Got my Gigabyte windforce 7970 Ghz edition
Must say so impressed with the build quality and look of the card.
Out of the box it's very quick, tried a little overclocking and managed 1200/1600 stable with no problems.
Only problem i do have is after upgrading to windows 8, my scores in heaven and 3dmark11 have all dropped a fair bit
But still chuffed to bits with the card.

LtMatthew said Windows 8 improved all his scores over Windows 7. Strange.
Not just me, shankly said the same as well.

I know that's the strange thing,
I'm finding it much better than win7 in terms of responsiveness etc,
Just my scores have dropped a fair bit on benchmarks Eg:
CPU is overclocked exactly the same as on windows 7 (4.6@23)
New GPU is overclocked exactly the same as on windows 7 with the recently DSR'd Sapphire 7970(1200/1600)
On windows 7 i scored 11533 for the gpu and both cpu scores were around 4500.
On windows 8 i scored 11280 for the gpu and both cpu scores are around 4150-4300.
Little more digging is needed i think, can't test any games at the moment as i have none downloaded.
Seems like the cpu is holding back my card though, but i can't think of anything i've missed.

I'm only using the Evaluation copy to see if i get on with it, would that be it? does it differ much from the final release?

Good choice of CPU my friend.
This thread is making me want an unlocked CPU..
Must....resist... My fiancee would have my nuts in a sling
Bit pointless just for some benchmarks really.
I thought you was getting a MSI board with a 3570K?
Might be worth checking for integrity violations. Right click command prompt, run as admin, then type sfc /scannow.
