    What monitor should I choose?

    Thanks! I will have to give it a go, I guess. I have been reading about washed out colors and bad picture quality for the BenQ. I hope that they are just being overly picky :).

    What monitor should I choose?

    Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post. I ordered the BenQ Official Major League Gaming Monitor RL2455HM (24-Inch LED). What titled the scale for me was the fact that the BenQ monitor has 1xDVI, 1xVGA and 2XHDMI, the latter being the feature that got me. I am looking to hook up my PC...

    What monitor should I choose?

    Hello everyone, I hope that I posted this in the correct forum. If not, please forgive me and hopefully it will be moved to the correct one. I am looking for some help between two monitors. I will only be gaming in 60 Hz, 1080p, consoles and web development/photo editing. I am looking for duel...

    Gigabyte 7970 3GB Crossfire vs EVGA GeForce GTX 380 2GB Signature + w/Backplate SLI

    I had to learn that the hard way, that is why I posted what I did above your post. It sucks learning that way, but I did.

    Gigabyte 7970 3GB Crossfire vs EVGA GeForce GTX 380 2GB Signature + w/Backplate SLI

    Hey, I am back with the new 680s installed. I have to say that I think I like the 7970s. I did a few benchmarks and I noticed that is more or less the same. The one that I thought would definitely be better, actually was not, Batman Arkham City. The 680s really performed not as well as the...

    Gigabyte 7970 3GB Crossfire vs EVGA GeForce GTX 380 2GB Signature + w/Backplate SLI

    ^^^ That is what I am afraid of. So, I don't know! I guess a question is will the next gen consoles actually start off with using all 8GBs of VRAM? And, excuse my ignorance, won't some PC games start using RAM if they need to?

    Gigabyte 7970 3GB Crossfire vs EVGA GeForce GTX 380 2GB Signature + w/Backplate SLI

    Thanks for the reply! There are a few things that concern me and one of them is the driver fix. I would hate to wait and have it not work, or switch them out and have them work. I guess that is the AMD "fan", for lack of a better term, in me. You know, just trying to hold on to what I have...

    Gigabyte 7970 3GB Crossfire vs EVGA GeForce GTX 380 2GB Signature + w/Backplate SLI

    Yeah, me too. That is why I am trying to get all of the information that I can before I throw the 680s into my rig. This may sound silly, but I am hesitant to get rid of the 7970s because of its specs, but my gut is telling me to go with Nvidia...if that makes any sense :laugh:. So, would anyone...

    Gigabyte 7970 3GB Crossfire vs EVGA GeForce GTX 380 2GB Signature + w/Backplate SLI

    Thank you for the quick reply! So, do you think the 680s SLI is better than the Crossfire 7970s? Sorry, I am kind of new at this and definitely new to Nvidia, if I decide to go that route. Oh, what what about the 256 bit interface of the 680 compared to the 384 bit interface of the 7970?

    Gigabyte 7970 3GB Crossfire vs EVGA GeForce GTX 380 2GB Signature + w/Backplate SLI

    Hello, As you can probably tell already, I am brand spanking new here. Here is my situation: I current have Crossfire Gigabytes 7970 3GB installed on my rig right now. I picked up 2 EVGA GeForce GTX 380 2GB Signature + w/Backplate, because I got them at a really great price. When I was...
