    Imagine if every component had that. It'd feel like starting up a game for the first time and frantically spamming esc/enter to skip past all the splash intros only to find out THEY'RE UNSKIPPABLE GOD FUCKING DAMMIT :O
    Haha. Reminds me of the video, If Quake Was Done Today. Can't stand the endless stream of developer logos.

    Oh man, that video never gets old.

    About annoying traits though Tetris, how about nvidia cards still using 3d clocks when using multi-display setup. People have only been complaining about it for...3 years?

    I go from 168W idle to 138W idle (that is with screens and speakers running) when switching on inspector's multi display saver, and literally nothing changes performancewise. That's a free 30W powersave with 1click. I still can't believe they haven't properly fixed it by now :/

    What do you have to draw that much at idle? Now that you fixed it, I mean.
    My entire rig pulls 77~w from the wall and my PSU isn't even bronze, so there's still room to spare. Even so, AMD cards (HD6970 was at least) are also a lot warmer with dual monitors plugged in. Not as much as nVidia does in my experience though.

    Yeah the idle is the powerconnector of my whole system combined. So monitors, speakers the whole lot. PC itself is about 59W idle.

    But basicly forcing the 2D clocks saves 30W, and i get no glitches or stutterings onscreen. I really wonder why nvidia doesn't fix it's multi display idle behaviour.

    So it has the full 2880 cudacores huh. Wonder what the actual retailprices will be seeing as it'll likely top the 290x.

    No way, that looks completely different to what I was expecting it to look like!!

    Well, the recessions in the text is black rather than the same metallic colour. So I it is a bit new, I guess?

    I like the irony on that this is reversed these days. :P

    I wouldn't call it "reversed" to the same extent of what AMD card owners typically went through during the HD3000, 4000, 5000 and 6000 days. Just go on OCN and dig up some of the old ATI Catalyst installation, troubleshooting and uninstall (which was even harder) guides. It was like a demonic cult's ritual involving virgin sacrifices in complex pentagrams :P

    These days nVidia drivers may have the occasional hiccup but besides that they're more or less on an equal footing. E.g. BF4 started giving AMD owners a red screen of death before AMD came along and fixed it :P

    I still have to update and find a stable driver for my notebook per reformat, which I do pretty often. Else i get white scrambles and bsods. Strangely, the latest beta driver is the stables yet.

    Well, this isn't too promising. The ol' 2500K @ 4.7ghz is constantly at 90%+ usage in BF4 while GPU (780 @ 1228/7000) is hovering around 50-70% depending on map. It should be the other way around. Looks like even a decently overclocked 2500K is finally starting to see it's architectures' limits in gaming. Benchmarks also show a pretty big leap in framerates with i7 CPU's when paired with a single high-end GPU.

    No idea what more I can do besides upgrading to a 4770K + Z87 board, and no I don't have the money to make that kind of an upgrade right now.
    It wouldn't be a very "happy" upgrade either given Haswell's heat issues, I want a chip that runs as cool and as overclock-friendly Sandy

    Actually scratch that, I'm a retard. Turns out Shadowplay was "shadow-recording" the whole time, would explain the usage - the GPU was frantically encoding to H264 in the background. Once I switched it to manual, BAM, 95%+ GPU usage, 90%+ CPU usage.

    Yeah I'm a retard -_-

    No, Win8 isn't needed

    lol and they said Shadowplay has "BARELY ANY HIT ON PERFORMANCE"

    loooooooooool Cyanotical you owe me for that one.

    "Barely" as in you're still going to see very good framerates while recording. That's putting aside the fact that BF4 MP is just demanding as fuck on the entire rig, and DICE is still working to optimize it.
    Wondering if nVidia/AMD have another driver in the works to boost performance further.

    Shadowplay doesn't use your GPU. It's this thing:



    Have been raging a few hours because "not even a single encoder program used the gpu" till I actually realized there's that extra chip to encode video's >.<

    Lol how? I've never seen higher cpu loads or gpu loads with shadowplay. So 2x 780's +3930k: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vMjg4JfPiY

    So my AudioEngines just died. Left Tweeter unit is cracking. Somehow, no matter how careful i am with stuff, hardware just seems to die very quickly around me.

    Made sure it's not a cable that is fastened incorrectly?
