    Overclocking with the FX-57

    That Big Typhoon is awesome, I've got one and even though installation sucks performance more than makes up for it. Check out some reveiws, and the backplate included with the Typhoon distributes its weight very evenly.

    Dual View Problem with my Nvidia 6800 ultra !

    Dual Monitor and Video Playback

    I've had the same issue with a Geforce 4600ti, 5950 and the 6800 GT. I think the issue is that only the primary monitor gets hardware video acceleration. If you swap which monitor is the primary you should have fine playback on the other screen. I do this to watch TV on my one monitor and surf...

    How does MS feel about ATI's GPU problems

    I'm a believer in Nvidia products and love the fact that ATI has kept up a consistent level of competition in the GPU field for the last few years. I am a little worried about the XBOX360 though. If ATI is actually having as many problems as you all say they are, is Microsoft getting an...

    New Computer - First Time Builder

    Absolutely; things ALWAYS come up and you'd hate to have a brand new component compromised just because you missed something silly. Oh if you can't find someone else experienced just use anyone with a little common sense. Putting together computers can be complicated but it certainly isn't brain...

    Friendly debate with a friend

    i have the same processor and a 6800gt which when overclocked to ultra still gives me noticable performance gains; his graphics card is certainly the bottleneck if he's using a decent resolution

    7800GTX = 24 pp, 450 mhz core.

    True but those PS2 games run at At far less than a third the resolution; i own both games and while they are pretty the gameplay is far more important than the graphics when you play them on the same monitor, which I do.

    Power supply gone bad?

    I've got a similar issue with my 6800gt; how easy was the RMA. Was it with newegg? Did they give you any prospective dates for getting your new hardware? Also I've got a enermax 420w psu 12v line ~12.352 5v line ~4.78 3.3v line ~3.26 vcore line~1.65 all doublechecked with multimeter

    Dual monitor set up question

    I've had a 6800gt where the second DVI out didn't work. Have you tried swapping the inputs/monitors on the video card.

    will an fx 5200 run bf2?

    Yeah my roommate has a Athalon 2500+ with 5200 and 512ram and gets very playable frame rates albeit with all seetings to low, still doesn't look toooo bad. Big difference though between that and a 6800 gt(my rig).
