    I also have the "Do not disturb!" sign with the XFX alpha dog that came with my old XFX 8800GS. It was really cool, IDK why they changed the design, though.

    Linus, I looked at your crossfire/sli compatibility video which says that you can crossfire two video cards with the same GPU. Because the hd6870 and 6850 have the same GPU, can you crossfire them?

  11. Zaxkcy says:

    I am lagging my balls off in COD 4 on default settings with the newest drivers with this card. WHY???

  12. mrCornTozz says:

    @dhkenny2001 ..thnks bro..i like the hawk design anyway..but i`m already bought asus gtx 460 1gb..hahahahaaaa

  13. TheMrSmoothi says:

    Why dont Linus make Contest? So we can win some of the stuff ?

  14. Japsenliebhaber says:

    @Lubotsulat i sent you a list where all the actual cards are compared to each other but you should invest a bit more for a 470 or 6870 if you need to buy a new gpu anyway

  15. Lubotsulat says:

    Whats better this or the Gtx 460?I m looking to buy a new graphics card since my 9800gt died,So which is better this or the 460 gtx?

    @tedbanana17

    If your Q6700 is decently overclocked (3ghz+), you will be fine.

  17. tedbanana17 says:

    i have a question linus or maybe everyone here.. i have a pretty old build i have a XFX nforce 780-i my cpu is Intel core 2 quad q6700 and my ram is OCZ SLI ready ddr2 memory my question is if i buy this amd 6850 would i be wasting my money by not taking advantage of the technology that the amd 6850 have because of bottlenecking? or it would be fine to run this card on my build? otherwise i have to build a new gaming rig.

  19. freego56 says:
