QUOTE(dineshmike @ Sep 14 2010, 06:23 PM) Seems like everyone is waiting for 5XXX series to drop price so that can CFX them. For me, the 5870 is sufficient for now. But who knows, if the price is tempting then might buy another one loh.  lol there is never an end to the "WANT" in us is there?

QUOTE(everling @ Sep 15 2010, 11:32 AM) The problem with cheap monitors is that they lack flexibility. The S2409 can't do portrait mode, so you will always be stuck with a very wide view. The U2311H would be a lot more flexible, as you can better adjust the monitors to your liking. As for worth, depending on a lot of factors, maybe.  But if you are on a tight budget and don't mind waiting another long year, I think the HD 7XXX might be more worth it, as it will also have a process shrink. If you want more bang for your bucks, buy the HD 6870 asap if it looks reasonable. I thought you could just rotate the screen in the software? is it not possible with eyefinity? but of course if u mean the mounting then yes

QUOTE(Piros @ Sep 30 2010, 09:59 AM) Maybe they change the naming or should I say the numbers. But no official word yet from AMD. Remember 6000 series is meant to be a refresh line and Nvidia is also planning for a refresh in the next couple of months. It won't be on the 28nm, only the HD7XXX series will be on that die. Whatever it is AMD is plannning, we just have to wait... OCT 18... marking down the calendar

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Sep 30 2010, 12:45 PM) Fast fast make 5870 drop till 1k. Then i can crossfire it. But now if you can check the garage sales, still not many people selling 5000 series though. ( I mean second hand). Which means everyone is still waiting for the 6000 series. Yup very few most ppl will wait to CF their card i think. The other option is to sell off now when the price is high and run onboard graphics while the new series is out... I wonder is any shops accept trade ins for GPU?

QUOTE(Maxieos @ Sep 30 2010, 08:46 PM) I plan to switch but Ati really give a lot of problem , like now I am having . What kind of problem? your card heating up is a normal thing, the HD3870 is designed to run at that temperature u can look at other forums like this --> http://www.hardwareheaven.com/amd-graphics...at-problem.htmlThe newer cards are much cooler and smaller cause of the smaller more advanced architecture that generates less heat. U might wanna compare the newer cards with the 3870 ur having, be it ATi or Nvidia the heat is always there...if all else fails, then you should go for watercooling

QUOTE(Maxieos @ Oct 1 2010, 11:17 PM) My fan speed is at 50% idle if you look back my previous picture. I mean I set the underclock at 150mhz , fan speed 80% still 58'c .I tested running at 300mhz with 10% fan speed also the same 60'c. Which mean either the card factory temp is working at 60'c or either my casing less air flow until it stay at 60'c even it set 10'c fan speed = same , down clock = same . So conclusion , either change casing or apply those gel into the graphic card but I dont know how to disassemble it  Changing the casing won't help as the card is shrouded, Keep aside some budget, wait for the HD6000 series bro. Then get the newest one u like or get the HD5000 series when their price start dropping....

QUOTE(mellovicious @ Oct 6 2010, 07:11 PM) hi everyone. i got a simple eyefinity question. i got this 23" acer on 1920x1080. i want to make an eyefinity setup wif 2 non-wide 1280x1024 monitor. gpu is 5850. is this possible? I think multiple displays should be ok with that but you might not be able to activate that in game mode.... sorta read that somewhere...

Id rather game in DX10 or even DX9 if the game is unplayable... better to have smooth flowing gaming sequence than eyecandy that won't let you win the game
