That's a bummer to hear since that is where I was going to order it from. Newegg's price is more expensive than everyone else, and I've never ordered from Provantage or B&H so I don't have any experience with dealing with them.

Thanks for the info! That's great to hear there is a 100Hz option. It seems like I won't have to change any settings around except to cap my framerate at 100 instead of 60. I'm not overly concerned with lag unless it is really bad. I won't even notice the difference in lag between having the...

Can any owners tell me how well this monitor handles framerates in the 90-120 range? With my 60Hz monitor, I'll set the settings in games to run around this level, then set a framerate cap at 60 so more often than not I'm maintaining a solid 60. When I do get dips in the 50's and even the high...

Thanks for the info! I figured it would be hard to find a buyer for my old fans so I probably won't upgrade all the fans unless I find a really great price somewhere. I think I might upgrade just one fan and put it under the videocard to see if I can make my 470 even quieter, then mod my old...

I got my black FT02 without a window from Amazon over the weekend and it did not have the AP181's installed. I was thinking about refusing the shipment and waiting some more to get one with AP181's, but I was so excited to have it at my house and finally being able to get rid of my 5 year old...

It's nice to hear Amazon is shipping these with the AP181's installed. Which FT02 specifically did you get that came with the AP181's? I was going to buy a black one with no window, but I was going to hold out a bit longer to make sure I get the new fans. If you bought the black one with no...

You shouldn't ride the metro because you will pay no toll and they will get no rolls.

Yeah, I would only end up doing this if I got a decent amount of money for my 470, but I don't really have an idea how much I could get for it. And I didn't even think about aftermarket cooling for the 470. I'll have to look around and see if there is anything out there for a decent price...

Right now, I have a Gigabyte GTX 470 with stock clocks. I think the card is great and it is treating me well, but the heat and noise it puts out is a little bothersome sometimes. I often play games pretty quietly so I don't wake other people in my house, and when I do I can hear the fan for...

Hmm it seems like the GTX 470 would be the better fit for me. I currently have a 4850 and I remember how much of a pain it was to get AA working in Mass Effect. I will be getting Bioshock 2 as soon as there is a good deal on it and I'm guessing AA will be much simpler with the 470.

Bitstreaming would be nice if I needed to watch dvd's and bluray's on this PC but since I have a few bluray players already to watch movies with, I probably won't need to watch any pre-encoded 5.1 audio streams with this card. All I am interested in is whether either card supports Dolby Digital...

I'm looking to buy either the Asus 5850 DirectCU or the Asus GTX 470 and I have a few questions I hope I can get help with. I would really like to use SSAA on older games such as Source games, Star Wars: KOTOR, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, etc. Are there any limitations to the SSAA modes on...
