I'll try that, thanks :)

I bought Bad Company 2 on Steam and I can barely play it for an hour without it crashing, and it causes everything to have graphical artifacts. I can play much more demanding games for hours with no issues(Heavily modded Skyrim, BF3, Planetside 2, Metro 2033, Heavily modded GTA IV) Its not an...

I'm thinking about upgrading my 6850 to a 7870 Will my AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.9Ghz be a bottleneck? Thank you.

I'm looking for a new keyboard and I would really like for it to have these specs Blue Backlit keys Red/Blue/Brow keyswitches USB hub audio hub (not 100% needed) 10-keyless (no number pad) and preferably media controls, but that isn't necessary either If anyone has any good keyboard...

Thanks for the links/tips :) I don't have to care about drip drying the components, I'm just putting to use an old 775 desktop I have, and when I'm done using it, i'll either throw it away, sell it, or keep it as a cool decoration in my office. I'm not expecting to get back what I put in

I know oil pcs are gimmicky and have no real use other than looking cool, but I thought I'd try something fun and different with extra parts I have that I know I'll never use, and eventually throw away (too old to sell, but alright to use for a browsing pc) Anyone know about cases for these...

I currently have one MSI 6850 overclocked @ 940 core 1170 mem, stock volts. I would like to crossfire it with another one but my motherboard only has a 4x slot. I've looked up benchmarks and seen that gives a huge performance hit, but the benchmarks have been with high end cards. I've heard...

I'm thinking about buying a Corsair Vengeance K60 keyboard, and my current keyboard is a Saitek Eclipse II, and I was wondering if there is a way to take the LEDs out of this keyboard and put them in the K60. Also can I take the laser etched keycaps off (rubber dome) and put them on the K60...

Nah I was already considering a 6950, and the 7870 was the one that was just "a bit more expensive "...So yeah, the 7870 was already pushing my budget as is.

I'm looking to update my rig when I get the cash to something faster. My rig is fine for now, but I don't want to be held back when more modern games come out. My current rig: AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 4.0GHz with Corsair H60 Push/Pull MSI Radeon 6850 @ 965 Core,1180 Mem, stock volts. Gelid...

I have no integrated graphics. My motherboard doesn't have video outputs

I just did a retest and I was wrong. What really is happening is it works for about 10 seconds, bios or not. and after that it gives no signal. I've tried 2 monitors on two outputs. Could this be a motherboard problem? Or a graphics card problem.

Well i just installed an new aftermarket cooler on my MSI 6850. When I plugged it in the fans spin, and I can go into the Bios, so obviously the video output isn't bad, but after the bios, my monitor says "No signal". Anyone have an idea on what to do?

Sometimes it does. A PCB can have a completely different layout than its reference versions, and all aftermarket coolers are designed for the reference PCB, which obviously can cause problems if you're trying to install an aftermarket cooler on a pcb very different from the reference version

I'm looking to get a new cooler for my 6850, and I've heard people having problems installing aftermarket coolers on non reference PCBs. Well I've compared the MSI Cyclone 6850 PCB and a reference pcb, and the only difference I can tell is the position of the 6 pin power input, the layout of...
