Ok, I went for the stock Sapphire HD5770 card. Thanks for your help guys:).

Ok I think I'll just go for an HD5770 for an extra £30 or so if I get decent future proofing out of it. Are those Vapor-X ones worth the extra £25 compared to the Sapphire HD5770 card that's being sold here for £115 at the moment?

Ok, any cards you would recommend? I can't spend too much, probably £140 at the most if necessary, though is there something that would give me a decent jump for say around a £100? I'd like to play some more recent games, I also have a copy of STALKER which I'd like to play with the upgrade...

Ok I've tried 3 different drivers. The latest ones, also the 9.11s and the 8.7s and still having problems. Instead of objects appearing I'm now getting a flickering screen with the 8.7s when loading up Quake 4, doesn't happen on the desktop though. NOLF 2 also stutters quite a bit on certain...

Sorry, are you talking about when the PC is booting up? I havn't heard any warning beeps or seen any errors, though I'm not sure if I have a setting for that kind of thing switched on apart from the CPU temp warning.

Hi, wondering if you can help me. I've currently got a Connect 3d Radeon x1900 512MB which I bought about 4yrs ago. And have been noticing artifacts while playing games. I actually think it started last year since I noticed strange artifacts on my desktop appearing now again, didn't think much...

Hi sorry for hijacking but I'm intersted in upgrading to this card from a Sapphire X1900 512MB, what I'm wondering is will it work on a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4 motherboard? I saw something about PCI-E 2.1 in the cards spec but not sure if the motherboard supports this. Also will an Akasa 500W...

What about the MSI 965P Neo? Anyone now good they're meant to be?

I doubt I'll be overclocking for a while yet, really I just want something that'll be ok for gaming just now until more C2D boards are released. If it does me for 6 months to a year then I'd happy with that. Can alway get a better mobo then.

Anyone know what the 945 boards are like for C2D machines? Is there a big performance drop or would they be ok for aound six months or so until more lower priced mobos are released? I'm looking to build a machine for gaming and recording music, don't want to spend more than £700 which is why I'm...

Ok good stuff, thanks guys :) . I shouldn't be asking this question in the Graphics card folder but it saves creating a new thread. Will this RAM be ok with a C2D board, namely the Gigabyte S3(I don't mean the DS3)? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Geil_DDR2_Memory.html Thanks.

Ok, if I order it today should it come tommorow(live in Edinburgh)?

It's gonna be £50 over my budget, though if it really is worth the extra cash then I was probably gonna go with it. Still not sure though, depends how much I would get out of the x1800XT or x1900GT, if I can get 2-3 years out of them before I have to run games at low details, then I'd be quite...

Would it be worth going for the x1800XT instead? Is it a better card than the x1900GT, also is it noisey?

I'll mostly be playing FPS/3d Action style games.

What card should I go for? I'm going to be building a new C2D machine soon but not sure if the x1900XT 512MB is worth the extra £70 over the x1900GT 256MB :confused: . Any ideas? Thanks.

What about a can of compressed air? Heard that works quite well.

Hi I'm looking at upgrading my PC in the next couple of weeks but I'm not sure what CPU/mobo to get. I've read that AMD will be lowering the prices of their CPU's at the end of the month when Intel release their new CPU. Would it be worth sticking with AMD or should I go with Intel? I'll...

Anyone here got the Akasa 400W PSU? It's pretty much the same as the 460W but 400W instead.

Anyone heard good things about Levicom?
