yeah idk, seems like it could be something with your cpu, since it's performance seemed to be different with 32 vs 64 bit. I'm not sure why that would be though. it could be that the 64 bit version includes some extra bells-n-whistles outside of increased memory access

intel gang :boss:
Idk what else 64bit mode has but I don't care about extra p's. :troll:

all I know is that game is hungry for resources. it had all 4 of my cores around 90%, while using over 5gb ram, and over 2gb of vram. I imagine there's a lot of 'memory swapping', 'load balancing', etc going on, and any weak link will be the bottleneck

Did you get the 7970?
Yup. I just installed it and it's working. :win:

Returned the 270X and got this with my 2year warranty switched over to this card and $16 credit since this was cheaper. :ohlawd: Microcenter is the shyt man. Now I'm about to list all these games on ebay. I've sold games on there before and I was lucky I wasn't scammed but :patrice:.
