If so, what type of game? It will make games start up and load faster. And by load faster I mean like how long a loading screen appears, and not how many FPS you get. SC2 multiplayer you will still have to wait for other players to load maps so probably little or no difference. No difference once playing a match. | ||

The Z68 comes with features such as SSD caching and and Quick Sync (finally combining P67 and H67 features). But who really benefits from that? | ||

If so, what type of game? hopefully someone will correct me if im wrong but i think SSD gets information faster so it cuts down on load times | ||

Whenever I play SC my keyboard (a knew Das Mechanical) freezes and beeps once (and once every key press afterwards). The only way to get it to reconnect is clicking a mouse button or something. This didn't happen outside of the game until just now typing this... is this a faulty keyboard? or do I need to mess with something in the bios/drivers of my mobo? **edit** I'm begining to think it might be that the USB ports aren't putting out enough power? ....****edit***figured it out I think. I swapped the USB port one of my adaptors was plugged into and everything seems to be working fine without a hiccup now! | ||

2. Now i know both these cards should be way overkill for sc2. Anyways, have there been any benchmarking tests comparing these cards for sc2? Which would be better for sc2 or would both be equally overkill? | ||

You can safely ignore the 2GB unless you have some huge single monitor resolution or triple monitor setup. Comparing with 1 GB makes more sense. | ||

(not taking prize into account) 2. Now i know both these cards should be way overkill for sc2. Anyways, have there been any benchmarking tests comparing these cards for sc2? Which would be better for sc2 or would both be equally overkill? 6970. In even anandtech benches 6970 wins slightly but they are outdated, after the new performance drivers by amd the performance of 6970 has increased by up to 15% and hence is the clearly better buy | ||

Obviously i cant have a massive Noctua fan if i dont have LP memory. Get a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ or EVO? Noctua heatsinks has clearance for about 45mm memory modules which means some memory modules with heatspreader fins are capable of fitting under it (eg. GSkill Ripjaws X). | ||

I've seen at least one test in the past week for the 7970 where they ran all the cards with newest drivers (12.1 preview for 6970 and 285.79 beta) at sweclockers.com and 570GTX still had a slight edge even if it is minimal. edit: Depends on what games are run of course but since 570 has been slightly faster for a long time I think the burden of proof lies elsewhere anyway. | ||
