[Rockdpm]

To me its kinda dumb. I think its just a he ha joke inside EA. Crysis 3 is gonna have a German Narrator next time giving the orders.. i hope its either another Jungle map or a free roam city. because Linear maps for a story.....really?

i loved the crossbow in rage, would go all medieval on their ass!
with my $10 POS mouse can't really aim all that great and ran out of the bolts all the time though 🙁

it does look a little "tropical"

"maximum sunblock/insect repellent"

 

[Rockdpm]

BF3 Expansion

Stupid question:

Can one SLI a 680 2gb with a 680 4 gb?

 

[Ironwilly]

Yes, but there would be absolutely no gain because one of the cards is limited to 2gb. There would be no advantage of adding the 4gb card over a 2gb. Just like with overclocking, SLI takes the lesser of the two cards values.

 

[licktheenvelope]

Makes sense, thanks IW.

 

[renz496]

Well what i don't get is, where is the rest of the Non reference 680's?, only MSI has released a twin frozr edition... thats it. And the Overclocked ones from EVGA sorta count but not really they are still reference designs...

i read some where that the PCB still reference. they just swap the reference cooler to their own one

 

[Rockdpm]

Makes sense.... But when are they gonna release them. its been almost a month since release date

 

[lostcard]

just found something "maybe"

[Rockdpm]

Apparently ASUS, and all the partners are not very PR.... not feeding the public much info about their cards.

 

[bardacuda]

It's not looking good for availability any time soon...

[Rockdpm]

Damn, if Samsung doesn't do bad on 28nm hmm.... I might just jump on Kepler... but if not.... NVIDIA made a dumb move cutting off their production of GTX 580...

Sounds like their only option may be to re-brand kepler and update the performance a bit... This rather sadens me, NVIDIA is my favorite company right now but if they don't roll out any new stuff....I will be forced to buy a 680... The current most rarest gpu on the market

In my honest opinion, NVIDIA needs to stick to one Process company and stick with it. TSMC seems to have failed all their customers and then when everyone starts leaving they finally throw out some doe to fix the problem.

... And Adaptive VSync:

very nice feature indeed. currently playing dead space 2 with adaptive v-sync enabled. so far it working well fro the game.

 

[Rockdpm]

Yea i have noticed better smoothness with the new Vsync feature
