Yep, redeem product code window is infinitely loading.

I'm only redeeming dead space 3 on origin. I used steam keys for the rest.

I had all of the games except for Deep Space 3 and MoH though I do have MoH on Xbox. I will give everything else to my nephew. I am waiting on him to move into a new house where he will have room for a PC and am giving him one I have been buying spare parts for. I have been buying him some games for when I do so he has something to play on it.

It will be a decent build for him I think

FX6100
Hyper 212
ASRock 970 Extreme3
EVGA 660 Superclocked
8GB PNY 1600MHz ram
Corsair 500 PSU
Xigmatec Case
Seagate 1TB HDD

I wish I could find him a decent deal on an SSD before I hook it all up.

i considered the galaxy 680 for its white pcb, but it never went on decent sale. ultimately glad I went with the 7970 at the time.

I used to have the 680 version of that card.

The white PCB is interesting, but I like black much better

I just got off the phone with my new contact at Zotac. He told me that he could get us some group pricing in line with what the big boys like Newegg pay.

Hmmmm....

I am going to call him back in a week or so to set up an account for distribution.

He also told me they are working on something to compete with gaming consoles AKA a Steam Box. It will be smaller than Mini ITX. I am guessing integrated graphics. He didn't say due to an NDA but Zotac already makes some pretty nice Mini ITX boards.

I have had 3 so far and they aren't bad. I know their AMP editions are pretty legit and have good reviews from what I have read.

I also prefer their cooling over some other Nvidia cards.

This AMP 770 actually has some nice specs to it

quote:

What's really of interest here is Zotac's factory overclock. Right out of the box, the GTX 770 AMP! Edition card is shipped with a 1,150MHz core (104MHz faster than reference) and a 2GB frame buffer clocked at an effective 7,200MHz (188Mhz faster than reference).




quote:

We've seen GPU Boost 2.0 work its magic on other cards, and it's having a similar impact here. Throughout our BioShock runs, Zotac's card ran at 1,280MHz on core and 7,200MHz on memory. At these speeds, it's practically on par with a GTX 780 in this title.

The 770 has been a beast, so tempting

I just wanted to apologize to you and everyone for my behavior last night.

Your first night on BF3 was my worst night on BF3. I hope we can start fresh soon and hope I did not ruin your experience.
