Graphics Card Replacement

Nice.

Did you get the latest WHQL drivers or the new Betas? (285.27)

 

[V_R]

That will see you right for BF3 and the beta that is out soon!

I just went for the latest WHQL (280.26)... but now that you've posted that I may as well give the beta's a shot - looks like there are some decent performance boosts!

 

[V_R]

Ah yeah the new BETAs are supposed to be good, they haven't caused me any issues yet... but i'm still waiting for the mythical drivers that NV keep hinting at, the new 300.XX series.


BTW, was it a Twin Frozr you got Ian?

That's three of us in the 560 club then, lol. I'm also using the 280.26 drivers.

I've mentioned before my old machine wouldn't play Black Ops Multiplayer smoothly. Well the new machine does

And very good it is too I think, much better than MW2 MP imo. Just played a few maps and didn't do too bad really, considering I didn't know the maps and am just starting (no perks yet).

One snag - I noticed I don't have some of the maps and the map packs cost money. This irritates the hell outta me.

 

[V_R]

Yeah there's a few DLC packs now Flops, just use the filters in the server browser to not find ones running the new maps.

Just the bog standard one:

It was the cheapest 560 there and plenty in stock, so I just went for it

Ah yeah, still a damn fine card, i was going to say if it was TF for that price then you got a stonking card for the ££.

That's almost the one I got, mine's EVGA but only oc'ed to 850, not 900. And mine cost £145.
