Unfortunately, your Quadros aren't going to be pushing your FPS very high.
Port:
So the new CPU and GPU I bought arrived, but it turns out I need a new PSU to use the GPU. Great. Oh well, it'll be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Regardless:
CPU: AMD FX-8120 (would get FX-8350 but it wasn't compatible with my motherboard)
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7870
just to put that into perspective, here's what the desktop I bought these for was using beforehand
CPU: some dual core 0.25 GHz CPU I don't remember the name of
GPU: NVidia GeForce 9500 GT

I'm going to have one last look at the manual and see if there's anything (I thought I saw some jumper caps on some settings). I'm not bothered that one of the front ports doesn't work because of how much monies I spent on this PC.
