PM me. There are deals pending, but it may work out just for the 290X. Thank-you. Both Video cards have been sold. Big thank-you to the buyers and to this great forum!

Updated: Everything has been sold. Thank-you very much! Gigabyte GTX 1070 Ti Gaming 8G OC - asking $550 shipped via Priority to an address in the USA. It's a rare 1 out of 25,000 factory overclocked GTX 1070 Tis in the world, and it was purchased from Amazon for a total of $550 on...

Have you considered that perhaps they are keeping their naming options open? . . . 565 ... 575 ... 585? :eek:

Not in this case. We have an *exception* OtW. You'll see. i was surprised (for a change) :cool: . . . and i better get back to benching ... :o

You will find out 'why', soon enough. :p

i just got that new ASUS VG278 for evaluation on Friday. It is $699 including the 3D Vision 2 glasses and built-in emitter. i also got a Viewsonic HD3D-ready 23" display (V3D231) from Viewsonic for evaluation also on Friday. i have 3xASUS 23 VG236 which were made last Summer. i am going to...

HD 3000 has 12 execution units. HD 2000 has 6 :p HD 2000 sux badly for anything resembling modern 3D gaming

Yes, they need to update CPU-Z i have i3-2105 with HD 3000 Graphics and i show the same error. Of course, HD 3000 is nothing to brag about - last column at 720p :o

i like them also. i am afraid however, that i will like the 27" better mainly because 3D is a better experience with a larger screen. And with more brightness .... :cool: And i am hoping that we see 3x2 3D Vision Surround before 3D Vision 3 -- or maybe AMD will attempt it with 3x2...

According to the web conference with Nvidia, the glasses will be interchangeable. Using LightBoost Glasses with 3D Vision (1) will actually give some image improvement .... i haven't got the new tech for evaluation yet ... probably because i took 5 months to play 80 games in 3D Vision with...

Some of you guys are good! http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=116466&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1617501&highlight= 3D Vision 2. Light boost for much brighter displays and larger glasses with some improvements with less crosstalk etc. -- best of all - i actually *guessed* in my article...

Well, not PhysX 2 More important, i think anyway, nice to see you again .. i have to get back to writing about it ;)

No, you are thinking in a completely wrong direction. Think of ALL that Nvidia does. And where it is going to be launched. And i am technically, Editor-in-Chief at ABT ;) EDIT: Where did anyone get the idea that anything would be "paper launched"? i am expecting a hard sample . . ...

You are all getting *COLD* now :P You need some hints? Think "________ 2" :D The sad part is that i need to write about it tonight and i am still working on Part 2 of my FX-8150 evaluation :o

You got part of it right .. it is definitely a "2" and not a "2.0" :eek:

AFaiK, the main purpose of these beta drivers is to fix 280.26 issues with the emitter not responding to it's manual depth settings in 3D Vision.

For more immersion, get two more matching 120Hz displays for 3D Vision Surround. - i have three 24" ASUS displays using GTX 580 SLI or GTX 590 and the only disadvantage is room - they require 6 feet of desktop space. 3x27" would be even more impressive. ;)

Which four? and what resolution? :rolleyes: As stated previously, GTX 570 will allow for a lot more AA and maxed out detail at 1920x1200 or higher than the GTX 280 And there is no practical change with MOST of the newer games. i have added Lost Planet 2, HAWX 2, F1 2010, GTA-IV, Metro 2033...

* Vantage (2008) * F.E.A.R. (2005) * Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (2008) * Unreal Tournament 3 (2008) * Call of Duty 4 (2007) * X3:Terran Conflict- (2008) * World-in-Conflict: Soviet Conflict - (2009) * Left4Dead (2008) * Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009) * Call of Juarez (2006) * Lost Planet (2007) *...

There is no such thing as "fully utilize" In the rare games that are *heavily* CPU dependent, the OP will still be able to max out his detail settings and add higher levels of AA with a GTX 570 that he cannot dream of with a GTX 280. To me that is worth the upgrade (and he can use his 280 for...

Old? A dozen of them are '08 or newer; more benches than most sites use in total for benching. * Vantage * F.E.A.R. * Enemy Territory: Quake Wars * Unreal Tournament 3 * Call of Duty 4 * X3:Terran Conflict * World-in-Conflict * Left4Dead * Batman: Arkham...

Did i check the link? RotFL i wrote it; did you check the author's name? ... maybe you should read the conclusions and look back at linked earlier articles that benched Phenom II against Penryn :cool: Look at it very carefully. Only a very few games practically benefit from Quad over Dual. -...

What a load of nonsense! Most of you are overstating the need for i5/i7 or a quad CPU -E8600 is fine for GTX 570 - especially at 3.7 GHz :p The only time you will have issues is in the rare game that does not run well on Dual core - even Phenom II X2 is fine with most games as this evaluation...

Because it is SO well-know as to be a definition from a wiki :p If you want my definition of bottleneck, you would have to read my evaluation. The OP's CPU will not be a bottleneck. :cool:

Do you want to debate semantics? A bottleneck in a computer is generally considered to be "a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or limited number of components or resources". Taking your narrow definition of bottleneck, we would also...

Even 3.2 GHz is not a bottleneck. i tested CPU bottlenecking with HD 5870 CF. Here is a review, Core i7 vs. Phenom II X2 vs. X4 scaling performance analysis, that covers Core i7-920 from 2.6 GHz to 3.2 and 3.6 GHz and compares them with Phenom X2 and X4

No CPU bottlenecking with even HD 5870 CF. Here is a review, Core i7 vs. Phenom II X2 vs. X4 scaling performance analysis, that covers Core i7-920 from 2.6 GHz to 3.2 and 3.6 GHz and compares them with Phenom X2 and X4

No problems. Beginning with the 260 drivers, the cards can keep their unique clocks and you can change them to match each other - up or down. Here is a review that does what you want to do but with a Galaxy SOC GTX 480 and a reference GTX 480

23 games; i wouldn't call them old; i test 7 DX11 games. How? i got no sleep for 4 days/nights :( Did anyone see this as the reason for Cayman's delay? http://www.chiphell.com/thread-148220-1-1.html http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=263668 The notches on the ones i got are...

Substantial i spent a lot of time benching GTX 280 vs. GTX 570 with the results here.

That is my point, you need to wait for the official launch and the reviews of any new product before you make up your mind about it. And as you all probably know, Nvidia isn't in a habit of releasing new product on the weekend; so, i thought i'd bring it up and save you all unnecessary stress...

Go back to sleep; or better, head out to a party! Nothing to see here tonight; create your own excitement is my suggestion. i wish i could (sort of) :)

i am a senior editor for AlienBabelTech and several of my recent reviews can be found on the main page including my Galaxy GT 430, GTX 480 SOC and GTS 450 reviews: http://alienbabeltech.com/main/?cat=3

According to Nvidia, it is better than using a 9800GT as a dedicated PhysX card when paired with a GTX 480. . . . i will explore.

Anand never has done any good IQ comparisons. The GT 430's IQ is as up to par as the other Fermi GPUs. i didn't study my Galaxy GT 430 IQ either, but i didn't catch anything out of the ordinary. i focus on gaming also and the card is a decent upgrade replacement for GT 220 imo. DVD playback...

You're right i am not psychic nor do i care to read your mind. That i why i asked for an explanation. i don't care to do any homework. You made the claim. i also didn't say that *all* x58 MBs have the issue that i posted a pic of. You have posted nothing resembling any kind of confirmation...

Nevermind that you are not smart enough to even be an idiot. i know for a *fact* in an X58 MB where the two cards are 1/4 inch apart and the top card is starved for air - it WILL overheat. i got no "proof" from you; just a claim saying that you are using 3 different ASUS cards in 3 different...

What does overheating have to do with it? :confused: If you put *any* two hot GTX 480s cards in SLI where the top card is starved for air, the top one always overheats - in that case, it is not a BIOS issue nor an issue of "playing well" together at all :p Now is this ASUS SLI BIOS "issue"...

You got something "verified" by more than one end user? :p ---"thermally out of control" means what? The top card got too hot If you really did try the new 260 drivers, you would see that each clock in SLI can be set independently of the other

Not wrong. Did you read what i read earlier? :p The *beta* (release candidate) 260 GeForce drivers allow for much more mixing and matching than ever before - even to keeping each card's original clocks in SLI (if they are different). Did you use the 260 drivers?
