    Would it be ridiculous to pair a 7970 with Q6600?

    On a GTX 470, going from a E8500 to a 2500k made all the difference. The E8500 was the major bottleneck while playing, as you can see in some before/after benchmarks I did. Yes there is a difference in RAM (DDR2 to DDR3) but the benchmarks indicate the CPU was purely the problem. Generally, when...

    Eyefinity, updated AMD drivers & PLP

    In addition to this ^^ I run games in windows mode and "expand" them across all three monitors. BF3 and Dirt3 work well this way, despite having to see the bar at the top.

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Well worth it, imo. Without touching voltage, I overclocked mine from stock (925/1375) to 1110/1510 with no stability issues. Gets similar benchmark scores to my friends 2x6970 Xfire setup.

    Post your "rate my cables" here

    I have an old case that is way too big. I can't tuck much because otherwise it wouldn't reach! I've looked at a few pages and there are some really clean cases.
