    Replacement Budget Mobo/ CPU Suggestions Needed

    Thanks, yeah, knew I wasn't going to quite get on par with what I had now in terms of CPU performance, but was hoping I could achieve similar-ish fps numbers (hoping that most things were still contingent on GPU). Leaning towards the FX-8320 and a second opinion mirrors my own thoughts.

    Replacement Budget Mobo/ CPU Suggestions Needed

    Hey All, I'm currently running a core i7-920 @ 3.33GHz system (see sig). Recently, the motherboard has started failing at POST, requiring a hard power-off/ power-on several times before it will eventually boot (and more or less work fine until I need to reset or turn on again). I've since...

    7970 Hardlock in WoW with DX11

    Glad I'm not the only one (thought I was going crazy). Assumed it was a driver issue, and I filed a bug report about it. I think the release driver (11.12) worked pretty well for me. I was also trying the 12.3, but can't recall if I had the issue (or tested thoroughly). Planning on switching...

    AMD Catalyst 12.6 beta 5/31/2012

    Sadly having random freezes with the 12.4 and 12.6beta in WoW. reverted to 12.3 to see if it solves anything. I think the last driver I had installed trouble-free were the 11.12 (release) ones. starting to wonder if I should give Green a try...

    7970 owners, are you upgrading to GTX 680?

    Pretty much this. I had no video card when I bought my 7970. I've been enjoying it for ~3 months at 1440p with no complaints. Of course I think you'd have to really think hard about *not* getting a 680 over a 7970 as of today. I must say I'm impressed with nvidia's rollout (and unimpressed...

    Mid-Tower Case Suggestion

    I've got a Lian-Li PC-9F that I'm pretty happy with so far. Got a good black friday deal on it (along with a deal on an ATX motherboard, which forced my hand from a mATX motherboard/ case). If I were going new right now, I'd look for a micro ATX motherboard and pair it with a Silverstone PS07...

    Grats. should have ordered one of the HIS last night, but hesitated. Hoping for some MSI or Gigabyte stock at a reasonable price at Amazon.

    I've got ~$250 in Amazon Gift Cards + Prime, and I'm in CA so I get taxed + shipping at the Egg.

    7970 Purchasing Thread

    Had to return my Sapphire to Amazon (DOA). Any reason not to get the HiS model that they currently have in stock/ ready to ship? As far as I can tell it'll be comprable, warranty-length-wise.

    Yeah, I was surprised at the heft of the card when I unpacked it. This thing is a beast.

    I think my 7970 is DOA :/

    Thinking about it, though I'm in CA so I'll have the Tax + shipping factor. Still, tempting ;) that's how I started. no video. had to put the other one in to see anything/ make sure driver got installed (in case it was a lack of driver issue with MiniDP/HDMI) Nope. ATI FireMV

    I think my 7970 is DOA :/

    Glad to hear I'm not alone. Here's hoping Amazon's "3-5 week" stock estimate is a very conservative one ;)
