I'll have to test leaving TF2 at its menu after I get home tonight.
Never deal with Sapphire's RMA process, and according to http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/support/?cid=3&psn=000203 I'll need to bring it back to where I bought it in the first place. Not sure if I can still find the...
Symptom:
The system stays stable for hours in TF2, but within minutes of getting back on the desktop, it will hard reboots.
What I've tested so far, without success:
- Disconnected the two mechanical drives
- Left out 1 of the RAM sticks at a time
- Swapped out PSU for an older unit
-...
I'm in the same boat. Got a bunch of parts on the way but still need to decide on an mATX mobo.
Looking at Newegg there are 4 choices right now. The $125 Asrock board is the only one that doesn't have dual x8 capability (which I want), but it does seem a lot more feature-rich than the Gigabyte...
Greetings.
I'm looking for a power supply for the following build:
C2D E8400 E0
Gigabyte EP45-DS3R
4870 1GB
2x2GB
2xWD6400AAKS
1 optical drive
I'm shooting for max overclock I can get out of a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 - gussing somewhere around 450-500 FSB at 9x multiplier. Not looking...
Personally I think a TV is better value. However, there are more uncertainties with a TV, so make sure that if you go that route, you do some research at places like AVSforum and get the TV from a place that you can easily return it to.
This is - I think - the first blue PCB 4870 1GB out there.
Damn. I just received the MSI one from newegg yesterday. Wish I had waited, as it'd match the EP45-DS3R perfectly. Oh well, at least I get to fill out the $30 rebate.
Recently I bought a Vizio SV42XVT (42" 1080p 120Hz) but returned it for a VO32LF (32" 1080p 60Hz) after about a month.
With the 42" I first tried using it on the desk, sitting 3-4 ft away. For games it's *awesome*, but texts are way too blocky, and you can easily spot the subpixel rendering...
I guess it's basically the same thing as AMD slapping "XP" on Athlon 6 or so years ago - "hey this sounds familiar and kinda cool."
Anyway, yes the 4870 is cheaper, but it also only has 512MB of RAM versus the GTX' 896MB. I've been waiting for the 1GB 4870s to show up (I don't want to deal...
