The 8800 Ultra for proving that people really would pay that much for a card. Well, I thought it would be more, launch price 2007 $830. In 2011 dollars $900. Huh. Not as much inflation as I was expecting, but still, the 8800 Ultra proved there was a market for graphics cards that cost more...

Far Cry 3. Banking on Bioshock Infinite and HOTS for future gaming. 5850 + 940BE Old Skool.

Star Trek: TNG consoles yes yes

Great article, but I would like to see a redux with eyefinity on all games. That would be interesting.

6850 was new or used? If new and you've tried the standard stuff RMA is probably the best route. Have you tried a fresh windows install as a last resort? If you a have a separate HDD or a spare partition it doesn't take much time to install Win7 which I assume you are running. CPU or GPU...

Shouldn't that read most powerful single GPU card rather than most powerful single card?

I love visiting TPU on an almost daily basis because I find it to be the best, cleanest, and most concise source of a subject near and dear to my heart; hardware and anything hardware flavoured. Thank you TPU.

I tired to upload my bios and it said it was already in the system as the bios name i mentioned. Here is a screen of Smartdoctor going up to 950 with gpu-z.
