I need/want a new video card

[Rand{CLR}]

Measure your case. I had to choose from a very specific set of cards because I didn't have enough room clear between my fixed HD cages for the largest cards on the market.

Good point. According to the spec sheet below it's 10.5 inches in length.

Cain,

Im currently runing 2 570s in SLI and have not been dissapointed yet. Got them for less than $300 including rebates on amazon with 2 day free shipping. I have not been dissapointed yet with them. You will be very happy with the 570.

I'm thinking I'll get one now, and when I build a new PC in the Fall get a second one then.

Ughh, that 9650 of yours running at 3 ghz ...

Need to man up an OVERCLOCK that bad boy !! My 2.66ghz is running fine on its third year at 3.5 ghz at stock voltages, and with a voltage bump I can do 3.66. That's a full 1ghz overclock on an older Kenstfield chip, so I'd imagine your Penryn could hit 4 ghz with good cooling. It'd be like getting a CPU upgrade to pair up with your GPU upgrade.

I have been overclocking it, but when I'm ingame it bluescreens on me from time to time.

The 570 will be a nice increase for you now and later you can get rest f the parts. This is what I'm doing with minis computer, he will need MB, CPU and probably windows and a second gtx 460se. I put several of the parts in a wish list and periodically I get notifications that a part in my list is on sale. I bought his RAM when it came across on one of their daily deals.

I heard if you drop it down a notch until it stops doin that, you've hit the sweetspot. But what do I know. I'm runnin stock 2.8

Did you fiddle with the voltages? I know my older if had BSODs if i didn't e the memory voltage up.

You guys gonna have to make up your mind with the different color screens. How am I to help if you cant stick together.

Yea, what Duke said. If you havent tried the voltage increase that could be it with it doing it occasionally.

[Cain]

I did not fiddle with the voltages I was afraid..

Find the specs for your RAM and read reviews to see what people are getting, in my situation the voltage was not going to the 2.1v it was supposed to so I had to set in manually I would blue screen unless I did this.

[Cain]

I was afraid over volting would mess up my RAM, HD and CPU.

[TheSilentAssassin]

Ive never messed with OCing my rig except for the graphics card because I don like the idea of playing with the voltages. Im not that good with it.
