I see you live in canada (I do too) Have you tried this store for computer parts? Memory Express This is where i buy all my computer parts. I love this store. If you go for a new processor you need new ram and a mobo as well. 4GB of Kingston DDR3 is $119, or 2GB for $60 AM3 board could be as...

Are you upgrading your GPU only? Because if you upgrade you are going to be bottlenecked. That GTX 285 is already being bottlenecked by your system. If that is your system in your SIG, then it needs an upgrade before you get new GPUs ESP. in crossfire/sli.

I'll have my 1090T tomorrow! can't wait! :D

Have you seen the list of physX games? It's not that large. If you already had a Nvidia card i'd say go for it. But (in my opinion) it's not worth going out to buy an Nvidia card just to play a few games with PhysX and have to go though the trouble of getting it to work with an ATI card.

Nvidia added some more crap to make it so ATI users can't or won't want to use PhysX I think here is a link to a fix in this article as well. http://www.geeks3d.com/20100422/hybrid-physx-patch-1-03-with-reverse-gravity-timebomb-fix/

I like XFX. the XXX edition runs a little hotter than the regular XFX card though.

I love XFX.

oh my goodness. It is up to 530 000 dollars....

This thread is getting ugly.

You could wait 7 months for the ATI 6xxx series. I am excited for those. Better support for eyefinity I am hoping. Anyways. If you really want to go for 3d, or any other fancy stuff that Nvidia offers then go for the 470 or 480, but if you don't care about any of that stuff just keep the...

+3 5870

I've CFrd a 5970 and 5870. Works fine. Just not with eyefinity though.

His board will work with any of the following CPUs if it is socket 775 http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/Computers(ME)/ComputerComponents(ME)/Processors(ME)/IntelSocket775cpu(ME)/Default.aspx

I thought the CPU was the bottleneck? My brother and myself have the exact same setup only he has a i7920 and I have a PhenomII965. His performance is way higher than mine is in almost all games.

My DVI port doesn't work on my card and I need to RMA it. I can't find a number to call XFX. I have my 5970 registered to their site but I have looked and looked but can't find a help line. Does anyone know where I can get it?

Does it matter that i took it apart and put on a waterblock? I have never had to do this before so I don't really know what I am doing.

Well, I have just switched out my 5970 with my bros 5870 and the displays worked :( mine is broken...

yeah, I think i did everything right. Can a DVI detect a display but still be broken and not display it?

Okay, I was going to set up eyefinity. Bought my 2 new monitors. Plug them in, and the DVI on the right side of my card won't display.....the monitor gets detected and tells me what kind it is. but nothing comes up :( I am pretty upset right now.

I picked up this cooler http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX27776(ME).aspx and WOW a world of difference. I went from idle 55-60 at stock to load 55-60 3.8. I am loving this one.
