Gigabyte HD 3870 Question

The other day I came close to ?pulling the trigger? on a new ATI HD3870, Gigabyte model GV-RX387512H. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814125086 But then I read one of the reviews that pointed out that this card uses GDDR3 memory as opposed to GDDR4 like all of the other...

HDTV Output from 6 series cards?

Yes and no. Yes in that the S video connector is actually a sort of DIN type of connection which accepts S video cable and the adaptor cable Leadtek provided. The adaptor allows you to connect the PC to TV via component input. A better solution would be to employ the DVI out or HDMI if you...

Would this Power supply be enough to power my 6800 GS?

As I understand it a 6800GS only has 12 pipelines, there are no additional 4 to unlock. Just OC the heck out of it they seem to be very conducive to OCing.

6800GT or 6800GS

Thanks for the reply CKXP but I don't plan on overclocking, shoulda' been a little more clear in the beginning. As it is, upgrading from a passively cooled 6600GT to a 6800 GT/GS with a referance fan is going to be bad enough unless I drop another $30 for an Arctic Cooler. I do have one...

6800GT or 6800GS

Yeah, I kinda figured that even with all the good press the GS has gotten it would be hard to discount the 16 pipes on the GT when it comes to overall performance at roughly the same price.

6800GT or 6800GS

As the title suggests, a refurb 6800GT or a 6800GS within $10 of each other. What do you guys think is the better option? TIA.

Slipstream CD w/SATA Drivers and SATA ODD

Thanks for the replies. We have an IDE ODD available but sometimes we have to do things the hard way just to see if it can be done like that. The mobo is an Abit AN7, we'll see if the old gal can take it from a SATA drive. Thanks again.

Slipstream CD w/SATA Drivers and SATA ODD

The discussion is as follows on a new build; having an nF2 mobo, SATA HDD and SATA ODD (no FDD) would a slipstreamed OS with the SATA drive CD, boot the PC? I say no, since the SATA optical drive would not be a recognized device. IMO, an IDE ODD is required regardless if the SATA drivers...
