Anyone else play this game? I look goofy the 1st round, but i warm up.

I am not sure if the swifttech r9 290x block cools vrms properly I thought I saw vrm temps very bhigh compared to other blocks in a review, but maybe I was mistaken and it was another block.I think in the future I will buy a 240 rad and 2 gpu blocks mebbe in a yr

well, i just ordered one :x Maybe i should've waited for more reviews from hardop, techpowerup/pcper etc

wow those vrm temps 0_0. I ordered 2 ASUS DC2T 280x's a few days ago, but they wont be here for another week or 2 probably.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7436/nvidias-gsync-attempting-to-revolutionize-gaming-via-smoothness 2d lightboost is great. gsync should make 3d gaming smoother as well by better regulating the frames.

^ yeah the readability test is night and day between even 144hz and 100hz with lightboost on. I am thinking of buying a used 3d vision 2 kit from amazon for $89 shipped. Can i get it cheaper anywhere else? I dont see anything cheaper new or used on ebay or forums sofar. I wanted it for Dirt...

^ did, it looks like i am out of luck unless i want to bust out the soldering Iron... Also, I discovered something that almost makes me want to return the card :/ it looks like ASUS used cheaper/ lower quality memory on some cards and I think I got one of them :(...

Yeah i already had it set to maximum performance. I will try fooling around with settings. i playedthrough the infantry single player mission w/ literally everything turned up and was avging 30fps.the benchmark on ultra preset also gave me 30fps avg :/

Is there a way to get voltage to 1.25 or 1.3v for this card in msi afterburner? Would editing bios work?

I ran arma 3 mark and recorded cpu and gpu utilization... gpu is only showing about 50% usage on average with my ASUS gtx 780 Direct CU II :/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W25dri_CXD4

i've been wondering this too, if you can flash 680 to 770 if they will sli. the 770 runs fasterram speeds and maybe different timings.

I think one of my older servers has a 350watt seasonic power supply. Its the only one I haven't had to replace a blown up or dead power supply in.

Nvidia asic scores weren't reading properly w/ older gpu-z. With the current gpu-z 0.6.5, my asic score is %76.5.

I'd love to win! i've never won an online contest before. :(

doesnt work for me with BF3 close quarters expansion

the lg probably wasn't calibrated. Out of box, the colors were a bit off for me and only took a few minutes to remedy. I'm getting far less ghosting and screen tearing with this monitor than my 2ms and 5ms TN monitors...

omg... look at how thin the bezel is 0_0. I just ordered a LG IPS236 23 inch IPS monitor. Maybe I should return that and get this in a few weeks 0_0

100% with my GTX 670 Windforce OC 2gb.

thats interesting. i was thinking about gettingback into iracing. that is a pretty big performance advantage that the 7970 has over the 680 0_0

you can snag a reference 7970 for $400 now. I'd try and get a nonreference dual or trifan design for $420 or so. the gtx 670 can do trip monitors as well.

my gigabyte GTX 670OC windforce is very quiet. the asus DCUII is supposed to be very quiet as well. I went with the 670 since its better than the 7950 p4p right now. the sapphire 7950s should be quiet. I am unsure of if they have coil whine or not, though.

i have a i7 920 and a gtx 670. i can do some runs @ 2.8 and 3.8 and see if i get a difference in a few games.

the wait is killing me >_<q I almost bought a 7950 yesterday out of frustration

does the gigabyte windforce 3 card not have voltage control? I have one in my cart now, and i am wonder if i should wait for the Asus Direct CU to come into stock.

I am leaning towards the 670 myself right now. If amd does another price drop, i may end up going with 7950/7970. I will try to wait another 5 dyas or so before purchasing anything :/

i ordered some Samson SR850 headphones off of ebay. hopefully they get here soon!

I currently have an i7 920 and a gts 250. my 560 ti twin frozr II will be here in a few days :)

congrats on having over a grand to spend on gfx cards

fudzilla says it comes out january 30th http://www.fudzilla.com/graphics/item/25519-radeon-hd-7950-comes-on-january-31st maybe i should just crossfire 7870's

has microstuttering been greatly reduced in the 78xx and 79xx series, i wonder? I have been wanting to run crossfire for a while but scared away by the chance of microstutter.

dropping $450 is on a 7950 is really going to hurt. I thought That I was crazy when I spent $260 on a 5850 a few weeks after launch. :( I hope this extra month isn't to give themselves time to laser cut the 7950's.

I like Corsair, because if you see their branding on a product, you know it is of high quality! Also, their tech support is top notch in my experience. !;) :D

I think the powercolor PCS ++ 6950's may come with pre-overclocked bioses. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Powercolor/HD_6950_PCS_Plus_Plus/ My normal powercolor 6950 1gb doesnt unlock, but it has dual bios and dual fans so i can OC it well past stock 6970 speeds.

can someone send me their bios they have off of bios slot 1. even if you havent tried unlocking it plz?

a few people have unlocked their 6950 1gb's :D hopefully mines will.

you should be able to snag a 4870 or gts 250 for $65 shipped. that would give you a nice boost in fps for cheap

you can get a 5850 extreme for $150 at amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-100282XTREME/dp/B004W75ATI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1306897535&sr=8-1 its sold out now, but its supposed to have voltage controls so you can make it get close to the performance...

ARMA III will use physx :). If you are going AMD for your main card, then keep the 8800gt, if not, then sell it. The hybrid physx worked fine for me in Mafia II. I plan on using my AMD 6950 and a gts 250 for physx, but the 250 isnt going in my case until Arma III comes out.

not in my case. mines was handled by althon micro: http://www.althon.com/

got my replacement card a while ago. It seems to be a superior cooler, but it is a rev.2 so no voltage controls :(
