The statistical information I get from MSI afterburner is detrimental for me to choose my in game settings. I need to know what % usage my components are at. I guess for now I will do it the old fashion way and record my stats for a few minutes then minimize and adjust. Anyone willing to test...

Damn click bait.

Ah the headline post is slightly misleading then.

I love this. I'm curious though, where did you see/hear that we would travel 4.25 light years within a time frame of 60 years?

Way. The value train is coming.

This is awesome. I've started saving my pennies already. Testing the overclocking capabilities of a new generation is a lot of fun and the community gets really involved. Can't wait.

Even when going over stock most GPU BIOS's are limited to a voltage that would not cause damage. I've never seen a GPU die in my 15 years of system building. I've seen green and white lines running across the screen, nothing an oven @ 375'F can't fix.

You won the silicon lottery. I use a combo of multiplier and bus speed. Vcore @ 1.56. Yes, I know I'm over AMD's "limit" :D

Why not? It's a way better performer and it sets his computer up for a mobo/cpu/RAM upgrade. You've got that right. My 8350 could only get 4.8 stable. My 8320 has sat at a nice 4.95 for the past few months. The jump in voltage for me to achieve 5.1 is a little too much.

Subjective question as it depends on the game. I've seen a 6700k overclocked to 4.6Ghz bottleneck the Titan Pascal in Starcraft 2 and H1Z1. These are single threaded games and as such will more than likely be limited by CPU. Other games like "OverWatch" which is almost entirely GPU, will...

Gravity bent your case. Buy a new one ASAP

Argh. I'm trying to SLI a GTX 460 and 460 v2, Apparently NVidia decided to use completely different architectures for the same model. I've tried DifferentSLI and it did not work. I'm wondering if there is a way to "turn" this v2 card into original by flashing the BIOS or spoofing it's hardware...

I'm honestly not an Nvidia fan boy. I own three FX CPU's right now and still run one as my main setup. I tried their GPU's again, did not have a good experience and switched. Maybe I'll go back again one day.

Funny, because I just had an R9 380 for the past 3 months and saw "hotfixes" every month , but no official driver update. Also, I said core clock throttling, not thermal. And it definitely does, check MSI afterburner during benchmarks :D Ah, I see you know nothing about me, now your post makes...

VR-ready for performance for 200$! (Also includes arbitrary core clock throttle 2.0, and driver updates every 2 months- non certified of course)
