Use 8, no problems with it other than some metro apps are just buggy as shit. Prefer it over 7 and waiting for 8.1

70-100 hovers around 90ish. Update stopped the random crashes and gave a big FPS boost, runs real smooth, more than any other game. The only thing is map loading takes 2-3minutes with normally only a few seconds before the spawn timer hits zero.

this plus GTX770. AMD has fixed pacing issues and BF4 will use mantle, pays to wait a couple of months and see the new R series benchmarks.

I'm never dipping under 60FPS, hovering around 80, the load tines are fine.
Gameplay wise it feels like BF3, just a tad faster and smoother with some small gameplay updates. Missing that addictiveness though completely.

I'm not, I can tell the difference between 128Kb/s and 160Kb/s in a DBT.

*cough*Mp3*cough* It's fine if its transcoded properly and the bitrate isn't below 160Kbps, CDs are lossless though.

Not a big fan of OC anymore. Prefer the stability than an extra 5%.
As I run a lot of adobe creative cloud apps and if I do play games it is BF it looks like the 660ti is the winner.
Cheers to those that replied. 5% maybe with nVidia cards but with the 7850 I've been getting an extra 40%ish performance increase. The 670 is probably what you're after but you have to go over your budget and the GHz edition of the 7950 does rival it. Spend based on budget, the differences aren't huge and you won't notice any difference until you start gaming. EDIT:The best card for $500 http://www.playtech.co.nz/afawcs0139235/CATID=757/ID=19003/SID=272154741/productdetails.html

With slingshot ATM, going to try it out and report back with findings.

Get the Asus 7850 for $320 it overclocks to over a GHz normally (most people between 1.1-1.3), it supports the triple monitor setup and it will rival the 660ti in terms of performance when it is OCed. It depends on which games you want to play though, some play nicer with camp green such as BF3. The 660tis are normally around $470, but could be worth it if you only play BF3 and don't want to wait for AMD to finish fixing their stuttering issues which to their credit they have been working on and should be finished with by end of Julyish.
The 660 is also capable of running three monitors but is outperformed by the 7850, costs about $30 more and AMD is just all round better at surround setups because they did it before nVidia.

Look at the closed loops with the thin rad and slim fans, those would easily get you to 4GHz and take a minimal amount of space. Just in general a good idea to get low profile stuff with a mini-ITX build, look at graphic cards with a two slot centrifuge, they are louder but they have a predictable airflow direction and are normally two slots instead of an open GPU cooler which are normally 2.5-3 slots. EDIT: If you have the cash http://www.playtech.co.nz/afawcs0139235/CATID=875/ID=20635/SID=150535250/productdetails.htmlIt is a mix of coolers but it has one of the highest size:performance ratio

Also the 98 in his user name could be referencing to the year he was born (1998) which would line up with him being 15.

Get those elongated tweezers for picking up screws, extremely useful. Don't try to jam things in too hard either and end up breaking ports, there are a lot of fail pics of that.

See if you can get the Asus 7850s, they can get up to 7950 performance when OCed. Asus was lazy and just stuck a full size two slot DCII cooler on them, I have one and have gone from stock clocks of 860/1200 to 1350/1500 on my better card.
EDIT: If you can't get the first version because of the price the V2 will do fine, it just seems the first gen were able to reach higher clocks and the second gen stays cooler. There was also a slight change in the ports.

Pick up any other android phone with a graphic EQ, make a V shape with it and listen to music on it. All the beats audio is really doing when it is on is turning on an EQ profile that hilights the interesting frequencies. When beats audio is off it does the reverse EQ profile and makes a ^ shaped EQ, turning down the less the interesting frequencies and hilighting the more 'boring' ones.
There is some good features with the hardware of the beats audio but the difference it makes is small. There is also some placebo in turning beats audio '"ON", get some people help you do a DBT with a google edition ROM HTC One and another phone both with no EQ.

I have never had to through and enable it, it was always enabled. I checked with someone's else's as well, could also have been enabled in by default in iOS5 and the setting carried over into 6 where normally it is disabled. Who the hell uses Apple's email service anyway?
