The world of GPUs according to Unknown-One. Jan 9, 2012 AMD releases the base 7970 "Omg, it took AMD 13 months to beat a GTX580." Mar 22, 2012 NVidia releases GTX 680, 2 months after 7970 released "NVidia is the greatest! It beats the 7970 in performance, price, and good looks!" Jun...

My 20-30-20 PLP connected to a 5.1 home theater speaker setup.

Galaxy GPUs are cosmic, with solid cooling and beautiful designs.

Best performance on the market. Gotta love the Tahiti!

From launch drivers to Catalyst 12.10, I've never had a crashing issue with my overclock 1125/1575 @ 1.125V. I've started to experience consistent crashes in the Witcher 2 with these 12.11 Beta 8 drivers. So far, it seems stable at 1100/1550 @ 1.125V, but I'll have to do some more testing.

Thanks so much for the response! I've purchased the ASUS Xonar DSX, which comes with 4 line-out outputs: front, rear, center, sub. It looks like I'll need to buy 4 of those 3.5mm to RCA cables, using only one RCA connection for the center and one for the sub, and connect to the external decoder...

It looks like I'd have to go with a ASUS Xonar DSX, or the Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D THX PCIE Sound Card SB1350. Both these cards are in the $50 range. I'm leaning more towards the Recon3D, than the DSX.

This thread isn't about your happiness with a new product. The moment you titled the post "AMD v. Nvidia," people come into the thread with guns ready. What else do you expect with a title like that? Then we get to your original post. You claim that Company X has better _____ than Company Y...

I rarely game with headphones on, so it sounds like I should skip the sound card and invest that money towards the speaker/amp/subs. I'll continue doing research this weekend. All the suggestions are super helpful, thanks everyone!

Great, thanks for the advice. I can live with my onboard audio, I just figured having a sound card could improve the experience when I finally do get home theater speakers. I've been following the other recent threads on [H] about speaker. They focus primarily on the speakers, and not...

Hi, I'm looking to finally upgrade the sound on my PC from onboard audio. I currently have an old Logitec x530 5.1 speaker system. However, I plan to eventually get some quality speakers that one would find in a home theater system. I'd like a sound card that supports both the a 5.1 computer...

Where did you get that desk? I've been looking for an L-shaped desk with a large keyboard tray.
