Don't worry about your temps, 51 at full load with prime 95 is very good. When your cpu will run games it won't reach that high. Only when you are going to overclock you should change your cooler, but your cpu can keep up with games more than a year from now.

Your pc is great. I wish I could afford a new gpu. Play 24/7 with no worries, happy gaming!

Thats cool, it was the card I was suggesting! (If you didn't want to wait or didn't want uber uber performance).



Tease.

lol, bullshit Squilliam. Check this. This christmas I buy a second card. My mobo supports 16x in both PCI express slots, and the card I bought has some of the best crossfire scaling in the biz.

I got super performance, future uber crossfire, and great price, PLUS I didn't have to wait and buy a much more expensive/hotter/more power usage card that won't be as good as my crossfire anyway.

Bookya!!! :D



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Woot woot. Starting Dragon Age Origins as soon as my GPU comes in, then I will finish downloading Grid as my "showoff" game and finally, start playing WoW, woohooo. Thanks!! :O

Stay tuned for pictures though. I will post them soon.

Thats sick..

 

Just bought a 5870 - and while it is a better card, I don't think it is $150 better >.>  Oh well, I only have one 16x slot in my mobo, if I run 2 cards it will be scaled down to 8x...  Though I will recommend this card for my stepdad



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

Yeah man, for 480 bucks you can crossfire 2 of those and DESTROY MANKIND!

My GPU is a neural net processor. A learning computa.

lol

The top two PCIe slots on my mobo run at 16x, no shared bandwidth. I told yall I had a plan!!! :D Getting my second card for Christmas(Pssst: On the free!)

Awesome scaling there...



Tease.

Yeah thats some great performance!These cards put out more fps than the 5970!
I think you've made a great choice building a crossfire PC!

lol, woot!! Thanks!! :)

I made a newegg review(might be a bit early, lol, got the card TODAY! :D)

I will buy the second soon, read my newegg review when they post it. I tried to tell everything I wanted to know, but had to go elsewhere to find. The card had 2 reviews when I ordered it, now it has 11, all perfect scores. :D
