once again, I know what I'm doing. I don't care about crysis performance, too much hype for nothing. Great game, better gfx than I expected, but still it's only 1 game. And I game at 1920*1200, so the extra power will help. The thing is that I have an amd cpu that is holding me, that is why I'm debating whether or not to spend the money. If anything I'll get the s1 but only keep it at 700mhz for the silence and better cooling. But I still want to cool the VRM, so that's another big thing on hold.


Once again guys, I know what I'm doing, I probably have more experience than most of the people at xs anyways, I'm only new to modding, I've done my share of ocing and am building a phase change. My only difficulty is my tight budget, and that's why I have an amd cpu still and have to debate about spending $26
