Where abouts is the members market i have never used it before?

I have been looking at the 5850 and it looks like the one for me! 1 question tho i see it uses ddr ram i want to make sure that my motherboard will support this ok. I cant post a link of the mo board cos overclockers dont seem to have it anymore but i will put the model number below if someone could maybe google it and check the spec for me id be very grateful

ASUS M4A785D-M PRO785G (SOCKET AM3) DDR2 MICRO ATX

thanks again

I'v never heard of that issue before... But maybe others can answer you better.
Do a search in the FAQ for members market. It looks like it just needs to be setup...

You need to enable trust to get access to the MM

liamcrane · 6 Mar 2010 at 22:01

o right i see how do i enable that mate?

Do i need a ddr5 mo board for this 5850 card to work?

Rroff you don't happen to know if I get something like a cheap 260, can I use to for PhysX and cuda with hacked drivers in W7?

Do you see a blue trust button on your post? If so try clicking that.

You can... but (sadly) not much point really unless your planning on developing for either... and you'd be better off really with a 9800GT or GTS250 if your gonna do that.

I'm going to be pretty busy for a while so won't really have time for gaming much etc. so have been thinking about a downgrade. you don't fancy offloading one of your 260's and a cash sum for my 5870?

I know it's Ati...

Rroff · 6 Mar 2010 at 22:09

Sorry not gonna happen

rhys216 · 6 Mar 2010 at 22:10

Lol Didn't think so!

Why would that be?

The memory the graphics card uses is completely irrelevant to your motherboard.

liamcrane · 6 Mar 2010 at 22:32

rhys216 · 6 Mar 2010 at 22:35

It's towards the bottom of this page.

I think trust's also go to your email address?

Rroff · 6 Mar 2010 at 22:38

Once you enable trust you should get MM access within 24 hours - its not immediate IIRC.

liamcrane · 6 Mar 2010 at 22:39

cheers for that mate its not there yet but it does state it can take 24hrs to activate.
I got one last thing mate, im looking to do my first overclock on my new card, when i start to up the core and the memory speed do i need to change voltages or will it do it automatically?

thanks again
