So I guess I just had to re-install the display drivers. DX11 stays now. Looks decent? Can't really tell. Reflections seem more obvious.

I've tried the shortcut trick, and the config.wtf trick--neither work. The config reverts back to the older one, and the in-game check says D3D9. I'm running a GTX 460 with the latest nvidia drivers. Why won't WoW hold the DX11 settings? I've seen a couple people with the same problem...?

Yes, I'm interested in this too. I'm running Windows 7 32-bit, and it says only 2.99GB of my 4GB DDR3 ram is usable. How can I use/enable that additional 1GB without upgrading to 64-bit? EDIT; RamDisk sounds interesting. Thanks for the pro-tip.

Yeah you know, I grabbed a GTX 460 for $200. I can run every game at 1080 (newer ones: AA off). I've spent a lot of time jumping from $200 cards to $400-500 cards. I honestly feel these days (especially considering the 460) you can drop $200 and get a solid card that'll last you 2 years and...

I was pretty surprised by the demo. The violence (in particular, during the cutscenes) is rough and uncompromising. It reminded me of those brutal rated-R action movies of yesteryear before all the 14A we see now. The cover system is a tad flaky but the gunplay is solid and the game is brutal...

Yeah, the P4 looks right, typo I guess. Great! Thanks a lot guys.

I recently bought an OCZ StealthStream with a LianLi case. The case places the PSU at the bottom, and given the short cables, I've found the P3 cable does not reach the plug on my MSI mobo. So, before I return this for another PSU, can I by PSU extension cables for the P3 plug? If so, where...

EDIT: Wrong forum. Sorry. Not sure how to delete posts =( </newb>

*double post*

Thank you for the info. Without a PSU upgrade, going from a 5770 to a 460 is only $20 difference (after MIR). So maybe I will do this.

I'm using the i3 530, one hard drive: 1TB WD. I do plan on an OC of the CPU. No other hardware upgrades/OCs.

Cool, thanks for the advice. I think I'll swing a 5770 instead. Including the upgrade PSU a 460 looks to be about $80 more--and I'm on a budget. Oh the rig in my sig? Hah, yeah that was from a long time ago. I switched to Mac about 3 years ago, now I'm switching back ;)

I just got a OCZ SilentStream 500w PSU. Will a non-OC'd MSI 460GTX run with it? If I go this route I imagine I can't OC, would it be better to bite on a Vapor-X 5770 and OC it with this PSU? Thanks for the advice.

Will a i3 bottleneck my ATi 5770? i3 530 Sapphire 5770 4GB DDR3-1600 G.SKILL MSI P55-GD55 Thanks in advance. Much appreciated.

I'm grabbing the MSI P55G55 MoBo with it's OC Genie. I'm interested in using this feature, but it notes you should use 1.65v RAM quote: So I've been looking at these Cosair sticks running at PC1600, 7-8-7-20 1.65v compared to this interesting pair of G.SKILLS, similar timings same speed...
