Re: PC Gaming thread.

Well from what I heard James, you made a good purchase... the OC capabilities are meant to be very promising :smileyhappy: And additionally, about these Ivy Bridge things, I might make them my next upgrade choice. Probably something I will do in a year or two, most likely two. But forgive me for being a bit naive, I am suprised the picture they showed of them have four cores, I thought Intel would have used this as opportunity to make 6-core there new bottom standard and thus start shipping 8-cores as an expensive upper tier product. :smileysad:

Re: PC Gaming thread.

They won't start increasing core count until the next generation of CPUs, Ivy Bridge was never going to be a big step forward due to their tick-tock release cycle.

 

As for my 7850, this is my stable OC that I've managed plus a quick benchmark :smileyhappy:

Re: PC Gaming thread.

Yes If it was out when I bought my card I probably would of went with one. But I did have the money and I wanted to future proof my system has much has I could. You done really well with that buy :smileyhappy: If I was you I would look at OC your cpu abit to 3ghz at least. BF3 performs much better with OC CPU. That if you even play BF3 like lol
