    Microphone Always On

    Microphone Always On

Now is this just them peddling their cleaner or would this account for the 6-7C temperature rise. Perhaps...

    X800xt vs X800xt PE

    I searched through the forums here and didnÂ’t see much on the differences of the two. I know the clocking is different but how much real world difference does it make. I need a new card and IÂ’m going to get one or the other but if the difference isnÂ’t that much IÂ’ll get the cheaper x800xt...
