Re: Haswell's C6/C7 low power states and PSU compatibility

Yes. You know the release chipset has a bug than can prevent attached some USB devices (supposedly not mouse or keyboard) from mounting when the PC wakes from sleep, right?

Cards Comparable to GTX 670 Direct CU II?

I'm planning on building a new PC this Summer, and after reading the review of Asus's GTX 670, it's pretty high on the list of video cards that I'm considering.
