I have a similar system as you. I got crossfire 7970's 1st gen. But they are the wind-force 3 OC to 1 ghz. I am happy with the system and the temps. In the first year or so I had problems with crossfire as well. One card was always in hibernation mode at all times. Had to disable ULPS for every...
I dont know what it is but every game that has mantle makes me put it on a games to buy list. Maybe Its clever marketing with a mixture of Specific Hardware.
Kindof like DX 10/11 was. But it still needs to be done proper. Same story i guess.

The Nvidia sli connector bridges seemed more rigid and...
The Half-x case is not wide enough for tri-fire....
WHenever i close the case it applies pressure to the power cables.
I just closed the case for fun and now my video card is acting as if its asleep.
The problem is... I am in the middle of cloning my hard-drive to move data to a different...
I just put together a Nvidia Rig for my sister. It was sli.
The problem is now, I am very jealous of her Nvidia rig. I have tri-fire 7970's and I am jealous of her sli 460's.
The reason is: my crossfire connectors are a piece of crap. I have many of them and I can barely get tri-fire connected...

here is a setting to select the screen aspect ratio. The default setting is "Normal", an auto mode that always follows the current resolution's AR.
Selecting a specific ratio will stretch the screen to match the selection. Ratios available: 4:3, 5:4...
Thanks for the information. I'll have to look it up.

So in summary
so he got up to 4.5 ghz but not stable..
he has a pretty decent ram speed.
Using an air cooler but not water cooler.
In comparison to my older gen:
I was able to pull my FX4100 to 4.2 ghz with watercooling and ram at the speed of 2133mhz or as CPU Z says frequency of 1070...

NFS 3 HotPursuit good for PC
NFS Porshe Unleashed good for PC
NFS Hot Pursuit 2 good for PC
NFS Underground 2 good for PC
The NFS series has been a great dissapointment for PC ever since NFS Most Wanted was okay... Carbon was okay but just not the greatest. Poor prefromance in both games...
Okay i uninstalled MagicTune...
For some reason it kept saying it wasnt compatible with the monitor so i uninstalled it, restarted... then it all went back to normal..
i found a review on here with some settings that were worth trying.
I just wont be using magic tune anymore.
I was fooling around too much with the Samsung PX2370...
I really wish i could return all Settings to "out of box"
when you press reset it does not go back to original settings that was calibrated by factory... it goes to some sort of in the middle settings...
It was perfect monitor...
