    Haha, don't mention it. It really likes to eat away on RAM. :lol:

    But, as one can tell by the humble GPU, this computer's main purpose won't be gaming.
    It'll be used mainly for virtualization purposes. Apart from that it'll serve as a replacement for my NAS which went up in flames, and some various tasks which just need doing every now and then. (The occasional compiling and hosting).

    i see my old rusty GeForce GTX 480 is still doing ok in the warfare of videocards. I bought this card for me a long time ago, never thought it would still be so high after such a long time.

    The main problem of the 480 was the heat and power consumption of I remember correctly. Was quite a beasty card back in the days indeed.

    Just a bigass fan on it and about the power, i dont care that much. Although those laptops with dual graphs in it that "start" the moment it start to do graphics would be a better thing for normal pc's too.

    That is already there, nvidia has such implementation, that you use the onboard video for "windows" work and the videocard when a game is started.

    That chart isn't indicative of real world performance in games. My card that just died is way way down on that list but i could still play just about any game smoothly on high settings (maybe not AA so much recently).

    My new card came this morning before i was even out of bed, i thought it seemed to good to be true, so after opening it i discovered they sent me the wrong card - a 7850 instead of a 7870. So fingers crossed i will get a replacement tomorrow, im awaiting an call from "Nick" in customer services who is getting the stock checked in the warehouse to make sure they don't just send me another 7850 :p
