Why oh why did I buy a P55 board
Oh well, it's a cheap enough swap.

It sucked because I was all ready to play a quick game while waiting for the KU basketball to come on and then BBAAMM I had to wait for a patch download.....It started fast and then just got slower and slower. I ended up not playing.

I ended up AA raping.
It seems like they weakened the carbines.

Hopefully they did better than the past. In the past they would take one step forward and two steps back IMO.

I should have thought about this before I started looking at Crossfire setups. While my board does support CrossFire, it seems like it'd be a waste to try it since the second PCI-E slot is only 4x. Back in January when I put this system together I never really planned on serious Eyefinity gaming where I'd need 2 GPUs... So, if I want to keep the board and upgrade to a better card it'd have to be the 6990. Otherwise it doesn't really make much sense to step from a single 5870 to a single 6970 on an eyefinity setup IMO. Best option I guess would be to tough it out with 5760x1080 at medium settings (or drop down to 1920x1080 on High/Ultra) and wait for some new tech to roll out and/or pricing to come down and do a fresh build. *sigh*

Well it appears the bandwidth hit isn't as bad as I thought it was after further research. Still something to think about...
*Edit* Scratch that. It appears my Mobo is not really going to cut it with Crossfire, so no point in going to two cards right now.

I'm a goober. Just bought an MSI P55-GD80 which will better support Crossfire. Just have to transfer everything over from my existing board and keep it as a spare or put it up on Ebay.

I am pretty much set on the MSI 2GB R6950 Twin Frozr III for my Crossfire cards. Cooling on it looks great, stock clocks are a good bit faster than a base 6950, and I can turn it up even more if needed and still maintain some good cooling. So hopefully my BF3 and gaming experience overall will improve!

I've only used TeamSpeak though I don't have the latest version loaded on this computer.
