Is Far Cry 3 CO-OP fun? Anyone want to join for some CO-OP sometime?

It's not that hard... Go to MSI afterburner and bump the core clock up by little increments until it's not stable, then do the same for mem clock. Then once you find a stable sweet spot, bump the voltage up a little bit and then do the process over until you find it stable again.

AMD cards benefit from higher bumps in core clock over mem clock, I don't know how Nvidia cards are

Is it the same concept as overclocking a CPU?

What do you use to test for stability?

Do I up the memory for performance or stability reasons?

Yep.. they are making affordable PC gaming at a high lvl.

and its only going to get better as this year moves on.

price drops on AM3+ and 1155 cpus and boards, vid cards should continue to drop a bit as the Titan and high end AMD cards receive minor upgrades and push the price of all the other cards down. even SSDs are cheap now (relatively speaking)
only thing thats expensive right now is DD3 ram.

I don't feel like looking it up but what's the highest card an AMD A10-5800K APU can crossfire with?

I want to build a streaming machine and am looking into some things. TIA

I'm no expert but why get an APU if you are xfiring gpus?

guess you want to get the most powerful apu setup possible..i see.

Cheaper than a separate CPU and crossfire GPUs plus less room. I want to fit it all in a Mini-ITX case.

I found it. It will only crossfire with a 6670

in the single player campaign i must have it on easy, because I'm George Washington and completely own North America, South America, and Australia.

I've got battleships lining the East and West Coast with reserves in the Gulf of Mexico. My only enemy is Russia and their best military unit is musketmen.

Sigh... I was considering experimenting with crossfired 7970s, but apparently the bitcoin climb-n-burst has people in a frenzy. So high end AMD graphics cards are now sold out at the online retailers (except for shitty ones with voltage locks and proprietary PCBs) and price-gouging is in full effect on eBay.
