While waiting for GTX 680

[azeem40]

Will HD 3000 Graphics be fine for some games? I am willing to play them on lowered settings until the GTX 680 is back in stock. My CPU will be an i5-2500k processor OCed to 4.5 GHz. I plan to play Runescape, BF3 and Skyrim. Thanks.

Sounds like onboard graphics.
Wait for the 680 dont even bother.

So I should not play any games until then? Then what would be the point of the PC till then?

Sometimes you just gotta be patient. I havent been able to touch my gaming rig in a while due to an RMA. Im not having a fit over it, and trust me Im a major battlefield junkie, im having fun in the mean time here

I am not going to cry over it. It's just a shock to me that I have to wait.
I have been patient for 4 months.

Well, you could ask your computer for a loan of performance, just tell it you have a 680 backing it soon

Freecell will work at Max Settings.

You asked the same question at H, and decided to get a 7970.
Good Luck.
If you are in the USA, you could put yourself on notify at EVGA's site, newegg for each model, NCIX will take pre-orders.
Tiger Direct like Newegg needs to be checked often, they had Gigabyte 680's yesterday for a while.

H is the only other review site along with this that I still trust.
Toms is retarded now.
PC per still does good reviews cause their review team is very good
Xtreme and guru forget it, their forum policys are boderline guantanamo lock up strictness.

Oh, and I too only trust HardOCP, TechPowerUp, and PC Per.
EDIT: If only there was a merge doublepost option.
