i have the sapphire! and i have it unlocked.. but i tend to get alot of Hard Freezing

cant figure what it is

Did you OC is as well, or just unlock the shaders? If you OC as well, maybe it is just not a good clocker. However I find that hard to believe because most everyone I have heard of can get a solid 950mhz core on the Toxic cards. Which is a nice 150mhz OC from stock 6950s

Maybe it doesn't actually have the shaders it's trying to access? Also, do you have those AMD Preview drivers?

Phantom its not an EVGA card lol. He bought ATI/AMD, EVGA dont do ATI/AMD.

I'm aware of that. I just mentioned something that happened to me.

btw, for ATI/AMD cards use MSI afterburner. it has the same functionality as precision. in fact, they both use the same source code.

Didnt mess with the clocks or memory on the card before I sent it back but the CCC has all that available if need be. It was running at 900 as it was.

non-gaming laptop advice...

Turning to you good folks for some advice on laptops.

I'm not looking for a gaming specific laptop, I have my desktop for that. What I'm looking for is a laptop for travel / on the road. I shoot music concerts and my editor has asked me for a quicker turnaround time (ie right after the show) and the only way to do that is to bring a laptop and transfer right after the show.

So I'm in the market for something...but not sure where. Last laptop i bought was 5-6 years ago for my ex-wife, it was a Dell. Did the job fine, but i'm wondering if there is better and what is available in terms of possibilities with a laptop.

- I need decent hard drive space, nothing major, as its more for in the field editing, not storage
- I need high RAM, as running photoshop, lightroom and so on can be intense at times. 4 is a must, 8 would be nice.
- It needs to be somewhat small. I thinking max 15inches. I'm already lugging 2 bodies, 3-4 lenses to a show, dont want to add to the weight (and chance of it being stolen)
- Good screen resolution, colours and such is also important.

I currently have an EEE PC netbook thingy which was fine for travel, but i need something that works better in the field.

Any advice? Or should I just hit up Dell...

Thanks!

I have been looking at laptops gaming for a while. Many of the base models come equiped with some powerful hardware that would suit your needs. I assume cpu power and ram would be what would be looking for. I am on my phone now but when o get a chance I will make a proper response with some linkage.

Wow, realised I replied to a thread instead of making my own...sorry 'bout that...

Dell Outlet is a good place to go for laptops. They'll knock hundreds of bucks off the price, and the turnover rate is borderline absurd so there will be a lot to choose from. I bought our current vacation/wife home-use laptop from them some years ago and it's been a great low-cost investment.
