I built this back in 2012 and had meaning to take some pics of this for a while but never got around to it. This was my first attempt at a case mod. Way back when, Fractal showed off it's Arc series and Gainward showed off it's Phantom cooler around the same time. I saw that the Arc had a...
I had a great time! It seems a lot bigger than last time, with much more stuff to check out, which was awesome. I really liked maingear's stuff, the way they designed their systems seemed very thought out.
The only thing I liked better at the last event was the raffle system. At the previous...
You might try looking for reviews of the gainward 3gb 580gtx's. palit is gainward's parent company, so they likely use the same hardware (except the phantom cooler seems to be gainward only :( ). As far as reviews for the palit specific card, Vega had 4 of them running in 4 way SLI. You could...
I went the 3x 3GB GTX580 route. I've been playing the beta at 2560x1600 and I've seen my VRAM go a little over 2GB with everything on ultra. From what I've heard some of the ultra settings aren't even working in the beta, so it could go up even more.

i prefer non-reference designs :p, they are normally equally as good or better quality.
cards that arent external exhaust arent really a problem with modern cases with decent airflow, I tend to stay away from external exhaust cards because they can sound like leaf blowers under load.
that...
I think the image link he posted was of a galaxy razor gtx 260 which had tri sli support. I imagine that these cards will just have one finger that cant be seen from the images on newegg.

cool stuff! i wonder how hot they get?
I picked up a killer nic a while back, and while it isn't necessary by any means, the feature I like most about it is that i can prioritize games above other apps running in the background. for example, you don't have to worry about turning off bittorrent before you game. The only complaint I...
