Why aren't they plugged into his photoshopped HP Laptop? Looks like a ZD Series.

They usually come with little heatsinks for the ram and power circuits.

So wait... they're just rebrands.

I'd want to see the performance VS a 460SE. The 560SE has better clocks, but the 460SE has a wider memory interface. I'd be willing to bet there is very little difference between the two. If this thing is more then 140 bucks, its too much.

I have two of these roaming around in my shop. They got left with computers that either we never paid for or brought in for recycling. I used one for alittle bit on a bench unit, but it always sounded off to me. Like it made everythings tone flat. If you played the same sound at the same time on...

I would think you probably could get away with a 570, but you'd be VERY close to the top of that PSU. OCing would be out of the question. I'd say stop at the 560Ti. Then you're not running that PSU full bore, and you might be able to enjoy that 80+ bronze efficency.

I've been running Gigabyte almost exclusively since 2001, and I've never had a bad board from them. I've had five of them over that time period, and three are still in service. My EP45-DS4L has my crap Q8200 at 3.34ghz right now, and I'm sure if I had better ram, it would go higher. Gotta...

I think you've nailed it. The power connectors will be stacked because the fan is big.

Thats exactly why I'm jumping ship. Had a 4850 for years now, and I'm just sick of every driver update either messing up my fan profiles or oc. I'm tired of it. I mean, its been 4 years and they STILL haven't fixed the corrupted mouse on dual monitors bug. Its friggan retarded. I just ordered...

Yeah, but thats forced through firmware, and Sony admits its not compliant. Eh, Sony lost me forever when they took my Linux away. Pawned that mofo the day it happened. I'm changing my mind again. Its for the TEC cooler this thing is gonna need to keep cool.

No, its definately 2 slots. The ASUS version will likely be 3, but the ref will be 2.

Thats just cold blooded bro. None of us know what it is, we're all speculating. It could power an external popcorn popper for all we know. But not for DTS-HD. It required bitstream, not PCM stream.

I'm talking about true bitstreaming audio here. DTS-HD and Dolby plus and such. The 480/470/465 can not do that without an audio pass through. Its not built into the GF100 die. Yes, it has an audio device, but to get full support, it needs to be hooked to an external sound card. So...

The GTX480/470 and 465 do not have HDMI audio processors. Look it up. The 460 does. I do admit that this likely is what its for aswell. I didn't think of that.
