    760 Sli or 780/770.

    Thanks to a series of unfortunate events, I need a gpu upgrade. I'm considering 760 sli 4gb. I hear and read a lot about the downsides of SLI but is it really so. I'm the kind of guy who plays a hand full of games for years. The last few, I've been playing Natural Selection 2 religiously and the...

    upgrad my gtx titan?

    Nvidia does tend to be uptight about what can SLI with what. I cant help but question if it would even allow you to SLI. If the shop offers returns for cash and not store credit then I cant see why not. However, you may be far better off with just getting another titan seeing how the titan black...

    Is my graphics card about to die? (Update: RMA woes, excess solder on back of card?)

    Is it possible that when you had the card overclocked, the vrm passed 90 and u started getting some weird semi lingering artifacts? I would keep an eye on it but I'm sure your card will be fine. I have the worst luck haha. My card didn't have the luxury, the vrm was impossible to monitor. I did...

    Is my graphics card about to die? (Update: RMA woes, excess solder on back of card?)

    No need for the condescending attitude. I further explained my reasoning a few posts above. Perhaps the pcb was of lower quality, perhaps the solder. when my power blacked out my card wasn't a paper weight. it kept going for another month without much issue. Further more, I really have no...

    I thought I was fine but it came back with vengeance. Looking back on it now. I wish I would have downlocked everything down 100mhz and maybe It would still be alive. Ahhhhhhhhhh rip my sweet.

    I'm from fallv river and we so are lol. I've converted a few friends and built gaming pc's for them. It's true that could of happened with any card but in ny unbiased oppinion.

    How much do you tip at a Buffet?

    I can tell you first hand that no one ever tips at a buffet. I worked at one for 14 months. -People let kids get food even though they break plates every time, play tag and spill food all over the floor and counter. -People who go to Buffets are old and lost some taste buds, own guns, love...

    Spicy hottest thing you've tried, heard of etc.?

    I lost a bet once when I was 15 and ate a habanero pepper. The following hours made sure I never lost again. I'm sweating just thinking about it. You know that feeling when you accidentally touch a hot pan and your hand blisters? ya, its much worst then that lol.

    white man / black woman couples

    While Black men are typicality seen as attractive to the ladies. Black woman with features such as wider nose, curly hair ect... aren't. I guess our culture associates stronger facial features with men. I think that would have a lot to do with it. However, I will say that here in New England, we...
