Hi There, I tried to overclock my 7870DD, but soon realized that I will have to increase the voltage for the better results. First tried with SapphireTrixx. Then with MSI Afterburtner - I tried several tricks to enable the voltage slider ( with cfg and registry ) but no luck. After googling I...

Okay, But Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 costs 164 $. Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 - 399. Also RAM timings and speed prefers Intel... This benchmark is completely unaccurate. Also 8350 is cheaper than i5s. An exactly benchmarks or "benchmarks" like this one misleads most of the Intel's fun-boys.

And where are Smasund 840s ?

You forgot that Intel's platforms are usually more expensive than AMDs. E.g. MOBOs based on AMD3+ are cheaper than LGA 1155. With these saved money you can better GPU or (3)6-core AMD. Why don't you compare 2 (budget oriented) sub 600 - 800 $ platforms, based on AMD and Intell?

Why there are so big difference between your and other results? You claim that 590 is ~~almost~~ better than 6990, but Anandtech, OverclockerClubs and so many others shows the opposite? Did nVidia pay you?

Too late for nVidia. They should release these cards 1 year ago...

Why did you waste money for these expensive SSDs. Just by a vRaptor an you will achieve a similar IO speed. Why you use 8 GB instead of 4? This is a gamer machine and even on Vista Ultimate it is very difficult to reach 4 GB of RAM. Why don't you try with only 4 GB, but with smaller timings or...
