Cracking Price on the GFX

They overclock like champions as well, and you can drop the fan speed a lot from the stock profile.

Longshot, but anyone have any idea whether one of these 6850s will fit alongside my existing Sapphire 6870 AND Xonar DG PCI card, on a Gigabyte MA790XT (AM2+)? Searching for photos of the motherboard and crossfire'd cards to check clearance... and failing.

Or even have the sound card above the top card (didn't spot that at first)
EDIT: ooops. It's PCI not PCIe!

Should fit fine, but the lower card would have reduced airflow due to the soundcard being right up against it.

Cheers chaps. Think I'll hold off and have a quick measure when I get home from work, just incase. The Xonar is only a cut-away/half-height card so I don't imagine it will impact on airflow too much.

They'll fit fine, I have 2 on this board:
They are certainly only 2 slot cards, so you'd have no problem fitting them in next to the soundcard in the lower PCI slot.

now where is that really good price for a gtx 460 256bit ???

Are the OCUK 6850 latest driver from here: http://uk.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/AMD_Series/EAH6850_DC2DIS1GD5V2/#download
I think the right driver for 64 bit Windows 7 is Version 8.861 dated: 2011.12.26
Am I correct here ? I believe this card is Asus but just renamed to OCUK ?

My brand new 6850 had arrive but now got a problem of dual monitors set up - As you can guess by the title I just bought a Asus ATi Radeon 6850. It has 4 ports on the back. 2 x DVI, 1 x HDMI and 1 x Display Port. I had an Asus nVidia GTX 260 running dual DVI however dual DVI will not work on the 6850. I've gone through all the settings and removed/re-installed the display drivers. The second monitor is not present in Device Manager. Any thoughts? Please help! As I need dual monitors as I had 2 x same make and model of 21.5" AOC monitors come with 2 x VGA cables.
WOW >>>>>>>
just received my card
1) it is an ASUS
2) got all these extra gifts.. mouse mat, T-shirt, water bottle thing and the little sweets
well done OC, what a way to keep a customer happy
Great feedback Paul!
