Im still running a R9 390 in one of my rigs. Gets the job done for some games but I want more power. Need to resist getting a 3070TI and above until the prices drop more....
Ok. thanks
Would the 512mb version be sufficient? Do you see that much more performance from 1gb? Also this will be compatible with my mobo correct?
I saw this for sale in the forums:
Sapphire HD4870 Toxic Edition 512MB DDR5 PCIe
Thanks again.
Hey everyone.
I want to upgrade my video card.
I currently have the following setup:
Gigabyte 965p-DS3 mobo
Core 2 Duo Proc
PCI-E ATI x1900xt
Corsair 650W PSU
My monitor is a dell 24" LCD. So my rez is normally very high 1900x1200
What would be the best card to upgrade from...
Hey everyone.
My PSU crapped out on me and when I installed a different psu the computer boots but doesnt detect my HD, or any of the CD drives. I have reset the bios and have everything enabled in the bios that should allow for the drives to be detected. When I start windows I get nothing...
Hey everyone.
I just bought 3 of these systems for my business and they come with the intel 3100 integrated video. I noticed that they do not have dvi connections. I would like to connect all of them to dvi.
What is the cheapest card that will get the job done. Basically I dont want a huge...
Good news.
Starting poking holes in it with a needle but couldnt pry it open. I started doing it off and on throughout the day. I was able to dig out the plastic but the metal pins in the last two holes were badly damaged. Since the holes in the plastic were big enough to fit the prongs from...
Thanks for your replies guys. I was hoping this might be a common connector that you guys might of known about. I will look on ebay for a new tray as dell does not carry replacements for this anymore.
Thank again.
Hey everyone.
Im have a post in the want to be forum but would like some help finding this part. I have attached the pictures for your viewing pleasure.
Picture of Front
Picture of Back
Does anyone know what kind of connector this is, or where I can get one??
This is the part that...
Hello everyone.
Heres what happened:
I was playing Company of heroes on my x1900xt (not overclocked) when I receive a message from my ati drivers that my card was overheating and that it was going to be underclocked. I kept playing as I was in a match at the time. It repeated this...
Thank you for your response.
Heres an update. The card has a 3 year warranty so that would fix the problem Ithought I had.
But now, I just plugged in my 7600gt and I get 1 long post sound when it boots. It does get to windows but in windows after about 5 minutes it hard freezes. Can only...

For those of you recommending the ballistix memory. I have the same memory as mcurphy listed and am about to get my second rma back from crucial. Im using a gigabyte ds3 board, do you guys have any other suggestions for high end memory?
Thanks
Hey everyone.
I have been using crucial ballistix pc6400 DDr2 running my Gigabyte DS3 with conroe 6600 at 8 x 420. Which is 840mhz for the memory at 2x1gb at 4-4-4-4-13. These sticks default voltage at 2.2 so I had to move my mobo to +0.4.
Problem is one the sticks burned out again...
Ichinisan,
Do you know where we could download that older software. I actually have a drive with a few bad sectors and would like to remap it. It is an older IBM drive.
Thanks!

Hello
I just bought a 2407FPW and really like it. I know that it is a 16:10 monitor but when I pop in a DVD I get the huge black bars on the top and bottom.
I thought since it is very close to a 16:9 that it wuld be so big. They look about the same size as when I had my regular CRT.
Im...
Im having the same problem.
I installed it as an emulated IDE drive. I want to change it to SATA. From the instructions above, why do you change it back to the orange plug. I thought the purple gigabyte plugs are faster.
Hello everyone.
I have a WD SATA drive and a DS3 Gigabyte Mobo. I didnt realize that I had to create a driver disk when installing a SATA drive and installed it in IDE mode. I had it plugged into the Intel Sata Connection.
I have read the manual now on how to properly install it in SATA...
Can you confirm if this is a good deal?
Im building a system and am about to jump on this deal since I have a fry's nearby.
If not can you suggest a similar 16mb 300gb drive at a good price?
Thanks
Eddie
Thanks for your replies.
I guess the xp-90 it is. What fan do you guys suggest. Im looking at svc.com at the panaflo hydrowave 90x25mm fan that does 48cfm at 30db. Also what ram are you running silver to get to 2.6. Are those pc4000 gold oc's any good. Im probably going to pair this up...
Hello.
I just jumped on the monarch special on the opterons 165 dual cores. They are OEM so I need to purchase a decent HSF for overclocking. Im looking for something in the 30$ range so I dont ruin the deal I received.
I haven't shopped for these in a while but so far the best i've...
Hello everyone,
Im new to the forum but ive been looking for a solution for this problem for
some time now.
I send and receive emails out constantly throughout the day. When I get hom
e from work I access the same emails that I would normally be receiving at w
ork at home. I have...
Would the opteron be ok in the current setup that I listed on page one? or should i just stick with the 3800+'s. Also how about the ram that I listed?
Thanks
Eddie
Thanks for your replies.
From what I read the x860xt was superior in raw power and in overclocking. The only drawback was the lack of 3.0 and HDR. Also, that these features would only be needed in the future and by then I would need to upgrade the card anyway to play the games that needed...
Ok. Sorry for being lazy.
Here is what I came up with. Any suggestions on the memory, hd, etc. I want to have this running at 2.4ghz minimum.
Here is the wishlist.
Wish List
Thanks
Eddie
Thanks for the suggestion. I will look at both cards.
Now for the rest of the system I still need someone to type out a good setup for me. Can you please give suggestions for the other 620$?
I need to make this system soon.
Thanks
Frank
Hey everyone.
Its time to upgrade again. Im going to use my old computer for my office. I have an 800$ budget to work with. I do not need a monitor, case, psu, optical drives, or keyboard/mouse.
I want to limit my video card to 200$ for the 800. I was looking at this card:
X850XT...
I'm building a couple of computers for a small elementry school. The school only wants to spend about 1000 dollars total. Now these computers are only going to be used for word processing and games for the kids.
Could any of you guys give me info on whats the best budget hardware. It's been a...
Yeah in DVI mode running at 75hz it produces damaged colors. In VGA, it doesnt. I play of lot fps games and I want to have the best performance possible. The main reason why I bought a syncmaster was because of amount gaming I do.
I recently bought a 940b samsung syncmaster. I was using analog and I wasn't getting any problems. When I finally got hold of some DVI cables. My LCD gets all messed up. It looks like I have bunch of damaged pixels. Also it doesn't let me exceed 75hz while in digital. Theres only 60hz and 75hz...
