  1. They both would provide similar performance, but the slim wins because even at full speed the noise to negligible. Also that 30$ is an awesome deal, you can get a 212evo with that and it won't perform as well. Then again, I am biased towards be quiet!
  2. If silence is your thing, the slim rock is a must get. You could get the d92 and change the fans. Also the slim rock looks better IMO. But looks are subjective
  3. If its set up that way, I would think the Heat coming from the GPU would affect it (cus heat floats up) and the fans would be set up as Pushing or pulling the Air up. I just ordered the Heat sink too, but I guess if you have trouble setting it up you can find an assistant (with small hand preferably) . But if you have enough Intake it shouldn't be that big of a problem on the performance.
  4. To the people that gets noises from their GPU, I would RMA it if I were you, becausr these are physical hardware issues that rming would be a much easier solution then fixing. If it was a software issue then its a different story.
  5. If its rendering and folding the titan should do a better job vs the 980 I think. Need someone to back me up on this doe.
  6. Nvidia only manufacture the chip and PCB design. They send it out to other companies to make the reference card. You just don't see the other companies branding on the box.
  7. Well, one is a blower style, and the other is an open air. Open air coolers general have lower temps and its quieter because the fans don't have ramp up to cool the card
  8. I would think the Asus and the MSI cards would be queter , cus its 4 fans vs 6. But by raw stats, and stuff I heard about the G1 I think that set is the better choice of the 3 for SLI
  9. The highest end card they have at mine is a nvidia gt 9600. o-o
  10. I would assume that, unless there's a modded drive like the ones you can use, so you can have a dedicated phys-x card and an AMD card.
  11. I use those DVI - HDMI adapters for my HDMI monitors. Also remember that DVI is the same as HDMI, just HDMI carries sound signals too.
  12. Assuming power consumption and heat is not a problem
  13. I would think they cool the same, just get the one thats cheaper, or looks better to you.
  14. TBH any non reference AMD is better the reference
  15. Are you okay with mail in rebates? http://www.ncix.com/detail/xfx-radeon-hd-r9-280x-ff-91053-1029.htm We do have this R9 280x on for 249.99. Its a 30$ rebate doe. If rebates are not your thing, then this http://www.ncix.com/detail/gigabyte-radeon-r9-280-oc-0b-98788-1029.htm should be more of your budget. $240-ish after tax.
  16. Before or after tax, that 13 percent can really mess your budget up.
  17. He needs the prices in Canadian dollars doe, and the cheapest one i can find is on NCIX, 256.99. But they all need MIR, which I hate with a passion.
  18. Nvidia: GTX 770 on sale AMD: R9 290 Brands: Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, EVGA (Nvidia only) And coil whine is all bout lottery, but some companies allows RMA of Coil whining cards.
  19. I would get at least a 550-650w PSU for the high end cards. And they have to be Certified ones too, not some no-name sketch brand.
  20. He did say an AMD GPU lol, I would wait for the new RX 3XX series to come out, but if you really want to you can get any Single AMD GPU. IF you want to crossfire consider a higher end CPU so it wont bottleneck.
  21. At stock, they both perform the same, but later on when you want to overclock and overvolt, the Asus one will do a better job, cus larger heat sink and 2 fans
