    PSU Diagnostic Tools?

    Hey, what's a good program to test to see if my psu is in good working order? =)

    New Radeon HD 3870 not working properly

    I don't play *only* WoW, I'm just disappointed that the performance of the game I play most is basically the same. I'll see how it is when I get a new cpu.

    Yeah I dunno, it just feels like such a waste of $300. O_O I was hoping to just smash WoW.. its like a minor upgrade over the x1950pro which cost almost the same last year.

    Do you think upgrading my cpu would be a good idea? Is getting an AM2+ cpu for an AM2 board a travesty?

    Yeah I was noticing that -- maybe it's just *horribly* optimized for WoW at this point. My fps in TF2 was pretty good just now.

    It's an x2 3600+, my bad. And no, it's not a bottleneck -- I had an x1950pro for a brief period of time and it outperformed the HD card in its current state by a fair margin.

    Hi all, I just picked up a Powercolor Radeon HD 3870 yesterday, got it all setup, only to find that it's performing basically on par with the X800 Pro I had beforehand. Here's my current setup; Asus M2N-E AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ OCZ Gold ddr2 2GB Powercolor Radeon HD 3870 Antec Neopower...
