You and your benchmarks...

Also, is SLI the same thing as crossfire?

Edit: Turns out it's a GeForce GTX 580M and 570M

Benches can provide quick references to the capabilities of hardware, and for comparison between different ones. I mean, it may not fully reflect RL situations, but it does give people a pretty good idea of its performance.

SLI is the Nvidia version of multi-card configurations, basically the same as CrossfireX. And I thought you had to have the same chips for them to pair up...? Those are two different GPUs as far as I know.

I think you do need to have the same chips, but NVIDIA is releasing two seperate, new chips. Not sure though, but this is where I got the link from:

Two different chips, different shader count. Unless Nvidia changed something in their SLI technology, I call that a bluff. The chips have to be identical to be able to pair up.

Quick question:

If I decide to build a computer, would I need some sort of adapter for wireless internet? I was looking at some articles and it said that desktops don't support wireless internet connections (as opposed to laptops).

Gaming and wireless, on a desktop? fucking lmao.

Buy a 50ft ethernet cord and run it under your house

I assume your computer will be quite a distance away from your wireless router? You could get a wireless adapter for your machine in this case, or invest in powerline networking, which uses your standard household electrical cabling for networking. The simplest method though is still running ethernet cables through your house, either uncovered or in the walls (improbable DIY work).

Powerline (select dual kits for ethernet, single for wireless): http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=294&name=Powerline-Networking

Wireless adapters: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100010074%20600014297&IsNodeId=1&name=PCI%20Express

And for some interesting titbits, it's much cheaper to buy a wireless card for a laptop AND a mini PCI-E to PCI-E adapter, than it is to get a quality wireless adapter. The Intel 6000 series cards are top of the line compared to others as well, having higher reception range and speeds.

Where is your router located at and how far away and what type of material is the floor like in your room and the router room.
