OH MY GOD! It LIVES! :D

Fullinfusion was right, all I had to do was type "atiflash -p -f 0 cayman.rom" Don't ask me how or why, but even though the Hd 6950 was in the second slot, it was still...

So, go with the slowest because it's new tech? Sometimes, that logic has its pitfalls.

I wouldn't trade my 2600k for a 3750k, just because it's newer tech. Heck, I wouldn't even trade it for a...

I have downloaded them and...

From what i've seen, GPUs such as the HD 6000 series and GTX 500 series they scale almost 100% with 2 cards.

Is this what you mean?

Should I go forward with the Hd 6870 crossfire (for the...

It's even less than 10%.

When Intel announced that the 3770k would be 10% faster than 2600k, they were factoring in the 100mhz speed bump of the 3770k. Which in my opinion is a bit like cheating....

If you used you GF's toothbrush to clean your balls, she is going to grow micro-testicles on her gumline.

Even if such a crappy PSU existed, your motherboard's voltage regulation would stop it, I think. But the mobo would be dead.

It's not holding you back.

There's only like 1-2% performance drop from full 16x 2.0 to 8x 2.0.


And I only paid 136$ for my HD6870, seeing as I sold my HD4890 for 100$. I thought it would be...

I would instead wait for the new HD 6900 series.

Save the hassle of multi-GPU setups, and get a single fast GPU.

You can still sell that HD 5850 for a decent price to cover for the new GPU.

EA will never again capture the essence of the FIRST Need For Speed

I was 12 years old when it came out. I remember rushing my dad to the store to buy it for my Sega Saturn.

I still play it to this day.

Console Ports and their (often) ridiculous system requirements
