So because of the igpu problems as posted earlier. I am going to get a 9800gt 1gb ddr3 version but its 128 bit not the 256 bit :( With what new graphics card is the performance comparable to? I am not getting a 660 until about 5-6 months or atleast until they get released.So i think this is gonna have to work. Gonna cost me about 35 bucks here. Any help?

Take it apart and bake it! It will fix it.

If it's actually a chip on the motherboard your going to have to get a heatgun and hit the chip for 3-4min on high.

So my igpu keeps artifacting since i overclocked the igpu on a z68 board with the msi oc genie ii. Now i have disabled that but it still artifacts a lot. Is there a way where maybe i could downclock the gpu and then the artifacts would go away? Any help? i am on the latest drivers. Changing drivers 3-4 times didnt help. Any help guys?

what power supply are you using?

meh, id wait for the 660 just so that prices on the radeon 7xxx series drops. 3gb of ram >>>1.5gb of ram

More vram is always useful, people used to say 512mb vram is all we need for 1080p gaming, look where we're at now, 2gb is almost standard. Also you're belief that AMD drivers are terrible is misinformed. AMD video cards will play most games perfectly, only a few will have issues but fixes are constantly updated. If I were you, I would only look for what is the better bang for your buck.

[QUOTE="Diwashb"][QUOTE="ionusX"] ~300 bucks, 1st half of august and inferior to hd 7950 but better than 7870 (at stock) or this is nvidia's target anyway however before this month is over amd will have an hd 7950 ghz edition, hd 7930 and hd 7990 to muddle things up so its tough call to make atm if i would wait as a gtx 580 will @ minimum match a gtx 660
