RHKCommander959 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Does the 2900 series support dx10, or dx10.1? And it's pci x16, not pcie2.0? When i looked , nabs all over the i-net been giving different stories... I'm betting 2900's= 320 stream w/ dx10, pci x16, and the 3800's = 320 streamin processors, pcie 2.0, and dx10.1 so then it would be a better idea to spend a few more bucks on like a 512 version of a 3850 rather than on a 512 2900gt/pro?

n_w95482 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I'm betting 2900's= 320 stream w/ dx10, pci x16, and the 3800's = 320 streamin processors, pcie 2.0, and dx10.1 That is correct. As for which card to get, I would lean towards the 3850 myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 thought so, but i also thought about flashing a 2900pro to an xt, but the power uses... screw it thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r3d c0m3t Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Definitely go for the 3850, it'll give you your money worth and then some. I'd recommend going for this one... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814161216 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 I tohught bout it, and went with something similar. for less 10$.. I know the cooling on that is top notch, and it can probably oc past 3870 speeds, but i went with the gecube 3850 512 with their own cooler which was all copper. Looks pretty good, andi think i read someone overclocking the gddr3 to 2ghz. thank you though, i know i'll be happy with this card Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 got my 3850 overclocks to ~ 850/2000. have yet to tweak it. i heard there's a way to raise the voltage a tiny bit using programs like ccc... how? http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/7ysmg/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_w95482 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I highly doubt the CCC would have a manual voltage setting, but ATiTool does. Click the Settings button then select Voltage Control from the drop down menu. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
