OK I think I'll make order for a Gigabyte 7970 Ghz edition. I figure it's $80 cheaper than the 4gb GTX670 and 3gb is PLENTY. I definitely wanted more than 2gb with a 2560 x 1440 monitor so I guess I should stop being stubborn and make the switch the ATI. I've noticed the Gigabyte 7970 ghz...

Yeah I'd love to save myself the cash and go that route, I only wish the GTX670s came in a 3gb version.. I'm worried I'll more than likely need more than 2gb within the next couple of years. Especially on a 2560 x 1440 monitor.

Thanks so much for the info. Leaning towards the Gigabyte 7970 OC Ghz edition currently. So just for arguments sake, if I wanted to stick to Nvidia and EVGA (happy customer in the past) and get the EVGA GTX670 4gb, how much of a performance decrease is it over the Gigabyte 7970 OC?

Yeah I've never really manually overclocked, so a factory overclocked card appeals to me. Especially only for $20 difference. No friends in the US really.. though I just got back from the US. If I'd have known my old GPU would die on me when I got back I'd have bought one over there. Does...

Alright so I guess the question now is: Sapphire 7970 3gb OC Edition http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1309&products_id=21322 OR Gigabyte 7970 Ghz Edition 3gb RAM http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1309&products_id=20995

Diablo 3, BF3.. though I was mainly worried about GTA V (when it's released probably early next year), considering how much of a beast of a computer it took to run GTA IV. Adobe CS6 also needs to be compatible as I'm a photographer.

If price wasn't a factor, is the 4gb EVGA card the best bet? Can it be overclocked to that of the 7970 level?

For a 27" 2560 x 1440 monitor: Help? Please keep in mind these are Australian prices, hence why they are more expensive. Which is the better value of these to pair with an i5 357k, Z77 Extreme4 rig? Gaming and photo editing (CS6). Will the 4gb card give me enough of an upgrade over the...

OK so a little update: I've ruled out these as the cause of the problem: 1. GPU - Started doing it on an old GPU. 2. RAM - 3 passes on Memtest86 and no errors 3. Overheating - http://i45.tinypic.com/34yafzs.jpg 4. Drivers - Updated So I guess this leaves me with either the CPU, MOBO or PSU...

Hmm interesting. I may be able to try my brother's PSU.. thanks for the tip. I'll give it a whirl tonight. Can I just use the same connector that's connected to everything in my computer currently but just use the different PSU?

I am using a Corsair TX750.

Yeah on Diablo III, but not just that. It does it in CS:GO and used to do it with WoW before I quit. I noticed it happened more in busier sequences (raids) more often than less strenuous circumstances, but I still haven't figured out the cause.

Ok so I just did a test, here's the last log before it crashed:

Hmm I'll give it a shot. I have used realtemp before but never thought to set up a log. My CPU is a i7 920 with Scythe Mugen 2 after marker cooler.

Hey all. I've had this problem for a while now. It's on and off, but ATM I can't play any of my games because at some random point (usually within half an hour into any game) my screen goes black, and I cannot alt+f4, CTRL+ALT+DELETE or anything.. I just have to restart my computer. Sometimes...
