I'm about 5 hours into bioshock infinite. If I don't do much exploring, and just get through the storyline, how much longer is the game? I want to get it knocked out prior to bf4 on tuesday...

And I may have another 7970 on the way soon

Infinite is not a game to be rushed through, exploring is a big part of the fun. Shelve it until you have time to play it properly, imo.

My gameplays were about 15 hours if I remember correctly.

Hopefully all levels of MSAA are improved because I had to turn it off completely.

Arkham Origins

I turned it off completely too and used FXAA High, everything else maxed out, and used RadeonPro to cap my frames at 61 fps, Vsync off.

Yea I need to try fxaa. I have radeonpro dynamic vsync on so my frames can fluctuate a little.

New drivers gave me nearly 50% improvement with 8x MSAA, but that's only 35-40fps, which is still too low. 4x MSAA allows the GPU to render 80+ consistently, so I can cap at 61 FPS with everything damn near maxed now.

I sit at 60 with some dips to about 45. Those open world games are always a challenge to keep the frame rate up.

Joking, probably holding until Maxwell.

EDT:
All depends what custom PCBs are available (If any) It is just a Titan with a little higher factory overclock. All rumors though.

Are you a Mega Man fan?

I was excited to learn MegaMan is coming to the 3DS in 2014.

I have only played about 3 hours yesterday, won't play again until tomorrow if then.

I used to play mega man x on snes. I didn't hear about that for 3ds, that's awesome. I'm telling you for a pc owner, the 3ds and wii u are good devices to have. They have some good alternatives.

I change it on use.

EDT:
Tried both Mayhem's Pastel Black and regular distilled water. Both looked fine, the white actually looks pretty cool if you don't think about mink.

I will most likely change it back to black though.
