It's only $30 cheaper right now because of a $20 MIR and when the E9 was first launched it was a $159 board. They actually had it back down to $159 last week.

Can you download the 3dmark 11 demo off steam and run it? I want to see how that 6350 does compared to my 955

ETA: I have no idea what any of it means so someone tell me how good or bad it is.

I need to do some tweaking. I am disappointed in my scores

LINK

Hate to do too much adjusting just to have to do it all again when I switch the Ex3 back out for the 9.

Of course those are the old beta drivers. I need to go download the actual full release of those drivers that just came out

ETA: Just noticed my ram is down clocked again. I am not sure why it is doing that unless FM is reading it wrong. I have it OCd to 1866 in the bios.

You need to OC that 7970! Could probably hit 1200/1600 prety easily.

What drivers are you using?

You guys really need to purchase Dishonored while on sale.

I totally passed on this game until the Steam summer sale. Glad I picked it up, really good with great freedom on choices.

With the growth rate of the local Master Race, this TD LAN Party we all talk about might happen.

Sounds ghey as fckk, but think it would be interesting to see everyones build.. get together and play a few games with prizes.

EDIT:
We can all talk about our pretend GFs and wives back home.

quick question in general, does that microsoft client still work? i think it was called windows live. it was similar to steam and origin.

Damn...these drivers lowered my graphics score. My score is up overall though with my CPU at 4.0 vs 4.2

Where do you guys find those custom made drivers?

There have been some reports of slightly lower performance for these drivers but apparently that was expected because they are 'frame pacing' . I'm not sure how much that effects single gpu setups but I know you can turn it off.

Games for windows live and unfortunately it still works. That hit was worse than uplay and origin combined. Install gta4 on steam and you get steam, securom, rock star social club, and gfwl. I'm really glad that as of late people seem to be avoiding all those ridiculous forms of drm and just going with steam, uplay, or origin.

I am all about it but I would have to drive my pc 6 hours and that drive already sucks. It's not practical for me. I want to see some of these setups and really want to see a 1440p monitor.
