i might have gotten the classified if antec hadn't skimped with the pci-e 8 pin power connectors on my otherwise lovely sig 650, but i hope the number of pcb layers or anything like that hasnt been secretly reduced.
im going to take advantage of the temp option in Precision X, limiting it to no higher than 65 C (70 C is too close to the threshold of 86C and it will already be overkill).
im going to continue to be pissed with the drivers, but im hopeful that one day they'll be opensource and more customizable... nvidia puts in zero effort to their drivers (other than optimizations to boost performance often at a subtle expense in image quality) although microsoft limits nvidia's drivers in some ways so i cant blame nvidia for everything.
ill be gaming at 1600x900 (or using gpu centering to lower res if the game doesnt support 16:9 AR) RGB8 75 Hz, normal vsync usually, 73 fps cap, 1 max frame rendered ahead, HQ filtering, forcing 4x SGSSAA where it works, and usually no AF,. im hopeful for more opengl games and more custom SGSSAA bits for DX11 games because i dont play games with fxaa or games with lousy in-game aa only... application TXAA is okay though and is second best to driver forced SGSSAA imo. all in game settings other than res, af, and aa will be set to max in-game quality because i dont play unless all other in game features (examples include but are not limited to physics and things like water simulation) are at their highest quality, at anything but the highest shader, render target/blending, and depth buffer precision supported by the app, highest texture quality (unless the lower quality setting is for smaller uncompressed textures), and all special effects on and at their highest quality (except maybe depth of field and maybe motion blur which are usually okay off)... i have weird preferences i guess since the first thing im willing to not have is super high number of pixels per inch, while that's the first thing most people want.
i would be keeping my 660 ti, but it doesnt have the compute features, double precision, and the fact that it only has 24 rops and a 192 bit memory bus may not get 30fps in such apps as crysis 3 even at the settings i like.
i have weird or retarded preferences, dont i?

not only does it have crippled dp, it runs it at a pretty high voltage... 1.162v with 2/3 power target linked to 64 C temp target. somehow it goes up to 992 MHz.
