Hey,
I read on another forum that the MoBo doesn't use that chip, But I'd have to check myself to be sure.
the DXDIAG file can be got from here:

I'll try and get you them tonight,
Not been on the PC much as I'm in the middle of a scratch built case.
But it would be nice to get this resolved, thanks.

No problem. It will be a lot easier to diagnose this issue with those so i will wait until you've got them then get the ball rolling.

My Replacement 290X Tri-X is on its way from OcUK, gonna put it straight on MM. What would you guys say is an acceptable price to put it up at? Obviously brand new and sealed but still needs to be cheaper than RRP I guess.

If anyone fancy a a bit of crossfire or wants a 290x there are 2 xfx refrence cards in b grade for 179 each only 2 left a bargain if I've ever seen one.

Be quick

Well I got my 3rd 290x reference yesterday plugged it in, not sure if it's been utalised fully does it make a difference also as my new card has 1030 on the core and my other 2 msi's are at 1000 as in finding bf4 not as smooth as I would like as usage seems to be up and down.
