    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Doesn't Support SLI? Reference PCB Difficult to Mod

    Oh dear god, I'm not a fan of SLI/CROSSFIRE but even so, they should offer this to people who are, and also what is up with that power connector, mounting any aftermarket cooling system now will prove troublesome... Such a shame. :(

    AMD Radeon RX 480 8 GB

    I'm just saying that the RX 480 dissapointed and that the 970 is a better buy if found cheaper. I'm not the one filling every reply with irrelevant bullshit benches

    AMD Radeon RX 480 8 GB

    I would appreciate if you would point out where did you find an review for an 1.6Ghz clocked 970. (Read: REVIEW not some random slide pulled out of my backside with syntethic crap) Also, I'm a peasant and game at 1440p/1080p where the difference is within margin error @ stock ( Read: 1051 MHz...

    AMD Radeon RX 480 8 GB

    I'm going to contradict you here, the 970 and 290X are performing pretty much the same at stock. I have managed to clock my 970 to over 1.5GHz and its still cooler and consumes less power than the 290X. If it performs better in games that I am interested in, I will buy it, I don't really care so...

    AMD Radeon RX 480 8 GB

    Solid card, however I see MSI's edition of 970 going for lower than the RX 480 in my country, and generally these cards can clock so high that they can compete with the 980 while being cool and having great power consumption. Sadly, currently there is no competition, hope that these prices will...

    Choosing the right GPU

    Thank you all for the replies ! I end up going for the Sapphire Tri-X Vapor-X since I always owned Sapphire cards and was never dissapointed and due to Mantle. I inclined to get the 770 but I don't trust Gigabyte since I've had many friends that had problems with cards from them including coil...

    Choosing the right GPU

    Hello friends, currently I have an HD6950 1GB version that I want to replace since the memory is limiting the performance at 1080p and now that I added a second monitor it became even more obvious. My Budget is limited and I can only buy from local webstores. Below are my options and the price...

    Rockstar Games "Considers" GTA V Wii U and PC Versions

    ^ This. I seriously hope that they won't release another crappy console port. Release a proper PC game or don't release anything at all.

    Upgrade suggestions - Phenom II Platform

    My next question is as follows, should I go for the FX 8320 , clock it to 4-4.4 Ghz and save 100 euros for a potential GPU upgrade? Or go with the 3570 and keep my current GPU ( 6950 )

    Upgrade suggestions - Phenom II Platform

    Well it's not like it's urgent but I have the so called upgrade "itch" that won't go away unless I buy some new hardware :laugh:

    Upgrade suggestions - Phenom II Platform

    Thank you all for your suggestions! Well I'm getting a little worried that my current CPU fails to clock past 3.2 Ghz without causing instability, I am afraid that it will die soon that's why I am leaning more towards a CPU upgrade. I think an 3570k will help out with the little video...

    Upgrade suggestions - Phenom II Platform

    Thank you for your suggestion and compliment! If not too much can you guys also recommend me a good mobo that can help me push the 3570K into the 4-4.5+Ghz range if I decide to go with the CPU upgrade ?
