I'm sorry that your first experience with AMD has not gone well...

Do you have a question or did you just wanna rant?

Ok so I never have had a ATI card and I thought id try one out for a while.. I picked a up a HIS 6850 Ice q turbo... I dont know if it's a driver issue or what but I see other Non overclocked 6850's on youtube and how they handle crysis and bc2 and mine doesnt compare. for examle.. Im playing Bc2 right now with everything on High AA is on 1x and Afilter is on 1 and a rez of 1280/800.. Not to mention I have a 28inch monitor. and it's like choppy almost...and I have had so much trouble with the drivers.. Why the heck did I go to ATI, I called them and they said it might be a faulty card. I mean I should be able to run these games on High.. no?. I think im going to return the card and get an Nvidia card.. a 460 or something worth $200... I mean come on my 260 was better then this... Im just angry... GRrrr!

Keep in mind it runs source/trackmania/flatout just fine...so who the hell knows...ugh

"Once we had finished overclocking we followed a hint from MSI and installed the BIOS from the X58 Pro SLI motherboard. We downloaded BIOS version 8.0, booted with a USB key and installed the BIOS without any trouble. The result was that our X58 Pro suddenly gained the ability to run SLI as well as CrossFire so we plugged in a pair of GeForce GTX 280 graphics cards and ran a quick set of benchmarks which delivered impressive results. "

Got it :)

Iv always used Nvidia, but recently I was going to run two 9800gt's SLI but it wasnt working, then looked into my MOBO and noticed it says Crossfire. ( im afraid to go to ATI! :(

Ok, I have a x58 pro motherboard that says it runs Crossfire. Mind you ths is a MSI Mobo.. anyways I want the MSI gtx 560, Nvidia.. Now im confused. why it wouldnt let me use SLI or would it?

Thanks

I quit for a bit then went back, got on 1st try.. Maybe they fixed it..???

After an hour of trying I finally got in a game.... and I must say it was really fun.. Game runs alot smoother then the Orig and better gfx IMO..

Wow, Iv yet to get a game to launch.. every sits in the lobby and THE GAMES NEVER START! Crytek WTF... and when it does it counts down and the ticker gets stuck on 1.. and not to mention the chat lags like hell.. * this has happend every server iv joined...

Thank you SIR!

So I installed the game but were the heck does it install too... It's not in the same folder the installer was in an cant find it when I search for it, anyone else having this same problem???

-Thanks
