System Specifications
[Processor/CPU ] : Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3 Ghz (but regularly do 4.5)
[Current GPU ] : Nvidia 9500 GT (dead 6950)
[Display Resolution ] : 1920 x 1080
[PSU specs ] : Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 800W - http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6659
[Case specs ] : Cooler Master 690 II - Excellent Airflow
Purchase Details
[Budget ] : $250, Buying in Canada
[Preferences ] : Nvidia, need to gain experience in CUDA so i need it at home
[Crossfire/SLI ] : None
[Products reviewed] : GTX 480 powerful/CUDA/Immense value right now at NCIX
[Intended usage ] : Tons of games (BF3, MW3, NFS, Crysis 2) and CUDA learning
[Detail level ] : Highest detail possible @ 1080p
[Overclocking ] : Light overclocking (I am a noob at this).
Additional Notes
- The best IMO for my current situation would be the 480 (CUDA, 1080p gaming, value)
- My Mobo is a Sabertooth p67, which has a notorious history of incompatibility issues with several video cards. Is it possible it will 'kill' the new video card? Because the 6950 I received with it arrived dead.
- The 6950 was purchased from Superbiz at April 2011. Sapphire have a 2 year warranty. Is it possible to obtain a replacement now? I couln't send it to the US, because of high shipping rates.
