Which of these two Graphic cards will run Battlefield 3 at all max setting and everything maxed out smoothly? (Really new to PC Gaming to sorry if this is a dumb question)
1. AMD Radeon HD6970 Crossfire (Dual-Cards)
2. NVidia Geforce GTX 590 (Single)
Please let me know! Thanks!|||with hd 6970 crossfire - you can play any game in high setting which released till now.
thanks|||Both of these cards would definitely run Battlefield 3 at the maximum settings. However, that depends on what CPU you have and how much RAM you're carrying. If you're unsure of which card is better, the GTX 590 is the way to go.|||single HD6970 will do. i'm done playing that game with only HD5770 (single card). but you must also consider the memory and CPU of your computer. 4Gb DDR3 mems and 3Ghz Quadcore CPU will do the trick.|||AMD Radeon HD6970 Crossfire|||Nvidia. just make sure you don't bottle neck, your cpu should all ways be around the same price range as your graphics card.

Is it in any way negative to have a full screen game running on one 27 inch screen whilst the second screen?
(24inch) displays info from Windows such as temperatures, fan speeds and GPU load via Catalyst Control Centre?
I'm running a new HD6970.
I'm guessing that since the card can handle massive Eyefinity resolutions that it shouldn't be an issue but one screen will be in game and the other will be showing the desktop and a few open apps|||Cooling has nothing to do with it.
You can imagine that it takes a lot of resources for your to computer (especially your videocard) to drive 2 different displays.
That is at least, 2 different displays with 2 different resolutions.
It will drag down your overal performance when gaming.
But if it doesn't influence your framerate or makes the game stuttery, you can just leave it.
But to answer your question more exactly, no.... it's not negative but it will take some amount of resources :)|||you shouldn't worry at all if it works fine !!!
by the way you need not wanted to mention you are using a 24 inch monitor because the size of the monitor doesn't matter but its the size of pixel assigned to it will definitely have an affect.
suppose you are running on 1280x800 pixels in the 24 inch monitor and your second monitor is at a resolution of 800x600 will not be having much affect on but it really does matter when both of your monitors are having 1280x800 or at higher resolution.
The main resources used will be your vram(video memory of your ati card).If you have a single display it will use just the memory required for it.But if there are two outputs(monitors) it is definite that it will use more vram and therefore slow down your game.
Note: it is up to the games video memory requirement.
Also catalystControll center is known to eat up your prcoccessor speed !!!
If you have an old game that doesn't demand much it should go well.
so keep thinking|||There really shouldn't be anything negative, so long as they've both been formally introduced and understand that they need to get along for the sake of everyone involved...|||Not a problem, if you have a decent cooling system, or if your computer is inside a freezer.|||Two computer screens running at the same time??!?!
Pftttttt.....now you're just showing off Doc!! *giggles*|||Not at all. And women thing they can multi-task.

ASUS HD6970 DirectCU II 2GB vs VTX3D HD6970 2GB X-Edition?
Which performs better? Thanks|||You can get far better performance from the ASUS one if you overclock it - the DCU II cooler is epic so this will be easy. ASUS also make higher quality graphics cards than VTX3D.|||either or. isn't ASUS the better brand.|||VTX3D HD6970 2GB X-Edition has a faster core clock
HD6970 CF or GTX570 SLI?
I have been struggling with this question from a few days now and from what I found HD6970 x2 in Crossfire beats GTX570 x2 in SLI with few fps, something like 4-8fps... and they both cost exactly the same.
The thing is that I would like to get 3D monitor and Nvidia 3D Vision kit, I don't understand how 3D with ATI works, heard that they need specific monitors to run 3D and it is more complicated.
Personally I put 3D over these few fps, but I need to see different opinions.|||This is a list of TVs, monitors, glasses, and projectors that currently support HD3D (AMD):
http://www.amd.com/us/products/technolog…
NVidia 3D Vision is a proprietary 3D system, whereas HD3D is more open and compliant with 3D standards. You must use NVidia's licensed hardware and software with 3D Vision, whereas HD3D supports more (albeit fragmented) hardware and natively supports the HDMI 1.4 standard for HDTVs and monitors.
However, 3D Vision is tried and true, and HD3D is relatively new.
If 3D is that important to you, then go with Nvidia.

I use a Radeon HD6970, which needs 550W of power, what does it mean in terms of Electricity Consumption?
Will I expect a higher cost in my electricity bill?|||The 6970 itself only uses about 220W on maximum load, but im assuming you have a 550W PSU
550W refers to 550W per hour on maximum load. Your energy consumption is measured in kWh. From memory, here in Australia, its 28 cents per kWh. So, for example, you are running your computer on absolute maximum load for a period of time, say 2 hours (this is hard to do, seeing that you would have to be running a stability test or something), you would consume 1100W, or 1.1kWh. that would cost ~30 cents in Australia. However, your GPU runs on about 3% on idle and your CPU not much more. therefore, if you are not playing hours upon hours of games, i wouldnt worry too much about power consumption.
HOWEVER, do be mindful that this is a high drawing PC component so youre power bill may be slightly higher

Can I (gamer) notice any functional difference between Radeon HD6950 & Radeon HD6970? Should I overpay to get?
Doesn't look to me like the HD6970 is worth $70 more than the HD6950 at this time.
Hopefully for AMD/ATI's sake, drivers updates will catapult it ahead.|||pc gamers spend to much money pimpin' his computers
when you can get an all way ready xbox.|||no its not go with the cheap one.
