@Calibra2zero talking out your arse.
can i ask what do you know about extreme overclocking etc....... rest my case.
The new FX card will not run new games simple as that. They also dont even come close to the 9800 they can be overclocked to fuck with just the simple adjustment of a better heat sink.
