Quote:Originally Posted by Vlasov_581  Typical OCN response. Nothing useful to say and no testing either. If rising heat is the primary cause of a hotter top card, then flip the motherboard or the case. I would do it myself but I...

Someone please flip their case upside down. Then, we will know if top cards actually run hotter.

Which cpu is better for gaming? It depends on which games. For dx9/dx10 games, I think core i3 is better. For dx11 games, I think Athlon II x4 750k will perform as good or a little better than core i3. Only a small number of games use...

I will buy it if core i3 at 5GHz+ is possible. If not, then no thanks.

A very good graphics card is not necessary to game at 120fps. Just lower the graphics settings (no AA or low AA). However, In many games, to run at 120fps, you will need a strong cpu. Anything more than approximately 75 fps will look...

Try installing both bulldozer hotfixes for windows 7. http://downloads.guru3d.com/AMD-Bulldozer-hotfix-from-Microsoft-download-2831.html When I installed windows 7 on my Athlon II X4 (modular cpu), I don't recall seeing this hotfix in...

Try disabling C6 power state in the bios. With my Athlon cpu, C6 causes the cpu frequency to fluctuate wildly. Check if your cpu and gpu are running at constant frequency, while stuttering happens.
