You've got a valid point. I think we've got a winner. Thank you!

I did watercool my 3080, and watercooled cards are great, because of their much better thermals they can be OCed much more and are more silent
Problem with "stock" watercooled cards is that you can't do maintenance on the cooling (usually you can't even refill it), and if it gets clogged, emptied and fails you cannot replace anything yourself...
So I'd rather get the aircooled 6950XT and add a block, pump and rad myself 🙂
 

The Toxic LE IIRC is the XTX model of the Toxic line, AKA the worse one. The 6950 XT will perform better.
 
If it was the Toxic Extreme vs the 6950 XT, then it would be a different story. The difference between a 6900 XT XTXH core and 6950 XT is the stock power limit is higher and the memory can go 100MHz higher, that's it. If you aren't gonna overclock then, the 6950 XT would be a bit better out of the box, though if you did overclock them manually I'd expect the Toxic to possibly inch ahead ever so slightly. 
 
The reason I'm specifying XTX and XTXH is that there are two versions of the 6900 XT, one with locked memory clocks and a 3GHz core clock limit, and another with semi unlocked (you can still max out the slider most of the time, but the slider does go higher) memory slider and a 4GHz core clock limit, plus it's a lot better binned. It's effectively a 6925 XT. 

The first suggestion ended up working as a solution! Ran into a bunch of other hiccups unrelated to this, but the computer is alive and well. 
 
Thank you!

use risers on 2 cards?
they'll be flopping around, but at least they can function
 
though if you do, either get pcie 4.0 riser or manually set pcie gen to lower version
 
Or put a card in slot 2 and slot 4, assuming slot 4 fits larger than 2 slot cards
Then use riser on top slot

Finally got to play the game.
Users with Avast antivirus have been reporting that they got the game to run by uninstalling Avast, not disabling, completely uninstalling it.
 
Game runs pretty well with most setting on high and can hold 60fps at 1080p most of the time.
Like IrshaadH mentioned the game seems to rely heavily on a single core on my 5820k (4.2ghz) and that seems to be the main bottleneck.
My GPU usage is around 80% and my temps are noticeably lower than they are in games that usually are GPU reliant.
*Edit* GPU is a GTX 980 running at 1455

Do... and post lots of pictures and stats... I'm interested to see

lol......every time i retest... the score goes lower  :lol:

Gosh I'm such an idiot. Thank you. 

I think he has two 4gb sticks
Edit: slow post

CAD is worth a lot less than USD right..? Maybe something like i5 4460, H97 board by MSI or AsRock or something and the cheapest 2 sticks of 1600MHz (or higher if not a lot more expensive) 8GB RAM. Kingston is good, Crucial and some other brands too

Touche. All of my work was either on amd 200 cards, or nvidia 700 series cards.

It's really hard to say which mech keyboard is better than the other because all that matters are the orgasmic switches underneath *click*

Any piano players out there? 
 
Could you explain this to me?
 

 
They move their head up and down, all around, and just bounce around like some sort of crazy animal...
 
Have no idea why they do this, its really bothering me...
 
will i do that when i learn to play a song well?
 

It might not be (and likely isn't) where he first stated it, but you'd have to go through every NCIX Tech Tips / Linus Tech Tips / WAN Show / interview to find out when. I figured this was good enough, though.

If the timecode doesn't work, it's at 4m52s.

And I still experience problems with BF4. It's absurd how many bugs they left untouched.

Bruh. I think you're on the wrong forum for this style topic. Lol.

Yeah, it's probably the second easiest install in a computer. Behind ram of course.

Should be fine. But if it's not, the sandy bridge i7 is always an option.

Already done! My family is pretty mechanically savvy. We do tons of research on each individual car we look at or buy. I just didn't know if maybe someone knew a dirty secret about this specific car. Especially since it's fairly rare.

Agreed. Better spent on a nice air cooler.
