    Far Cry 3, controller or keyboard?

    Oddly, I am comfortable using my 360 controller for this, Bioshock and Crysis. Maybe because after keyboard jockeying all day at work its easier.

    [H] users 7950 Overclock Results

    Mine is running in that range .. 1145/1365 on Sapphire 7950 OC Vapor-X. Tried a bit higher and it crapped on the first load of Heaven. BUT, its running solid and I'm loving the card thus far.

    Radeon 5970 > 7970

    My Core i7-920 Bloomfield/Raden 59070 was strong, but I like max detail in my gaming and the stuttering was annoying me with some games. So far I've grinded Crysis 2 (w/DX11 and hi-res texture patches), BF3 and Guild Wars 2 on it and the setup is SPARKLING .. a huge improvement on the regular...

    Radeon 5970 > 7970

    Well .. got it all built (sans the SSD for now). I pressed the little OC button on my Sapphire and it kicked over to 950MHz on the GPU and 1250MHz on the memory for now. Guild Wars 2 runs great .. and currently downloading Crysis 3 to really grind it. Has anyone played with this card and...

    Quick question on card for gaming

    After combing through the forum for about 45mins, I have come to the conclusion that I will go with either the Asus Xonar DSX or if I can spring it, the new Creative Z (basic). The rig is mainly for gaming, and am finally deciding to get a real soundcard rather than onboard. I am in the...

    Radeon 5970 > 7970

    I hate ordering from multiple places .. UGH. Got everything yesterday and today, sans the video card (which comes Thursday). Now to shop for my SSD and sound card. Thanks for advice everyone.

    Radeon 5970 > 7970

    I could step up to a 7970, but I would make a worthwhile one, and I don't wanna drop that kind of cash right now on just a vid card. I'd rather get a SSD, and a real sound card (finally). All these upgrades will definetly smooth everything out.

    Radeon 5970 > 7970

    Better yet, found a Sapphire 7950 Boost OC Vapor-X for $320ish(I hate newegg, damn tax!)

    Radeon 5970 > 7970

    Yeah, I think I'll gun for that. I was peeping the 7970 variant, or any of those .. but an upgrade is an upgrade and I'll take the extra memory and toss in a SSD instead. So I'll go with the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161429

    Radeon 5970 > 7970

    Well .. being I haven't changed anything in this rig since the tail end of 2009 and into 2010 .. I want to upgrade it. I might just do everything but the card and see how it stands. If I then feel the need, 7970 it is. income tax ftw.

    Radeon 5970 > 7970

    Well, my mistake aside .. it still performs solidly. The only 2 things that have taxed it so far at my normal running res has been Crysis 2 and FC3

    Radeon 5970 > 7970

    Yeah, that's been the one issue I have with some games. Certain ones will only see the 1gig per GPU rather than all of it combined. Usually only a problem if trying to go a higher texture setting. One thing I did learn about this card .. Diamond MM .. is terrible for support.

    Radeon 5970 > 7970

    I haven't really played anything at that res .. 1920x1080 works for me. The one thing I might do is ride this card out, but track down and replace the fan (it works fine, just planning ahead). I tried tracking down a Arctic Cooling Accelero for it, but can't find any .. or any that are...
