    Custom gaming computer

    If you want a future proof card, get the 5770, if you want a card that will completely outperform that, get the 4890. Yea the 5770 supports dx11, but why get it if it won't run the games that great, especially for more demanding dx11 games that will come out in a few years. I like Nvidia as...

    gaming build, how does this sound?

    Im using the same processor, It's amazing. you just have to go into your BIOS and turn off cool n' quiet though because it downclocks your cpu to save energy when you're not using it. But it doesn't kick into gear right away when you play games. ditch the 5770 for a xfx 4890. Anyone will tell...

    I also agree, that is a great set up. It's pretty close to mine. But Instead of the 5770 graphics card get the xfx 4890, you will not be let down. I like new egg but the xfx 4890 is $170 at best buy. Its the same price as the 5770, but will out perform the 5770 like there's no tomorrow...

    5850 or wait for 5870 using 8400gs

    This is from someone who actually has the card, me. I have the asus 5850 and if you notice asus makes the 5850 with a voltage tweak. This means without goin against the warrenty you can push the voltage higher and get incredible performance without it heating up. With the voltage tweak and...

    4890 or 5850

    which would be better for a 32" 1080p tv? Also, can I hook a dvi to hdmi adapter to the 4890 so it compliments the 1080?

    Heatsink for the Phenom II 955 BE

    Any choices that are prefered? My cpu is idling at 41 degrees C.. idling.. its recommneded to not be over 65C or something, so under a full load and if I want to overclock, Ill probably burn it up. Im in the price range of about 30-40US$

    GPU fan control software?

    Ill try CCC advnanced, then Ill try uninstalling it. After that, Idk what to do if I cant get anything to open. I might return the 4890 if I cant get a fan controller, but it doesnt make sense that CC wont open and the other 2 software (RivaTuner and ATI Tool) did download drivers all the way...

    ATI 4870 vs 5770 vs Nvidia GTX 260 Core 216

    I would say 5770 if you want something for the future, but if you are running windows 7, a lot of people are having driver problems with it. Like a few posts above, 10-30 more dollars and you can get a 4890, which will blow the 5770 away. I was torn between these exact 2 cards a few days...
