i used crossfire 6870 and man that was terrible. I hope amd new drivers they rolling out will fix the issues it has. Cus i intend to crossfire the 7950. Not looking to upgrade to 1 better gpu in a year na. too much money.

Actually some old cards have the yellow component video jack like what it have on VCR and ting.

More rare than s-video though.

yeah my old geforce 2 had the yellow component, and you could connect it to the tv with that.

What model tv is it? Most flat screens have almost all types of inputs.

it has a rgb jack like that above with audio in

and well like 5 hdmi jacks and component sets

i was thinking all i need is a vga to vga jack to be able to use to the tv but

rgb and vga is two diff things from what i understand.

by the way how much for a hdmi card for a computer(but then can my computer support that?)? does it have external ones cheap?

Once you have a PCI-E slot you are supported for the cards , cards rang from 400 to 3 figures .

True eh, at least they getting some airflow from the h50's fan at the front.

Cutting two fan holes on the lower side panel would help alleviate the heat issue as well.

What cards are those anyway? Looks like gtx 480's.

Like how this came out considering the space you had to work with, well done. Could prob mount a small 80mm fan on top the sli to give a sum xtra air.

I see GTX 680 selling for 499.99 USD brand new and men selling used for 3000 + . I also see Wizz have EVGA 680 for. 3600 . So need to drop it down .
