    GT 430 for DX11, and 8800 for PhysX?

    Thanks for the links! I'll probably keep the 430 in there until I upgrade. I'm a sucker for DX11 shinies. :)

    GT 430 for DX11, and 8800 for PhysX?

    Yeah I hear ya, just wanted to see what options I had.

    GT 430 for DX11, and 8800 for PhysX?

    Thanks for that info. Yeah, I haven't really been paying attention to hardware the past few years. It does do well and since I have a 17" monitor, 1024 w/a bit of AA does the job well enough. And the 430 was free...

    GT 430 for DX11, and 8800 for PhysX?

    I get that mixed up because GTS used to mean "flagship". Or so I thought. All i know is I was aiming for upper midrange when I bought it.

    GT 430 for DX11, and 8800 for PhysX?

    Ok. Thanks for the replies! You'd be surprised at the 430 though. My 8800 couldn't run STALKER or the newest AVP on highest settings, but the 430 can. And yeah, I just wanted to see what was possible. If I were to buy a new video card, I'd want a whole new system too. :)

    GT 430 for DX11, and 8800 for PhysX?

    I have an MSI nforce6 SLI mobo, and a Galaxy GT 430 and 8800 Gt 320 evga. Is it possible to have one card run Physx and the other card do graphics? I was thinking even though the 430 is slower, it's Dx11 capable, so I'd use that for the graphics, and use the horsepower of the 8800 for PhysX...

    Wireless device setup for HDTV

    I have a wired Wacom tablet, and a variety of other wired devices that I use, and don't want to replace. That being said, our 42" HDTV is about 9 feet away, and none of the cables reach that far. So for right now, the big HTPC is halfway between the couch and the TV. Is there equipment...

    Yet another "workgroup" issue

    My computer is wirelessly connected to our network. I have internet. I can ping other computers on the network. I cannot share files, or see other computers through windows explorer. I click on "workgroup computers" and the computer just gives me a blank look as if to say: "Why are you...

    Antec TruPower 420 & GF8800 GTS?

    eVGA recommends at least a 300watt for the card, so it appears I've got 120 watts, wiggle room. But there are my other components, Audigy 2 and 2 hard drives...and aftermarket cooler? Will the 420 cut it?

    SATA 3/gb and NCQ

    Are all SATA 2 drives these days including NCQ? Does NCQ really make a diff in speed? I'm eyeing all manner of Seagate drives, and some mention NCQ and some don't...but they're all SATA 2's it looks like...

    $1100 to spend

    I didn't hear Intel was cutting prices. Hmmm, back to Newegg...Yeah, definitely spring for the mid/low end 8000 series. Wee!

    $1100 to spend

    Yeah I saw the article and I'll probably wait. Thanks for the feedback guys, you're right. I play games but I don't need 1920x++++ resolutions at full graphics so...Non SLI, I'll check around.

    $1100 to spend

    My current setup is A642800 Geforce 2 Biostar shittastick NF3 mobo. SB Audigy 2 Platinum ZS 512 MB Ram I'm going for a setup that can handle: Non-linear editing, 3d applications, 2d applications (PS!), and Adobe After Effects...a lot better than what it's doing right now. (poop) With...
