The silver lining is that the system i bought thinking it would easily run CLOD full tilt, now runs all of the other games i play, new and old, in such stunning detail I have no reason to be mad

With out CLOD I wouldn't have pulled the trigger on such a hefty new rig so soon

it is a shame though that I may need to be upgrading again by the time all the issues get worked out.
P.S 66 pages of dialog on this topic is just jaw dropping lol anyone who makes it to the end from the start gets a DFC from me
