What is it and do I need one?
Sorry, just looked up the price and realised I don't need one, whatever it is.

I've found ASUS really reliable, and the difference between the EVGA version seems marginal - slightly higher stock clock speed, but the ASUS has the voltage tweak utility to overclock it anyway.
But honestly, after looking at a bunch of benchmarks the ATI cards whip the 590 in most cases...not to mention about $350 cheaper. I've always kind of liked ATI (my last two cards have been radeons) even though I despise AMD processors and will never buy another.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
Well if I were going to be honest, I'd actually go with the EVGA GTX 460 2WIN more than likely. Yes... it's a 400 series card. As for overclocking, I already use EVGA Precision with my SLI'd 9800 GTs.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
I'd love one of these ASUS HD 6990 dual-GPU but I just find it completely impossible to justify spending $900 for a graphics card.
Granted I want something that's going to be useful for a couple of years, but considering I'm using a crappy old Radeon 4850 with 512mb and can still run pretty much every new game on max settings, I think something about $400 will do me just fine. Thing that pisses me off about my current one is that it came out right before directX 11...lol

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
Realised about 10 second before ordering a card that my 400w PSU wasn't going to cut it
So I had to buy a cheaper card, got
ASUS HD 6950 Dual Fan 2gb 810MHz
and found this PSU which I think is a freakin bargain
OCZ 750W FATAL1TY
750w, $139, 4x6+2 pin pci-e, 5 year warranty? fucking sold me...

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
Well MSRP on the EVGA GTX 460 2WIN is listed as $429.99 which is pretty nice considering it's supposed to out perform the GTX 580 which is regularly around $500.Jupiter551 said:
Cool stuff man. Enjoy your new card when it arrives. I want to say my computer came with a 650 Watt PSU so I still have a little juice to spare. Problem is I don't think I have any 8 pin PCI Express on mine.Jupiter551 said:Realised about 10 second before ordering a card that my 400w PSU wasn't going to cut it

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
Yeah I still cant believe that PSU has all those features for that price..and it's made for intensive gaming, got amazing reviews

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
I got the card...and it doesn't fucking fit..physically...
bscene-hanged:
Dunno what kind of retards (well Dell actually) design a mainboard pci-e 2.1 slot literally 1 inch from the bottom of the case.
The card takes up 2.5 slots, I have 4 available so I thought no problem..wrong...the pci-e pins are at the chipset at the "top" of the card, with another 2.5 slots worth of fans, copper piping and heat sinks underslung.
I dunno why I'm surprised by any of this, it always happens - all I wanted was a new video card (spent $350)
Spent an extra $139 on a psu to support it, now I'm going to have to get either a new mainboard ($250+) and/or a new case ($150)...it's almost making a whole new computer jesus...
Because even if I get a new case there's still no guarantee I can fit it, since the idiots not only put the pci-e slot right at the bottom of all the possible slots, under that at the very bottom are the jacks for the front USB hub and sd card/firewire ports.
And even if I manage to get a return on the card, any other current generation card is at least 2 slots and that close to the bottom of the case there will be no airflow...bscene-hanged:
The only good thing out of all this is the PSU is great, even if it's eerily quiet..

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
Glad my case and board are designed better. Hurray for the XPS line being pretty serious about performance when I bought mine.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
yeah mine's an XPS too, but minitower version, guess I should have checked what the MT suffix stood for when I bought it heh.
Anyway, in a show of my trademark 10% brains 90% reckless bravado at 1am this morning I transplanted the whole thing into a case from a 1999 celeron I had laying around - and it works lol.
It has wires sticking out in weird places, I had to ditch the front mount usb ports, sd/md card, 1394 etc, the power button is not mounted in the case and has to be pushed in with a ballpoint pen, and I'm scared to bump it in case it explodes. But it works, the card is mounted and operable.
It'll do for a week or two then I'll be paid again and get one of these, read lots of happy user posts about it and know at least one guy has put my dell system in it with no hassles.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
Cool beans, Jupiter. I have dreams of building a new rig in an Antec Twelvehundred but we'll see if that ever pans out... probably not for a WHILE.
For the meantime, I won't be upgrading this one any further no matter what... just praying it keeps running since the Warranty is running out soonish if it hasn't already.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
Postscript: that coolermaster case sucks balls. I bought one, it's huge on the outside, small on the inside, and anything plastic snaps off really easily. Won't be buying another of those...had to.."adjust" part of the hard drive cage with a hammer to fit in my graphics card.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
I've successfully built 2 or 3 in Coolermaster's old Centurion line of cases so it's not all of them. That one in particular looks more flashy than useful to me when I looked it up on Newegg. Like I said... I want to build in an Antec Twelve Hundred for my next set up but I don't see it coming too soon. I've not put together anything in a Twelve Hundred yet but I've done 3 of them in the Nine Hundred series cases and they were quite nice to work with.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
that still doesn't look like it'd fit my card tbh, cos the hdd mounts or whatever they are, are directly behind the slot, the card's 11.5 inches long and 3 deep...the funny thing is the old atx case from 10 years ago I put it in first, fit it no problem

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
Maybe... the Twelve Hundred is 20.2 inches long... the Coolermaster you got on the otherhand measures 19.2 inches. The Twelve Hundred has it beat by an inch. Might fit.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
yeah, well the next case I buy I'm gonna have to make sure and probably the best idea is to get one where I can remove the hdd cages or whatever cos who the hell needs 6 hard drives if their video card won't fit lol

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
I suspect MOST casese that are 20 inches or more in length would hold your card as long as they don't have some kind of craziness beyond a HDD Fan and cage taking up room opposite where your cards will be mounted. That said, ATI makes some INSANELY long cards. Nvidia has some rather large cards too but I'm pretty sure ATI's high end cards are longer on average.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
Nah it's cos it's got like copper piping, twin fans with their own big heatsinks etc...but even that makes it only 0.5 inches bigger, same with the nvidia 580 DCII version; 11.5 inch, regular version 11 inch.
http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/ENGTX580_DCII2DIS1536MD5/#specifications
evga reference cards are only .5 inches less again...either way you'd stand a risk of not fitting your card in - or just not having enough airflow around it it JUST fits in. I think chip power is (again) outpacing cooling tech, and at this point in time you just can't have adequate cooling of a high end card without taking up some space.
The full size old-school atx case I have, which used to hold a celeron pIII of all things, has about 4 inches to spare behind the card, just cos it doesnt have a stupid amount of hard drive bays. I guess I just don't get it lol. If you need 6 hard drives you need to buy them bigger in the first place lol.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
Well I dunno about the ATI chips to be honest since I'm a bit of an EVGA and Nvidia fan but the Fermi is definitely guilty of using a LOT of power to do its thing and all that power means lots of heat. I blame the chip manufacturers, game makers, and consumers all to a certain degree actually. The situation has chip manufacturers stuck in this arms race that's forcing them both to push performance so far that neither of their chips is as efficient as they could be. I'm just glad the 400 series Fermi chips reached what I think is an acceptable level of power consumption for the performance they offer compared to the ATI equivalent. Those 200 series Fermi chips were insane.
That said, the Nvidia GTX 590 and the AMD Radeon HD 6990 are the two new dual chip cards and as you can see from the two spec cards lined up below, the AMD card has the Nvidia card beat by a nice bit there on length.

Re: Sorry girls, no tips this month, in love with a new mode
yep but they're both monsters that radeon card is 12" and the nvidia is 11", and neither would have fit in my case before I pulled out my hammer
ati cases always seem a bit more "enclosed" to me, the reference cards anyway, which might be why they come off bulkier.
I just read that the gtx 590 has the most awesome feature ever, how is ATI gonna top this
How about this one, 30 inches front to back lol
I like this idea, can just slot out one of the hdd cages if you need something in that space
