What's the consensus?

any of the mentioned options, as long as they are under $250 and include a full warranty are fine. I think I would go with a 760 or AMD 7xxx card though, just for driver support if nothing else. that 670 is as fast as its ever going to be, the 760 has a lot of potential left in it from driver updates.

Its the same chip as 7950. It's stock performance is in between 7870 and 7950 and it OC's like a champ.

Does anyone know why I might not be getting shipping updates for my large order from newegg? I got the free 2 day shipping from the free trial of shop runner, but the last update on the tracking is from July 15th when it was picked up from City of Industry, CA. I would think that it would be delivered today but that's the only tracking update that I've gotten.

Check on the shippers website with the tracking number instead of just clicking the link from Newegg.

It might not be updating between the shipper and Neweggs site but it should be updated on the shipping site.

I found with shipments from California I won't get updates often until it is in my local area ready to go out.

Yeah I tried that just before I posted to make sure and the FedEx website says the same thing.

ETA: The FedEx tracking says estimated delivery is today at 4:30, so what should I do if I don't get it today or tomorrow?

does it say out for delivery? if not one of two things happened:
a) the local facility is having an internal problem updating status to the server
b) your package hasnt made it to the local facility

No, it doesn't say out for delivery. The only thing it has is when it was picked up from CA on monday and the estimated delivery date of today. Hoping it's just an issue with their updates because it's the only delivery doing this.

potentially it just never scanned. none of that is manually inputted with fedex. id give it today and if it does not deliver you should call them first thing tomorrow morning

HOLY shite!

I just hit the LSUCoyote lottery. Give me 10-20 and I will upload pics.

He sent me way TOO much stuff.

I have to pay him for some of it or send it back. No way!

I feel bad he sent all of this. That guy is too generous.
