Steam is used to dload dirt2 and no powerdvd as far as I
can see, just the games.
What sort/how many power and video connectors does it come with?
I dont have a ruler, @ 11 inches ill have to use something else
WOOT!Steam is used to dload dirt2.
If you have any little obscure questions that the review sites aren't covering them let me know, but please note that my internet access at work is a little 'spotty' so I'll try to get back to you asap.
Hi all
Overclocking
The overclocking reminded me of the initial batch of 4870's where generally they wouldn't really overclock too well (and the later batches were better). ATi really seem to have pushed the 40nm process hard to get the 850core, so kudos to them. I used the in-built ATi Auto-Tune facility and got 890 on the core (up from the standard 850) and 1250 on the memory (again up from the standard 1200). But let's be honest, the way this card performs you're not gonna need a couple of extra fps here & there (that a small overclock provides) for a long time (unless you're an overclocking nut like I used to be ).
For those interested, Vantage scored 18513 when overclocked, which I think isn't too bad considering the small increase of the clocks involved.
11inch? my case can only fit 10.6inch cards D: this card isnt for me then
Over on bit-tech the reports where that the 5870 couldn't be overclocked using the beta drivers, using any overclocking tool. Bad card or BS?
