    Crossfire?

    Unfortunately the mishap caused the destruction of the cable rather than the loss of the cable. Digging into the cleaner I can do, repairing a broken cable I can't.... Cheers for the help guys. What kind of gain can I look to expect from an additional 5830?

    Monitor issues

    Hey guys I have 2 monitors attached to my main gaming PC - Samsung 2343NW [23" 2048x1152] and Acer AL1916W hooked to my ATI 5850, which has been chugging along for over 2 months now... Yesterday, windows decided it would like to update itself, and I let it, but today, upon loading into...
