I haven´t ever heard of the powersupply, not available in germany. it could probably be loud. check reviews. I recommend Be Quiet!.

it costs 45€

Be Quiet is good, but.. too expensive :\

might buy in in a couple of months, when i can afford Very Happy

i might even.. connect 4 8950 GX2 in SLI, is that possible?

plus ill buy a 19" monitor

Sli is a pile of crap, dont bother Smile

Crysis will run on maximum gfx with 340 8800gtx so i think one 720mb or 1gg 8950 will be more than adaquate for a year or two Smile

That will out run the ps3 and xbox easily

hy drbreen.if the 8950gtx gx2 realisead(but i and the hardwareforum think no. -max. a 9800gtx)which prozessor have enough power for this card? i have an opteron dualcore prozessor with 3.38ghz(overclocked) with 8800gtx sli.- and the power is not enough.i play with 1680x1050 and all settings are very high in the driver.perhaps the new quad-core from amd(barcelona=sever,phenom=desktop),but nobody know this.lets wait two moth,than we know how much power the have.when the new graficcards realeased(9800gtx is sure)and u read the tests and benchmark,than u know what i mean.but when the 8950 gx2 come,i will buy it.my girlfriend say,-im a hardwarefreak lol... Very Happy

what you guys think about the processor? in general?

I WILL NOT NEVER buy Intel's shity products

Buy a cheepo and cheerful gfx card with no use of system memory. SLI is a a load of crap as the master said. Tomorrow it will all be out of date. It is a conspiricy to get you to part with your money.

Two cards 2x the heat 2x the problems. Twice the cost.

I think they are all in it together. Crying or Very sad

amd fanboy. Razz

calm down breen, don´t make the mistake most newly rich people make: spend too much without thinking.
if you can afford 4 of those gpus it would be better to invest in a big screen, sli is not worth it nor is crossfire except for really high resolutions. I got myself a 23" widescreen which is a lot better than a 19", I can see more around me in hl2dm now and in programs like photoshop you can profit a lot from the extra space. you could get an even bigger one too.

and btw. a watercooling is recommended for silence of the cpu and gpu. especially stock gpu coolers can be as loud as hair-dryers. and don´t expect better air cooling for the gpu would be much more silent, they are all really loud.

okay

I play with low settings, DirectX 7, and a res. of 640x400

with my current shitty hardware

anyway, Opti, you may be probably right, but the 9 Series may be less power consuming?

also, Q2/3/4 of 2008 will be the Octa-Core tech, 45nm technology

Yummy.

maybe a 20", if there is one, but i like TFT's

LCD is the future for gaming, probably, but it sucks for competitive gaming

Every team has been whining about CPL's move-on to LCD monitors

I personaly dont like plasma screens, i cant see a shit if the lights are turned on :p

Careful of the response time. The bigger the monitor the slower the response time.

Wait

opti185 · Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2007 22:02 Post subject:

Also, AMD is launching their last X2 processor

the X2 6400+, according to numerous benchmarks, it beats intel's E6750 and also beats intels E6850 aswell.

Heil AMD!

could have overheated, check the fan and cooler for dust and clean it. or too high overclocked. or both together.
