    little question about buying

    Just an update. The card sold (several hours later, I didn't have a ton of offers) for the exact same price the OP would have paid. At one point the price was different but it was because I was cutting and pasting the entire post from another forum and forgot that I didn't change the price on...

    little question about buying

    This and the fact that if I did get scammed and tried to get help from the admins on Hardforum, they would probably just laugh at me for trusting an account that doesn't even have access to post in the ForSale forum due to lack of posts. I'm just trying to protect myself here. Paypal is VERY...

    little question about buying

    Hello Anandtech. This is LLoose from Hardforum. Since this thread was made about me, I thought I should come and give my side of the story. I put up an ATI HD 4870 for sale on Hardforum. I had qtnguyen87 send me a pm asking me for my paypal address. I was out to lunch at the time so I didn't...

    Too bad ati is (insert excuse here)

    Ok.. The the purpose of quoting as a post is.....? I am not trying to start a flamewar, I like and use both brands. Both DO have their ups and downs but people draw attention to things that in my eyes are trivial. Ati fanboys rant and rave about a few extra 3dmarks and 10fps in oblivion...

    Too bad ati is (insert excuse here)

    Everybody knows that ATI's cards run hot, loud and pull a lot of power, but honestly.. HEAT: If your cooling sucks so bad in your case that you are having problems from a card that raises the temp in your case to the point where it would damage other parts.. then you need to install a case...

    Evga rma 6800nu

    This entire thread leaves me in awe as to why people order their high end equipment online.. Save a few extra bucks and buy from a local computer company and you will never have to deal with it. Want to argue about prices? I got my my x1900gt for $200 from bestbuy. I have gotten every single...

    When does ATI generally release new drivers?

    Not to start any flames or anything.. but I couldn't find a good driver at all for my sli 7600gt's. Don't like CCC? Install just the drivers lol.

    What ATI gonna do when 7900GTO sales for $250?

    The biggest thing is going to be the availability.. Just like the GS, the 7900gto's are just old 7900gtx cores that needed to be dumped. They aren't going to be a retail card that you can get at compusa or frys, youre going to have to get them online from newegg or tigerdirect. On top of that...

    Upgrade from 3500+ to X2 4800+?

    x2's are great for multitasking. I got an x2 +3800 and ditched my old +3000 and its a HUGE difference. Another thing, make sure you have at least a gig or ram. My performance jumped up a LOT when I upgraded to 2 gigs.. For some reason it uses less cpu cycles.

    LCD Res question

    I recently bought my first widescreen. Its a Samsung SyncMaster 940bw and runs 1440x900 natively. This is dandy and looks great for newer games, but is there a way that I can run older games that dont support widescreen without just stretching out the image? Even if I had black lines on both...

    directX 10 and current video cards

    QFT.. but I would even push that back further. Even if that is the case, game companies are smart enough to know to put in a DX9 mode into the game.. they would cut off a HUGE part of the demograph if they dont.

    WoW players and their rigs?

    2 Rigs. See in sig. Desktop: Everything is maxed and running on my native widescreen resolution. I still dip below 30fps occasionally, but it is not my hardware's fault, it is caused by lag. I use vsync, so it stays at a pretty solid 60 during normal play. If there is a lot going on or on a...
