hey guys, im just going around the intertubes gaging just how 'aware' users are as to their power requirements. the power draw was 245watts (210 from the system at 85% efficiency). the main point of this (atleast for me) is to help "maim" all the marketing being done, trying to push the...

it deals with both. quality in terms of distance is referred to as the LOD bias, as you can see in the slider in the AF tester. the lower this bias, the further the "good" texture will extend before being switched to a lower texture. the angles you see some video cards produce are mostly due...
