Thanks for the quick reply :) . So now I have another question. Would the 7750 bottleneck cross-fired 4830s, or even a single 5770? I've researched a bit about bottlenecking, but it seems that the general opinion is that there has to be a very large age gap in hardware, ie. 3 year old...

Hi guys. I currently have a spphire 4830 512mb and a kuma x2 7750 oc'ed to 3.1. Im in the market for a 200 dollar upgrade and am wondering what the best path would be. Should I crossfire the 4830 and upgrade to an athlon II x4, or drop all the cash on a new generation vid card, or phenom quad...

Yeah so I think it's gonna have to be a combination of power supply and cpu. I suppose that I'll get one of the athlon am3 quads. I just hope that it provides a noticeable performance increase over my kuma. Thanks for all of the input guys, very helpful and constructive. Feel free to keep the...

Thanks for the input guys. I think I may just throw in a new power supply in preparation for a future upgrade. However, if any new ideas come through here Im still three weeks out from buying so Ill take any advice into consideration. I cant find a 4830 for less than 100 bucks on newegg which is...

Ive got a 4830 as well and at this point I just dont know what to think! My results are so varied from game to game its really disturbing. I play crysis on high settings.....pretty nice performance, switch to COD 4.....great performance, TF2 with recommended settings and vsync off= fps 142 down...

Ok so to Oceanian, thanks for your advice which had the best results. The problem is resolved to my satisfaction. Thread can be closed.

Sorry about the misusage of a term. I should have correctly described the problem as low FPS. Im not using AA and filtering is off. All other settings in CoH are set to high, which is apparently well within the means of this card. Resolution is 1680 x 1050, native for the monitor. The reviews...

Oceanian, I cleared cmos per your recommendation and the issue wherein the comp froze on startup has cleared. However, the lag still persists in game and per HW monitor, voltage fluctuations never pass 5%. Ill contact asrock but would still like to keep this thread open for user input.

Onboard video is automatically disabled when a pcie, non hybrid compliant, video card is detected. This is according to asrock specifications. There doesnt appear to be any way to ensure that the mGPU is disabled in the bios other than setting primary display to pcie, which i have done. The mGPU...
