That would lean more towards build quality. Here is a more screen quality oriented option: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005364[/url]

[/QUOTE] No. It's just what the benchmarks show. There's a huge jump between the two. Even going from two 6870s to a single 670 was big jump performance wise.

Is there a safe way to test to see if a SSD is failing? just curious.

I'm looking for a program that basically displays a graph of my laptop battery charge over time, but Google isn't giving me anything useful. Do you guys know if such a thing exists? (for Windows 7 by the way)

Is there a way to make windows think of two monitors as one with a 580gtx? I don't want to game, I just want to have more fun with [url]http://yooouuutuuube.com/[/url]

Not really much different than just resizing your window to fit your monitors, are you trying to use full screen mode i'm guessing? It seems to run fine stretched across my screens, it's just terribly laggy since my cpu is at 100% usage trying to play the video :v:

I just bought a new microphone. I plugged it in to the front panel to test the audio before I mounted it, and it worked fine. Mounted it and ran the cable, and I put it in the rear jack on my xonar dg. Now it's not working, is there a setting that needs to be changed somewhere to set this thing up for the audio card? I'm stumped [editline]23rd February 2013[/editline] [IMG]http://puu.sh/27bOG[/IMG] I set it up right here but I'm still getting no sounds at all through the mic

I want to be able to fit my older GTX 460 into my motherboard along with my newer Graphics card and use SLI, but it's like a cm too tall to fit. Is there like an extender thing or something that I could get?

Does the sound level increase when you try to blow at the mic or something? (the bars to the right)

My computer seems to turn off whenever it has to do something graphical, whether that is booting windows, booting a xubuntu live cd, even on safe mode, but it can sit on the BIOS menu or windows memory diagnostics fine, what is the most likely cause? Thanks

I'll find a alternative - 2 sec [URL]https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto[/URL] not sure if that includes gpu temperatures.. Well, you can find the temperatures in NVIDIA X settings or whatever it's called - if you have a NVIDIA gpu CPU temperatures can also be found in the BIOS
