i got my two monitors to work by getting the motherboards graphics to work on my 2nd monitor while my 7770 does my primary monitor :D

Anybody want to recommend a mechanical keyboard in the $100 range? I don't want any backlights or macros or anything but I need a numpad. I also find cherry reds too loud.

Hey, quickly VC suggestion, since I guess this is the place to go for these since I got yelled at for making a post about it before idk??? Anyway, I found out that my graphics card (AMD Radeon 7570 HD) is *really* terrible on my otherwise okay gaming rig, when I found out I could run Stalker SHoC faster on my last laptop which had intel media accelerator or whatever it is for vidya. I was wondering, what do you guys think would be a good card to upgrade to? My budget is $300, and I'm thinking of the XFX Radeon HD 7950, but all I really want is a card that can run stalker/mods that add HDR/games with HDR at all because that makes my computer go at a stunning 1 FPS. That, and all I can really play right now are the PC ports of the two Sonic Adventure games on a steady 60 fps.

Teal Deer: Is Radeon HD 7950 an okay card for most modern vidya games?

7950 is an amazing option and should run most games at very high or maximum settings in 1080x1920

I'd be a bit worried if you were using a portrait resolution for gaming :V.

From what I've heard the 7870 is better for overclocking than the 7950 and performs somewhere around the same level but costs less, might want to look into benchmarks and stuff. Also, make sure your CPU is good enough for the GPU, don't want any bottlenecking

my xfx 7950 is running 5760x1080 skyrim ultra without blowing up so i'm marking that as a win

Skyrim is more dependant on the CPU than the GPU from what I've heard
