Good idea! Thank you Do you think spray paint is conductive in any way, if I was to spray paint the card into black color?

As all of us know many cards have those annoying sharp spikes on PCIe card (where there is no backplate. Can I grind them down, or wire cutter them off? I want to create a custom backplate, and that will help me as well. They are very sharp on my card (unlike in this picture) It is not a gpu...

^Thanks

Thanks for responses guys, I can see some ways I can drill my bays to accommodate the Gigabyte G1 in there. So I think I will go with that one once I mod Is there any other cards that overclock like a beast compared to Gigabyte G1? Are the fans quiet on Gigabyte G1?

Hey, guys I'm looking for some specific things in GTX 980 1) Ability to overclock as much as I can (preferably to 1500 mhz or higher) 2) Card clearance of 12 inches in length max , max height of 5.80 inches (or 6" for simplicity). Judging from Asus R9 290 4GB that barely fit in height. 3)...

Hey, guys I will be starting an internet business selling computer components, and one of which will be GPUs. My goal is to keep the price below NewEgg first of all. My question to you is which brands of NVIDIA or AMD Graphics Cards do you trust personally and why? I'm looking to buy a...

To give you guys some interesting info. When I ran R9 290 versus my 7950 on Battlefield 4, at times I saw 10 FPS above with 290 on the minimum FPS of around 70, but I noticed 7950 maintaining higher FPS overall, and having dips to 57-60 FPS at most. Yet 7950 maintained higher FPS at the SAME...

Found this thread looking for something else, so Romeodakins if you are still looking for a solution. My honest opinion you will be better off buying a AMD FX (6-core) for 3 reasons: 1) APU is lower rated AMD processor compared to FX. Even with 4 core at the same speed you will get better FPS...

Also added a link to an Ebay (fixed price) listing, if you are more comfortable going that route. Either way is fine with me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171138603024?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I'm selling my GTX 550 TI (Overclocked edittion) by Gigabyte. This card is pretty awesome in my opinion still by our standards. I ran Bioshock 1, and Bioshock 2 MAXED OUT, Easily running Crysis 1 and Crysis 2, Assassins Creed III, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Far Cry...
