Intel claimed to have increased battery life with haswell by 50%. Are there any real world tests to verify this?

Wow! A GTX680 would really brighten up my mood! :)

Time for a new graphics card? :)

The 660ti is perfect for 1080p and people generally seem to like Galaxy on these forums.

Have owned a Galaxy card in the past. Never gave me any issues.

AMD is like warm apple pie. Happy Holidays. :)

XFX has really great customer service coupled with a crazy warranty. The 6990 is a nice upgrade for my 5870 that has had given me blue lines on my screen since day 1. :( Crossing my fingers...

Stereoscopic 3d is going to blow unless the 3d vision glasses are redesigned. Has anyone seen the frames? Your peripheral vision is basically blocked out entirely. So what then is the point of the side monitors? lol

I'm going to have to agree with this. Nvidia has a _LOT_ of pull in the game development industry. Any title that is "the way its meant to be played" will surely have moderate to heavy tessellation if they are going to have their way. Time will tell.

You guys mention gray lines but my issue is slightly different: I have a blue line at the very top of my screen. It's practically always there when I run 3d applications. Did not happen with my previous GTX280. Is this a similar issue that the hotfix will resolve or is mine entirely different?

Merry Christmas! This is one I could use. :)

Lmao! Sorry to storm on your parade but what's the point of this? Anyone can take screen shots at super high settings no matter what their setup is...??? HAHAHA. i'm drunk sorry

For a mere 30 euros I'd say take it. The 4870x2 will depreciate faster than the 5870 since the latter is a brand new card. You would definitely be future-proof as you can always xfire your 5870 for a big leap in performance. Can't do that with your 4870x2.

Yes and yes. :(

It doesn't appear in screenshots. I'm using a DVI monitor. 30" doublesight 305w What is strange is that if I drag an object over it the blue line is covered up and goes away. I have to drag the object off the screen though.
