So does that mean that Hayden released an update for his Skyrim fix?

Not yet, i'm using Halifax's fix and it works fine

No cards in stock, prices up 50 bucks across the board...can you say paper launch.

Even though the prices came down already.

went from 499-539 CAD to 550-599CAD

CAD>USD so fail

I won't be buying anything from team green or team red until prices drop

pricing is up pretty much across the board on 7970's as well, to be fair.

It was an issue with the installed game. I just did an integrity check on all the files and that fixed it.

That's a big Yes

I'm thinking on picking up Skyrim, how does it look and run maxed out with AA ?

Skyrim is awesome, get it nao...

Skyrim plays really well with the 680's. You'll need a couple of mods to make it look really nice though.
