    Can this be made any better

    Thanks for these comments. I bought the i5 at a time i didn't have the money to go for the i7. The I5 is under a stock air cooler. I did have a Zalman ZD1225BTR on there but it broke down. The 4k is just fine on the one 980ti. At least I don't notice any problems when on one 980ti...

    I can't use the 5850 the card is too big for the case (X-Blade) Also my motherboard won't run Crossfire as its a Nvidia 780i chipset. (Which I just found out DOH!) The 2 8800GTs AMP Edt, I had running on it were awesome. I was going to get a GT 400 series card but they are massive at 10.5...

    Yes Sorry I got interrupted when writing about a size issue with the 5850 and didn't press submit. The 5850 is 9.5 inches long and whilst I could get it in the slot I wasn't able to slide the HDD's back into their slots and fix them. So I went back and got the 2 5770's as they were only 8.5...

    :o:o:o Yes I should have done my research on the chipset of the motherboard. Im kicking myself..:eek::eek: Considering the number of PCs Ive built I should have known better. I assumed that PCI-e 2.0 was a standard and that it would not matter which card, ATi or Nvidia I had in the slots...

    Well, thought everythings was going well. Then I did some bench marking WTF! 15389 in 3DMARK06!!! I got 18234 with two 8800GTs OC'd. After some searching Crossfire does not work on my motherboard as its an Nvidia 780i chipset. IM SO ..... OFF. Even the one 5770 is a poor score. So a GTX 465...

    Chance to RMA?, go for it, hope for anew card or at best an UPGRADE! Sound is very stressful so a good reason to RMA too.

    Yup that TV. The newer Samsung 3D TV made me ill. Esp. at £2200! thanks for the info and comparisons, maybe Ill go for the 2 5770's then when I have the money I can go for the 58 series in Xfire. Playing on 1 8800GT Amp card just does not cut it.

    Nvidia 9600GT dead or not?

    Funny same happened to me the other day with my 8800GT Amps One died during MW2. However that was a PSU that killed the card. If you followed the oven trick and its still dead then it most likely terminal. DEpending on how good you are with a solder gun you could remove teh Cooler and look for...
