I think you may be right, but heck I'd still like to try it! Maybe I'll crossfire in a second card... hehe However, very odd things going on. So we now know my converter isn't active. BUT it will let me eyefinity two monitors together. As the converter wasn't active I thought I'd put...

Ok the card is a Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1Gb DDR5 PCI-E. The box says it can do three monitors. DUAL DVI-I/HDMI/DP The converter is a startech displayport to dvi video converter model dp2dvi2 What is the difference between DVI-I and DVI -D? With my DVI montior on the displayport (as my...

Ok so I bought an StarTech display port to DVI video adapater. I have one dvi monitor a 20 inch Samsung Syncmaster 204B. It's an odd size (20.1 I think) and two 17 inch vga screens (a dell and an LG FLATRON L1730S) All three monitors can be pushed to 1600x1200, but 1280 by 1040 is the 17...

Ok so I'm replacing the TIM and ARGHH problem... I have some mx-3 with which to do this. Now all the memory chips have what look like pads or tape, connecting them to the heat sink. I'm unsure what to do about them, the gpu is fine to use the mx-3 on but if I remove these pads there will be...

it's a display port... oh oh oh.. does that mean I need some cable that plugs into it? Or do I need to dig out what else came in the box with my gc?

Right, well sadly I just watched some eyefinity vids on YouTube and well now I'm all giddy about it! So I have a Radeon HD 5770 in my main pc (just one) it has 2 dvi-d outputs and 2 HDMI on it. So I'm asking does anyone know if it can support more than 2 monitors? Also do they have to be...

sorry wrong sub forum... please delete

Put the Seasonic in the old rig and test it there... or put the 500watt in the new rig, with the new card and see if that works... Otherwise it's the slot. It is odd that the old card works in your new rig, but the new one doesn't. That's why I'm confused about the pcie slot. but your new Gc...

but that could blow his other psu? That gpu draws a full 219 watts on its own! I'm not convinced his 560x is doing enough. How old is the 560x psu brand new or older? Also your board specs, suggest the bios automatically adjusts the PCIe speed, depending on the card installed and which...

compressed air.. hmmm.. I'm often accused of being full of hto air but that ain't the same is it? I'm gearing up to replace the Thermal paste, and I'll do what I can for the dust. It's just I can't find anything, not on Nvidia's site or on XFX force about the temperatures the gpus are built...

Ok So I've had this card for several years now and it's always run on the warm side. However, while torture testing the system (prime95 running with 3dmarks06) the graphics card hits 100 Degrees C and set off the alarms I set in realtemp. It idles at about 78 degrees. Even with the fans set...
