Hey I'm a bit drunk and my input's probably not worth much but when nVidia released the 600 series I thought it was fairly apparent that the cards utilized vRAM differently than previous GPUs. I think that's evident considering that all of the reference cards haven't been higher than 2GB and...
I think this horse is already a bloody mess on the ground but I forget what kind of performance gains overclocking the 580 had. I've had mine at 100mhz overclocked since the week I bought it so I don't remember. Considering that 680 seems kind of weird to overclock this might close the gap a...

That chart above is a pretty good comparison. Looks like 480 performs at about 140% of your card. 480's around $200? I can't say for sure what you should do. Based on the prices we're looking at for the newer...
I just checked the invoice in my email and see that on Dec. 5th, 2010 I bought my GTX 580 for $535CAD+sh+tax. At the time, for myself, that was a lot of money to spend and I half thought I was crazy. A lot of this talk of prices being ridiculous on nVidia's and ATi's new cards was kind of going...
I don't agree with that logic. Why would they already have a prototype for the dual core GPU version of Kepler if they are having so many delays getting the actual Kepler out?
I use AIDA64 to monitor my vram, gpu usage, cpu usage by core, ram usage, temps on everything, clock speeds etc. The only thing that I couldn't get it to do is framerate. Unfortunately it's a paid program, if you're into paying for shit. It can also output to those mini-logitech lcds.
EDIT: I...
When I built my PC last year I had a much smaller budget. I went with a GTX 580 for the GPU and even though it accounted for half of what I wanted to spend I was happy that I did. I know you're not only gaming but if you go for say a Radeon 7970 (kind of hard to recommend a GTX 580 w/the small...
I've recently bought a Storm Spawn and I love it. The buttons are all great, it's light and feels like a glove. I also bought a steelseries 4H w/it. Coming from a cloth pad and a Razer Lachesis I've been adapting a bit over the last week. I'm confident once I'm totally used to the new setup I'll...
Someone posted about the FXAA blurriness on another forum I frequent so I enabled MSAA instead and the first time it loaded I was like, "holy shit, looks so much better!" I'm in the camp where the FXAA is really too blurry. It ruins beautifully rendered pixels. Also if I'm shooting non-scoped at...
I loved MW but wasn't gaming much when MW2 came out, so I never played it. When BO came out it coincided with me building a new PC so I bought it. I actually really enjoyed it, especially on my first run thru on MP. I play it once in a while now. Anyways, it's way better than a lot of games...
So for anyone who owns one of these drives please read this and update the firmware on your HDD because my drive f'd up and I don't want that to happen to anyone else
