Saw this amazing deal on Reddit: Every single GTA game to date for $12.49. Down to $10 if you use the code GMG20-4B9NY-L4FEN

I've never played I, II, III, or San Andreas, I loved Vice City back in the day, and I don't have GTA IV on PC. Thinking I should jump on this. I actually have no idea why I'm waffling over it right now.

Pulled the trigger. Can't wait to do the Iron Man mod on IV.

You should drop that Memory OC to 1400 and shoot for 1225 on the core.


I've tried.

Just finished the 12.4 install...benching now.

ETA: Are you using a 7950 boost? That what mine is and I'm just getting really low scores with these drivers. Lower than stock settings with all the other drivers (13.x) I've used.

A good deal on an HEC 850 Modular PSU. Silver rated and believe it or not this thing is not a fire waiting to happen.

Might buy it for my nephews build I am saving parts up for.

You missed the boat on gta 3. It's out of date now but when it came out, damn it was

So, what are some must-have GTA mods? I already know about ICEnhancer and the Iron Man mod.

Bruce

My P10292 scored the highest for all 8320/7950.. Holding down spots 1, 2 and 4 for that combo!

Interesting to see the top 8350/7950 combo @ P10719. Would like to know how he achieved that high physics score. Probably his MOBO HT and NB OCs. My biggest problem is not being able to put any OC on my HT, that is really holding my physics score back.

yeah I tried 2760 on HT and it wouldn't boot but 2640 is fine. Maybe try and add more voltage?

Like I said, I'm having problems with these drivers and and re-installing them in hopes of having some sort of conflict. I used Atiman the first go around but now I just did my normal routine of CCC uninstaller/driver fusion so maybe it will work.

MSI TFIII "Boost Edition"


I have the same cards, except 7970s, with water blocks. They are amazing overclockers. It's why I won't buy anything but MSI. I don't care about cooler quality. That fricker comes off and sits in a drawer until selling time.

If anyone is interested in water cooling, I have for sale (cheap) an XSPC Rasa CPU block and a XFX Razor full cover block for a 7970.

If I sold both for $60, plus this:

RS360 Radiator: $48.99 LINK
XSPC X2O 750 Dual 5.25” Bay Reservoir Pump (not the best but perfect for this purpose): $59.99 LINK

Three of these excellent fans: $60 LINK

8 of these compression fittings: $40 LINK

about 10-15 feet of this durelene tubing: ~$8

Distilled water from your local grocery store/CVS/walmart: $1

Pt Nuke biocide: $3.99 LINK

Total: ~$220 for an excellent performing loop that can be upgraded infinitely.

(you can save $40 if you want barbs and worm clamps instead of compression fittings, but the compression fittings just look so much better.)

Of course, you have to have a 7970 or else you'll have to buy a different block for more money.

Same, almost all my boards and carda are MSI. I do still prefer EVGA for nVidia cards though.

barely even a 9k score with these drivers. 1160/1600 too.

Can you post a link to where you downloaded them from just so I know that they're the same?

Were you using 13.8 beta before that? Or something else? I'm curious how that driver affects the score.

I was using 13.8 on the ones from last night but that was 12.4 I believe.

These are 13.4...sooooo much better from a stability standpoint for me.

7 fricking points away...
