Eh, anyone that can solder two wires together can create arrays of LEDs. The hardest part is making it look decent. I still fumble my way around sleeving wires.

Congrats. My Q6600 is starting to show its age, so I'm in the process of rebuilding my system, so I will have to stick with my 6970 (BIOS modded 6950) for now.

Going with a 3550K? Those look pretty awesome. Should be coming out soon.

I have a Sapp HD6950 2gb flashed to HD6970 spec myself, even after getting the HD7970's, I can honestly say I am still quite impressed by what it can do,BF3 @1080P + Ultra setting + 4xMSAA + FXAA in SP mode and still quote playable, Metro 2033 @1080P + Very High + AAA + Tessellation and it is quite playable as well. It is staying in my 2nd rig, unless I get a HD7990, then I might relegate it to a reserve card as I would shift one of the HD7970's to replace it.

It really is unbelievable when you think about it. So far ahead of it's time really.

Dang... I'm running 6850 O/C on my 20" LCD so no need for anything that powerful!

It is still the best looking game ever made technically. BF3 does not compare to Crysis IMO.

Shush, don't go repeating that in the BF3 forums, you'll have a buncha fanboys jumping on you!:eek:

Crysis at Very High Spec @1920x1200/1080 does look awesome, and the destructible environ made it stand way above others in its time, and even now. Want it to look even more awesome? Run it @6048x1200!;)

Edit - Even till now, I think Crysis at max setting, or near max in this case at Very High spec + 2x AA, it looks gorgeous. It is one of the few games that has withstood the test of time, still a graphically taxing game -
