The thing is pushing four years old too; I don't think I'd risk it.

His 750TX is better built then your HX was man. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/artic...y-Review/505/1

I also wouldn't risk with a 750W for two 480s. But who said he's gonna get another 480?

Brandon just suggested it. Not something I'd do anytime soon even with a beefier PSU.

Anyway it's a very good deal you had. How's it working compared to what you had before, just curious.

first gen HX 850 is better quality then the TX mailman, 2nd gen HX yea there not as good

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=153

my HX 850 was CWT same as the TX so moot point i still killed it with 2x 6970s which still use LESS power then GTX 480s

Just paid for it on eBay. Hoping dude ships tomorrow but have not heard from him yet. Yes for the power it is a good deal but that's pretty much what they are going for it seems (three on eBay today went for between $210 and $220 shipped (an Asus just sold an hour ago for $195 + $15). Not sure if they are underpriced or 560/570/580 is overpriced but I'm just glad for it and I got lucky in a sense-- as I said earlier I wasn't even looking at 480s (never really did even when new as figured would never own one) and had forgotten they too have 1.5GB until I was conversing with another user who just bought a couple direct from Zotac for $190 each.

According to Wiz's 6850 Crossfire review the 480 is like 2% less powerful overall but that was early AMD drivers I figure so maybe its a bit more now. But really looking forward to different drivers (for features like better MSAA in BF3 supposedly and AO in Skyrim plus IQ comparisons in general; not cause I have issues with Catalyst) as well as more vram.

Can't play tonight; needed a PBSetup run which I did but hasn't fixed it. Never actually been kicked before tonight, now every time and server.

Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'wrigleyvillain' (for 2 minutes) ... Violation (IGNORING QUERIES) #9006

The error has changed since I ran the update but same end result.

Maybe G8tr. Let me check the TPU platoon members.

Update: Out of the TPU friends list I have it is G8tr rank 80 , almost 10 million points and about 265 hrs. ChaoticG8r I think is how you spell it. He is real fucking good. People piss and moan as soon as he gets stuck on an opposing team.
