Now with all these new games about and the need for better gpu's I decided it was time. I found a barely used evga GTX 680 4gb classified locally that I'm going to pick up tonight. http://eu.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=04G-P4-3688-KR&family=GeForce%20600%20Series%20Family&uc=EUR I'm looking forward to not having to run low settings to get better performance. If I can get a couple of years out of it before needing to add a second card I'll be happy. Paid $300AUD, I think that's an ok price for a top of the line 680. Cant wait to install it!

It runs from Sydney through new zealand and makes landfall on the west coast of America. They say it will at least double the capacity and speed. Completion is set for late 2015. Expect me in the low 100's for ping if their projections are correct Mule, Power! and Dukoo 3 Awards

Expect me in the low 100's for ping if their projections are correct Here's an explanation of ping for you. A more realistic expectation could be the high 200s for a 32,000km round-trip, perhaps? http://royal.pingdom.com/2007/06/01/theoretical-vs-real-world-speed-limit-of-ping/ Mule and iboomboom 2 Awards

I live in California and the best ping I can get to the east coast is 84 ms, well around low 80s. So.... yeah! Awards

It only improved my connection to the local exchange. A fresh cable that goes all the way from my house to chicago and its lovely fibre optic network would be nice. Awards
