And if the whole thing is a setup byXFX's marketing then the only person who will report it is the one who outbids the current high bidder, which means bidding a minimum of $1.1 million. Not likely...

The FVF fee's are a percentage of the final amount it sells for, and even if it that amount was the smallest it could possibly be on ebay, 1%, that will be $10,000. As it is, the FVF fee's are never just 1% of the final amount. These fees are obligatory, whether the "buyer" pays or not, they are calculated the moment the auction ends if it has received any bids... this auction has had at least 44 of them. The current high bidder has a rating of 0 and placed his current bid less than a day after the auction was listed, which is suspicious enough but when that initial bid was at least $1,100,000 it makes it even more suspicous, but whatever the outcome, the resulting fees will need to be paid. If this auction is genuine, which is highly unlikely, then the current high bidder is almost certainly a time waster and there is nothing to stop him using an easily exploitableloophole in ebay to not have to pay, yet still leave the seller with $10,000+ in fees to pay.

Not the smartest piece of marketing ever created, this one ebay listing is hardly going to attract a massive amount of attention and yet it's already going to cost whoever listed it at least $10,000 in fees.

More points:

1. We've no idea what RAM kit/s are being used... no brand, speed, timings, nothing.

2) We've no idea which motherboard is being used, only that it's made by Asus

3) You say both MODULES are identical, does this mean you are installing an 8gb kit made up of2x 4gb DIMM's? Not all motherboards support 4gb DIMM's

4) Have you eliminated the possibility that if the RAM is fully compatible, it's not defective? Does it work on another PC?

I used to get this on occasion and it was always due to one of two things. It was either the graphics card driver or it was my SSD causing it to stutter (was an older one which didn't have TRIM support). Since updating drivers and replacing the SSD it's gone... for now.

You won't gain any performance, you're more likely to lose some. It may have DX11 features, but it doesn't have anything like the power required to run DX11 games at acceptable frame-rates unless you are running them at a very low resolution and/or with in-game settings so low that the DX11 features will most likely be disabled.

Whoever wrote that article could at least have looked at the photograph before writing it... the board has it's name written on it between the bottom two PCI-Express slots... GA-X58A-UDP7...

You have to complete the first stage of Episode I, but once you've done that and you are taken back to the canteen following the game save, you can access all episodes, I-VI

Install the DX updates from Microsoft (search for dxwebsetup) and then start the game as normal. It works fine on my PC with Win 7

XFX XT versions are factory overclocked.
