New graphics card.

If you want to save 30 bucks, and don't mind a card a little less good (but still kickass), get a 5750.

 

I have never had good luck with good performance in NVIDIA cards.

 

Just got a 5750 and love it.

 

Definitely recommend it.

Why spend more for the more expensive cards when in a few years you will need to upgrade anyways? I agree with the 5750 for anyone that reads this.

Yeah, and start having PLASMA generated in your computer. Unless you have a watercooling setup, no thanks.

 

Lol. I just installed mine in the new computer i built yesterday. It doesn't really run that hot, once you get ample cooling.. which you should do regardless of how warm something runs.

 

I'll post pictures later today, including some of the card close up so you can see it. Idk about other brands, but EVGA learned from the 295 that these cards run crazy hot, so they put a gigantic (4-6 inch) heatsink over the whole card, and then a heatsink over the chip with big ass heat pipes coming off of it.

true

im learning that the hard way, i bought the 4870x2 back in august when i built my computer and its a great card and all but it account for 1/4 of the price of my entire rig and i wish i hadnt bought it maybe had i gone with something cheaper or waited for the 5*** series i would have had the money for a bigger desk or another monitor or games.

For $120, I'll take a 5750 any day.

 

Go 5970 =O

 

In my dreams...

You cant multi-card crossfire any of the cards with dual processors.

The 5970 is the 5*** series' 4870x2 which has two cores which counts as two cards for cross firing so with 4870x2's or 5970's you can only crossfire 2 cards; and if im correct the 5970 also takes up 2 pci slots so you would be able to have 3 in your computer but only utilize the three cards since most cases have 7 pci slots.

Hm, you can't quad Crossfire?

 

About the PCI slot problem, just get a server mobo.

You can card quadfire with single core cards but you cant card quadfire with 5970 because it exceeds 4 cores. core quadfiring can be done with 2 5970's or 4 single core cards.

 

so you can quad fire with 2 5970s or 4 single core cards.

1st grade math...

 

multicore card x 4 = 8 core NOT YET POSSIBLE

 

single core x 4 = 4core POSSIBLE

 

multicore x 2 = 4 core POSSIBLE..

 

less css and more books for you
