These two cards are perhaps the best from camp AMD-290's and camp Nvidia-780's. Maybe MSI 780 Lighting should be in the mix, but I don't have this card.
Here are the specs:
Sapphire 290 Vapor-X (Hynix) 1030 GPU and 1400 Memory
Cost 449.99 newegg
Display Eizo Foris FX2431 1920x1200 24"...
My motherboard is GA EP45-UD3R (new)
My PSU is Power PC & Cooling Silencer 750 (new)
I have 8 GBs of Corsair 1066 memory (new)
My CPU is Q9550
Not sure what the problem is. My 3.3 and 5 rails look good. Values are 3.36 and 4.95.
My CPU fan is Thermalright FDB 2000 RPM (3 pin)...
I am comming from Intel 850E with RDRAM 1066 (No OC). I am finally ready to upgrade.
My goal is to OC my CPU to between 3.6 ghz - 4.0 ghz using Air cooling and overclock my GPU by 10%.
Here is what I am planning to purchase.
CPU: Core i7 920 or 940
Case: Silverstone TJ09 or TJ10...
