i think im going to go with an ati atm, in a year i should be making money and can build a brand new high end pc. probably a 5830 or 5850 depending on price/performance scale.

im pretty decent with computers beta, im 98% positive its graphical.
i will get little blue horrizontal lines. i will get blocks of color that appear/disappear and my screen flickers and says its recovered from a display issue, stuff like that.
anyways, what card would you buy if you had to buy one right now

interesting, my desktop is not going to last much longer i think without a new gfx card, as it is i cant play any games :(.
im looking into the 5870 most likely, but not sure if it will fit into my case, my 8800 is really crammed in there, have to see the size i guess.

hmmm, so what do you guys think, a month or so and the new nvidia cards will start to drop the price of other cards? or should i be aiming for a new nvidia card.

im running on 6gb ram (it was 4 1gb sticks, but a while ago 2 sticks died, so i bought 2 2gb sticks, figuring the others could go at any time) and my processor is an old but still pretty decent (i think) Q6850 at 3gb, but i can overclock it (i dont for crysis because my gfx card is usually the bottleneck, but i do for supcom)

ya, no warranty. im wondering something else, my motherboard is an asus striker extreme 680i, and its pci x16, so does that matter as most cards now are pci 2.0???

id like to spend under $500, obviously less is better, i saw an ati 5870 for under $400, and almost got it, but i wanted to see what peeps thought.
i have vista 64 bit os.
i love toms hardware, thats where i read the chart about the 5870, thats why i almost bought it, same tier as the 295, but far cheaper.
im wondering if yall think i should try and wait a tad longer and see if prices drop with the announcement of the new nvidia cards?
edit, my mother board does support sli, but not xfire(being an nvidia card) and i have a 1000w power supply, so that should not be an issue. (assuming its working properly)

so my 3yr old 8800 is dying.
so, i need a new gfx card. sense im buying a new one, i want a big improvement over the 8800 ultra.
i was thinking i could hopefully wait for these new 480s to come out, and either buy one of them, or an nvidia card that is still a beast and cheaper, or and ati, such as the 5870.
any suggestions out there?

i bought it and downloaded it, but its a bit rough on my comp, i need to play it at low settings, on medium, sometimes my screen goes blank.
anyways, playing the solo campaign but when i see some peeps on ill get on and check out the MP.
crysis 2 huh, i think ill wait for some reviews from you fine folks before jumping on that.

thats an easy tally, even with the votes called into question she has at least 10 unquestionable votes, and no, no votes

+1 for anti gun americas, its like saying anti 2nd amendment americans, which is like anti-constitution americans, which is like, wtf are you still doing in my country. (though i agree on some anti-gun laws, but not most, i.e. no guns for ex violent felons)
-
+1 for that car
obamacare that obama has exempted himself from (and a number of his staff and some of congress are exempted from)

i vote yes
