It was definitely not cheap.. but a fun build... I use it for gaming and currently part time work. BFBC2 looks flat out amazing with everything beyond maxed out.

Loving the blue in it, sweet rig. ;) It's an obvious 10/10 based on looks alone.

My 2 EVGA GTX 480 HC FTW cards are a power house... sold my 5970 awhile back :(

Yes i watched the entire video... what was happening could have been microstuddering, artifacting etc.. Just Cause 2 isn;t a very SLI friendly game, so that could also be the issue.

That is Nvidia's micro studdering at its finest. Run Driver Sweeper and apply a fresh driver install.

As for vantage you run at its default settings to compare your score with others. I never hurts to run it at higher settings, but typical is performance mode.

Finally have been pushing this build to the end, just waiting on my custom cable sleeving to call it finished.

Get a Xigmatek HDT-S1283V Dark Knight, it'll be affordable and you'll be able to squeeze at least 3.6GTR2addict

I am a fan of the 100 dollar range motherboards. I don't see a need for some 200 dollar board, that won't give me much benefits.SinfulPotato
