| This is amazing. I can't believe how little heat and power consumption, yet the POWER!!
- note, I know most of you don't care, but this is amazing. This single graphics card is already more powerful than what will be the next gen of consoles... I'm sorry

Been over a year, if not more I'll be looking for maybe a 660, or 670. More in my price range. If I land this new job, I might do an overhaul to my rig once the Ivy Bridge intel processors hit. New Mobo, processor and cards! Currently, my 2 HD5830s in Xfire benchmakre WAY lower than the higher end 7000 series, or any of what will be the GTX600 series. It makes me sad... Then again, the 5830s weren't the top of the bracket when I purchased them over a year ago.

What? I have had more driver issues with AMD than Nvidia. the latest 12.0 CCC fucked over Skyrim and BF3 for me, I had to roll back to 11.7 | |

What? I have had more driver issues with AMD than Nvidia. the latest 12.0 CCC fucked over Skyrim and BF3 for me, I had to roll back to 11.7 There have been several reports of some of the older Nvidia cards suffering from constant kernel crashes. It's been happening to me a lot, and it's ridiculously annoying, especially when it happens in League of Legends, where lag can mean the difference between a pentakill or a quick death. | |
