to be fair, the last girl who posted a pic of her butt ended up a moderator.

BP posted a pic of her butt?! I find that hard to process...
I do however find it slightly amusing that everyone gets all excited when a girl is on the forum, do people not realise we already have plenty of females? No attention for them?

Mussels said:

Only way I managed with 4500RPM's was to put them at sub 50% operating speeds, otherwise even noise cancelling can't block out that kind of dB. Also helps to have a case with semi decent noise containment, not necessarily an insulated case, but I found the old Phantom Full Tower wasn't half bad. Attaching them to a high FPI radiator to actually make use of the static pressure muffles a little noise by itself too, but I don't think OP is on a custom loop.

pps @FordGT90Concept your 5870 is awesome but it'd get trashed by skyrim with mods..and bf4..and far cry 3. the game list is short, yes, but its time is limited

I've put about 400 hours into Skyrim (only mod is the official high resolution textures pack) without problems. I've beat Far Cry 3 twice as well without problems. I have no interest in BF4 and it hasn't had any issues running BF3. In all cases, this is driving a 1920x1200 monitor.

wierd seeing as my 570 has problems in far cry and skyrim, and the 5870 was clocked at about 29 fps in far cry 3 in a recent comparison. i think if you gave skyrim a high quality ENB and some actual real high resolution textures (not that stupid pack) as well as the other landscape and various flora enhancements, you'd see the 5870 really slow down. (Thats how I play skyrim, at least)

Oh I'm not here to cause offence, I just figured people probably didn't want to be told their hardware sucked and was incapable of playing games to your standard is all. That sounds fair right? People are allowed to play how they are comfortable right?

i went from 2x 5870 to 1x 7970 and skyrim is a whole new beast. far more than double the performance, and that was before i added 2K and 4K texture mods.

now i can run 8xaa, 16xaf, all settings maxed at 1080p, the aforementioned texture packs and sit at 60FPS all the time.

Oh yeah!! My fiance is the easiest to shop for! All she likes are computer parts, games, programs, and assorted other tech gear. Basically, she is easy-peasy to shop for. all I have to think of is "will I like it?"

Hey 'typicalintrovert', if you don't mind the noise (and you've suggested you dont), give the 780 classified a run for it's money on full steam and pop in a firestrike and valley bench? Do you have a custom bios for it and do you have the software volt tool? No point having a Classified if you don't abuse it like hell.

firestrike bench 8900 overall at stock. my i5 isnt going to bring the overall score to its fullest potential. but i can for sure do firestrike at a good OC and see how it does.

i dont want to fully abuse a card i dropped 550 on though. i pretty much got the classy because its only 50 more than reference, and its a lot better.
