    Stuck with Nvidia.

    Oops. If low profile is about height, I got it totally wrong. I thought it was about power consumption and noise.

    Stuck with Nvidia.

    Do you have any other suggestions? I chose 220 just because it's 40nm based cards that doesn't suck up power. If there're any other nVidia cards that are quiet while not needy on power consumption, I'd go for it (If so, it doesn't need to be 40nm.) No, I don't expect low profile Fermi cards...

    Stuck with Nvidia.

    Thank you all for all the suggestions. After all, I've chagned my mind again and decided to go with this. Not because it's a great card or anything but I realized I've been fine with current 8600GT 256mb. I have that desire to play 3d games in good settings but then again, I haven't played...

    Video Editing.

    As posted in other thread (by me.) "I like the direction Fermi is taking but I need something right now and lack of information worries me a bit. Even if Fermi comes out as promised, I think it'll take some time for it to be utilized. Worst of all, I fear Fermi might be GPU verion of Pentium...

    Stuck with Nvidia.

    I decided to go with EVGA E-GEFORCE GTS 250 738MHZ 1024MB 2.2GHZ but I'm not sure even at this point. Still, I doubt if I should go for 5750 for it's as fast as GTS 250 plus 40nm and Directx 11. It'd be easy only if I could get a clear confirmation on the future of CUDA. I know CUDA is more...

    Video Editing.

    It was 2 min of 5d mk2's 1080P footages and 70% of it had thisthis applied. One thing I'm not sure is whether this whole CUDA this, CUDA that is more of a marketing hype or not. I recall when CS4 was first released and it seemed like CS4 utilized CUDA when it was only openGL. Even now, I see...

    Stuck with Nvidia.

    Thanks for the great summary. I guess I'll pass 220 though it's 40nm card that I was looking for. Again, gaming isn't my priority but I'd like to have that freedom to play one whenever I feel like it. Based on what you've said, 220 wouldn't even let me have that, I figure. So, what options...

    i7 860 setup for video editing.

    I'm going to stick with 1156 socket because moving to 1366 costs me extra $100. Also, I know I'll do a whole upgrade once 32nm processors, USB 3.0, and SATA3 come along. In other words, I'll be using this setup a few years as always (2 yrs. minimum) and by the time I upgrade, it'd be better for...

    Q6600 @ 3.2ghz has been quite okay for me until I got myself into this video editing thing. After it took an hour to render 2 min. of footage, I realized i7 is quite needed. Thanksfully, my gf is looking for a new desktop which means I can sell her my current setup and go for i7 for myself...

    Christian Bale?s Inspiration for ?American Psycho?: Tom Cruise

    Wow, that's what I thought when I watched the movie. Everytime I watch Tom Cruise doing anything, I get this feeling that he's acting. He just looks and acts damn hollow as if he's a robot being controlled.

    Some crazy guy tattoos a Nikon dSLR on his arm

    Am I missing something here? That tattoo looks 100% Nikon, not to mention what the guy said: "since using a Nikon product, I am convinced that I will never use anything else...EVER AGAIN."

    Canon Mark IV officially announced

    No wonder. As seen in this thread alone, some people are willing to draw conclusions based upon a few samples pictures that doesn't even have EXIF data. Even worse, it was a pre-production unit. :disgust: It gets even worse when that person compares such images to sample images carefully...

    Just got the 50mm f/1.8 II -- Wow amazing quality for such an inexpensive lens

    I had a same question when I was using 50mm f/1.8. I ended up buying f/1.4 and a few days after 1.8 was put on the market without a single hesitation. If all you care about is sharpness, f/1.4 isn't worth it; however, if you care about other factors such as CA, AF, bokeh...etc. it's damn worth...

    No. 1ds mk iv is for d3x. Even so, lack of information doesn't mean you're free of making nonsense comparisons. If you lack good samples, you wait unless you have an agenda.

    Canon Mark IV officially announced

    Comparisons on D3s and 1D mk should be made regardless of the FF vs. crop factor or MP counts because those two cameras belong to exact same market segment. Beside that, I agree with everything you pointed out. One just can't compare a resized sample image released by the company to cropped...

    Good choice for camera batteries?

    Without a doubt, Eneloop. Keep it mind there's a newer version of Eneloop that has 50%(I'm not sure but it's what I remember) more recharable rate as well as less idle drain rate.

    Nikon D3s outed by legit source - ISO 102,400!

    Best Digital SLR for the money? Currently, I'd say it's Pentax K-x. It's only $650 including the kit lens.

    Unless EXPEED's nasty JPEG processing algorithms are fixed, this or upcoming D800 won't be in my charts. However, if it's fixed, I'd consider it as a God's gift.

You simply put your entire wallet near a small pad and that's it. You could even use your cell-phone. One thing I...

    7D Officially Announced

    Regardless of body settings, try taking shots with Standard and Neutral Picture Style. Difference is quite evident. It also makes difference in file size as more noise = more information. On my 5d mk2, picture A that is shot with Standard Picture Style was 8.12MB whereas the Neutral one was 11.6MB.
