Depends on the game.
If the game is purely majority GPU usage, then you probably won't feel any bottleneck.
If the game requires alot of CPU power like massive AI(more processing power requirement),
then for those games, you probably won't see too much improvement with the new GPU.

Hi, I'm currently running driver v8.723, may I know if I should update it? Does the latest version (MSI Graphics Driver 9.002) have any stability issues? What are the differences, change-log? :s22:

It is ok to remove the gpu reactor of the second gpu but it's up to you if you are ok without it

I wanted to get the PCI wireless card but I know it will cause clearance problem when I decided to Xfire/SLI in the future so I got this... :s22:

Thinking of getting the R7850 TWIN FROZR 2GD5/OC this weekend, since my 6950 died recently and my budget is around $250.

Will I void my warranty if I were to OC the card with Afterburner?

If you don't damage the card from OC-ing shouldn't be a problem with warranty.

Nope.
As long no physical dmg, it fine.
No worries. :)
