It looked good while it lasted.

Here's my gripe rant about SLI/surround.

When you set up a dual card SLI configuration, NVIDIA wants you to connect the desktops like this.

Now, this was a big pain in the ass for me because I have 2 DVI cables and 1 HDMI-to-DVI cable, which the cards refused to accept with SLI surround. So I had to use a DVI adapter on a VGA cable which gave be a stupid refresh rate issue as usual (lines in the screen).

After about an hour of NVIDIA Control Panel crashing, I finally got the SLI surround setup to work normally.

Then I noticed I couldn't leave surround mode.

With one card in surround, I can easily press WIN-P to switch from Extended (regular multiple monitor management system for Windows, makes each monitor an individual) to Projector or Surround mode (Makes all 3 monitors act as ONE MONITOR. This means everything you put in fullscreen wants to span across all 3, including Youtube videos and browser windows).

With the two cards, switching from Surround to Extended killed the displays. They simply did not respond. This was a $420 deal breaker for me.

Even when testing the two cards on games like Far Cry 3 I noticed little performance increase at all. This was just depressing.

So, buyer beware - TL;DR, If you want to do Nvidia SLI, surround mode is going to suck because you're stuck in it. No extended allowed - oh, unless you want to use 1 monitor for gaming, then SLI will work for just 1 monitor an forget the rest.

I'm taking back the second card. I'll probably sell my first 670 as well and just loving buy a GTX Titan.[/b]

I have an odd problem. My mouse (Logitech G400) has been "lagging" as of late. Occasionally there's a 3-5 second long period when every move I make with my mouse including clicks are ~300ms late. It will do all the things I did with my mouse but just some 300ms after I've actually done it. It's very annoying. It also applies to my keyboard (Logitech K200), the keys I press are actually repeated. This has never happened before and I've had both my mouse and keyboard for a year now.

i have a pci wifi card. I have had bad experiences with USB wifi dongles. Also, it makes it slightly more portable
