I'm pretty sure market share accounts for sale volume within an alloted amount of time, in this case the more recent round of gpus (late 2009-2010). That would mean all the old Nvidia 8800s and 9800s, which are great cards in their own right, can't be counted as they were part of a statistical...
5670, hands down, if you're only looking for HD playback. It only performs as an equal to the 8800GTS at games tho.
IRCC the first 8800s (GTX and the 640/320 GTS's) didn't support hd decode acceleration which means your stuttering was due to the gpu not helping with the video and all the work...
have you tried starting the computer in safe mode?
I actually had the same thing happen to me just yesterday with my 4870X2. The comp would post, show that windows was loading, then the screen would go blank with no response.
However, when starting the comp in safemode window does load and...
It's not too hard to take the 480 VS 5870 numbers and compare them to 5870 vs 5970 numbers then extrapolate the result.
Bottom line is 5970 is still the clear single card leader as of status quo. However it is still a 2-chip card and thus can't be compared against the 480 fairly. It's also not...
are you serious? the 5670 heatsink is about as small as standard card HSF's come, and is certainly within his size constraints if he was running a X850.
GT240-costs the same as 5670, but performs about 20% worse across the board. It does use less power, but not nearly enough of a difference...
yeah I didn't catch the 250W part of the post, but if that is your envelope and you don't plan to upgrade to a faster psu, then the 5670 is your best option.
example: a 5670, a budget/midrange graphics processor, has a bandwidth of 64GB/s
I know most of this is being used to do the computing rather than actually sending out a display signal, but even so, if you treat games like crysis as a sijmple HD movie running at 1080p, you'll need to be able...
bandwidth issues would drive ISP costs through the roof if this was to match the kind of visuals we have with locally stored games. That and input lag would be horrendous.
Of course I'm not ruling this technology out come ten years into the future, but the infrastructure to support it isn't...
read the entire post before you respond. OP has done the oven method once already. He's still going to try it but would like a backup and failsafe option.
I'd say a 5770 would be a good buy
yeah always push for the upper limit. you should supply some benchmarks (like from AT, techpowerup, etc) of the 4870X2 outperforming the 5850 and possible the 5870. Performance parity is your friend here.
yeah WoW isn't the best benchie game... what were your frames before and what are they now?
If you're already getting playable (ie 40fps) rates with your 3850 then there isn't a whole lot of reason for you to be upgrading to 5850. That sort of horsepower is for bench intensive games like crysis...
it's location near the crossfire bridge would have me thinking that it had something to do with crossfire.
Just intuition, but that doesn't look like any ram chip.
