I've spent several days reading really long threads in audiophile forums, and the assessments of different equipment is just all over the place. I don't think I've encountered any technological topic with more conflicting advice.

Dude you won't, "for most areas".

Every person's ear is different. Some things dont have "technical" data to back them up, and shouldn't.

I do. I just got off steam a minute ago but I'll hit you up soon. I couldn't decide what to pay tonight so I did a mission in borderlands, played some bioshock infinite clash in the clouds, and knocked out some ac4.

I had been so dissappointed in the Autumn's and beginning of this Holiday's SteamSales for lack of content; but that has changed. IDK if I just felt like gaming so started buying everything which went on sale, but I really purchased a ton of games and DLC this last week.

The GF and I started playing through Alan Wake series. I barely remember the game on Xbox and she an advent book reader, so this should be fun. She doesnt game an actually hates it, but loves a good story. I got her to play with me Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us and now the Alan Wake series. Those games are perfect for bedroom/living room gaming, really makes great use of my HTPCs.

She won't even play Mario, it is too much like a "video game" for her. She does like Mario Party, loves it actually... because it is more like a board game I guess.

The only reason she played The Walking Dead and A Wolf Among Us was for the stories. Those games are just the 21st Centuries Pop-Up Books .

I tried getting her to play LEGO Marvel Heroes with me and she also got bored. However she did buy my several 3DS games for "stocking stuffers" and 2 of the games had been LEGO games; Batman and the other Star Wars.

What about those fans Gardoki? I'm about to run by Office Depot and ship stuff out right now.

I just messaged you on steam a minute ago. Speaking of Lego games, I know they were never great but I do feel the quality of them has gone down.

frick it. I just ordered a 780 ti Classified from EVGA. I can sell the 680s and water cooling stuff to either fund this one or a Classified X 2 setup with 780 ti.

I'm only going to live once, goddammit.

Yeah, you better get 2 of them or else you're just downgrading graphics. That's what has been keeping me from trying out any of the new cards. When I upgrade, I would prefer a single card solution that would out-perform my crossfire 7970s, and it just doesn't exist yet, let alone by a significant margin.

Plus, I'm still making money mining. Earned about 1.3 BTC in the last month.

They are only $800 and why wouldn't you purchase Classys over vanilla Tis anyway? They are only $100 more.

Gratz and lets see some benches!

Yeah I surely hope so. The GK110 chips are becoming boring. Maxwell being on the horizon is what kept me away from the custom PCB TIs, wasn't going to wait on that.

I have a feeling ILikeLSUToo might find his 1 card solution some wheres in a Maxwell card. =)

All 3 cards still firing off 24/7?

I have been thinking about selling my third TI for an older XFX/Powercooler 290 to try and unlock to a 290X and start mining. Will put it in my iTX Impact/4670K HTPC. I haven't used that thing much lately.

Yeah, except I only mine with 2 if I feel like gaming.

You can watch my miners in real-time, as least until I stop using this particular pool: LINK
