Yeah, after waiting so long I pulled the trigger on an $80 Xeon X5660 for my comp (replacing a i7-920.) At this rate, I'll prolly change platforms in 2018 - 2020 sometime... bleh!!!
Would love to see 280x CFX (as I'm rolling with a pair of 1st gen 7970's) if you can eek them in there in part 2.
Love the game, but yeah, it seems I have to really lower the settings to get it close to playable on Eyefinity. :(
Bitcoin miner here.
Look... I'm making roughly $1600 a month now and have been profitable ever since I found out about Bitcoin in 2011. I invested in BFL, should have invested in Avalon, yadda yadda... I learned the hard way about how this market works. But I still LEARNED.
I'm tired of...
Great Review, thanks for this. I'm running eyefinity 3240x1920 and getting another 7970 is a no brainer for me.
Also, have you tried Radeon Profile Tool to help with the microstutter on these cards? Might be something worth checking out.
Had this exact board. 2500+ Athlon XP-M, DDR400, and a 5900 (flashed to 5950.)
Was a SWEET setup, unfortunately... as time marches on... it eventually couldn't keep up. And this was my last AMD build since I started building computers (about circa 386 era.)
Those who got out in time got the best of it... :)
those who didn't... well... :-/
Made some money while it was running, ended up being down about 16 coins. *shrugs*
I figured meh.. but thinking about it... that's going to hurt when each coin is worth $1000+.
Can't complain.
Bitcoins have paid for most of Rockstar and Gir systems in my sig.
As well as...
5x 890FXA-GD70s
5x AMD 145 CPUs (3 unlocked into dual core chips)
5x 2GB Ram
10x ATI Radeon 5830s
8x ATI Radeon 5850s
So yes, of someone decided to play hard and fast with 40k worth...
