Its about the resolution not the size, at 1080p both card do about the same the edge going to 560ti, at or above 2560x1440 the XFX 6950 2GB is doing better than the 560ti. On a single 1980x1080 or a 1980x1280 both are just about the same, with like I said the edge going to the 560ti. I hope...

physix is a nvida physics simulator used in games like arkem city and well quite a few others, it can be done with most decent CPUs though. Cuda like a direct compute GPU for nvida, used for writing parallel processor codes or running folding at home, if your into such stuff. Both cards are...

the 2gb 6950 gives you headroom, we are starting to use more and more gpu memory in very recent games, I see a 560ti is just a tad better at DX 11 and tessellation but not by much, so they both have there advantages and disadvantages, but the 560ti also does physix and cuda if your into that...

Re: De-anodizing hosts nice job, I agree on the crown though that is what I am going to link to ppl when they ask about using a laser for self defense, you could skewer someone with that . :gj: SO is that just the effect of some lye and water and polishing?

not to try and change your mind, but just for the info, most cards from EVGA have lifetime warranties, and ASUS cards come with errrr a 5 year transferable warranty, so they have good resell prices later on. MSI gives it upper range cards a lifetime warranty as well. Have fun with whatever new...

That is a good card, I have seen 560ti for same price on occasion from newegg, and it does not matter what card, if dx11 is important to you conside a 7770, or if its pure speed I saw a HD6970 for around 200$ last month on newegg. If I could find the 560ti for under 200$ though I think it would...

PM sent, seems a good way to advertise and get honest reviews. Plus every one likes free :bday:

lol you inspired me to take another wack at taking apart an old obi wan lightsaber to see what I can make out of it, 2 hours now and much blood shed, I cored most of the plastic and electronics, I tapped out a rivet, unscrewed the switch, nothing on the main tube seems to want work with me, I...

How about, ask someone to build a green pt-54 led light on a tactical flashlight host, mount it to your gun. If its dark, a very bright green light in your face is going destroy any trace of night vision. You can even get trigger switch for your tactical host. May not be what you want, but it...

It may be calculating your Raleigh scattering if you are selecting beam.

5mw is what you have to work with, but yes it can be done, I cannot find a way to get the power i need and still make it safe, I have considered a very bright semi focused strobe light like an anti collision light from an aircraft. Using a green laser on a firearm you have to understand, the...

Playing to much BF3? :P laser sights are for acquiring targets not for defense. You could use optics and pulse a laser and yes it would be irritating to someone, but why? Your pointing a rifle at them, what the hell they going to do to you when your pointing a 5.56 in their face.

I have an old full one with the battery case missing, someone gave me for parts to make a laser host from, the amount of plastic and internal construction are iffy it would require quite a bit of modification. Its a full size though.

Dust is what I had in mind, the lighter dust is just floating in the air at all times in some deserts, they are more dust bowls than sand dunes, in certain areas.

to be honest its all based on CIE tables if you look at the link I provided RHD has made a tool you can use and can also factor in Raleigh scattering.

532.0605794nm=602.2082543 lumens per W is the best I can do in short notice. also here is good thread for ya http://laserpointerforums.com/f44/new-tool-calculate-relative-brightness-wavelengths-nm-61238.html

where do you live, in the US(personal exp) anything over 5mw as a gun sight is a no go, that bieng said a 5mw green is the brightest option that is legal in the US as far as I know. "Class IIIb aiming devices cannot be legally sold in the U.S. without a variance from the applicable...

You in a desert? the dust may do that, but for me at noon I have never seen a laser I can point in the sky at noon and "see" it. a 1w to2w 445 would totally blend in with all the other scattered blue light, but some folks have better vision than others.

I see this is laser vs sunlight week at LPF :P

let me put it put it like this then, I can focus my dot on blue surface or black surface but not on red or green surface, my eyes and brain have a limit, and contrasting colors have to hit the eye at a different angle to focus in the exact center to get a non blurry view. Or my brain cannot give...
