Linus is one person. No one else on earth is Linus. 

haha, he's a special snowflake. 

anyway. Kind of disappointed. 

 

Guess there never will be a solution.

Even though the hardware is plenty powerful, I won't be able to use it, and will eventually be foced to upgrade.

How did you end up with a 6990?

Asus="why do I know more about the motherboards your company manufactures than any of the last 8 people I have been in contact with combined?"

And yes, I did say that, and I knew more by reading the bloody manual.

about 3 years ago, second hand for 1500 DKK (a little over 200$ USD)

 

Didn't know much about hardware, and thought it was better than GTX titan, because the specs said so, and so cheap compared to!! So I bought it and hoped for the best.

At that point I hadn't seen a single video from Linus yet.

Strange. I thought you made posts about getting a 290x or 980 sometime ago.

Trust me, that's not always the case.

Okay?

Might have thought of it. But never actually changed hardware. 

6990 still performs a solid fps on most of the games i play.
So didn't want to spend money on anything.

Yea... Your CPU should be replaced before anything else.

Well at least whatever is next, it will be a single card. 
Sli & Crossfire can go "#¤"# themselves.

Well.....dual SLI or Crossfire should be OK.

I've only had to use Customer Service with Apple a couple times, and they weren't too bad. Remember why...

Though it was over the phone.

yeah, and that's a big system change haha. 

Also would love to do a change before summer (free windows 10 still) 
But I wanna wait to see what zen is, and it will push down intel prices. DILEMMA!!!!

Well it's really not. I'm fed up with it already lol. 
So many games that don't support it, and when they do, it's rarely great.
Stuttering, flickering, bad optimized performance/fps drops.

So just like Linus, I'd really recommend a single more powerful card, which is what I will do in the future I think.

Not sure if calling them will really help. hmm. Might wanna give that a try. But that's in US, calling from Denmark, waiting in line, finding a solution, approx 1 hr, that's pretty expensive.
