Also works with my MSI x58A-GD65, no problems.

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.

Official guideline Q&A 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming only, BF4, Diablo 3 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $200 tops, pref ~$150 before tax. Got Prime for Amazon purchases. 3) Which country do you live in? If the...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

for anyone interested, Amazon has an HIS version in stock to ship this upcoming week ("1-2 days to process")

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.

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.

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

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

yeah, that's what I figured. Worth a try asking around first. Thanks

Hey all, I put my new Sapphire 7970 in my system (x58) and 27" Cinema Display and powered on... and got no picture. I've tried both mini-DP ports and the HDMI to my TV, to no avail (I don't have a DVI display at my disposal). I don't even get a boot screen while the machine is booting...

nice. What do temps look like? what's your fan setting?

Thanks for the heads up. Was able to order one of the remaining stock at retail!

Sad about the Amazon markup and lack of models. Guess I'll be waiting for Amazon to level off and get stock (I've got a bunch of Amazon GCs to go towards my purchase). Also, anyone else notice half are 7950s?
