what graphics cards are u guys using

@erocker

I bet it will. If my Intel 4200u's 4400 GPU can handle Elite Dangerous @ 1600x900 on Low settings, that APU can handle the game easy and maybe at medium settings. I was actually surprised by the results and how good the game looked on low! I did this to answer a question on the Elite forums. Keep us posted on your results and please post them in the TPU space sim thread and/or Elite thread!

:toast:

I am using the Intel 4600 GPU on my home-grade file-server I am creating. It is integrated into an i7-4770k that will be undervolted. :rockout:

@Kursah, Lol, it doesn't run SC or Elite. New parts get here on Wed.

...actually, I'm going to try Elite, I managed to cram my 7970 in my mini ITX chassis

Actually, I just got a notice saying the item I ordered was sold out. I'm going to hold off on the GPU until I get the other parts up and running... and I'm a bit too lazy to dismantle my water cooling right now, so my GPU block for the 7970 is just hangin' there for now.

I also can't believe the performance hit I'm taking from using this 5800K with the 7970, it's terribad.

Probably a good thing. You should get the MSI Gaming one once you do (The EVGAs new ACX 2.0 has been getting very good reviews. Noise issues, etc.). When you combine a Gaming Series board with a Gaming series GPU there are benefits. Kind of like how if you have an ROG board, you SHOULD pair it with a matrix ROG GPU. Im not 100% sure on how it effects them when paired, but Dave mentioned it to me when z87/z97 came out.

What clocks have you reached and what cooling are you using 荷兰大母猪

I hit 1300mhz with 1.2v, and my cooling is just acx.

I think I'm going to hold off for a beefier card whenever those will come out.

290x, 2x 7970's, 2x 7850's, 2x 7770's, 2x 6850's. And a few more laying around.

RealNeil · Nov 9, 2014

System #1: Two Crossfire R9-280X OC 3GB (ASUS & HIS)

System #2: Two SLI GTX-570s (ASUS & PNY)

System #3: One Sapphire R9-280X Toxic

I have three Diamond Radeon HD6970s ready for Crossfire installation into system #2

I have a 4GB EVGA GTX-760 ACX on the shelf for now.

7970 Reference Card that is OCed to Ghz clocks on stock voltage.

INSTG8R · Nov 9, 2014

Same Sapphire 7970 OC as Frag Maniac. Perfectly happy with it for now it plays all the games I want at the qualities I want. Curious as to what AMD is going to bring to the table. For the first time in my PC owning life since my NV Ti 4200 128M I am actually swayed back towards Green with the release of the 970. Good thing I have no money for such things

Easy Rhino · Nov 9, 2014

still rocking that gtx 570 because nobody is making graphically intensive video games that ALSO include a good story.

LOL, I started gaming with the Ti 4200. My very first card, and great bang for buck. You stalking me bro? :laugh:

Spot on bro. Plus, we can always turn a setting or two down and its not like you are rocking a 520.

Honestly, the used EVGA GTX 570 I purchased for $70 shipped back in summer for the gf/kids' rig has been better than expected with performance. Every single game we've tried, mine and the kids' all play flawlessly at 1920x1080 cranked up to the hilt.

An amazing card, just a little power hungry is all. :toast:

eidairaman1 · Nov 9, 2014

If you can make the axp run at 200x12.5 with nominal timings for 3200 ddr do it, should be good enough to drive a x1950gt at that rate. Let me know how it goes and wether if you can force the nf2 agp gart into w7. Dfi nf2 ultra-b/infinity and Abit NF7-S were it, Unless if you could get a GA-7NNXP (rev. 1.0)
Or a KT880 motherboard

R9 290 (decided to keep her and not go 970/980)
R7 240 for my retro workstation until i can find 2*9800GT or a 2nd 8800 Ultra
and 8800 Ultra (yup i know ... oldie ... but still goodie, it's a Asus R.O.G model i keep for my E8400 build)
and a spare Powercolor Go!Green HD5450 just in case

edit: i forgot that i have a XperVision Radeon X1950GT super AGP for my Athlon XP retrobuild

argh

Yeah I've been looking at that card as well but it's a lot harder to find.

bubbleawsome · Nov 9, 2014

Usually running a 7970 but recent circumstances have me on a 4600 iGPU. Drivers are meh at best and don't clock up in some games. Horrid fps when I could be getting more than 60. :/

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a GTX570. Still serves us well, though not much gaming is going around lately in the house.
