Cheers gregster,
Tbh i think i'll stick will my original idea and get the best 7970 i can afford.
The intention was always to upgrade to intel with next months pay anyway, plus, I've never really owned "the best" card in a series, Be it it from the green or red team, so having the option to do so is nice.
Really getting into benchmarking too!
Finding it all very addictive :)
hopefully with a swap to intel and a brand new 7970 in my rig, i'll get myself into the top thirty at least.
Now to decide what 7970 to get.....

Edit- Think if i can't get the lightning then this surely has to be be second best? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-108-GI&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=938

I understand that and the reason I have my system is from promising myself a decent gaming machine when my 2 girls started working and no longer required my money.

I don't regret a penny of it :)

Should have bought a bloody lightning yesterday when i had the chance.

Ask 5UB when they are due back in in CS. He will let you know if it is worth waiting or not.
 
Great reviews on that MOBO and the 3570K is a great chip. Makes sense but I sould still go the other way round (GPU first). It would be a massive boost when you swap out the mobo and CPU and you can see the real potential of a decent CPU. Personal choice on that though and sounds like a plan. Maybe next payday you may have seen something you like and it is cheaper. I can't see the mobo or CPU dropping much.

Send me the car for my top advice btw ;)
 
Outgoing bounced messages, we all thought the year ironclad game when the new version of 3DMark, Futuremark were surprised at its official website confirmed the release date of the new version of 3DMark, the Windows version of the first subsequent arrival of the mobile version.

From the message before the new version of 3DMark not only support traditional Windows platform, but also to support the mobile platform the Windows RT, Android, and iOS, and scores under different system directly comparable, this is also the first to support cross-platform comparison benchmarking software.
Generally speaking, the test project will have three: Android, iOS, Windows RT and desktop entry-level devices are corresponding "Ice Storm" the corresponding Windows laptop and in the end the home PC "Cloud Gate" and the corresponding enthusiast PC gaming platform, "Fire Strike".

Compared with the previous 3DMark Vantage, 3DMark 11, the new version of 3DMark for Windows has made ​​considerable improvements include: 1, the new test results show;, interactive performance charts.
First, the new version of 3DMark for Windows to use more detailed results show, to help players to better understand the performance of the hardware. Classification show screenshot from the official point of view, the test results based on different scenarios, and it is no longer just a fraction listed, but contains a FPS, GPU temperature, CPU temperature, CPU power consumption and clock frequency. In addition to being able to view detailed test results in 3DMark players, but also be submitted online, horizontal contrast.
Second, in view of the "Detailed results" option, 3DMark for Windows provides interactive charts show, players can zoom the graph, change the scale can also choose an item number or a point in time the results of view, for example, you can see the GPU temperature by 1:10 this moment.
Generally speaking, 3DMark for Windows to provide players with more detailed, user-friendly test results will also be the first time the lateral correlation of the cross-platform, PC hardware, mobile phones, tablet benchmark will achieve reunification is no longer any divide, all looking forward to it.
Finally, would like to ask a question, you said that in this new version of 3DMark for Windows A card edge or N card more favorable it?

Can your PC cope?

I will be running a thread the same as this one for those who are interested :)
 
F12 with AB Nick ;) I hear that browsing bit. I have nothing to do (much) on my week off and the Wife is at work and should stop looking at things. I am tempted to get another 360 rad and may well do if I get a couple of Titans (for when waterblocks come out).

I could spend a firtune :(

Sounds like a job for a Phobya Nova 1080, run around the same cost as a thick 360, big enough to be passive and effective and if you're just standing it up somewhere I'm pretty sure I have a spare set of feet for one somewhere you can have :)

Koolance QDC's are incredible, ultra high end quality, worth every penny, don't be tempted by cheaper brand QDC's.

Nice one. It would be leaning against a wall under my workspace, so no worries there.

I have read stories on the other connects and that has put me off.

Edit:

Added your score Andy :) Good gfx scores.

Hi all, While i am not trying to break any records i am stumped as to why my 3dmark 11 score is so low. I have cpu at 4.2ghz graphics card ( gtx 670 ) at 1180 core and memory at 3402 and patriot ram at 1866mhz with 9.10.10.27 2t.

My 3dmark is

Graphics Score 10115
Physics Score 8470
Combined Score 8049

Why is physics so low and combined . my P score is 9589.

Seems a very poor score.

GFX score is good but what CPU is it? Guessing, I would say something like a 3570K?

Edit:

Lol, I am a good guesser and nothing wrong with that Physics score :)

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.

I was asked to purchase a laptop for my Wifes friend at work and I got a cheap one with Windows 8 on it.

I hated it and also put a Windows 7 start proggy on. I can see why it is liked but it isn't my cuppa.

A few having driver issues with Windows 8 and Nvidia but nothing much to worry about.
