In the same dilemma as you, but decided to bite on this. The 7850 would need to be ~$185 to be equal on price/performance (+20-30% gains), I'm betting the 7850 will be sitting at $200-220 with rebates even when they do come down. I don't demand 4xMSAA and 16xAF on the newest titles, and this is...
It's not the monitor or the DVI cable as they both work while using onchip graphics.
I've tried both an asus GTX460 card, and an xfx ati 5770, same issue with both. Both of these graphics cards boot fine in my other machine.
Anyone else have problems booting discrete graphics on this board?
Boots to onchip video (iGPU) just fine, can use windows no problem. Tried two different discrete GPU's - blank screen on boot, though mobo light and HD light indicates that it is booting just fine but not displaying any video...
Thanks for the input all.
Unfortunately this budget will have to include monitor and multiple hard drives, so i5-2500 is the best I can do. Even then it will be more in the 1200 range (budget IPS panel requested), but I think he'll be ok with that.
Still considering AMD alternative in...
So my friend wants a new desktop for primarily video editing, but also gaming (~$150gpu), but needs it pretty urgently for some upcoming project.
At his budget (~$1000 total) it doesn't seem like there is much savings advantage to going with Nehalem, but would there be better stability in going...
graphics aren't everything. gameplay is really fun, and there are a ton of mods.
Also, this game is ridiculously scalable (I can even play it on a GMA950).
i always assumed it was because it takes longer for the body oils from the scalp to make their way through the length of the hair.
with short hair the oil takes far less time to reach an unacceptable "saturation level"
after having both long and short hair i can tell you i only wash long...
i would love to see tipping done away with. it's like socialism for eating out. (no i don't have a problem with socialism per se, but this is a socialism based on cheapness not on ability and need.)
a lot of people don't realize that waiters get paid far less than minimum wage because they are...
i've had my boss like me but my boss' boss not so much. However, the key thing was that the boss' boss' boss' boss --that i spoke to on a daily basis as a function of my job-- liked me.
wait, it's supposed to be boss' right? i always hate the way s-ending possessives look.
i'm not a fat ass even if standing up i just step into both legs and then reach down and pull up the jeans. like i said when i think of it i stand on the balls of my feet, that way they don't snag when i pull them up.
