Have anyone tried 5 boxing with the new GTX 680?
I'm not very happy atm with the state of the drivers for the 7970 and is looking to jump ship.
Post up your thoughts please if you're currently five boxing on a gtx 680.

Driver shittiness happens on both sides.
That's all I am going to say.
Not when ATi/AMD refused to fix their cursor corruption for 2+ years :PQuote:

As for the card it runs great so far..no overclocked just stock speed..i,m on a quad core asus amd with 8 gig of ram..soon to be changed and upgraded but had no problems with the card attall..runs averaging 50 + in stormwind and out in the wild will go through and up too ive seen over 100 fps..
these are just numbers ive seen..not a real serious test...in general runs smooth.
Driver wise though if you read about the forums..when you go to the official drivers..you do get choppyness/stuttering and its noticeable..
Main advice is to stick for now with the stock driver provided on the dvd with the card..i'm on version 300.83 and have no problems with that.
I'm happy with it so far. :)
edit : if i get chance i'll try put up a small vid showing how it runs with 5 if i get time..for framerates etc..
What sort of issues are you having with the 7970, if I may ask? I can run 10 smoothly with my 7970, so just curious what was giving you trouble.Quote:

Most people are running a software solution that runs all of their screens in identical resolutions which obviously impacts the system more overall.Quote:
