I braved the snow this morning to take a trip to OcUK...

JediFragger · 18 Dec 2010 at 11:16

...for these

Believe me, if my car didn't have the option of a 50/50 4wd split I wouldn't have dared to tackle the OcUK hill :eek:

Fortunately, it was a breeze :cool:

Just for info, bits in the box are;

- 6950 card (dur!)
- Xfire Bridge
- Mini-DisplayPort-to-Full Size DP Convertor
- DVI-to-VGA Dongle
- Install Guide etc
- Driver disc

Must admit the card is very well packed/protected, impressed for a budget brand

Off to install!

Si

Errrr, what does that mean?

And hope you are enjoying your new toys!

Nice one. Now that's what I call dedication!! I wouldn't dare even try that hill in todays weather conditions! What games did you get with them?

Isn't that a mini display port to displayport cable? Or do one of the displayports allow HDMI/DVI connections?

Bah, not even that

It certainly looks so (mini displayport-displayport).

Heavy night last night Mr K? Unfortunately for me (fortunately for my wife) there is no decent performance PC retailers in the Belfast area to drop into. Purple shirt place don't count. Guess that has saved me a fortune

When you get it all up and running can you give us an indication of how loud they are when stressed please Jedi? There is mixed messages online - from quiet to tornado in a box levels

Nice. I really want two of those now, upon first release I was expecting a bit more, was a little disappointed at first but now thats gone I see those 6950 puppy's for the beaut they are!

JediFragger · 18 Dec 2010 at 11:49

Yes sorry boys looks like it's mini to full DP, I'll change the main post now

And no probs d_brennen, got Crysis loaded so I'll install drivers now and play a level

MikeHunt79 · 18 Dec 2010 at 11:50

I'm surprised you even left the house, I'm sure you'd qualify for free postage!

JediFragger · 18 Dec 2010 at 11:51

Yes but not a fiver off a card

Had no probs in my STi, DCCD allows me to 50/50 split too so hooning around a little too for a laff :cool:

Skyrocket · 18 Dec 2010 at 12:04

Nice cards, feel a bit jealous you got a new toys top play around with.

JediFragger · 18 Dec 2010 at 12:04

Well I ran 3DMark11 and I'd def label them under 'quiet' - Esp when you compare my 460s to them! All in all, chuffed

JediFragger · 18 Dec 2010 at 12:07

Got P8571 in 3DMark11 with [email protected] (default volts)
