    Hey guys,

    So I have my 7970m put in, and I am looking at my next upgrade. Either I go with the 940XM processor or X fire the 7970m. Now I know many people say that the processor will be a better boost for me. However, I am running into issues with recording on ultra with Wildstar. So do you think i may get better recording results from a x fired 7970m, or the processor?

    Processor would be better, which CPU do you have at the moment?

    Try AMD Raptr. It might use your GPU in the same way Shadowplay does for Nvidia.
