[QUOTE=Strikebango;37473079]Where can you get an MHL adapter for Galaxy Nexus? Norway[/QUOTE] eBay.

Well, i guess I'll go with the 2GB MSI 660 ti.

What ever happened to XFX? They were the bee's knees when I got my 5770s.

ugh XFX worst experience I've ever had with a company

Didnt they get buttraped by nvidia for making ati gpus

[QUOTE=Makol;37476863]ugh XFX worst experience I've ever had with a company[/QUOTE] Let me share an experience I had with one of there cards. I payed 69.99 for a card that lasted 3 months

[QUOTE=smileykiller447;37477155]Let me share an experience I had with one of there cards. I payed 69.99 for a card that lasted 3 months[/QUOTE] I rma'd two HD 6870, got two bad ones back, sent those in, got one bad one, sent in that one bad card, to receive yet again another bad one. Then after a little less than two months of rma'ing I got two good cards. But now I have to rma a GTX 670 since the fan ticks like crazy past 60% fan speed. Plus I think there's coil whine??? idk

XFX did cost cutting and shat on most of their newer customers. And yes, Nvidia was like wtfbro and cut them off when they were selling AMD.

XFX was like the best company to buy graphics card from when they were still making nvidia cards

SSD bracket arrived today Actual SSD still hasn't been processed

Now I don't feel [B]so[/B] bad about my XFX 1GB 9400GT! B)

So my friend is trying to tell me that the 560 ti is pretty much the same as the 660 ti and I'm wasting my money. Is this true?

Also, enjoy a photo of a nvidia 650m found inside of a Macbook Pro Retina that I took today: [IMG_thumb]http://i50.tinypic.com/243pwr6.jpg[/IMG_thumb]

What's with the black paint covering the PCB?

their mobos look classy~

[QUOTE=latin_geek;37478350]What's with the black paint covering the PCB?[/QUOTE] Motherboards and GPUs has been using black lacquer for ages, why is it surprising?

Is that just on apple stuff? Never seen a GPU or Mobo that had the tracks covered.

[QUOTE=latin_geek;37478531]Is that just on apple stuff? Never seen a GPU or Mobo that had the tracks covered.[/QUOTE] No, lots of PC motherboards and components have black PCBs for the past couple of years. It's extremely common now

HEH. That shim around the GPU die is interesting though. What material is it made out of? And how was the thermal paste?

[QUOTE=Makol;37478534]nope[/QUOTE] Yeah, i figured. I just looked up some benchmarks and the 660 ti, for lack of a better word, rapes the 560 ti.

[QUOTE=TonyTheBean;37478677]Yeah, i figured. I just looked up some benchmarks and the 660 ti, for lack of a better word, rapes the 560 ti.[/QUOTE] The 660 Ti is a great card as far as I can tell. What are you gonna do with your 6870s?

[QUOTE=Makol;37478695]The 660 Ti is a great card as far as I can tell. What are you gonna do with your 6870s?[/QUOTE] Let me remind ya'll. The GTX670 is basically the next gen GTX580, as to the GTX480. the GTX660ti basically is the next gen GTX570. The GTX680 = the GTX285

Everyone knows that Sapphire and Asus, MSI are the best amd graphic cards.

I think Sapphire is like the best for AMD. I have been using them for years and not a single card has died yet. Like I literally have 6+ year old cards that still work perfectly.

My friend had a Sapphire HD3850. Even though it ran at 120C, it worked completely fine.

Raw power. The best part is, you could probably run Sapphire cards at 150° with stock cooler and they'd still shrug it off.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;37479149]120c? Defective cooling? Or just bad ventilation?[/QUOTE] Both. He had a mATX case and nowhere to put all the cables. But his 7750 survived the month or two in his case with 35C absolutely okay. His new case lowered the temps a bit tho. We wasted a bit of time doing cable management in it too.

He had a 70mm fan in the back and a 120mm fan on the side. And a small 40mm fan for HDDs. He had a 960T (Upgraded from Athlon x2 something) and then a HD3850 what he upgraded to a HD7750. Defective cooling was one part of his problem, airflow was blocked by cables.

My case is the worst for cable management There's about 1-2cm of space behind the motherboard tray, tons of room for sticking cables But there isn't any holes to put the cables through
