    My ATI Radeon 5850 review (Gigabyte 5850OC) (custom dual fan model)

    Sounds awesome. Since I updated the drivers to 10.9 I started seeing flickering on my TV. The only way to get rid of it was to create a third overclocking profile in ATi tray tools with slightly higher clocks than the 2D clocks. Perhaps now I don't need that.

    Which Media Player do you use?

    MPC-HC. Haven't been without CCCP for many, many years. I use VLC once in a while too however. Mostly when watching DVDs on the PC.

    Why not let the guy do what he wants to with his own pc?

    My ATI Radeon 5850 review (Gigabyte 5850OC) (custom dual fan model)

    I have just ordered the same kind of card that Erixx posted in his first post. I just wonder about this "55%" fan bug. Can I change the fan speed in programs like Rivatuner or ATi Tray Tools? I have pretty much always used ATT when I have had an ATi card and I intend to do so with this card...

    Is this the reason my card won't start? (See pic)

    Far as I know... 2 years old maybe? Tops. My guess is 1 and a half year old. On sapphires website it says they don't handle RMAs. I traded the card with some random dude on a Swedish hardware site at least 6 months ago (I don't remember when exactly) so no possibilities with RMAing the card to...

    Is this the reason my card won't start? (See pic)

    Alas I have no warranty on the card. I traded it for my 9800GX2 which didn't fit my case too well. Bad luck it would happen on the one card without warranty I've ever owned in my life. But that's life. Stupid mistakes are done and we learn from them. C'est la vie. When it comes to high-end...

    Is this the reason my card won't start? (See pic)

    Yeah been looking at different HD5850 cards. However I've always been careful when applying coolers. Not being too rough, always balancing the card right and making sure the screwholes lands exactly on the right place etc. Not really sure how I managed to do that crack. A Hd5850 should do...

    Is this the reason my card won't start? (See pic)

    Ugh I have been having extremely bad luck with my PC this month... First my monitor break (2493HM), then my 750GB drive and last but not least my HD4870 :/

    So it's pretty much dead? Odd though that the PC still could boot and show picture for a while after that had happened.

    Is this the reason my card won't start? (See pic)

    Short story: Harddrive was giving error (during boot, in windows, Everest S.M.A.R.T diagnostic, speedfan, seatools etc) so I took it out. Everything worked fine, but suddenly one of the cards VRMs temps goes through the roof (105~ C) so I disassemble the cooler (twin turbo) and reattach it...

    Bethesda to Publish id's Rage

    I recently found Doom (the original) for my iPhone so now I carry Doom with me wherever I go. How awesome is that? Can't wait for Rage to be released... been waiting since I first heard the rumors about iD's "new game" being developed. First game I played by iD was Wolfenstein 3D and man was...

    Best Remote Desktop Software

    Listen to this man. I've used tightVNC, RealVNC, UltraVNC, the built-in remote control thingy on winXP etc but logmein is far superior. Even the free version is (with the exception that it don't stream sound). It's a lot more smoother. I think it's the "mirror drivers" or whatever it's...
