or you could just ebay it if you dont mind shipping the item and waiting for your cash.

 

in my opinion with gk-110 amongst us that card only holds $600-$700 value to me.

if you know someone thatll give me $700ish cash for it ill probably take it :)

some guy had a pair posted for 700. i see they are gone now.

 

i want to go with 7970 as well, but after hearing about crossfire micro stutter and how its less evident with the green team i think gtx780 would be better as a single card solution or for sli.

 

the never settle bundle is a phenomenal value from team red. who doesn't like free swag?

yeah, and with the new prototype drivers their crossfire problem is doing quite well i tested it at a friends place, its more apparent with vsync on i found with vsync off it wasent even noticeable so crossfire doesnt bother me much, i have my eye on a 7970 lightning edition at mem ex that i would really like to snag along with a sabertooth z77

yeah i do that all the time but i can get a sabertooth z77 for $187 which is like $50 off as it is then ill just price match the 7970 lightning edition :) i think newegg is like $20 for the same card

 

Edit: my bad $10 cheaper but still awesome

yeah i would jump on it if they weren't gigabyte o.O i got so sick of blue in my system im trying to stay away from it now.. i dont mind the blue led on lightning edition cards though cause its not an ugly blue nor is it a pcb or motherboard its just a light :)

I never had this issue with my asus board but what i noticed is on this msi board my cpu is always locked at 4.6ghz with 1.27 - 1.28 volts. Since im not gaming 24/7 having the cpu downclock and use less power like these chips are supposed to it would be nice to figure out how to get this working again, i have eist on, i tried turning on c state i even cleared cmos so everything is default and it almost seems like with this board that just doesnt happen, i checked my power options in windows to make sure that was ok and its set so that minimum is 1% usage. i cant find any reason for it not to downclock when just sitting idle on the desktop any help would be great cause im a noob to msi boards and for some reason it seems to be alot more different then i thought it was from asus boards

C3/C6

C1

EIST

 

may all need to be enabled.....having the steady voltage can mess up the power mangement, i gave up on having EIST on and just settled for C3/C6 and had it use less watts.

----Ryzen R9 5900X----X570 Aorus elite----Vetroo V5----240GB Kingston HyperX 3k----Samsung 250GB EVO840----512GB Kingston Nvme----3TB Seagate----4TB Western Digital Green----8TB Seagate----32GB Patriot Viper 4 3200Mhz CL 16 ----Power Color Red dragon 5700XT----Fractal Design R4 Black Pearl ----Corsair RM850w----

yeah im giving up on it in general im not overly fond of the msi board, it was meant as a temp when my previous board died and now my new one that will be the permanent is on its way
