Found my old Mushkin ram I used to run in this board. It seems to be happiest here so I'm going to leave it be for the time being. Loading Steam and Far Cry 3 right now...we'll see what the little cards can do. Oh yeah, a fresh hdd and OS install as well. :good:

Well, the 8800 GT's would work for a game like Call of Duty, but in Far Cry 3 they just won't cut the mustard. The GTX 295's are another matter...very nice game play with high settings. :)

Sorry, forgot the framerate overlay in the screenshots. Ran around 35/65fps.

damn it! witchy beat me to it! i was gonna give you the settings lol

oh btw ricks, i may have a water block for the NB not sure if you are going water or not i'll dig it out if you need it

Thanks kiki, but I'm going to avoid it if possible on this one. :)

Kool Stuff Rick, quad 295's doin the job .......... :thumbsup:

Cool, the 295's still got mustards. :thumbsup:

Vantage run required to crush the MSI lappy score ............ :thumbsup:

May have to rethink this...I suspect there is a problem with this chip. No amount of tweaking will allow it to exceed 3100MHz on the Evga mb using water or air. It hits a wall there and simply refuses to boot. I have tried it in the Intel mb and it does not like it at all straying from default settings. I believe it corrupted the OS so I reinstalled, but it makes no difference. :thumbdown:

That's a drag, must have pounded on it a bit to hard in the day. did you try dropping the 9550 in ........... ?
