There's no way it will sell that much.

[QUOTE="JC_Spot"]Looking at various benchmarks, the most expensive ASUS one outperforms a stock 680.General_X
That is probably due to the overclock, and overclocking a graphics card is as easy as moving some sliders to the right in a program such as MSI Afterburner. I would say get the cheaper factory overclocked Asus or Gigabyte card then overclock it yourself to the speeds of the more expensive card or faster if the temperatures will allow.

So you're saying hardware wise there is no difference? One has just been overclocked before shipping and one hasn't?

The more expensive ones offer varying degrees of Factory Overclocks, something you can easily do on your own but might void the warranty of a non-factory overclocked card.General_X
Is there a reason the Gigabyte models are significantly cheaper than the ASUS ones?

So I'm bulding a rig with this card however I've noticed a massive difference in the prices of various versions. Can somebody please explain the difference between the linked cards? I know it's something to do with overclocking and the more expensive ones seem to have higher clock speeds, is it worth getting one of the more expensive ones?

The 260 is an old card, I had a friend with an Alienware of the same model as yours with that card. Needless to say, about a year ago it shutdown randomly and never started again. The reliability of Alienware is low.

[QUOTE="LordTrexGuy"]

I don't really see why people are loving this game so much. After I put in 40 hours, I was over with most of the content this game has to offer except the Radiant Quests which are more boring than seeing paint dry. Most of the other quests are fetch-or-kill type. Why do people claim "OMG Skyrim has so much content all gamers went MIA for months!" I don't find anything interesting to do since most quests suck, there is nothing interesting in the environment and all that detail Todd Howard said was in the game, where the hell is it? The enemy variety is miniature and most people don't have any sort of personality. The first dozen hours were awesome, but then it turned out really boring. Oblivion had way better quests, even if there were no random encounter, much more beautiful environments, so much enemy variety and better NPCs, even if they looked like clay models. Oblivion intoduced me to RPGs and I was hooked for a hundred hours straight.

So the question is, why do people like it so much? And please don't tell me it's so much fun to roleplay...

I have no idea why people like Skyrim so much, i have played it but got tired of it in about 2-3 hours of playing despite buying when it was released. And its not because i dont love those kind of games, i spent close to 500hours in total in FAllout 3 and new Vegas.

Is this by replaying or on singular characters? I've never been able to understand getting so much playtime out of Fallout, it seemed I had done pretty much everything there is to be done after less than 100 hours.
