  1. That's both your whole Steam library and your favorite game. :)

    naw i have other games like plague inc and JC2 skyrim city skylines...etc if my favorite game was by the amount of played time its skyrim by far i mean like close to 200 hours on the game according to steam

  2. I live in northern Michigan, so id actually welcome the extra heat 8 months out of the year, although im skeptical it would raise the ambient temps in a room to a noticeable degree, Ive read its kind of an urban legend that even the hottest running cards in SLI/crossfire are capable of that. I guess if you game in a tiny room with no ventilation it might be possible.

    Florida i typically turn on a fan and point it out the door(plus my ceiling fan on high) when i do 4hr+ gaming sessions not exactly my fault my room is small either playing bf3 with 64 player maps seems to make it the hottest and actually right now due to some of the heat were having down here i have one card sitting back in the box

     

  3. Is it worth $45 counting the free games for 850w barely being enough and turning your room into a fireplace I guess this card is a beast. AMD is in a rough spot.

    99W my build uses 751W and their not OC'ed either it is a good card well worth the extra youll pay for it wont be freaking so hot

  4. There is one difference.

     

    The 295x2 comes with a warrantied pre installed liquid cooling set up that keeps the card cooler than any air cooled SLI/crossfire set up and expels it outside of your case. Which is why Im confused over why people keep bringing up heat as a criticism of the 295x2. If anything temperatures are its strong point. Power draw admittedly sucks, but heat is a non issue.

    sure the gpu temps are fine but it being liquid cooled means its going to be kicking more heat into the space your in not sure about how your living but my room is small something like 13x13 sq ft when a card like this is on in a room this small things tend to heat up to the 70-80 degree range which is lovely in the winter not so in blazing summer heat

  5. look here dude i have 2 r9 290s and while a scaled down version of the r9 290x they are power hungry cards and not only that they also produce a lot of heat in a very short amount of time(great for winter days believe me just turn on your pc and wait awhile for your room to be toasty) Nvidias cards run cooler than amd's cards however, when amd says 4GB of vram they mean 4GB (shots fired)

  6. im selling both of my r9 290s to get a 980ti...soon I'm thinking of attempting to sell one to some uneducated smuck for $350-400 if that doesn't work ill sell both for 400 (200 each) and gather another 100-200 either way im getting a 980Ti hopefully with a smexy back plate too

     

    P.s im tired of these space heaters

  7. so playing JC2 (it is storming outside right now) and i have the corsair m65 in military green, when out of nowhere my pinkie finger gets a massive shock (like static electricity and there was a audible pop sound)

     

    still kinda hurts too has anyone ever had this happen to them before getting a shock through something? the really strange thing though is it didn't turn off my computer..but for it to get to me it had to go into my

     

    psu through my computer etc etc to my hand (Florida has really high humidity which pretty much eliminates most static build up) this is the strangest thing that has happened to me all year

  8. i live in FL you all are lucky it was like 89-92 in my room today(twas raining today) damned pc i really wanna switch to a 980(Ti crosses fingers) but any way passive cooling is possible just

     

    going to take a lot of rads to do so, but if you had a good deal of rad space and quite a few fans you could theoretically run the fans at much lower speeds say like 200-500 rpm?  and still

     

    get decent temps maybe... just maybe

  9. ....? not quite sure what your asking the RAM is used by the cpu as a "deskspace" the video card has its own set of ram that is completely separate from the cpu which is much faster than your cpu ram
