But Blue, do you think this is a solid 4 year purchase for the non-(need to be on the cutting edger)?

definitely. people still like 7870s and other top of the range single gpu cards later down the road. I just wish AMDs naming was simple.

Did you activate the original codes already or you still trying to get rid of those?

Monoprice? Are those the micro center ones?

They have LG panels?

Ah so LG panels sweet!

You will be very happy with the purchase. That stand looks a little shakey though, no?

At that price you could have purchase the same monitor with same size bezel and better sand which does portrait.

Look at the crossovers.. I own 4 Koreans and out of the 3 brands catleap, Yamasaki and crossover.. Much perfer crossover because of the stand.

I have had a stand that does portrait which I never used. I also like dealing with an american company instead of ebay in Korea. Hopefully this is a perfect pair to the new 7970 that is coming in the mail.

Block, I have been out of the upgrade game for a long while. What does this refer to?

Ah figured probably that. But I hadnt had plans to. Never ventured into custom cooling my GPU. What does it entail? How much overclocking can be done vs regular

It's not a reference pcb. Water cooling pretty unlikely.

I went with the Monoprice LG clone to get a warranty you could actually use, and which I was able to extend to 2 years by purchasing via my AMEX. Obviously this can vary, but I have 0 dead pixels.
