One thing I hate is ATI drivers but especially the new CCC. Also they can't make decent drivers for Linux.

Soapboy is right, That is The crossfire connector..
Also, i would like to add that IS a new connector, with the older Crosfire ( listen to that, older
) Setup, it wouldent allow any higher of a res of something like 1200X1600 or something.. people bitched and ATI Changed it. Hence the new connector's..
i can get the offical info if needed.

Electricity here is $.18 per kwh. If I played and were addicted to WoW , averaging 8 hours a day, every day, that's $20 (YOU FUCKING IDIOT FORGOT TO DIVIDE BY THREE) of electricity a month!Scarface wrote:Holy fuck, the x1900 xtx on it's own under full loads draws 459W, fucking insane

Damn, I thought it seemed kind of high. Now checking my math I see I forgot to divide by three. 
It'd be $20/month.
But... electricity rates are now up 33% over last month (fuck you PG&E). This would bring it up to $26. Still quit a load of cash to put into it.

WoW wouldn't require a kwh worth of electric. Do you shut down your PC whenever you aren't using it?mjrpes wrote:Damn, I thought it seemed kind of high. Now checking my math I see I forgot to divide by three.
