Is the GeForce 560Ti the best GFX to get atm? It's only £200 and I need a really decent graphics card (I currently have the 8800GTS and it's starting to suck).

What are the current top performers?
the 6950 1gb version would be a better card at that price point.

and if you get one of the older reference cards, you can unlock it to a 6970

for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.

gj Chrome...must have too much shit cached or somethin. It would hang and show "looking in cache" at the bottom left.

Cleared the last day's worth and now it's fine.

apparently, chrome is horrible at handling its cache, it can easily have gigabytes of that shit.

if you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.

True. Just picked up a 10TB external disk for € 300 something.

Anyone got a recommendation for reasonable quality ($50-$100) open-ear headphones with mic? Open-ear is a must.

edit: or at least not noise cancelling/closed ear - have these http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-GameC … amp;sr=1-1 currently and they're falling apart, i'd like something a little bit higher quality

I dunno, it says noise reduction, which I'm not looking for. I play music out of my speakers while playing games and I'd like to be able to hear it. Does anyone own a pair?

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PC161- … mp;sr=1-11 these seem to be leading in my search
