    Using the Asus sabertooth x79 myself and have not had a single problem with it. Having my 3820 OC to 4.75Ghz 24/7, stable as a rock! From my experince I will recommend this board.

    They want to appeal to the mass market.  That's why when a company strikes gold with a gaming formula (COD is the first one that comes to mind) they can milk it for ages.
     
    Side Note: Below is a great (and funny) video based loosely on this topic.  There is some language that may offend, just a heads up.

    That would be fine if most developers didn't half ass it and change health and damage values at higher difficulties, at least in shooters.
    I'd really love it if the AI changes with higher difficulties and not just health values.

    Tell me you didn't add a second 680 for 1080p @60hz?
     
    If you aren't running VSYNC then you should be getting full usage out of both cards. 
     
    I dunno, telling somebody not to SLI because you did something wrong isn't right. 
     
    Honestly, if people are having all kinds of issues with SLI then it's something on their end. The only problems I've had with SLI is it doesn't work in some games and other games have a terrible driver for it. When a game has a good driver then there's absolutely nothing wrong with SLI. I can play BF3, Tomb Raider, Starcraft 2, Far Cry 3, Borderlands 2, XCOM, Alan Wake, pretty much every game I currently have installed with zero SLI issues. However, there's a few where either there isn't a driver or the game is just a POS to begin with, like Metro Last Light. 
     
    People talking about all this micro stutter and crashing and whatever else is just nonsense. I'm sure older cards had issues with microstutter but I've had zero issues with my 670's. As far as crashing goes, I can put money on it that it's something to do with their power supply not cutting it. 
     
    Now what you shouldn't do is get two weak cards because if a game doesn't support SLI your stuck with a single weak card. For instance, you'd be better of with SLI 770's then SLI'd 660's. Instead of the 660's your better off getting a single 780! 
     
    Sorry for the long ramble.

    To much "Go here do that and come back" or "See the dot on the map, fast travel kill and get back!" not enough immersion in the games, feels more like movies(Tomb raider) not enough incentive to actually pay attention, see skyrim! Want more games like the elder scolls before skyrim where I actually found quests reading through books, could follow a story  that were pasted down through the NPC telling you stuff.

    My first Pentium 3 was a beast, overclocked that thing to 550 mhz(from 300 mind you) got it stable for about a week then it burned and took my VGA/mobo/ram with it :D those were the days!!

    Dragontail reacted to Kuzma in Two 2gb cards or two 4gb cards?   
    *sigh* If only people would remember what I said, the 760 and 770 do not utilise the extra 2GB of VRAM from getting the 4GB versions unless you are running them 3way SLI+ so it is not worth getting. This is due to the bus size as it's only a 256bit interface and 128bits per GB is recommended.

    Dragontail got a reaction from Adam the Grim in Two 2gb cards or two 4gb cards?   
    Dont really get it why people keep saying this. If you look at the PC market(steam in perticular) the avarge joe are still on duo core with a 460 or equal card. And if I were a game producer I would make games that actally works on most computers would I not? 2GB will be plenty for gaming unless your modding things out of specc for the game(like skyrim) but that is not the majority of the people. And another thesis that might support 2 gig will be plenty for atleast 2-3years is that all the midrange cards have 2gig or under and those cards are the ones selling.

    Having two evga 780 in sli reference design I must say they are awsome. Not under water yet, but soon. on air they overclock good also and boosts are now over 1200 mhz. And yes evga has no stickers on the screws with the warranty void bullcrap so its a good way to go if your planning WC-loops.

    Just saying this, if you planing on out of the box use your computer, get the latest 4770k. If you like overclocking, baller memory bandwidth, tri sli in 16x then go for the x79. I have the Sabertooth x79 with the I7 3820@4.75Ghz@1.4v so I am not gonna upgrade until they release the IB-E cpus or Hasswell-E, have not decided yet and I just love my CPU :) have not regret my buy for a second!

    Dragontail got a reaction from Ashratt in Boycott the gtx 780   
    This is my theory and no facts whatsoever!!!!
     
    Well to me it smells like smart marketing, see when nvidia released the titan at such a high price they knew that the card would be on top and no competition would be available in a sensible time(still isn´t). Then they let the price sink in and we the consumers bought the card knowing they had something in store later down the line, just like the 680 and the 670 release. Now they could charge premium even for the cutdown version(even though I am sure they can cut the price even futher and make a profit, still my theory NO FACTS) and we the consumers would think ah a card that almost performs as the best card but with alot lesser price. Now we start accepting the price even for the cutdown card and nvidia justifies there prices and from the comments I have read most people on this site think this price is an ok price, even though it is a higher price than their last generations of flagships, badabam Nvidia has succeded with their marketing!
     
    Well thats my 2 cent from the 680 and 670 launch and titan-780 launch.
     
    No matter what you do if you can justify to yourself the price is worth it, then it is. It is your money, your time and you should be enjoying it as you want it.

    Sounds like you have set your mind onto the switch 810 :)
     
    Pros
     rather cheap for what you get
     Dust filters is awesome
     window although they could have cut the edge so you dont have to see the 5.25 inch bays
     Lots of cooling options
     integrated 120/140mm support in all the fan holes
    Cons
     Its flimsy, if you like me dont want the whole HDD trays the construct becomes really flimsy, might be worth considering if you are planing to move it around alot
     To little space for cable management
     Bottom dustfilters are in the way if you have to move it and they fall out easily
     Cannot have 280 rad in the bottom without modifying it, nor in the front
     Lots of plastic
     
    Now its up to you :D good luck!
