...which is exactly what i did. But only because i got a sweet deal on a 2nd hand 670. Finished Last Light yesterday, great game. It played very well, with all settings maxed out except for ssaa which was turned off. 50-60 fps in general with dips to 30-40 but only in extreme situations...

Someone else mentioned this app on the AMD forum too. Seems weird since i've never heard or read about this before so i'm a bit sceptic. Anyone have any experience with this app? If it really does exactly the same as Adaptive Vsync, then a 7950 is a better buy at the moment imo.

Thanks for the replies. I should add that this upgrade's only purpose is for me to game for 3-5 months and only for the games mentioned before. Once i'm back from travelling a year, the first thing i always do is upgrade my entire pc and a new and fast graphic card will be part of that. So...

Hi people, I sold my 6950 yesterday to order a Nvidia card, mainly because i want to use Adaptive Vsync. The second reason is that in a few months i'm going travelling for about a year and want to play as many games on my list before i leave : StarCraft II, The Witcher 2, Metro Last Light...

Thanks for the replies. I've never heard or read about RadeonPro though. Does anyone else have any experience with this or a similar App for the Radeon Series? Thanks Ps : The title should've said HD 7950 vs GTX 670 :)

Dear fellow gamers, I'm on the verge of selling my 6950 and buying either the 7950 or the 670. The 7950 is a better budget choice here in Belgium (roughly 260€ vs 325€). But i've read about Nvidia's Adaptive Vsync (AVS) and it sounds very sweet to me. Since i really don't like tearing i...

Indeed the difference between the 640 and 955 is 52$ (115 vs 167) and even though there are reports of the 955 working on this board, there are also some reports of it not working so i´d prefer the safer route with the 640. I plan to play several games going back from Mass Effect 1 (May 2008) to...

I was contemplating that last bit. In other words, if all of the listed CPUs would maximize my GTX-260´s potential, which would be the best buy because that´s all the CPU power i need for now until my next upgrade. Costwise the x4 640 looks the most attractive as the x4 840 is basically the same...

Thanks on that last tip. I looked further into that and it seems this board unofficialy supports several "newer" cpus that should work like the Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition (167$). So which one is best for gaming? X4 955 or X4 840? They are both clocked the same only the 840 (146$) has no L3...

Sorry forgot to mention i live in Belgium and these are the lowest new prices i could find here. Those listed CPU´s are the highest my mainboard will take so the X4 840 is no option i´m afraid. Thanks for any further advice you might have..

Hi people, just a quickie. I own the below rig and was wondering which of the listed CPUs would be the best choice for gaming? Rig : Nvidia Geforce GTX-260 768 Mb AMD Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition (OC´ed to 3,0 Ghz) 4 GB DDR2-800 Asus M2A-VM HDMI Mainboard CPUs : Athlon II X3 445...

Thanks for the replies. Sorry, don´t know the exact model and i´m travelling at the moment so can´t find out. No plans on a multi-gpu in the future but i´ll probably go for a 750W anyway since they are not much more expensive and i want this PSU to last another upgrade in the future.. Cheers!

Thanks. http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine calculates a minimum of 373 and a maximum of 423. I could always try with my old PSU first? How does one notice his PSU is not suffucient? (even if it would boot the system?)

Hi, how are you people? I´m planning to upgrade my current rig and the final build will be : ATI Radeon 6950 Intel Core i5-2500K (OCed of course :p but only on air) ASUS P8Z68V-LX Mainboard 2 x 4 GB DDR3-1600 Corsair Vengeance 1 x DVD drive 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 SATA Creative Labs Audigy...

Never mind, i found another thread in which some users were successful in their overclocks with this board, exactly what i needed to know : http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1651764&highlight=P8Z68-V Cheers!
