there is 11 type of people in this world. people who know binary and those who don't.

Sorry but I couldn't help myself but I had to correct this.  "10" is binary for "2" not "11".  That is all!  :x

did you downloaded the drivers from the company you bought it from? or from amd themselves?  dont let windows update your video card drivers, per many warnings on the bb.

on max settings at max textures and 2048 shadow textures she runs constant 59-60 FPS. video card is water cooled sound card makes everything better no lag at all when shooting guns or lots of sounds playing at once in 5.1 surround. pics will follow. also the 8gb's of ram are very nice!
