6990 is challenging 6970 cfx and 580 sli.
perfect for eyefinity setups.

The reviews are using one driver version(say its 10.10), about 2-3 drivers are launched by ati and a lot of them recently are causing issues, even when game performance is ok other issues crop up, one issue is gpu shows 100% load at idle desktop and so goes full throttle, does not rectify until reboot, another issues is the mouse pointer lags at the right upper corner, and more.

single card is always better and hassle free. multicards dont scale well in all games. and moreover 6990 is challenging that cfx.

but i have a feeling 590 will be better. lets see.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

And I wished I had not bought an ATI card. Gotta buy the 560 Ti, seems to be the best price-performance ratio card.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

@tkin, Thanks.
@vicky, Thanks for your suggestion.
Which SW should I use for OCing? Msi Afterburner or EVGA Precision?
And how will I know know the limit of OC? Say if I wanna OC it beyond 900MHz without effecting the temp of the card.
Thanks in advance.
PS- An article of 560 OC will really help me :)

my dear friend if you see carefully even a 580 sli is behind a single 580 in that review. you expect new games to perform low on sli? so its better to wait for full game release to be there. BTWa 6990 equals a 580sli there.

this card will find buyers going for multimonitor especially.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

6970 looks overpriced, 600$ is ok, but 700$ for a gpu is too much, specially since no taxing games are coming(TDU2 doesn't count), I think everyone having a good gpu(5770/GTX460 or higher) should upgrade to sandy bridge first, I set aside some money for a 570 but I've decided to get 2600k+Z68 in august(afaik that's the time of launch), a cpu upgrade will server better than a gpu upgrade now.

nVidia is even more strict. A GTX580 cannot be SLI'ed to a GTX570. Has to have same BIOS.

Right off the assembly line
Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

I am trying to connect my laptop to my tv.

My laptop has the following graphic card - NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS / Intel GMA 4500MHD and an HDMI as well as a VGA output.

My tv does not have an HDMI input so I tried to connect using a VGA to component (Red/Blue/Green, Y/Pb/Pr) cable but it didn't work.

I am wondering if I could use a VGA to s-video cable since my tv has s-video input. Or any other cable?

Thank you
