PC.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
The version you are talking about is 10.12 new catalyst control center preview. The regular one can also be downloaded and the size is 99 MB. It has a new antialising mode. I think some minor improvements are also there as I'm getting 6 to 8 fps extra in Battle Field Bad company 2 from my HD 6870.

Seems the most stable till now. CFX is broken for HD4xxx series on most of the latter drivers.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
I have a Sapphire HD5670 (1GB) card driving a 15inch CRT (1024x768/60Hz) monitor. I have this problem, where I am playing Rome total war on high details and the VPU recover resets my GPU, saying my GPU is not responding to the driver commands. First I thought the driver might be resetting it erroneously and disabled VPU recover, but then my game hangs and I have to restart my comp. So I tried updating the graphics card drivers, but still the same issue. While playing the game, I sometimes see small squares covering the whole screen and after sometime it becomes normal. During normal operations i am not seeing any issues related to my GPU. Can you please help me troubleshoot the issue?
Thanks

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
gtx570 costs 20k+ and no point in going for gtx470 with gtx570 around
gts450? what on earth are you thinking with 15k budget?
HD6950,18k btw isint really available yet, have to wait a bitt but highly recommend you wait for it and claw in 3k more
if you are short on patience and cash go for HD6870 costs around 14k

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
There is a high chance that some of the memory locations of your Gfx card is faulty. In my case HD 5770 the same problem occurred with HD 5770 and I had to RMA it.
Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
with zotac gtx470 selling at 14.4k, personally speaking, i would buy it.
though 570/6970 are a lot faster, they are 22k.
6950 is bit faster but is 18.5k.
FORGET 450AMP for gaming.
i dont think 6850 is in the same league as 470.
6870 is ~= 470. it is a good alternative. read some reviews ad choose the card that does well in the specific games/resolution you play.
edit: hd5850 is also a good option. it OC like a F**king beast.
my friend can OC MSI 5850 to 980core easily with voltage tweak.

Try the accelerator on another machine. Else RMA it.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
was browsing the asus website and found these 2 variants of amd 6850
EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5 ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5/V2 ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
the only diff i could spot was the "50% off of TriDef® 3D Experience" on the V2
the specs are also the same
is there any substantial diff. between the two??

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Hi, could someone please elaborate the difference between normal gaming cards and workstation cards like Firepro series.
I'm an engineering student and only good at photoshop, flash as of now. but i believe i'll be working on CAD etc in future, so will a workstation card be of help to me? i'm not much of a gamer but play occasionally, so 2-3 year old games are just fine for me.
i will be buying in the first week of january with a budget of around 8-10k
also, will availability be an issue?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Actually in hardware point of view there is little difference between a Gaming card and a workstation one. It is the driver dedicated to each of the products that make the difference.
Gaming cards dirver concentrate more on single precision Floting point instruction execution speed and hence sacrificing the accuracy. But accuracy is not a main parameter for gaming.
In workstation cards, drivers are optimized to concentrate on double precision floating point instruction executions, hence increasing the performance in rendering, calculations but sacrificing their gaming performance.
A lot of advance users actually hacked the BIOS of a normal gaming card with the BIOS of a similarly powerful Workstation card and used it as workstation card.
