Use the 5870 for the 3 screens running FSX. For the rest, just buy pre-made cockpits/panels which already have displays that are compatible with FSX.

It is best to save up and buy a new one. Some are really cheap.

What do you mean by worry? Are you worried about performance? Or worried about it not working at all? Well it should work but performance will be slower.

Hi all. I just wanted to ask about the temperature readings of the "Core Temp" software which is used to monitor CPU temperatures. The program shows the temperature for each core. It also has this "Low High Load" temp readings. My question is what do those temp measurements mean? What's Low and High...

Definitely get the i7 950 because of the price drop in August!

I was able to find a fix for this problem. Turn off the new chatbox by pressing "`"

It worked!

A couple of days ago I mentioned that Intel will be releasing the i5 760 soon. Just today, they officially announced that it will be released next month at the same price as the 750.

Is the performance of your 2 gb 5870 enough to run your two monitors at max settings on arma II/OA? If not then I doubt it if crossfire 5870 will run three monitors with the same settings.

I noticed that my fps definitely dropped with this new bc2 patch while still using the same graphic settings as before. The way you walk and move the mouse around to look feels very sluggish and has some kind of delay. The pings were alright so it's not a connection issue. Anyone having the same iss...

I highly recommend two things:

1. Coolermaster HAF-X Computer Case
2. An SSD!

Note: The i5 750 will be discontinued very much soon due to the upcoming i5 760.

Dual monitors meaning the game is stretched out to both monitors? Or a game that will show two different informations on both monitors? If the latter, the only games I knew that will support that is Flight Simulator X (Cockpit View on 2nd monitor) and Supreme Commander (Map on 2nd monitor).

The problem is that even though you had your 8800 gts for only about a year, that card is still already almost 3 years old since release. Just buy a new GPU regardless because you won't really get that much money selling it anyway.

Your system is still fine. Why do you need to upgrade? It is better to wait for Sandy Bridge.

Since you wanted high frame rates then you should've bought a faster GPU. You already spent more than $600 (2x5850) so a 5970 would've been better. Don't expect too much performance considering you are playing at a very high resolution. How bad is the fps really? Just lower your settings and be happ...

Why even bother buying a second 5970? What games do you play and what settings are not maxed out when using a single 5970? Also, why spend all these money just to play games? Just get rid of your physics card if you ever buy the second 5970. Probably the games you play don't really need physx.
