hi all,
With my current set up i run a gtx 470 to a 26" tv through a dvi connection which works well.
I'm going to get a new/second rig with a gtx 570 and i'm looking to get a 32/37"tv to use as the main display as the 26" is a bit small for the viewing distance.
My question is this; should i...

Looking for some rts and rpg titles now i have a new rig.
I'm playing The Witcher at the moment and loving it. I like the C&C format for rts but will try anything.
So what would you guys recommend?
when running gpu-z i noticed that the 470 had max temp of 90'c when under heavy load i.e metro 2033 with lots of settings turned right up. So i used afterburner it confirmed the temps, so i set a more aggresive fan setup, it's louder but hits mid 70's now.
So my question is this, is this the...
quick question about ram frequency.
in the spd tab it shows the correct ram frequency pc3-10700 (667mhz) which from what i've read is just it reading what the ram is. As 667x2 = 1334mhz
in the memory tab however it says 534.5x2=1069mhz @ 8-8-8-20.
So am i right in thinking that the ram is 1333...

ok so my rigs in pre-production, i am happy with the spec. This week has thrown a dilemma my way do i stick with a gtx470 or swap to a 6870. From what i have read it seems to be a 6 of one, half dozen of the other scenario. It's (hopefully) in the last day or two of pre-production so i need to...

Oh and if anyone from sales reads this i'm the guy who ranted about his credit card company being a bag of s**** on friday lol
ok i'm looking at the cm690 and the nine hundred two, which has better filters? I have dogs and theres an open fire in the house so filters are a must have item. Leaning towards the antec as the filters are washable, but are they any better?
