I have spent several weeks determining which Mobo, memory, GPU and now I am to the CPU. So far I have gotten a MSI Neo2, 2x1gb of Gskill DDR2, and 8800gt or 3870 (haven't ordered this yet). So now I am about to buy a processor. I not looking at hardcore OCing just enough to pretend like I...

Thanks Darren, those answers do help a lot. When is the x48 projected to hit the market?

Bday is coming up in February so I have time to find a good deal on a 8800gt. been reading for 2 weeks and still can't come up with definitive answers to my questions. I keep finding half way answers that only bring up more questions and more forum hunting. So please excuse my questions and...

Seems coupon code is dead

Yes this deal is good enough for me to finally buy the monitor I have had my eye on for 6 months. Ordered mine today with tax and such it was 390, I may have been able to get 30 more off but MEH. I plan on getting a 2407 when they have a good deal and I know I will still be able to dump this...

SLI will turn on, and does so on it's own. It just loads in 640x480 instead of 1280 x 1024. I seem to have better video strength than I did. And yes I did what eVGA tells you in the manual. BUT they don't tell you if you need to have a 4 pin plugged into the mobo above the Cards or not. Seems a...

I will have to try that, though they both list the same BIOS I will update them both to the same one.

I am not a full on tweaker, what is a decent score on 3dmark06 ? I was thinking my score was real real low and that my SLI wasn't working but a friend of mine scored about a 1k and his system isn't too much behind mine just no SLI and no PCIx The official forums don't seem to have much info...

I tried those drivers and it completely hosed my system. I can not get the monitor to show anything unless I unplug one video card, then load drives, then put second video card back in. eVGA 7800gt BFG 7800gt OC (nVidia says this combo works) eVGA nForce 4 SLI mobo 133-K8-NF41-AX (the...

nVidia says that you can use different brands with the 80 driver. I hadn't tried swapping the cards around yet.

I have an eVGA 7800gt and a BFG 7800gt OC, with nVidia says will work together in SLI mode. My setup seems to work, but if I reboot my system it goes back to 640 x 480 resolution. I will try Rivatuner today and see if anything there will help me out. Also I will run a 3dmark test and see if SLI...

one thing I hate about reading reviews.. is finding the exact hardware they are talking about. Anandtech has the OCZ VX value ram in their review on cheap memory, yet I can't find the exact memory anywhere. I am going with the eVGA combo deal at newegg (7800gt and SLI mobo) and after much...

Thanks for the input, I will be ordering the 7800gt today.

thanks, that is what I was thinking. I might later get one of those uber dells, but not for awhile. I am upgrading from a 9800pro AIW so I should see some good increase in framerates.

newegg has a good deal (at least from what I can tell) on buying either a 7800gt or 7800gxt and getting a SLI motherboard for free. 7800gt combo sells for 449 and the 7800gxt for 559, so basically I am looking at $100.00 difference between a gt and gxt. Is the 100 going to make a difference...
