Check out my rig in my sig.

I didn't exp the G-card overheat because --- > My G- card is HOT all the time, always 65 - 75.

experience some artifact or lag when in game cutscene (not cinematic), perfect smooth during game play.

all highest setting, vsync on, 1920*1080 res.

I used my first rig to play SC2.
Loading time is blardy hell slow, with some stuttering here and there.
But after loading everything is smooth, Ultra 1280x1024 @ 30~50fps.

High~Ultra. I switch in between. But you can still get acceptable FPS.

Not matter what driver i install from 10.4 to 10.5 to 10.6 to 10.7 to 10.7a . I will get bsod, or crash or freeze within 30 minutes of play. 5970 fails lol. Anyway in the graphic setting section anyone get the suggested low on shadows and lightning and medium on post processing while others on ultra?

I wonder why they suggest low and medium on my 5970 =/.

All Single Crossfire cards (4870x2, 4850x2, your 5970) have neutered performance after 10.5 and above. Try using TWL drivers.

Hi,

i've been thinking to buy a graphic card to play SC2 (At least smooth at high setting)
It's just temporary 'cause i might upgrade the graphic card to a better one while crysis 2 release next year.
My budget is around RM250 to 350.
Any graphic cards to recommend? (I am thinking of buying used cards actually)
is 4850 a good choice?

Thanks.
