Ask me about Intel's DX10 HD 3000 drivers

Tell us more. I've never used the igpu for 3D graphics, though I were going to it would be for older titles in the hope they don't have the same issues as nivdia drivers (Gothic 1, thief, etc).

Well i am rebenching i3-2105 with the latest Intel drivers. And Vantage is better; most are unchanged and one of my games doesn't run any more. i will know much more when i am done. Then i'm going to bench with an overclocked GTX 580 and an overclocked HD 7970 (if i have time).

Hey SickBeast, do you plan on doing Bitcoin mining? From what I hear, the 7850 uses little power (with better power-performance ratio than the higher-up cards), so it might pay for itself off within 3-6 months of 24/7 mining?

I'm gonna try it and see if it's worth it. My electricity cost more than the Bitcoins I could generate with my GTX 460s.

If it's really that profitable I might just go get another 7850 right now.
