    Recommended Gaming card - MSI 770 best value for money?

    I had decent/playable FPS with a ATI 6870. Currently everything is on low, and I don't have any shadows! But thanks for the advice everyone. If a DVR solution is on it's way, an ATI card would be my preference.

    Recommended Gaming card - MSI 770 best value for money?

    I need a gfx card, and money is tight. I need a card that will last a good length, robust and have good performance. I don't want to need to upgrade 2-4 years down the line unless as a luxury (when I have a better job :P ) The MSI Geforce GTX 770 Gaming Edition 2048MB seems reasonable for...

    Fried Gfx Card?

    I have a 5870 using both the DVI Ports. I removed 1 while everything was turned on and the fan went nuts. So i turned it off and now the screens stay black even when both are connected. the fan barely spins and the card emits no heat really. Is this busted? It's out of warranty (feb-'10) so...

    HDD occasionally disconnects while on

    Should they not exchange it, what would be my best option? SATA expansion cards? I've got 4 HDD sitting next to my PC now. I need at least 2 more in.

    HDD occasionally disconnects while on

    Disconnected the other drives and it really started to cause issues and it appears to have stopped. I guess I'll contact Gigabyte and se if they will exchange it.

    HDD occasionally disconnects while on

    No i didn't :/ Can I still do this? how would I check if it is the USB 2.0 ports? The disconnects are quite infrequent so i can't really swap ports and test them.

    DVI Cable question

    just wondered if anyone can answer a few questions I have about cables: 1) does the brand make any difference on a ATI 5870 (2 monitors @ 1920*1080 each) 2) what is the max length you can use before you start losing quality?
