I'm also the slow and steady type of gamer that likes to pay attention to detail... which makes this worse. But it's a good kind of "worse" at least - it could be actual homework, although my homework days are behind me. I'm kind of in a limbo state right now. Residency for internal medicine...

After the steam Christmas sale, I have so many games to play it feels like homework.

Fox won't even let you watch its online content if you use cablevision as your internet service provider. Hulu won't display fox material to cablevision subscribers either. However, just use a proxy to watch fox content. Hulu doesn't let you do this for some reason, but I was able to watch a...

Thanks for the input. I went with the MSI 470 for $259. It comes with Metro 2033, and another free game (resident evil 5, street fighter IV, or dark void), as well as a week trial of SC2. OCing it should get me close to 480 performance. I have good airflow in my case and low ambient temps so...

Windows 7, possibly flash 10.1, cured all of my hulu stuttering issues on my laptop

not another one of these...

I agree with Udgnim - the 470 is fail right now

if heat is your concern, I haven't seen any issues regarding the 470 from people who got their cards early

It seems as if temperatures have been less of an issue with the few people that have received their cards early. The highest temp I saw was 85C while overclocking and benchmarking furmark. The tradeoff for these people is many of them run their fans at 100%, but they say the noise is not as...

OVER 9000!?!?!?!

I especially like the way the light changes color as it reflects off of different objects of different colors - very neat

I think the focus is more on the lighting effects they demonstrate in the videos in the link, which does seem pretty cool.

take dramamine or have gingerale about 1hr before playing - should make it bearable
