umm...ok this cooler is a freaking beast. I have less than 1/8 inch of room left between the cooler and the sidepanel. Good news is, I used to idle at 42C, now I'm idling at 24C - 26C. :D

That's also the same reason why they didn't bench Metro 2033 in DX11 :p

because if Rob had put AA on, the framerates would be so bad it would make the game unplayable at max res for Metro 2033. He probably wanted each res test to be consistent with the last (detail-wise). And as for SCII, I don't know. lol.

Well, someone in the clan I'm involved with had a comment about this. He looked at the specs in your test system, and it's ultra high-end. He thinks that most games can't utilize 2GB of VRAM, and combine that with how much RAM you have (I think 8GB), he thinks the GPU might be the bottleneck in...

or it could be that the 2GB has more memory sectors to render, and it makes it slightly slower.

O_O jeez. that's ridiculous

hmm...wow. That's really odd. That reminds me I need to get 11.1a. Don't have the hotfix yet. I read it gives a ~40% fps boost in Metro 2033

what the heck is up with that?? the 1GB version beats the 2GB?? Maybe you should try re-benching the 2GB 6950 with the new 11.1 catalyst to see if the results change? That makes no sense to me...

alright, bought the hyper 212+, some thermal paste, and 2 CM 120mm case fans. I'll get more fans later on. should be here tomorrow or tuesday

The problem here is not the games, it's the idiots who can't differentiate between a game and reality and try to bridge the two, resulting in "madmen" created from games. I blame mentally unstable people, not the games.

DUDE. Metro 2033 28% increase?? HECK YEAH

You had fps issues in Black Ops?? I run it maxed out no prob at 70 fps (vsync). Turn vsync off and it would go up to 120.

ok, so I just downloaded the beta 10 and fired it up. DANG the difference is phenomenal as compared to 3.6. Pages load nearly INSTANTLY and it looks so much like Chrome (BIG plus because I LOVE Chrome's look). And I can tell it uses GPU acceleration...due to the fact that when I have it open...

I just uninstall the one I don't want, then install the next one. I had MAJOR issues with 10.12..it cut my fps more than in HALF. I would get 30 fps in a game I would normally get 70-100 in. 11.1 works perfect for me, and all I did was download it, uninstall 10.11 then install 11.1 and it works...

oooooh sweet!

That's why eunoia said performance gaming systems get louder under GPU load. When I go ingame, I REALLY hear my 6870 fan ramp up. I'm guessing the SPCR edition PC has lower-end quieter GPU's in it, which wouldn't be very good for a gamer looking for extreme performance, but would be perfect for...

If you reinstalled WIn7 and it STILL is giving you BSoD...sounds like your hard drive is going bad.

All the techies will appreciate this...:p Tim Hawkins is HILARIOUS <iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TkLq1j1kOaU" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe> and... <iframe title="YouTube...

Well, there are still A TON of shows/movies that aren't available to stream, so I don't know what they should do really.
