    New GTX970 shuts down PC

    G'day all. I just bought a new MSI 4G GTX970. The installation went smoothly and hit 100 fps for the first time in my favourite title. ~5 minutes in, the PC suddenly shuts down midgame and automatically restarts but with no display. Using a HDMI cable in the onboard graphics I was able to check...

    Report: Nvidia 700-Series to Release in May; More Specs

    So the 780 is the only one with the GK110? As long as the price stays down I'll be happy.

    Will a H100 fit in a CM HAF 922 case?

    Yes, you will have to remove the top mounted 200mm fan but it should fit fine.

    What 7970 should I buy?

    A mate and I agonised over this same decision (also between 670/680). We chose the Gigabyte 7970 simply because of it being a good all-round card for a great (comparative) price. A couple months on and my mate is very happy in terms of both noise and performance. If I had the money, this would...

    Asus Radeon HD7970 3GB VS. EVGA GTX680 2GB

    I recently recommended a Gigabyte Windforce 7970 GHz to a mate of mine. BF3 @ 1440p is no problem. It is dual slot, stays reasonable cool and is not too loud

    Best Version of the GTX 680 4GB

    If you already have a GTX660ti then just get another one for SLI. A 670/680 would be an improvement but not as cost effective in your case. Also, since you are using 1 monitor, 2GB is plenty.

    Uprade recommendations?

    Well, it is always best to delay an upgrade for as long as possible. Although and i5/Z77 would be much better, it may not increase fps as much as you expect since you will still be running a GTX660. Are you noticing unacceptable performance right now or is this more precautionary. If the latter...

    Ahhhh, I remember that one too! Now I won't sleep until I know the name.

    Uprade recommendations?

    If that list is your current build, I would not change much. With a GTX660, upgrading the CPU and motherboard is unlikely to increase gaming performance. I would sort out your RAM. Do you have Two 4GB sticks and a 2GB stick? If so, I would remove the 2GB one as mixing RAM can cause problems. I...
