I think the homer made it look bigger haha

It looks great I love the heatsink on it.

I'd very much like to see your benchmark results if you get time/ can be bothered

Might have to reconsider my cf msi lightenings :/

I actually dont have any benchmark games installed ATM, i should install Dirt to run a test, but im too lazy, i dont play it, and my SSD is pretty stuffed at the moment.

For giggles i just ran Saints Row 3, which is no benchmark lol, just used fraps to see.

Ultra setting, running on 1920*1080, desktop on the two other screens, and i was getting no lower then 60fps and no higher then 80. All was running smooth. Since i've had issues with pCARS, i need to install it, and hope the issues have been fixed, thats when my real test begins, to see how much vram is uses.

That's pretty darn good jealous

I installed ProjectCars, havnt had a chance to really test it (due to a minor issue i need sorted with the game when in eyefinity) but, in 5760*1080, with everything turn up to max (oh and i love the fact that i can do this with no issue) While in single player, on eyefinity, im getting 30/35fps. Before i would struggle to get 35 with med graphics and alot of things turned off or way down, so im happy so far!

So far, the highest i have hit, was during an online race, on a non finished map, only 4 players, and then i say non finished, i mean, no details, like trees and other things that are found along the side of track. 2500mb of ram was used. I will be doing more testing when i have time, with 59 AI's on more finished tracks.
