You describe a video crash,so it is probably your gpu.I'd try removing the drivers via uninstall and driver sweeper and then trying the card.If this doesn't work then you will probably have to RMA your gpu,since the 8800gt works fine.

Tip 9 Make use of dual boot.Make a game-only disk partition and install just windows and games on it.This way you will have the least amount of useless background apps eating up clock cycles and memory. This with some service optimizing and the rest of the tips would be the optimal...

The gtx 460 is even worse than a normal gtx 460 768mb.Just look at this chart.The 5850 is the best out of all while the SE is barely better than the 5750!

Another good option,although a bit more expensive,is the 5850 xtreme. It is worth saving up fo imo considering that it outperforms the gtx 460 1gb and supports dx11.

Look here I'd get the 560ti for physx and 3d or the 6950 if it were much cheaper(-20$).Other than that the differences are minimal.

I love TPU because I get to read the funny comments from it's members just by looking beneath the news:toast: It's got great reviews too.;)

I have an asus p7p55d mobo which has 2 pci-e 2.0 slots one running at x16 and the other at x4.After looking at this article,I see that the 5870 works at 95% percent with the x4 slot.With the new 6xxx series,I can find many dirt cheap used 5850s and the 5850's price will probably decrease.So do...
