Newegg has two cards on sale right now, the Sapphire 7850 1 GB for $156 and the HIS 7850 2 GB for $180. I currently have a Sapphire Toxic 5850 1 GB, which has been an awesome card for me but is getting a little old. I've had it for over two years and have been looking to upgrade for a while. Is the 2 GB version worth the extra $25? Should I just spring for two of the Sapphire cards and crossfire? Any input would be appreciated!
So when testing out the marriage system I kinda accidently proposed to someone but I don't want to marry them. I had the marriage ceremony arranged and then just said 'no thanks' which got everyone understandably upset at me. But now I'm wondering if I can marry anyone else, because I tried marrying Lydia, but even when I have the Amulet of Mara on there doesn't seem to be any dialogue options for marrying her. Am I missing something or did I mess something up or do I need to do something before I can marry her? She's also my follower atm, I'm not sure if that has any bearing on the matter. In any case, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Newegg just started their Black Friday sale today with about a dozen video cards on sale, mostly older Nvidia cards (560 ti seems to show up the most often). I'm currently sitting on a 5850 Sapphire Toxic, that mostly does the job, but I've been toying with the idea of upgrading for a while now. Is now the time to do it? And if so, what are the best options? Been hearing good things about dual 7850s which I can get for under $300 dollars now. Or dual 560 ti, which are also under $300 dollars. Or a single 7970 which is $330 now and comes with 3 games. I can't make up my mind/don't know enough to make a choice. So I have turned to you, Gamespot forumers. What do do!?
Well thanks guys, sounds like the Radeon 7950 XFX Black Edition it is. Now I just need to summon up the moral fortitude to spend $300 on a completely unnecessary purchase.
I usually play at 1900x1200 so it seems that the consensus is generally in favor of the 7950. Any particular brands? I've been looking at the XFX Black Edition because I read it overclocks well.
So I currently have a Sapphire Toxic 5850 which still does things fine, but I've been hankering for a new graphics card now for no good reason. I've been looking at the 7950 (or even 7970) but the 660Ti that just came out looks like it's a pretty good card AND it comes with Borderlands 2 which I really want. So is the 7950 enough better than the 660Ti that I should disregard the free Borderlands that comes with it?
So I built my computer about two years ago and am thinking it's time for a little tweaking. Also my current 500 GB harddrive is just about full. So I've been looking around at various HDs but have been having a hard time finding one the right speed, price and reliability. I'd appreciate it if anyone more knowledgeable (just about anyone) had any comments or suggestions for a brand or particular harddrive I should be looking at. I don't want to spend more than $100 (less is better obviously) but I also don't want it to just quit on me after a few weeks.
On a related note, my current set up has 4GB of Corsair RAM. I don't honestly know if more RAM would improve performance on anything (I mainly play games on this computer) but if so what should I get? Just get another 4GB or go all out and get like 12? RAM seems pretty cheap now adays but still don't know if it's worth it. Any thoughts welcome.
