[QUOTE=wingless;35247093]Except the guy asked for gaming.[/QUOTE] I've been using AMD gear since I ditched my PIII, if my graphics card is good enough the difference in frame-rate between a comparable Intel rig is negligible.

[QUOTE=TheCactusman;35247529]Why would you want to do that anyway?[/QUOTE] same reason non-f2p tf2 players who whined about the transition are now smug that they bought the game.

My wallet is ready. Now I just need for them to get more cards goddamnit.

I'm waiting for nonreference coolers before buying.

[QUOTE=Makol;35247782]I'm waiting for nonreference coolers before buying.[/QUOTE] I'm actually looking for details on the ref coolers.

Once 4GB models come out I'm buying atleast 2. Trying to sell my 580's on OCN. Someone asked out much, I said 425, but that as a few hours before the 680's came out. And 425 is way high now I think.

oh dear god. brt's mod videos with 4 680's would be orgasmic

If I bought more than two, I'd need to get a new motherboard with more than two PCIe 16x slots. So probably not. I like the idea of these cards running about 40-50% faster than my cards, costing about 20% less, and using about 150watts less power.

Why does Asus charge $22 for a laptop hard drive caddy? Now I'm out $370. Oh well, time to start saving for a GTX 680. Plan on getting two, one during the summer and then a second for my birthday in September.

Am I the only one that doesn't see any hacks in COD 4 at least?

Is a GTX680 feasible with a 450 watt power supply?

[QUOTE=martijnp3000;35248352]Is a GTX680 feasible with a 450 watt power supply?[/QUOTE] it takes like [del]360W[/del] 190W on full load

Dammit, it would have saved me another 80 bucks.

what about a 520? How much do other components take? just for future reference

that number is from a metro 2033 benchmark btw [editline]22nd March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=altern;35248399]what about a 520? How much do other components take? just for future reference[/QUOTE] 520 is super low power consumption, you could run it on a 300W

[QUOTE=MC3craze;35248357]nope [editline]22nd March 2012[/editline] it takes like 360W on full load[/QUOTE] You're probably thinking of the full system. The 680 is only pulling like 170-190watts on load.

I've been noticing around here, (and most other places, in fact,) a bias of sorts towards Nvidia over AMD. Why is that? I'm not trying to cause an argument, I'm just really curious.

ugh, just calculated, if I were to remove my DVD drive, I would run on 453 watts of power.

I think most of us have had such bad experiences with AMD, that we've moved to Nvidia and preach it.
