Adding a second graphics card to current system

So the general consensus is to go for it? Only a $100 investment to improve the look of Battlefield 3 and Skyrim. Sounds like a yay?

Adding a second graphics card to current system

I am the CPU. In all seriousness though, it's an AMD 965 BE. About the artifacting: I did open an RMA case with XFX but never ended up going through with it. I honestly cannot remember why and it hasn't really been an issue since (or I've gotten too used to it). So yea, now that you guys...

XFX 5770 Issues - Artifacts?

Yep, it follows. Maybe I'm a huge dumbass and it has nothing to do with either the video card or monitor. I'm going to post a video of what I'm talking about. I'll swallow my pride if I'm just an idiot, who cares.

Yep, when they are by themselves, there is no problem. The problem is only there on the one monitor, when they are both being used...

XFX 5770 Issues - Artifacts?

Ya, I just updated the drivers. The clocks are stock (875/1300) as I don't over-clock my gear. Anyways, with the one monitor, there is no 'artifacting' -- I don't even know if it is artifacting. The image just seems to distort for a quick second, especially when a flash video is present. What...

XFX 5770 Issues - Artifacts?

I did get in touch with XFX and they are issuing an RMA for the card, although I would prefer to avoid it (the thought of paying a f**king brokerage fee bothers me). I should do some more testing, you're right.

Machine build assistance

So, the general feeling here is to go with an AMD build, which will make me happy performance wise and money wise? Aside from that, drop down from an i7 to an i5? I started looking into AMD, they are pretty cheap, like really cheap. I've also seen a few times mentioned, the new hexa-core...

Appreciate all the feedback guys. It's tax return money, so it's money 'already' spent, haha. Two things; in a year from now, which would I be more happy with, the Intel or the AMD? Another reason I like the Intel better is because of the fact that it's the MAJOR architecture out there. I had...
