Splintah

I like matte but I really prefer glossy, deeper colors and no grain.

Upgrademonkey I didn't know you were on these forums. While I am here I would like to ask you about the verbiage that you use in your eBay listing for your cards. You say "one at a time only" for SLI machines. Does that mean you can install the cards in SLI machines but only one of them will work and they will not work in conjunction? I didn't think that is what you mean but it makes me wonder. Also, are the cards you have new?

From this chart I think I would go with the Gelid solutions considering the alternatives. IC Diamond is right above it and scratches the die and Coolabratory will solidify if not changed every 3 months and is also potentially conductive.

I have a problem with my lights when using the Dualshock 4. After about 40 minutes of playing the lights will shut off and I will have to move the mouse to turn them back on. Is this normal behavior?

a. The 860 being deployed with the AW17 is the Kepler. I have verified this already (trust me here)

b. The kepler is 10-30 percent slower than the Maxwell.

c. I posted on the official alienware facebook page and received the following "That's great feedback, Steven! We can't comment on that, but I would encourage to share it through IdeaStorm and our engineers will definitely take that into consideration. Here's the link: Idea Storm _NC"

Good luck...

Forgot to add my actual post to Alienware:

Dear Alienware Team, do you mind reaching out to the Developers/Engineering team to ask "in the AW14/17/18 series, why are they being deployed with Kepler Nvidia Cards for the 800 series rather than the Maxwell? Lots of good benchmarks on these and the Maxwell shows to be a 10-30 percent increase in a lot of games. This may not sound like much but for those who are purchasing Alienware you are paying for the best. So again, please ask why they are being deployed with Kepler instead of the newer, higher performing, Maxwell. Thanks for your time!

I have heard reports that it is only 10 percent slower than the maxwell at stock clocks but I could be wrong.
