Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
dual-link is different than dual-dvi. Dual-dvi is two DVI ports.. dual-link dvi will be a single dvi port but there's no way of telling whether it will hold that resolution other than contacting dell and asking. Unless there's something on the spec page of your laptop. I'd just call Dell...
it's not that i'm saying that ati is better... i'm just saying that the source engine is built for ATI. However, I still bought my 7900GT knowing that because of a) it's lifetime warranty, b) evga's step-up program, and c) i was just getting tired of ATI and wanted to try nvidia.
I'm very...
he's right, source is made for ati cards. i have a 7900GT though and it rapes as well. I play on 1680x1050 on my dell 2005fpw 20.1" LCD. 99 fps constant except in heavy battles with a lot of smoke etc. I also play with everything on high with aa/af. either one would be a good choice. If you can...
if you could step up with ati cards i'd say go for it... but right now it's not worth it. your card is good and an x1900xt would not be worth what you'd pay to upgrade. you probably couldnt' sell your x1800xt for anywhere near what you bought it for and you'd be buying the x1900xt at a high...
if you check the evga forums ... there are other people that have received just oem cards and they've complained and evga has fixed it for them. no that's not what's supposed to happen. Contact evga and if that doesn't work post on their Step-Up Forum complaining and they'll fix it right there...
He said he could sell his 6800GS for MORE than what he was buying the x850xt for.... so it would mean money in his pocket and a better video card in his computer. I don't understand how that's a bad thing.
i don't know why everyone is suggesting the x1900xtx. the 7950 outperforms it in everything except for oblivion (which is loses by a small margin), and has 1gb of memory.
