Those things are monsters performance wise but for their current price you can get two 290s that wipe the floor with it.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll have more questions, mostly just hypothetical for now.

i wish i could justify buying that 780 Ti but i got this regular 780 for $440 and that's a $260 jump. I game at 1080p so hopefully this 780 should last me at least 2.5-3 years.

Given your unrealistic expectations it'll probably last you 2.5-3 weeks.

Computer world moves fast breh, in 2.5-3 years you will be disgusted by your 780.

I'd almost call it golden if you can get 4.6 @ 1.2. The real challenge though is after 4.6 when the raises in voltage start becoming exponential. 4.8 under 1.3 and you got a blessed chip. Gabe himself dabbed it with holy water.

@2gunsup

jinxed myself breh.

couldnt do 4.7 so jumped back to 4.6

1st bsod at a little over 30 mins, raise to 1.215
2nd bsod at around the same time, raise to 1.230
p95 force close (lol)

gonna leave it at that and try again tomorrow.

so much for holy water blessed








side note; wish ASUS mobos had a sweet spot between high LLC and ultra LLC, that'd be perfect

 

[Bboystyle]

anyone know a tutorial to over clock my fx-9370? its at 4.4 (4.7 turbo). I just wanna push it to about 4.8 cuz i know at 5.0 i most likely will need a water cooler...

 

[Ciggavelli]

fukk it, I'm gonna say it...Tomb Raider has the best graphics of the year (maybe not from a technical polygon, individual grass blades shyt, shyt fukk standpoint , but from a purely visible one).

fukk a BF4 or Crysis 3 shyt just doesn't look as good to me
