I hear you but I'm just not sure there's a reason to right now. Is there anything out right now that the two Classifieds can't handle with ease at highest settings?

But then, there is the epeen.

Exactly, epeen. I'm they're too. I want a new card but for gaming at 1080 my 7870 gets it done.

Nice. I'm going to inherit my wife's nexus 4 when she gets the nexus 5 in December.

I also got my H60 back from RMA after a month and a half... They sent me a brand new unit. I had only sent them back the cooler, and they sent me back a brand new sealed one. I also had an older model one, and they gave me the newest one

This is a steal even with the new cards about to drop IMO. $267.99 after everything.

Anyone have any experience with vmware and virtualization in general?
A guy on my tech board just got a new job making close to 200k and he's got just under 3 years experience in IT. Does have his vcap though.

you dick. I was just looking at both of those. Question though, the note is 5.9 inches so why get the nexus7? seems like they would have some serious overlap.
let me know what you think of the note UI. I was considering note, moto x, and htc one.

The note is on eBay Right now so I won't be opening it. The other box is the nexus 4, which is what I'll be using instead.

I just read a chapter on virtualization but that's about it.

I'm not even thinking about a processor upgrade right now. It seems pointless to me.

However, my video issues have reappeared. The computer just shuts down and then reboots showing that both video cards have reported a problem. Right now I'm typing this in VGA mode. I'm going to get in contact with EVGA and see if there is anything they will do. I've invested a lot in the configuration (2 EVGA 680 GTX Classifieds, 2 backplates and two hydro setups) to the tune of about $1800.00. They need to either get stable cards to me or figure something out that will make me happy.

ETA: I removed one card and so far so good. But, I purchased two cards to run SLI so I am still not a happy camper.

You think it could be the motherboard?

It could be. That would suck. I really don't want to buy another 1155 motherboard.

Antivirus has been discussed on here so I thought I should post this. Microsoft is recommending people use security essentials with a 3rd party program and not to rely on MSE alone.

Bruce, can you test what kind of frame rates a single 7950 gets in bf3? I may get a single 7970 now while they're so cheap and start working on my loop

I was testing framerates with a single card and BF4 as well, because the beta is not good with crossfire. At stock clocks (1050/1375) and 1440p, I was getting 50fps average with everything maxed out (but MSAA off). I overclocked my card to my usual clocks (1200/1650) and got consistently over 60.
