VN Boards Archive

[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

This card is 25-35% faster on average. -The card costs $550 Anyways, performance isn't anything to write home about. I expected at least 50% faster than a GTX580 so a 25-35% increase in games, while good, is not "great" by any means. What is great is the power usage and temperatures. -----signature----- I survived to the end and got nothing out of it, but hey.

	Though nice overall. Noise level kinda worries me. Sounds like it needs better cooler. Would probably wait for non ref design if the 300-350 version is anything like that. -----signature----- http://gimpchimp.etilader.com/display.php?user=lonestarr 3500+ solo kills & Lone Enforcer WAR - IronRock Dest- Energist, Moogabooga SWTOR - KV - Energist, Moogabooga
