Posting a full system spec of your Computer would help. To get us started on what we are working with.

Just got myself a Gtx 660 Ti, all I need now is an i7 and some more ram.

ThePurv · January 2013

So I have money left over from the IPS that my job gives out end of the year.

I have been thinking about getting a new GPU.

I currently have 2 x EVGA GTX570 in SLI of course

I considering getting 2x GTX680's
or
just one GTX690

Going off this, I'd vote the GTX690.

Though I think the cost is justified in only rare circumstances.

Also, what does IPS stand for in this context?

IPS = In Store Profit Sharing

I have looked at reviews and such but im still not certain.

The 690 is just 2 680's in one card which is really nice, cheaper, and one card is cooler and quieter then two 680's.

Ask lobster. He is running either two 680's or two 690's can't remember which.

Who in the right mind would run two 690's?

Wanna run 4 games of Crysis at once?

If I had money I would.

Or two 7970's.

I can run multiple games on my 6850. Alt tabbing back and forth.

Well one 690 is cheaper, quiter, and cooler than 2 680's.

Lol. Just asked Lobster. He has 3 690's. :eek:

I'd DEFINITIVELY go for 1 690.
the performance, I'll admit, is the same. but let's look at it this way.
the SLi is not 100% compatible with every game.
the GTX690's performance (compared to 2 SLi GTX 680) is down to a 2-4% performance difference.
2 SLi 680 would be noisy/heat up more.
the 690's frame metering is smoother. it's hard to explain but the framerate won't drop down and go up whenever it feels like - the 690 is able to keep it at a stable rate.
the 690's overclocking ceiling is very high.
the 690 has a lot less micro stutter.

also, if you're planning for the future, doing 2 SLi GTX 690 (or even 4-SLi which is what I'm planning atm, getting the money for it) is a lot more effective than 2 SLi GTX 680.

then again, 2 SLi GTX 680s looks cooler in a case. fit to what you like.

Tax returns this month, building a pc. This time it will happen, I have no choice, I'm going to college. Someone wanna hook me up with some lists?

Limit is one grand, but I would also like something under 800 just in case. (I need to buy a new phone as well as a car).

When I take a screenshot of something like my desktop, where can I find that image?

With Print Screen? Its copied to your clipboard. So then go to Ex: Paint. Hit paste. Blam. There it is.

Only way I ever get SS's to save is via Fraps hotkey which then saves under your Fraps folder Screenshots.

Also found this: You can launch c:\windows\system32\clipbrd.exe which will show you what is currently stored and allows you to save it.

Thank You.

Whenever I plug in my earbuds during a game, any game, the sound stops working.

Even after I unplug them the sounds won't work until I exit the game.

Yes, my drivers are up to date.

Try plugging it in before you load CF.

Plugging it in before works, it's just that sometimes I need to plug in mid game and it can get very bothersome.

CFShu · January 2013

Just start making it a habit to plug in before you load it then.

Before I do that I want to know if there's a solution.

I'd rather avoid it if I can.

Just CF or everything? If just CF. Blame the terrible code.

also

"steam games"

you have looked at the vast differences between games on steam?

There are indie games my 10 yr old pc could run.

Or FPS games that take a decent modern build to run...

try being a bit more specific...

Regards cf, yes, it could run it easily.
