6950xts are 699 right now on newegg.

How high fps are you getting before it crashes ?I had a problem with gta5 stuttering at 180fsp.I locked it at 144fsp with radeon chill and had zero stuttering with it since.

Depends if you got 900 and up for a good 4k monitor thats 120hz or higher.I do all my fsp games on a 34 ultra wide and love it.Some driving games i use my 55 inch 4k tv and even at 60hz is still fun to do.And i got less then 700 dollars between my monitor and tv.

At 1080p the load will be pushed more cpu then gpu,So it don't matter what card you use the load is going to be more cpu because its 1080p.Now if you move up to 1440p or higher then you will see your gpu being fully used.Earlier i was playing gta5 at 1440p my cpu was 2% load while the gpu was in the 90% or higher load.

Thanks for the move

Just sharing the deals i see https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007709 601403917

I agree with them,I would trust and use the corsair cable over any adapter,Its less ugly and corsair made it for their own stuff and is fully tested to wor.

You need a 850 watt or higher to run that card,Buying a new psu is the only safe way to run that card.

I have a deepcool as500 plus on mine and it works amazing.

A lot of 6950xt are 699 on newegg right now

Youll spend more making one that don't leak,Then you will buying a card that can get a block for.

I use to admin servers for my old gaming clan,Anyone running a cheat i wouldn't ban them.I drove the nuts by random kicks and switch them back and forth to each side of the time.Once i got them mad they left the server and never came back.I kept a list of names ip and gamer id numbers.A few did change names but stood out easy.

I had a razer blackwidow die on me with in a year of owning it,For what it cost it should have lasted more then a year.But my 21 year old saitek eclipse i keep as a backup won't die!.

I thought id need one but havent yet,When i built my pc black friday i bought a cheap usb drive just in case.Its march and i have yet to even open that drive lol

Most people don't use them anymore.I haven't bought a game with a disc since bf3 and use streaming apps for movies.Some people use a usb drive for their media use.

The 3080ti was 350tdp while the 7900 xtx is 420tdp.Which don't sound like a big jump but it is a huge jump.

I'd spend the money and the 7900xt its newer and a little bit faster then the 6950xt.Also the 7900xt uses less power if that matters to you.

I don't trust ek nickel platting,I have seen it come off with standard known brand coolants.While any other brands nickel stays looking new with the same coolant.

If they don't get lost in the mail tho

I called it low end,For the price you can buy better cooling parts.Some cases a lot better parts.

Colored coolant is a bad idea,It will stain all your clear parts of the loop or cause worse problems.Go clear coolant and use rgb lighting to add color to it.
