I've had my dual 6970's since December, 2011. So close to 5 years now. It will be the last time I keep cards even remotely that long in the future. I haven't been able to max out games at 2560x1600 since probably around late 2013. I'm likely going to be upgrading very soon to the 1070 when it...
I'm running AMD's Catalyst, which is the control panel for my video cards. Messing through those settings still is not letting me change my resolution.
It just shows 1920x1080 as the highest, there's nothing that's grayed out or anything. When I unplug the smaller monitor it immediately goes back to 2560x1600 and becomes an option again. I am running two 6970's crossfired and even when I plug the smaller monitor to my second card it does the...
I'm running Windows 7 and I'm going through the control panel and going to "Appearance and Themes" and going to "Change screen resolution". It's just every time I select extend the screen with my monitor it forces my U3011 to go to 1080p and gives no selection to go any higher. I'm really hoping...
I currently have a 6970 and an using a Dell U3011 (2560x1600). I decided to buy a smaller monitor to use when I game so I can watch videos while I'm playing. It was an older Dell 4:3, 15" monitor that has a resolution of 1280x800. The problem is when I connect my smaller monitor in, it will...
Good luck getting reliable frames above 60 FPS on that resolution. The video cards out now are struggling to maintain playable frames at 2560x1600 at less than stellar settings on newer games. Unless you play old games you'd need a minimum of Crossfire/SLI on top end cards to even slightly take...
Exactly what I was thinking. I was at opposite ends on that, anything above a 24" at 1080p is a crime for monitors. I had a friend who has a 28" Haans G monitor at 1920x1200 resolution and it looked absolutely garbage compared to my U3011.
Pretty much, the two important differences is that the 670's will future proof you a bit more with that extra 512 megabytes of VRAM. Also the 670's use a hell of a lot less power than a 580.
You're right the value is of the eye's of the beholder. My concern is some people are hyping up the 7850 based on their bias. Unless the OP is on the edge of having acceptable/unacceptable frames he will be disappointed. The problem with this is even if the 7850 is a little bit faster and gives...
What a vague estimate there, if it is in the 20% then it's not even worth the time of day to buy a new card. The 40% depends on the game as well as the individuals card to overclock. Would not recommend to get a 7850 unless you have some cash to burn, then again if you have cash to burn just get...
A sidegrade at best, a 7870 is just a wee bit faster than a 7850 when both are overclocked. You'll see probably about a 15% increase in performance, and even a little bit less if you unlocked that 6950 to a 6970. Basically you'd be throwing away money. The only real upgrade to a 6950 would be a...
At 1080p you should be fine for atleast 2 years if you want to max out everything. Battlefield 3 set a really high bar for graphics and to be honest I don't see anything coming out anytime soon that is more GPU stressful than that. Sadly more and more popular titles are becoming mere console...
The very minimal times where your screen is flooded and the FPS spikes are unavoidable. It used to happen to me when I played D2 and Starcraft as well. I don't believe much can be done to avoid that even with good GPU power, although the processors a factor when dealing with tons of mobs too.
