true, but the without modding my case has bad managements lol. i barely even fit my cables into the hole next to the psu with my 550. with the additional cables that the 850 provides i dont think it will fit. i think theres 2-3 more pci cables and so on. energy costs not a factor to me :P i...

the only thing i heard though is that the tx750/850 have way to long cables or something. i think my case is only not using one of the cables. i have to use both drive cables to power the cdrom at the top and the 2 harddrives at the bottom i heard the hx's were bettter though? how much...

its actually a 4850 and a 4830 (had it laying around so i thought why not...) i can tell you that before i added the 2nd gpu that i think i got a capacitor dying smell (smelt like candy and burning). this was when i was overclocking and running prime95 (i think it was 3.8ghz i dunno) my...

so i think i might get a power supply sometime this month. i find that when i game now the power supply produces a lot more heat now. its not stupid hot but i don't like it that much. if for example in the future i decided to get a card that uses similar power to a 5870 CF, if i got a HX750...

if the game doesnt support cf i guess it will revert back to the 1gb on the 4850? how is the support on crossfire on games anyways these days i remember it used to be supported by little. i guess im still better off running cf tho even though it does drop the total memory right? i saw a...

okay so it doesnt do it when i have one monitor connected only when im running dual. both are running 60-75hz. any idea what may be causing this? it doesnt do it with one gpu. i have the cf bridge on the inner plug.

ive heard it a couple times on a forum. gpuz still shows their both running at their stock clocks and windows shows theirs 1.5gb of vid rams so i dunno. ive noticed when i load videos on my browser (youtube and whatnot) i get screen flickers. whats up with that? i have the 10.6 drivers in...

is my cosair 550tx enough? i just added another card to cf and am looking at overclocking. i went on antecs site and depending on the configuration (doesnt have h50) it said i needed a minimum of 530-600. this excluded the 20% capacitor aging. i also have 3 antec tricool blue led 120mm on...

wait wouldnt it be a total of 1gb since each card would be using 512mb?

i read on a post when the 4830 was clock for clock OC that its still 3 percent slower. ive overclocked my 4850 before and i didnt see THAT much of a improvement. maybe 2-3 fps and it would get screen tears lol. i ive read that only nvidea downclocks not ati cards? from those results is it...

1.35 is what i thought it should be. is it worth the 3.8ghz over 3.4. if 1.55 is the limit 1.525 is somewhat close. how much more speed am i looking at with a 3.8 with 2600nb vs 3.4 with 2000nb?

sorry for the double post but i was curious as to what my computers volt has been running all the time. i put it back to stock and put on auto and it set it to 1.425. seems high for 3.4 ghz honestly. is 5.25 safe then?

do i just set the 4830 to 625 gpu and 993 mem (what the 4850 is) from 575 gpu and 900 mem? i more want to do it as i think it would be a bit of a bottleneck to have a card running slower no? although one card is 500mb bigger =/

alright the links are fixed. i really wish i had a fan shroud for that 4830. i took it off because i couldnt fit it into my old computer. last night i put my hand in my case and the fan cut my finger of which it bled lol. should i maybe overclock the 4830 to the 4850? would it be as simple as...

so i have a spare 512mb 4830 and was wondering if its worth it to add it with my 1gb 4850 heres the benches Passmark = 4850 http://img651.imageshack.us/i/49624031.jpg/ Passmark= 4850 + 4830 CF http://img101.imageshack.us/i/97424926.jpg/ it seems that the single card beats the cf...
