Well for the test I popped in a Zotac 210 (512Mb) because I still have to unpack/install the Water cooling loops needed for the 480's since they have built in water blocks

I've got 2 x 500 GB SATA's in my notebook. I'm the type of guy who is a minimalist PC wise; I keep only essential data on my systems, the rest goes on network or other external drives. The second drive is used to constantly update the first using an imaging utility. I've always got two backup copies of all drives in my house. My family relies on me to keep things flowing and I got tired of hearing my daughters crying over lost data.

You know for all the time, money, and stress that I spent building that rig sometimes I wonder if it was really worth it, But then I just start a career in GWX and see it load in the time it takes me to pull out a smoke and light it

Yeah at the moment I am using my notebook to hold 90% of my data also

-Before the overclock, with the I7 980x and cheap zotac 210.

I am tempted to just run out and grab a 470 to use till the parts get here, I can always throw it in another build seeing as how I have a spare OCZ 700w PSU

The CPU test 2 would have went better but it is Physx based and that is one thing the 980x doesn't do, I will just throw a Physx card in my fourth PCIe16 slot.

And the zotac actually runs well for a $50 dollar card, it's just the Dx10 that slows it to a crawl, if you wanted a card just for SH3/4 I would recommend it, but I plan on playing metro as well so I am just using it for now.

Oh to be able to run out and just grab a 470

And then just throw it into another build

Jealous? Me?

well the other build will probably wait a little while, but I do feel like grabbing the card soon.

It's supposed to be a holiday, a time to relax with family, not research!
