    YaTT: got chewed out by chinese restaurant owner for not tipping on 4$ meal

    You didn't tip anything. I don't know what you expected. Maybe you expected them to just take it and not say anything like most places, but if it's some small chinese restaurant owned by a single family that should not be unexpected. You should tip atleast 10-15%, and if you can't then don't sit...

    New Mini-ITX Gaming Machine -- Will it Work?

    Your system at max load will use: gtx 760: 170W-200W(if you OC and raise the TDP through a bios flash, +voltage as well) i5-4670: maybe 150W max. I mean TDP is what 77W? That's with OC and + voltage. 450W is more than enough. Also if you go with a full ATX psu you absolutely cannot mount...

    New Mini-ITX Gaming Machine -- Will it Work?

    Get an SFX PSU. Even modular full size ones will make your life a nightmare. I've built one, it was still a massive pain the the included SFX.

    First mATX build, looking for comments

    I've done a build in an SG05 a few years ago and recently wanted a bit more power and did a mATX build in a SG09b. So we're really similar :). Anyway, SG09 wise, I agree with people on the cpu. Might as well get the k version and overclock it. You gain very little by going with the S version...

    GTX770 (stock) vs. GTX670 OC vs. HD7950 OC vs. GTX760 OC vs. GTX660Ti OC

    Ok well that's 1440p and [H] seems to require that it never drop below 30 fps. I can only say that I just played Metro LL at 1200p with everything maxed and sweetFX enabled on my OC'd 670. It was fine. The only slowdowns I remember were in 2 scenes near the game's ending. It seemed fine 99%...

    GTX770 (stock) vs. GTX670 OC vs. HD7950 OC vs. GTX760 OC vs. GTX660Ti OC

    Are you suggesting you need a titan to run max settings and physX in metro LL? wat.

    GTX770 (stock) vs. GTX670 OC vs. HD7950 OC vs. GTX760 OC vs. GTX660Ti OC

    I feel like you guys are missing a fact that has been stated in many anandtech video card reviews. That AMD and Nvidia don't compete directly with their cards. The launch prices of the 600,700, and 7000 series tell you that everything's a little offset. The 670 was priced more than the 7950 and...

    A new build - needs a case recommendation

    I recently just built a micro-atx system and the thing about most micro-atx cases is that I personally found them barely smaller than any ATX mid tower. They are still massive. The 350D and others especially so. I mean who really uses 5.25" bays anymore? Maybe that's just me but I haven't...

    670 Overclocks

    hmm maybe it's not on the 680 pcb. It doesn't have 2 fans. It's the reference blower. The only reason I think it's a 680 pcb is because it's full length and not shorter with the fan hanging off.

    Unigine Valley 1.0 Benchmark Thread ** Post your scores**

    I can hit 1280 at stock voltage with this card so I'm sure it's 1309. I know stahlwart hit 1350's with his MSI cards and I'm on a stock blower cooler. Anyway I'll look for the fix in the meantime.

    Unigine Valley 1.0 Benchmark Thread ** Post your scores**

    I'm pretty sure it was 1309 because if I furmark the GPU at my +20 offset taht's what it goes to. Mem is correct. that is done using gpu-z and setting the readings to max. Anyway, I would love to run it again, but after crashing my display drivers like 5x last night, even uninstalling and...

    670 Overclocks

    I have a reference Galaxy GC as well. I think it has the longer 680? pcb too though I don't remember and I don't feel like opening my case since it's a pain.

    670 Overclocks

    Oh I just ran across this but Unigine Valley actually drives my TDP to 100% at 70C so (200W). If I hadn't set the power target to 200W it would actually be TDP limited. I'm shocked it has a higher TDP than furmark but that's what I'm getting.
