I'm not sure which is the best way to go. To be honest i just want to earn as much as possible in a short of space as time as possible, whilst not shortening the lifespan of my gpu or using too much electricity. Its like a fine balancing act.

You could always donate those coins to my wallet and give up the ghost passing it off as a thorough BIOS "benchmarking" test!
P.S. : Once you get the mining bug you just cant stop - isnt that right fellas?

Lol. I don't know its seems a lot of effort for very little reward tbh. I will stick with it for now, but i can see the novelty wearing off quick. I've earned half a light coin so far, need to at least see it through till i earn one.
Difficulty was 1.7ish when i started late last night. Its already up to 1.9. No idea what this means, but i know its not good.

Ahh if it's gone 1.9 I am having to revise the coin...

Assuming you've followed the links in my sig, cpu bottleneck. Have a friend (Mike306 - aka Rofls) who has the same cpu (2500k) and a 7990 and he reported the same thing. You need an i7 to release the power of a 7990 in BF4. Or wait for Mantle to release your cpu bottlenecks.

Teach me o wise one.
Will email you the change brudder!

Yep I have done
I'll probably upgrade next year. I don't fancy changing motherboard for one game
I ran 3DMark and strangely my Physics score is lower than when I had my 680

Reminds me, any news of this mantle introduction - anyone?

Mid to late December for Mantle. Not long now.

So, playing Hitman Absolution in fullscreen and I am noticing something.
1st GPU 99% 1000 Core and 1500 Memory
2nd GPU 0%-30% 300 Core and 150 Memory
Why is this? Crossfire is enabled.

If you want me to run the benchmark for comparison i can do. Let me know the settings and clocks used.

Just played a few minutes in Greg's match in a 32 man domination and my average FPS was below 50
I had ~30% GPU usage and in Afterburner my CPU cores were all maxed. Surely my CPU isn't that weak? I could get over 130fps in BF3.

Try playing again but this time shut down afterburner before you start. Are you using the latest version?
