How is that Dark board compared to the rest of the EVGA x79 boards? I've heard that the other EVGA boards are complete crap (They had sales on them for $79, $99, and $119 in February on newegg)
Yes their boards have been, but this board and BIOS are designed by the old Sapphire MOBO team.
K|NGP|N uses it and as you can see, he gets the results. Then again that is just in synthetic benching and not everyday use/gaming.

MSI, Asrock, ASUS, or Gigabyte.
Same here, I just purchase boards from those manufactures.(Mainly MSI, lol) On the other hand, I have a trust in EVGA since the 8800GTX days. They have always delivered an awesome product to me but those where GPUs and not MOBOs.
Like I said in my statement above, the old Sapphire MOBO team is working for EVGA on MOBOs now. Let us see if it produces any good results. I know the work they did on just the graphical interface of EVGA's BIOS is amazing. Just watching the demonstration video EVGA looks to have a really good BIOS layout sort of like MSI.

Do you know of any videos that offer a decent comparison of actual gameplay with and without physx? As far as I can tell, it only seems to add more debris to the environment. Just something nVidia paid a few developers to code in. It comes across as a gimmick rivaling AMD's 5GHz 9590.
I can see where you're coming from. Initially thought the "TressFX" was cheesy and gimmicky until actually playing Tomb Raider and seeing what it does.
PhysX just makes the world and environments feel "more alive" to me. Really helps out the experience if done right. What I do hate is that it is so god damn proprietary that you need CUDA cores or an Intel chip to run. (You can download a program from nVidia that allows your CPU to do some PhysX)
You do know you can use a GTX560 and higher to run as a PhysX card along side of your AMD card? I have personally never done it but a program does exist allowing you to do so.

Then you have to deal with 3rd party drivers. That's not something I felt like dealing with.

Potentially easy, potentially a complete fricking disaster.

Do you still have that 8GB of ram for sale?
Yes.
And I'm about to have a 7970 Twin Frozr for sale.
Because I just found out my wife is pregnant again.

Congrats, you selling off pieces now because of it?
Posted on 8/18/13 at 1:08 pm to ILikeLSUToo
I will probably get that ram off of you. I will talk to you about it tonight.
How much for the 7970? Lew should buy it and crossfire with his.
ETA: Congrats

Yeah, I'm gonna have to look into selling some stuff and try to make some money on the side. This was not a planned pregnancy.
