| 1106384 | 2010-06-08 21:41:00 | Nice....seems a bit empty below the card though.:drool:drool What should I fill it up with then? I have a HDD, an optical drive and 8GB. Can't see a need for anything else, and no, not going to have 2 GPUs. |

| 1106385 | 2010-06-09 00:51:00 | Decided to treat myself and bought an ASUS HD5970. Wouldn't fit. Bugger. After looking at various offerings chose a Coolermaster Sniper Dragon case. Loads of room, bit of a puzzle after I undid all the molexs then realised I shouldn't have and attempted to make sense of it all. (They - eventually - connect to an LED switch/fan controller. ) It's lighting is a bit disappointing - needs more, but at least it's roomy and has some nice cable hiding features. And PSU goes at the bottom, lovely. I decided against the Renaissance job (no Metla not just cause of the Mac thing) so have plenty of time for hardware at the mo........ Please tell me you have got a bigger screen than the 19WS you wasted the 4780x2 on! |

| 1106387 | 2010-06-09 03:30:00 | Please tell me you have got a bigger screen than the 19WS you wasted the 4780x2 on! I have a VX1940W. However, resolution isn't the be all and end all. I'd much rather have full effects then low effects and a high res. Of course, both is good, but little bitty squitty writing and suinting at the screen does nothing for my enjoyment. |

Sorry mate, but that card with a 19inch monitor is like having a v8 with wheel barrel wheels and you know it! . . . . LOL . What CPU do you have with it? |

The 19" has a resolution of 1680 x1050. That's not enough for you? Whatever, I sure don't care, my criteria is a reasonable resolution with all the effects in games full maxed out. The CPU is a Core i5 750. |

Whatever, I sure don't care, my criteria is a reasonable resolution with all the effects in games full maxed out. The CPU is a Core i5 750. Well, I thought the res was 14x9 TBH, however even 16x10 isnt going to tax that card, it is made for 25x16 resolutions.....I just cant understand why you didnt just get a 5870 and spend the rest on a SSD, or just save it.....honestly, the FPS between the 2 wouldnt be noticed at that res even with all the candy turned up!...... However, I do agree that 16x10 is a reasonable resolution.....if I wanted more, I would just get another rather than buy bigger! |

| 1106392 | 2010-06-11 06:19:00 | Why do you need such a high res on a 19" monitor? | Greven (91) | ||
| 1106393 | 2010-06-11 20:49:00 | I don't. It's just what it has. It's HD, another wasted feature for me I guess. Solmeister, I like high end cards. SSD, nah........ |
