I don't have money to throw away like most kids seem to think they do as they upgrade their phones every year attempting to satisfy that never ending lust.. Quality and longevity shouldn't be a dramatically more expensive experience especially when competitors seemingly have better components...
I just heard an Asus rep say the "E" version has 5k rated caps as opposed to the Crosshair that has 10K rated caps. Still disappointing for what you pay.
Nothing is mentioned except, "Durable capacitors" on these variations of this mobo. Anybody know if Asus is using Nichicon caps like they mention in the Hero model? I'd rather not have a mobo that has less than stellar caps. "Durable" sounds cheap.
The Asrock Taichi and Steel Legend use 12K...
Do the new high power excursion tolerances, associated with ATX 3.0 or PCIe 5.0, only apply when using the 12VHPWR connector or does it also apply to the other PCI-e connectors your gpu may be connected to? If so, then buying any ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 psu is pointless if you're not using the 12VHPWR...

Does the Vertex line 12VHPWR port have it's own dedicated rail? I was thinking of using the Vertex with my 7900xtx, but if I don't need/use the 12VHPWR port, there would be 600 watts unavailable-since it's reserved for this port--if it has it's own dedicated rail.
CODMW (not 2) pulled 415 watts! Fans were loud. Averaged maybe 170-ish fps. I have no idea if that's good for 1440p everything maxed out. Is that slow?
Trying to figure out the bios switch position. It came with the bios switch towards the rear of the card/away from the power connector. Isn't that the lower performance bios option? XFX 7900XTX Merc 310 Black
Battlefield Bad Company 2 isn't running that great with this card. I max just over 200fps and it frequently dips around 100fps. At the server menu it sits at 112fps. I think my 1080ti did much better. I'd like to keep it running at least 144 fps to match my monitor refresh rate.
Just installed my 7900XTX a few minutes ago and the latest Adrenaline drivers. What settings should I have enabled for gaming in the software? Is the Anti-lag setting effective w/o negative consequences?
I've only found blocks for reference 7900XTX cards coming soon, but no mention from any manufacturer, that I've found, of plans for water blocks for the XFX 7900XTX MERC310 Black Edition.
Anybody know more than I? The 7900XTX XFX MERC310 Black cards seem to be popular.
