Modern fan motors can be quiet. Even 40mm unless they're travelling at insane speeds. The 5 x fans on the giga SO will be speed restricted. You won't hear any high pitch whine. Since it's a super-overclock and since gigabyte super-overclocks tend to be the most extreme in terms of factory...

I have Auzentech X-Meridian 2g. Best soundcard I have ever owned. No bloated drivers, no BSODS when I change sound mode (there is no changing sound mode). The soundcard just works and u can upgrade the 4 x opamps. I live in the UK. My previous soundcard was XFI Titanium and it was the...

It needs more memory for BF3 and Crysis 2 DX11. Those games can use more than 2gb GDDR on ultra settings especially for those who go beyond 1080. The mem requirements are well documented.

Agree. I guess it will only run on 680 but I want to upgrade. Over at bit tech forum there is great controversy over the 2gb the new GPU has. For me it's enough at 1080 but some people running much higher res and say they're gonna wait for the 4gb.

Actually I think something of interest to note is that if you take crysis without any bullshit mods and compare it to crysis 2 or BF3, you can really see how games have progressed graphically. Not just visuals but character animation and physics. Certainly consoles have done a lot to damage...

Well, I take some of your points and I agree about the Samaritan demo. That is unquestionably something that raises the bar but I believe BF3 does also. The only issue here is when you believe subjectively that the bar has not been raised to your ideal. We all have different ideals. I...

Totally stupid argument. BF3 is ground-breaking in so many ways and it doesn't need a set quota of improvements in order to reach your pedestal where it can be classed as worthy. BF3 is a great PC game and many people have built PC's just so they can play it. You may think you have an...

I'm wondering if you've even played BF3. Have you played the Jet or Tank mission in single player? It seems not. In multiplayer it's the same story... Your argument is rather silly because it's entirely subjective. I could say that Crysis was nothing in terms of what it brought compared to...

Assuming you haven't played BF3 on single player? It is ground-breaking in almost every way. New levels of visual realism, most realistic character motion using ANT, written for PC first and foremost and you don't think it's ground-breaking? One GIANT LOL!!! Something is groundbreaking when...

Nvidia demos used to be great. Cascades, Last chance gas station, geoforms, Dawn... More recently they have given us some real boring crap like Stone Giant, aliens v triangles, endless city.

Oh dear, custom PCB, u can forget about full cover waterblocks but I guess a VGA core only will be ok as long as the mosfets on this thing aren't heatsink cooled.

For me they fail because they simply don't produce positional audio. Nothing like 5.1 and yet that is how they are marketed. So, as good as they sound for games and movies, there is no point owning them if you wanted them for 5.1 sound. I can't fault the look, feel, the useful control box...

Just want to clarify something for readers here... I owned the KAVE headphones over a year ago. The look, feel and construction was very nice. The most important feature (surround) totally fails. I tested them on a variety of 3d sound sources and there is absolutely nothing even close to...
