Its either spend money on computers or hookers and booze
When you have xfire'd 7970's and a 3930k @ 5.0GHz... Doesnt that pretty much leave hookers and booze as the only available option?

Probably "happy", after all, is a new "upgrade".

It feels great, Im getting a second one
24/7 overclock at 1000mhz core and 2300mhz mem at 1.087V at 100% fan This 100% fan speed sounds like the 7970 at 50% or less 
And I discovered "PC Mode" on my 32 inch, the picture became smaller and the textures looks waaaaay better than before because of 1:1 pixel mapping that is enabled in this mode.
I dont see a downside to 560 SLI, I have the performance near a 7970 or 680, with PhysX, with NVIDIA drivers, with a high 24/7 overclock and the noise is not noticable at all - this is the softest card I have ever had ! TF II rocks !!

Man these spammers are geniuses...put (NO SPAM) in the thread title to hide the spam. It's brilliant. Hopefully this doesn't catch on...what if rapists wear signs that say (NOT A RAPIST)? They will be raping everybody! D:
