Any of you running one of these with the 'ANALOGUE' Trippie???

Would be great if one of you is...

:?:

drop the ati cards then buy digital th2go

u'll be alot happier and playing in true thgo glory :) like me :P

Switch that ati poo to nVidia.

Ati's cant run 3x 1680x1050 monitos. But nVidia (280 series) can.

On analogue TH the max is 3840x1024
On digital TH the max is 5040x1050 (NVidia cards only)*
On digital TH the max is 4320x900 (ATi cards) for widescreen TH

The problem I had

I do get peed off with getting stuff and having to FleaBay it.. :)

Nvidia / ATI.. OK well at least ATI releasing the 4870 made Nvidia drop the prices.

Oh hell.. I don't know.. Do I sling my DFI Board and HD4870 in for a SLI setup...
