If I have a game that runs natively at 720p but allows upscaling to 1080p, should I let the PS3 upscale it or have it output at 720 and let the TV do the upscaling?

Using fxaa did help a lot, but I'm definitely still not getting 60fps with everything set to high. I could switch terrain and effects to high, so that's something. Not complaining about the card at all though, it's a beast. As for the drivers, let's see... a power saving feature that will make...

Don't take my word for it, but IIRC MSI will take RMAs of overclocked cards as long as you used afterburner, stayed within the official limits and never touched the voltage.

Never owned a 560, but I recall it got many more positive than bad reviews regarding noise, and from my experience with other models twinfrozr's are the best retail coolers around. Anyway I'm not going to swear by a card I haven't used, and unless you're as anal about noise as I am you won't...

Getting stable 60fps here on my 6870 at 1080p. Medium settings, I know I could probably crank it to high but I'd rather have smooth gameplay than some more eye candy. Sticking to 11.9 too. The regular AMD drivers are bad enough already, I'll be damned if I'm gonna try the betas.

You'll need three of the slots at the back of your rig to install the card instead of the usual two, which could be a bitch if you wanna crossfire depending on your mobo and the other card. As to the original question I'm partial to MSI twinfrozr's, but if you don't care about the noise that...

Because there are apparently enough people willing to shell out that kind of money to make them profitable. And if you think that's expensive check out the professional solutions, a Quadro will set you back thousands. Myself, I don't plan on ever spending over 200 in a GPU, upgrading every few...

If you don't mind the poor and troublesome ATI drivers the 6870's the best bang for the buck right now, but BF3's a meaner benchmark than Crysis ever was. I've resigned myself to lowering all settings to medium at 1080p.

Man that video's trippy. What do you mean, "from ATI response"? Have you personally contacted them and gotten a reply? If so you'll want to post it here, the more info we have the better. Try rolling back to the oldest drivers you can find (delete the current ones before, restart, then install...

I'm running a single 6870 vapor-x on win7 x64, and the 11.6 driver installation always borks around 50%: http://imgur.com/7AH6o I tried restarting and deleting old drivers for a clean install. Any more ideas? Thanks

6870 vapor-x/flex are slightly noisier and hotter at load than either of the MSI twinfrozr counterparts, I s'pose the same will happen for other models. If you want one of the custom cooled cards my advice would be to stick with MSI, especially since their warranty and RMA support are much...

The onboard GPU should disable automatically if you put in a discrete one, at least mine did without having to touch anything in BIOS. Remove old drivers, install the new ones (from the internet, not the CD as they'll be outdated) and you're set.

Can't be sure if the PSU's causing the problem, but you need to replace that ASAP, that rig of yours will need some 400W on full load and your PSU can't reliably supply that. Get something from a decent brand rated for at least 650.

And even the witcher's perfectly playable with a 5870 and everything maxed (cept ubersampling of course). Don't expect you'll have any problems with bf3 either. There's really no need to upgrade that card this early

Did anyone else get wipeout only to find they suck badly at it? Took me a couple hours to finish a race above 7th in easy. It's a blast though, I don't know where my weekend has gone.

I agree, never had any trouble with them. I've had my fair share of problems with the damn Catalyst drivers, but the cards themselves are 100% reliable. I second the original post on everything else though, especially the recommendation to avoid PowerColor. They're cheap for a reason, they...

Hey there I'm looking for a quiet midtower case for my rig with a moderately overclocked 6870 vaporx and phenom 955. Can't spend any more than $100, I know I can't be very picky for that price so I don't care at all about the looks, just want it to be as quiet as possible while keeping...

I restarted and for some god-forsaken reason the card started switching between the profiles, and I was back to square one. The only way I've found to tame it is to use a single profile and edit the values in it when I want to change clocks. Annoying as hell, but it works, with the caveat that...

I made a bunch of custom profiles, 10% power for web browsing and work, 30% for old games and 100% for maya rendering and new games, and it appears that the stuttering's gone. Haven't done much testing yet, I'll write again tonight and tell you if it's working alright

For some reason the crysis menu isn't fps limited, so the card will output 1.5-2k fps and make the whirring sound. Furmark and most common benchmark programs won't get anywhere near that, so they won't cause the sound. The card will be alright, but it can be annoying as hell, and they definitely...
