    Ill try it later Kcuk and report back . I did let Resident evil 5 benchmark loop on the variable for abour 5 runs and froze up but was able to Ctrl Alt Delete back to desktop. I only have 3870s though so not sure we will have the same issues but ill let yeah know either way since i love my GTA4 :).
