Looks Like Vega Nano is GO!
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 30, 2017 - 10:07 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: Vega, Siggraph, Nano
This doesn't look like it was really meant to happen, but it is in the wild now! Twitter user Drew has posted a picture of Chris Hook holding up a Vega Nano card outside the show. It draws its design from the previous Vega products that we have seen with the shroud and the red cube in the top right corner. No specifications were included with this post, but we can see that the card is significantly shorter than the RX Vega FE that Ryan had reviewed.
TDPs should be in the sub-200 watt range for such a design. The original Nano was a 150 watt TDP part that performed quite well at the time. Pricing is again not included, but we will be able to guess once the rest of the Vega lineup is announced later.
AMD Releases Radeon GPU Profiler
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 27, 2017 - 05:45 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: amd
Alongside the big Radeon Software Crimson ReLive 17.7.2 release, AMD pushed out a new developer tool to profile performance on AMD GPUs. First and foremost, it's only designed to work with the newer graphics APIs, DirectX 12 and Vulkan, although it supports many operating systems: Windows 7, Windows 10, and Linux (Ubuntu 16.04). It doesn't (yet) support Vega, so you will need to have a 400-, 500-, or Fury series GPU. I expect that will change in the near future, though.
So what does it do? These new graphics APIs are low-level, and there's a lot going on within a single frame. Other tools exist to debug thing like "which draw call is painting a white blotch over part of my frame", with AMD recommending RenderDoc. Radeon GPU Profiler is more for things like "did I feed my GPU enough tasks to mask global memory access latency?" or "what draw call took the longest to process?" Now that a lot of this is in the hands of game developers, AMD wants them to have the tools to efficiently load their GPUs.
While the software is freely available, it's not open source. (You will see a "Source code" link in the release section of GitHub, but it's just a Readme.)
Introducing the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 25, 2017 - 06:36 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: evga, Kingpin, 1080 ti, nvidia
A fancy new card with a fancy way of spelling K|NGP|N has just been announced by EVGA. It is a rather attractive card, eschewing RGBitis for a copper heatsink peeking through the hexagonal grill and three fans. The only glowing parts indicate the temperature of the GPU, memory and PWM controller; a far more functional use.
As you would expect, the card arrives with default clocks, a base clock of 1582MHz and boost of 1695MHz, however the card is guaranteed to hit 2025MHz and higher when you overclock the cards. The base model ships with a dual-slot profile, however EVGA chose to move the DVI port down, leaving the top of the card empty except for cooling vents, this also means you could purchase a Hydro Copper Waterblock and reduce the cards height to a single slot.
The card currently holds several single GPU World Records:
- 3DMark Time Spy World Record – 14,219
- 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme World Record – 19,361
- 3DMark Fire Strike World Record – 31,770
- UNIGINE Superposition – 8,642
July 25th, 2017 - The GeForce® GTX™ 1080 Ti was designed to be the most powerful desktop GPU ever created, and indeed it was. EVGA built upon its legacy of innovative cooling solutions and powerful overclocking with its GTX 1080 Ti SC2 and FTW3 graphics cards. Despite the overclocking headroom provided by the frigid cooling of EVGA's patented iCX Technology, the potential of the GTX 1080 Ti still leaves room for one more card at the top...and man is it good to be the K|NG.
A splash of water can open it up; ASUS' ROG Poseidon GTX 1080 Ti Platinum

Tagged: ROG Poseidon GTX 1080 Ti Platinum, gtx 1080 ti, asus, water cooling, factory overclocked
We have seen the test results that ASUS' Poseidon GTX 1080 Ti can manage on air cooling and now it is time to revist the card when it is watercooled. [H]ard|OCP attached the card to a Koolance Exos Liquid Cooling System Model EX2-755 and fired up the system to benchmark it. The difference is immediately noticeable, the minimum clock on watercooling almost matches the highest clock seen on air cooling, with an average observed frequency of 2003MHz, 2076MHz once they manually overclocked. This did translate into better gameplay and significantly lower operating temperatures which you can see in detail here.
"It's time to let the liquid flow and put the ASUS ROG Poseidon GTX 1080 Ti Platinum Edition to the ultimate test. We will connect a Koolance Liquid Cooling System and test GPU frequency, gaming performance, and push the video card as hard as possible for its best overclock. Let's find out what a little liquid can do for a GTX 1080 Ti."

Gamers Nexus Talks Mining with AIB and PSU Vendors

Tagged: supply shortage, shortage, ethereum, cryptocurrency
The cryptocurrency craze is kind-of like the old gold rush. Tokens are just out there waiting to be discovered, and value is applied when people trade it in exchange for goods and services. In this case, these tokens are discovered by doing math, and faster computers acquire more, and the algorithm is quite parallel. Some of the non-Bitcoin currencies are gaining traction, and becoming economically viable to mind with off-the-shelf parts, so gaming parts are being sold out... and not to gamers.
What do the video card add-in board (AIB) partners (as in the companies that take GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD and attach them to things that will actually plug into a motherboard) think of this? Gamers Nexus reached out to a bunch of them and, off the record, got a bunch of responses. The fifteen-minute video is quite interesting, and covers a lot of issues like brand loyalty, the second-hand market flooding, and RMA abuse. It even talks about the abnormal stress the GPU mining could have on power supplies. Most of the responses make sense, but it's interesting to hear it coming from people in the industry, even if "who specifically said what" has been anonymized.
Of course, this is for the best, because you'll get more candid responses that way.
NVIDIA Releases GeForce 384.76 Drivers
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 30, 2017 - 05:26 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, graphics drivers
Aligning with the LawBreakers "Rise Up" open beta, as well as the Spider-Man: Homecoming VR Experience VR experience, intentionally written twice, NVIDIA has released new graphics drivers!
The GeForce Game Ready 384.76 WHQL drivers were published yesterday on GeForce Experience and their website. Apart from game-specific optimizations, the driver also fixes a bunch of issues, many of which seem very important. First, if you are a fan of Firefall, and your system was unable to launch the game, this driver should remedy that. The driver also claims to remove some or all of the stuttering experienced by GTX 1080, GTX 1070, and GTX 1060 GPUs on Prey 2. Texture corruption in No Man's Sky, for those who still play the game in an SLI configuration, should be fixed as well, which I believe was a long standing issue, although I could be wrong (as I haven't been following that game). Vulkan support on Doom (2016) has also been improved.
I should note that, when I tried to custom install the driver through GeForce Experience, the install "failed" three times -- as in, the installed wouldn't even draw the install button. Eventually, it gave me an install button, and it installed just fine. Not sure what's going on with that, but I thought you all should know.
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition GPU and PCB Exposed

Tagged: Vega, radeon, Frontier Edition, amd
Hopefully you have already read up on my review of the new Radeon Vega Frontier Edition graphics card; it is full of interesting information about the gaming and professional application performance.
But I thought it would be interesting to share the bare card and GPU in its own post, just to help people find it later on.
For measurements, here's what we were able to gleam with the calipers.
(Editor's Update: we have updated the die measurements after doing a remeasure. I think my first was a bit loose as I didn't want to impact the GPU directly.)
- Die size: 25.90mm x 19.80mm (GPU only, not including memory stacks)
- Area: 512.82mm2
- Package size: 47.3mm x 47.3mm
- Area: 2,237mm2
Enjoy the sexy!

Interesting notes:
- There is a LOT of empty PCB space on the Vega FE card. This is likely indicative of added area needed for a large heatsink and fan to cool 300-375 watt TDP without throttling.
- Benefits of the smaller HBM-based package appears to be at a cost of SMT components on the GPU substrate and the PCB
- The die size of Vega is large - bigger than GP102 even, despite running at a much lower performance level. It will be interesting to see how AMD answers the question of why the die has expanded as much as it did.
Feel free to leave us some comments if anything stands out!
ASUS has created a new hybrid, the Poseidon GTX 1080 Ti Platinum Edition

We've seen the ASUS ROG Poseidon before, the last one that comes to mind being the GTX 980 Ti from Computex 2015. The name refers to the hybrid cooling solution which incorporates both watercooling and aircooling, giving you the option to add watercooling to increase your thermal dissipation or to remain with aircooling. [H]ard|OCP is working on a two part review of the card, this first article covering the performance of the card on aircooling alone. The card exceeded the quoted boost clock of 1708MHz, averaging 1939MHz in the BF1 test on default Gaming Mode clocks, 2025MHz once they overclocked. That is an impressive clock but there are other air cooled cards which are able to reach higher frequencies so it will be interesting to see what adding watercooling to the card will do.
"Air cooling? Liquid Cooling? How about both, the ASUS ROG Poseidon GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Platinum Edition hybrid video card can run them both. In Part 1 of our evaluation we will test the video card on "air cooling" and overclock it as high as possible. In Part 2, we pump liquid through its veins and compare overclocks."

If you are an indie game developer, and you could use a little more GPU performance, NVIDIA is hosting a hardware giveaway. Starting at the end of July, and ongoing until Summer 2018, NVIDIA and Epic Games will be giving away GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti cards to batches of Unreal Engine 4 projects.
To enter, you need to share screenshots and videos of your game on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, tagging both UnrealEngine and NVIDIA. (The specific accounts are listed on the Unreal Engine blog post that announces this initiative.) They will also feature these projects on both the Unreal Engine and the NVIDIA blog, which is just as valuable for indie projects.
So... hey! Several chances at free hardware!
Go west young researcher! AMD's Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is available now

Tagged: Vega FE, Vega, HPC, amd
AMD have released their new HPC card, the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which Jim told you about earlier this week. The air cooled version is available now, with an MSRP of $999USD followed by a water-cooled edition arriving in Q3 with price tag of $1499.
The specs they list for the cards are impressive and compare favourably to NVIDIA's P100 which is the card AMD tested against, offering higher TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 operations though the memory bandwidth lags a little behind.

The memory size for the Vega is interesting, HBC is AMDs High Bandwidth Cache Controller which not only uses the memory cache more effectively but is able to reach out to other high performance system memory for help. AMD states that the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition has the capability of expanding traditional GPU memory to 256TB; perhaps allowing new texture mods for Skyrim or Fallout! Expect to see more detail on this feature once we can get our hands on a card to abuse, nicely of course.
AMD used the DeepBench Benchmark to provide comparative results, the AMD Vega FE system used a dual socketed system with Xeon E5 2640v4s @ 2.4Ghz 10C/20T, 32GB DDR4 per socket, on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with ROCm 1.5, and OpenCL 1.2, the NVIDIA Tesla P100 system used the same hardware with the CuDNN 5.1, Driver 375.39 and Cuda version 8.0.61 drivers. Those tests showed the AMD system completing the benchmark in 88.7ms, the Tesla P100 completed in 133.1 ms, quite an impressive lead for AMD. Again, there will be much more information on performance once the Vega FE can be tested.
Read on to hear about the new card in AMD's own words, with links to their sites.
NVIDIA Partners Launching Mining Focused P106-100 and P104-100 Graphics Cards
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 26, 2017 - 11:29 PM | Tim Verry

In addion to the AMD-based mining graphics cards based on the RX 470 Polaris silicon that have appeared online, NVIDIA and its partners are launching cryptocurrency mining cards based on GP106 and GP104 GPUs. Devoid of any GeForce or GTX branding, these cost controlled cards focused on mining lack the usual array of display outputs and have much shorter warranties (rumors point at a 3 month warranty restriction imposed by NVIDIA). So far Asus, Colorful, EVGA, Inno3D, MSI, and Zotac "P106-100" cards based on GP106 (GTX 1060 equivalent) silicon have been spotted online with Manli and Palit reportedly also working on cards. Many of these manufacturers are also also planning "P104-100" cards based on GP104 or the GTX 1070 though much less information is available at the moment. Pricing is still up in the air but pre-orders are starting to pop up overseas so release dates and prices will hopefully become official soon.
These mining oriented cards appear to be equipped with heatsinks similar to their gaming oriented siblings, but have fans rated for 24/7 operation. Further, while the cards can be overclocked they are clocked out of the box at reference clock speeds and allegedly have bolstered power delivery hardware to keep the cards mining smoothly under 24/7 operation. The majority of cards from NVIDIA partners lack any display outputs (the Colorful card has a single DVI out) which helps a bit with ventilation by leaving both slots vented. These cards are intended to be run in headless system or with systems that also have graphics integrated into the CPU (miners not wanting to waste a PCI-E slot!).

Looking at the Nicehash Profitability Calculator, the GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 are rated at 20.13 MH/s and 28.69 MH/s at DaggerHashimoto (Etherium) mining respectively with many users able to get a good bit higher hash rates with a bit of overclocking (and in the case of AMD undervolting to optimize power efficiency). NVIDIA cards tend to be good for other algorithms as well such as ZCash and Libry and Equihash (at least those were the majority of coins my 750 Ti mined likely due to it not having the memory to attempt ETH mining heh). The calculator estimates these GPUs at 0.00098942 BTC per day and 0.00145567 BTC per day respectivey. If difficulty and exchange rate were to remains constant that amounts to an income of $1197.95 per year for a GP106 and $1791.73 per year for a GP104 GPU and ROI in under 3 months. Of course cryptocurrency to USD exchange rates will not remain constant, there are transactions and mining fees, and mining difficulty will rise as more hardware is added to the network as miners so these estimated numbers will be lower in reality. Also, these numbers are before electricity, maintainence time, and failed hardware costs, but currently mining alt coins is still very much profitable using graphics cards.
AMD and NVIDIA (and their AIB partners) are hoping to get in on this action with cards binned and tuned for mining and at their rumored prices placing them cheaper than their gaming focused RX and GTX variants miners are sure to scoop these cards up in huge batches (some of the above cards are only availabe in large orders). Hopefully this will alleviate the strain on the gaming graphics card market and bring prices back down closer to their original MSRPs for gamers!

Mining specific cards are real - ASUS and Sapphire GP106 and RX 470 show up
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 26, 2017 - 12:21 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: radeon, nvidia, mining, geforce, cryptocurrency, amd
It appears that the prediction of mining-specific graphics cards was spot on and we are beginning to see the release of them from various AMD and NVIDIA board partners. ASUS has launched both a GP106-based solution and an RX 470 offering, labeled as being built exclusively for mining. And Sapphire has tossed it's hat into the ring with RX 470 options as well.
The most interesting release is the ASUS MINING-P106-6G, a card that takes no official NVIDIA or GeForce branding, but is clearly based on the GP106 GPU that powers the GeForce GTX 1060. It has no display outputs, so you won't be able to use this as a primary graphics card down the road. It is very likely that these GPUs have bad display controllers on the chip, allowing NVIDIA to make use of an otherwise unusable product.
The specifications on the ASUS page list this product as having 1280 CUDA cores, a base clock of 1506 MHz, a Boost clock of 1708 MHz, and 6GB of GDDR5 running at 8.0 GHz. Those are identical specs to the reference GeForce GTX 1060 product.
The ASUS MINING-RX470-4G is a similar build but using the somewhat older, but very efficient for mining, Radeon RX 470 GPU.
Interestingly, the ASUS RX 470 mining card has openings for a DisplayPort and HDMI connection, but they are both empty, leaving the single DVI connection as the only display option.
The Mining RX 470 has 4GB of GDDR5, 2048 stream processors, a base clock of 926 MHz and a boost clock of 1206 MHz, again, the same as the reference RX 470 product.
We have also seen Sapphire versions of the RX 470 for mining show up on Overclockers UK with no display outputs and very similar specifications.
In fact, based on the listings at Overclockers UK, Sapphire has four total SKUs, half with 4GB and half with 8GB, binned by clocks and by listing the expected MH/s (megahash per second) performance for Ethereum mining.
These releases show both NVIDIA and AMD (and its partners) desire to continue cashing in on the rising coin mining and cryptocurrency craze. For AMD, this allows them to find an outlet for the RX 470 GPU that might have otherwise sat in inventory with the upgraded RX 500-series out on the market. For NVIDIA, using GPUs that have faulty display controllers for mining-specific purposes allows it to be better utilize production and gain some additional profit with very little effort.
Those of you still looking to buy GPUs at reasonable prices for GAMING...you remember, what these products were built for...are still going to have trouble finding stock on virtual or physical shelves. Though the value of compute power has been dropping over the past week or so (an expected result of increase interesting in the process), I feel we are still on the rising side of this current cryptocurrency trend.
Imagination Technologies Pursues Acquisition Talks

Tagged: Imagination Technologies, imagination, apple, gpu
According to a press release from Imagination Technologies, the group has been approached by multiple entities who are interested in acquiring them. None of these potential buyers have been mentioned by name, however. The press release also makes it clear that the group is only announcing that discussions have started, and that other interested parties can contact their financial adviser, Rothschild, to join in.
It's entirely possible that nothing could come from these discussions, but Imagination Technologies clearly wants as many options to choose from as possible.
This announcement is clearly related to the recent news that Apple plans to stop licensing technology from them, which made up about half of the whole company's revenue at the time. The press release states that they are still in dispute with Apple with a dedicated, highly visible, single-line paragraph. As far as I know, Apple hasn't yet provided proof that they are legally clear of Imagination Technology's licenses, and the press release claims that they still dispute Apple's claims.
Hopefully we'll hear more concrete details in the near future.

AMD promised "late June" availability for its Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, and it looks like the company will almost hit that mark. The latest high-end prosumer and workstation GPU from AMD is now available for pre-order, with an expected ship date of July 3rd.
Update [2017-06-24]: The initial pre-order stock at both Newegg and Amazon has sold out. It's unknown if AMD will make additional units available in time for the launch.
The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition helps drive the new digital world. It nurtures creativity. It is your gateway to parts unknown. Expand the boundaries of what's possible and witness the impossible. With the new "Vega" GPU architecture at its core, you will have no barriers or compromises to what you want to achieve. Take advantage of the massive 16GB of cutting-edge, second-generation high-bandwidth memory to create expansive designs and models. Crunch and manipulate datasets using the sixty-four Next-Gen Compute Units (nCUs - 4096 stream processors) at your disposal. Unleash your imagination to develop games, CGI or VR content leveraging the latest features found on the "Vega" GPU architecture and witness the breathtaking power of "Vega" course through your system.
The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is available in both air and AIO liquid-cooled designs, and the product page clarifies the following specs. Note, however, that specific core and memory clocks are not listed, which is especially interesting given the liquid-cooled varient's increased TDP.
AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition (Air Cooled)
- Memory: 16GB High Bandwidth Cache
- Memory Bandwidth: 483 GB/s
- Compute Units: 64
- Stream Processors: 4096

During E3, AMD released a new graphics driver, 17.6.2. It doesn't list any general improvements, and just a single fixed issue: improved performance on DiRT 4 with 8xMSAA with the most recent game build. If you play this game, then you should consider updating your graphics driver.
If you aren't intending to play DiRT 4, and you're already on 17.6.1, then you could probably skip it. That said, if you have an issue, and it's not listed in the Known Issues section, because those definitely aren't fixed yet, then you can give it a try.

Tagged: nicehash, mining, cryptocurrency
Over the last several weeks, we have been experimenting with the most recent GPU-shortage-inducing coin mining craze, with Ken's article as a jumping off point. On a recent podcast, I mentioned the idea of running a community coin mining group that would be used as a way for individuals to contribute to PC Perspective. I received several requests for the wallet and setup information to make this happen, so I thought it would be worth while to gather all the necessary links and info in a single location.
We have been running a Patreon campaign for a couple of years now on the site as a way to provide an avenue for those readers and viewers that find PC Perspective a useful resource to the community and directly contribute. It might be because you want to keep the PCPer staff stable, it could be because you use an ad blocker and are looking for a way to even things out, etc. But there are always some that don't have the ability or desire to sign up for a new service so contributing your empty GPU cycles is another option if you want to donate to the PCPer team.
How do you do it? Ken has created a step by step guide below - thanks for your support in this and all of our previous endeavors!
Donate to:
- Bitcoin: 1HHhVWPRpCUst9bDYtLstMdD7o5SzANk1W
- Ethereum: 0xa0294763261aa85eB5f1dA3Ca0f03E1B672EED87
For those of you who may be curious to try out this mining stuff on your personal computer, we would recommend looking into the NiceHash application.
For those of you who haven't read our previous article, NiceHash is a service that connects buyers of GPU mining power to sellers who have spare hardware that they are looking to put to use.
As a warning, if you are planning to mine please be aware of your power consumption. To get a good idea of this, you can look up the TDP of your given graphics card, multiply that wattage by the hours you plan to mine, divide by 1000 to translate from watts to kilowatts, and multiply that by the rate you pay for electricity (this can be found on your power bill in cents per Kilowatt/Hour in the US). (So it's watts*hours*days/1000*kw/hr rate - Thanks CracklingIce)
Given the current rates of value for these cryptocurrencies, power is a small portion of the gross profit made by mining, but it is important to be aware of this before you are presented with a huge power bill that you weren't expecting.
First, download the latest version of the NiceHash miner application from their website.
After your download has finished, extract the ZIP file and load the NiceHashMiner.exe program.
Once the application has been launched and you've accepted the terms of the EULA, the NiceHash Miner will start to download the appropriate mining applications for your given hardware.
Note: during this installation process, your antivirus program might detect malware. These miner executables that are being downloaded are safe, but many antivirius programs flag them as malware because if they are found on your PC without your permission they are a telltale sign of malicious software.
After the installation process is completed, you be brought to the main screen of the application.
From here, choose the server location closest to you, add the Bitcoin address (in this case: 1HHhVWPRpCUst9bDYtLstMdD7o5SzANk1W), and choose a unique worker name (up to 7 characters long).
From here, hit the benchmark button, select the devices you want to mine on (we would recommend GPUs only, CPUs don't earn very much), and hit the Start button.
Once the benchmarking is done, you'll be brought back to the main screen of the application where you can hit the Start button.
Once you hit the start button, a command prompt window will launch where you can see the miner at work (this can be hidden from the NiceHash setting pane), and you can view the stats of your computer in the original NiceHash application window.
And that's it, your computer will now be mining towards the PCPER community pool!
Zotac Announces Factory Overclocked GTX 1080 Ti Mini
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 14, 2017 - 08:42 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: zotac, gtx 1080 ti, factory overclocked, gp102, SFF
Zotac recently unveiled a slimmed down GTX 1080 Ti graphics card that uses a dual slot and dual fan cooler with a short PCB. The aptly named Zotac GTX 1080 Ti Mini measures 8.3" (211mm) long and will be the smallest GTX 1080 Ti on the market. Despite the miniaturization, Zotac is still offering a decent factory overclock on the Pascal GPU (but not the memory) with a boost clock of 1620 MHz versus the reference boost clock of 1582.
Zotac uses two 8-pin PCI-E power connectors to drive the card with its GTX 1080 Ti GPU (3584 CUDA cores) and 11GB of GDDR5X memory clocked at 11 GHz. The slimmed down graphics card features a metal backplate, dual shrouded fans, and a heatsink with aluminum fins and five 6mm heat pipes. The card has three DisplayPort 1.4 ports, one HDMI 2.0b port, and one DL-DVI output with the card supporting up to four simultaneous displays.
The Zotac GTX 1080 Ti Mini should enable quite a bit of horsepower in small form factor systems. The graphics card is model number ZT-P10810G-10P and Zotac has it listed on its website. Unfortunately, Zotac is not yet talking pricing or availability for the shortened card.
It appears that overclocking is not out of the question, but I am curious just how far it could be pushed especially in a small case with tight quarters and less airflow.

MSI's latest version of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is their GAMING X 4K and has the design features you would expect, Twin Frozr VI, Hi-C CAPs, Super Ferrite Chokes and Japanese Solid Caps. When benchmarking the card [H]ard|OCP saw performance significantly higher than the quoted 1657MHz boost speed, the average was 1935MHz before they overclocked and an impressive 2038MHz for the highest stable in game frequency. They tested both the default and overclocked frequencies against a battery of benchmarks, including the newly released Prey. The card performed admirably at 4k, with many games still performing will with all graphics options at maximum, drop by for a look.
"We review a custom GeForce GTX 1080 Ti based video card with custom cooling and a factory overclock built for overclocking. Can the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X truly deliver a consistent enjoyable high-end graphics setting gameplay experience in games at 4K finally? Is a single card viable for current generation gaming at 4K?"

What is your favorite BIG Picture idea for Huntsville
I believe that I have a worthy consideration to make Hsv. a destination site for tourists and locals. Sieverville, TN has both an indoor and outdoor water park which is amazing for the whole family. It's called "Smoky Mountain Resort". We could name ours something like Rocket City Wild. Wyndam Hotel has built this one. We could either contract with them or choose another. Since this is a year round destination it would pay for itself rather quickly. This is a far better idea than many that I have seen and I'm sure there are investors.
I am 68 years old and still see the merits of this project.

Navy Floats Fuel Saving Idea
December 22, 1997
The commander of the Navy's Atlantic Fleet Surface Force is proposing a novel plan for conserving fuel: reward the crew by returning 40 percent of the savings to the ship to buy amenities. Vice Admiral Henry C. Giffin III would have the funds used for such things as better mattresses, new televisions and upgraded computers to let sailors e-mail home.
- In a 1996 study, officials concluded that one particular ship consumed an average of 64,477 barrels of fuel annually.
- But by adjusting its speed and operating routines, it could cut consumption by about 15 percent -- saving $316,840.
- Allowing the ship to keep 40 percent of that would mean a $126,736 reward.
- Preliminary plans call for each of the fleet's 130 ships' fuel consumption to be measured over a five-year period -- after which fuel savings would be calculated based on this benchmark.
Giffin says the project is still in its formative stages and will be subject to some ground rules that are still being devised.

Azealia Banks Will Not Face Criminal Charges For Allegedly Assaulting Bouncer
Azealia Banks will not face criminal charges over an incident last October in which the rapper allegedly assaulted a bouncer at a Los Angeles nightclub. The L.A. City Attorney dismissed the case on Monday due to a lack of evidence.
As Gossip Cop reported, Banks reportedly became "unruly" at L.A. hotspot Break Room 86, and after security asked her to leave, the rapper allegedly pulled a fire alarm while making her exit. She then supposedly attacked a bouncer who tried to stop her, and security footage of the incident was caught on camera.
Initially, a criminal battery report was filed against Banks, but it's now been rejected because multiple other people were involved in the altercation, and it isn't clear who started the fight. Additionally, the bouncer didn't suffer any injuries from the alleged assault.
As Gossip Cop has reported, Banks has been involved in multiple physical encounters over the past few months. Last September, the rapper was filmed getting into a fight with a fellow passenger on a plane. She was recorded punching and spitting in the person's face, and then calling a male flight attendant a homophobic slur after he tried to intervene. The victims declined to file complaints, and Banks didn't face any charges.
Most recently, in December, Banks was arrested outside of a New York City club for biting a female bouncer on the breast. She was later charged with assault, disorderly conduct, and harassment. That case is still pending.

Before you start reading, let me go ahead and tell you that this article is computer related but not specifically gaming related. You're now free to ignore this is you would like to do so. If you have a lot of things you value on machines on your home network but don't have a backup, sharing, or disaster recovery plan for your home PC's then you might want to go ahead and read this and think about implementing it.
For those of you that are computer competent but not computer savvy, let me get on my soap box for a second. If you haven't had a hard drive fail, you will. Also, remember that there are two kinds of people when it comes to backing up; those who have religion and those who are about to get religion. Forensic data recovery? Definitely an option. One that starts at about $1500 for a damaged hard drive. You might find it easier, less expensive, and more calming to your soul to have plans like these in place. I've been sweating this at my house for a little while so I decided to take action.
This past weekend, I re-purposed an older computer (Pentium 4 processor, about a gig of RAM, and some largish hard drives) as a new server for the house. To facilitate this, I decided to use the new Microsoft Home Server OS. This OS is based on Windows Server 2003 so it has a pretty well-tested and well-used core to it.
The reason I decided to do this is simple. We have three machines that we pretty much use every day plus a TiVo, Wii, and XBox 360. Tarkheena and I both have gaming rigs that we play on plus I have a utilitarian machine that also has Photoshop and Office along with a larger second hard drive where I was storing photos, videos, and our digitized music collection. About a year ago, Tark and I sat down with three desktops and our two notebooks at the time and ripped all of the CD's we own into a directory on that machine. I then duplicated that on another machine for backup. So a few thousand songs, a few thousand photos, screenshots from games that we have played (not including hundreds of EQ screenshots that were on a HDD that failed without backup) and a bunch of other stuff like backups of my Vanguard site and the like are all sitting on these computers in shared folders and duplicated for the most part onto other drives. Duplication and lack of duplication abound. Oh, yeah. The simple reason to do the Home Server? I want data security and I'm tired of managing it myself manually. The Server offers automatic backup and disaster recovery, automatic load-balancing among the drives, a central place of all of our shared files, streaming of media files, plus internet access to both shared files on the server and to our own machines via remote access.

Wedding Guest Transport Service in a Party Atmosphere by Nightcruiser
One of the first decisions a Maid or Matron of Honour must make about the Hen's
Party is what type of outing to plan.
Discuss this with the bride and you'll also find that the
Nightcruiser Crew can assist instantly with many ideas.
It is a good idea to hold your hen's party at least one or two weeks before the wedding.
Hens Nights are legendary with Nightcruiser who have the greatest choice.
We organise free VIP entry to all the venues plus special arrangements for and on your behalf.
Nightcruiser Crew have prepared the Hens Contract/Oath
of Secrecy and hope that it will add a little more fun
to your Hen Night/Arvo with Nightcruiser.

There will be, in no way, pictures with
boys, men, or any animals while the
Nightcruiser Hen Night/Arvo party is in
progress. Failure to follow this rule
will automatically make you lose your
Diva status for the weekend.
You will consume alcoholic
beverages and promote drunkenly
misconduct in the safest and most
appropriate fashion. If you have a note
from a doctor, you are excused from
drinking but you must still promote
animalistic behaviour.
You must never leave a single

boys-men who are termed as Vultures,
Sharks, Pigs, Tools for Procreation…etc.
A Diva who has too much alcohol

Speed up Windows Flip 3D
Windows Flip 3D, which gives you a pop-up preview of all your open windows, is one of Windows Vista's coolest new features -- but if your hardware isn't up to snuff, its operation can be jagged and sluggish.
With a Registry tweak, you can speed it up and smooth its animations by limiting the number of windows it will display.
>> Launch the Registry Editor by typing regedit at the Start Search box or a command prompt.
>> Navigate to
>> Create a new DWORD value and name it Max3Dwindows.
>> Set the value to the maximum number of windows you want displayed. If you have severe performance problems, set it at 4; you can always re-edit and up the number later.
>> Exit the Registry Editor.
For the change to take effect, you'll need to either restart your PC or restart Vista's Desktop Windows Manager (DWM). To do the latter, launch an elevated command prompt (which means you're operating the command prompt with administrator rights) by typing cmd in the search box and pressing Ctrl-Shift-Enter. Type net stop uxsms and press Enter. Then type net startuxsms and press Enter. Windows Flip 3D will now be sped up.
With the new settings in effect, Windows Flip 3D will display only the number of windows you've told it to. If you have six windows open and your set maximum is four, only four will be displayed at a time. As you scroll through your windows, each new one will replace an old one.

Small Pond – The Four Directions
Our client wanted a circular pond that would incorporate the Native American symbolism of the circle and the four directions. The original pond (installed by a well-intentioned, "do-it-yourself-er") was literally falling apart due to the use of the wrong liner, poor construction, and raccoon damage. Sand and river rock were used to hide the plastic liner, and over time, most of the sand washed into the little pond. The plastic liner was disintegrating from UV exposure, and the raccoons had devoured the fish and snails, and dug out the water plants in the process. Pictured below, Joyce (our client) and I survey the old pond and talk about options. West Coast Building Stone. In addition to its beauty, the weight of the stone makes a great anchor for the pond liner, and the thickness makes it easier to keep the water level somewhere close to the middle of each stone (versus having some stones completely submerged, and others high and dry). For the compass points, we used smaller pieces of flagstone set just a bit higher, to be above the water line. For the center focal point, we used a very nice piece of metal art that was also used in the old pond. We used two stacks of pavers to support the flagstone base, just at the water surface. We coiled copper tubing through the statuary, and hooked a pump to it (hidden under the flagstone) for a splash of water. In spring, we will finish planting the bed at the perimeter of the pond, and Joyce will start restocking her plants and fish.Leslie and I started by ripping out all of the old materials, and digging out a much more geometrically accurate circle. To define the circle, we decided to use a snapped stone (stone that is hydraulically broken into pieces suited for wall block) supplied by

Unanswered: Query analyzer freezing
My 2000 sp3 sql analyzer keeps freezing when closing a window. This is not during a query, and I may not have even edited anything. The entire app will freeze, and after hitting the close button several times, it will get around to an "End Task" popup, and finally close. Doesn't happen every time, doesn't happen with the same number of windows open or the same query open. I have unloaded, reloaded, etc...Still occurs. Any ideas? TIA.

I work with this Armenian woman. She's really sweet, and she's a great cook.
She lives in Reseda, and doesn't know of any place in Glendale that she could really recommend.
I want the best but I'm talking about living on a blue collar budget. I would love to find a place that is typical of what a Armenian grandmother would make her family on special days, or just dishes that make you think of when you were a kid. Not just kabobs.
Details too appreciated as well!
This should be a great thread!

Go easy on senior Bush administration politicians and lawyers who authorized and justified harsh interrogation techniques and who actively misled the nation about the grounds for invading Iraq; we must protect them from prosecution and investigations, lest they and their allies suffer embarrassment, lest we appear vengeful, lest they oppose our legislative agenda, and lest our overseas enemies get wind of the enormity of their crimes. Ditto on the CIA agents, miltary officers, and contractors who participated in harsh interrogation. Also, we must retain support of the military and inteliigence agencies. Have pity on the Republicans who suffered electoral setbacks; we must protect them from embarrassing revelations about deregulation, corruption, climate change, election fraud, no-bid contracts, criminal negligence about reacting to warning about the 9/11 attacks, criminal incompetence about the response to Hurricane Katrina, and other Bush era crimes and mismanagement for which they bare some responsibility. Show mercy for the capitalists who are suffering reduced income from the subprime crash; we must redress their terrible loss by bailouts for AIG, Wall Street, and bankers, both domestic and foreign, lest they stop investing in America and hiring workers. Show understanding for the insurance companies, drug companies, hospital corporations, and medical specialists who are being blamed for the health care crisis; we must shun single-payer healthcare, though it is cheaper and more effective than the current market-based system, since America must build on what already exists and can't abandon so many companies and employees. Show mercy for the poor arms dealers, who face reduction in military spending; we must continue to spend as much on defense as the rest of the world combined, and we must expand the number of overseas bases beyond the current count of 1000 (see this article). Reason to use: protect America from terrorism. (Also: death threats, but don't tell people about that one!) Be patient with the rich folk who face calls for a return to high taxation; we must overlook the $14 trillion deficit and the increasing concentration of wealth, lest they move all their money to Swiss banks.

Contemporary knowledge about God, Evolution, and the meaning of human life.
Methodology of spiritual development.
Sexology/With Whom?
With Whom?
Without getting to know sexual harmony, a person is unlikely to evolve correctly, let alone to create a happy family!
Therefore, in order to become a stable and harmonious couple both partners have to obtain some prior sexual experience — of course, taking all necessary safety measures against sexually transmitted diseases and regarding contraception (prevention of unwanted pregnancy). Gaining this kind of experience per se must not be considered as a "sin" (see [20] for detailed account of what is not allowed in sexual relations in the face of God).
Let sex not turn into a mere amusement! Let it not be a means of satisfaction of one's lust (egotistic sexual passion)! But it is ethically "legitimate" if used as a way of expressing and giving one's love and as a way of searching mutual harmony.
Yet it makes sense to give one's love in its sexual manifestation only to worthy partners.* But how can one get to know beforehand who is worthy?
For this it would be very helpful to study and to understand the philosophy of our existence on Earth, in particular to know the meaning of our lives and the laws of the Evolution of Consciousness. (One can read about this in the books [15-23,87-88]).
After reading these books one can understand that people differ by their evolutionary age. And this determines the spiritual potential of every person. Knowing one's own position on the "stairway" of spiritual ascent as well as the positions of other specific people allows one to better determine whom one can help and from whom one can learn.
Of course, when I say "learn", I do not mean sex. As we evolve, we learn almost everything from one another. And if we do not just seek a momentary entertainment in our sexual relations but try to establish long lasting and serious contacts — this allows us to get to know other people's experience, to add something to our own, and to share ours experiences with others.
It is very useful to learn to fall in love with people, to merge by souls with others. This will help us in the future to merge by the soul with our Main Beloved!
* * *
One of my female acquaintances — a physicist with a university degree — told me, "I had — at different times — many men. And I am grateful to each of them for what I learned from them."
I liked these words.
Her next man, though, turned out to be an experienced drug addict, who believed that he walks his "spiritual path" with the help of drugs. And she started to learn from him… I never saw her again since…
I do not recommend that anyone follow the latter example.
However, this would not have happened to her if she had known the meaning of her life and been familiar with the methodology of spiritual self-development.
* * *
Many people suffer because they cannot become sexually attractive or desirable, or because they cannot create a family. Hence they have depressions, suffer from alcoholism or other addictions, commit suicide...
Yet the correct solution of this problem is very simple: one just needs to "open" the anahata and start to develop oneself as a spiritual heart. Thanks to this — in a very short period of time — a radical change of the whole appearance of a person, including his or her face, happens. One's behavioural reactions change as well since this person does not perceive the surrounding world as a hostile environment anymore! One's bioenergy field acquires the properties thanks to which others begin to enjoy communication with such a person and start to be attracted to him or her…
And this situation can be improved even more if one begins to preach this simple truth to others…

Mrs Merkel's intriguing concession
Cynics would say it was the ultimate "counter-indicator". The US rating agency, Standard & Poor's has put 15 countries including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Luxembourg on "credit watch negative", on a day when many in the financial markets had started to believe that an end to the Eurozone crisis was now in sight.
Such an announcement would mean that there was a one in two chance that those countries would see their credit rating fall within 90 days.
Those same cynics would say it's a safe bet that the rating agency will turn out - once again - to be behind the curve. We just don't know whether it's today's optimistic curve - or the curve of Euro doom which markets have been on for some time.
Credit risk
Apart from the timing, what's interesting about this decision is that it makes explicit something that I and others have found troubling about the discussions of France and the potential loss of its Triple A credit rating, as a result of continued turmoil in Europe.
The missing piece in these discussions was that there were circumstances in which you could imagine France losing its top credit rating - but nearly all the scenarios in which you could imagine it doing so would be ones in which the viability of the eurozone itself was also considered to be at risk. In such circumstances, Germany and other parts of the "core' would surely be at grave risk of losing their top credit ratings as well. Presumably, this is part of S&P's rationale in choosing to consider these countries as a group. It was, for example, an unspoken subtext of the latest report on France from their rival, Fitch.
Before this news, the bond markets seemed to believe that Chancellor Merkel had ceded some important ground in her summit with President Sarkozy, declaring that private investors would not be asked to contribute to future eurozone bailouts. But they are giving Mrs Merkel, and the rest of the eurozone, the benefit of an enormous amount of doubt.
Special case
As Robert Peston has noted, Italy has been the chief beneficiary: the interest rate on Italian ten year government debt has fallen by more than half of a percentage point. The explanation being offered that investors now see less chance of being roped into a restructuring of Italy's debt, because Chancellor Merkel has said that the Greek case - where the value of privately held government debt is being slashed - will be a "one-off".
This is intriguing, for several reasons. The first point of interest is that European leaders - including the German Chancellor - have been saying that Greece was a special case, ever since the Greek restructuring deal was first announced. In fact, a sentence along these lines has been in nearly every communique or eurozone press conference since the special European Summit in July.
Another reason for intrigue is that the French and German leaders also confirmed today that the European Stability Mechanism would come into being sooner, by the end of 2012, rather than in July 2013.
At one level, you can see why this would encourage investors. The ESM has the potential to be bigger, and better, than the current European rescue fund, the EFSF, which relies on a system of guarantees by governments. In contrast, the ESM would have actual capital: E80bn paid in up front by governments, and E620bn in so-called "callable" capital. Legally, it would thus be a shorter leap for the ESM to borrow - like a bank - from the ECB, and then lend on to individual governments.
But at German insistence, the creation of the ESM is also going to come with new "collective action clauses", written into all new eurozone government debt with a maturity of more than one year. The whole point of these clauses is to make it easier for private investors to share the burden of future bailouts.
Sharing the burden
So, on the face of it, the financial markets have reacted enthusiastically today to the German Chancellor repeating what she's said before about Greece being a special case, at the same time as reaffirming a new approach to bailouts which explicitly paves the way for more private sector burden-sharing in the future. What gives?
What gives, I'm told, is that the Chancellor has agreed that the ESM will not be required, in the case of future bailouts, to make use of those collective action clauses. But those clauses will still be there, to make private sector involvement an easier - and certainly cleaner - option in the new look eurozone.
You can see why markets would be pleased that eurozone governments in future will be punished automatically if they borrow too much, and by today's confirmation that the ESM will be up and running ahead of schedule. If this kind of "fiscal pact" unlocks more action from the ECB - either at Thursday's meeting, or sometime soon - then that would be good reason for market cheer as well - at least in the short run. (As you know, there would still be plenty of long-term questions about where the eurozone's economic growth is going to come from - but you'll be relieved to hear that I'm not going into that again here.)
But to believe that Chancellor Merkel's comments about private sector involvement are a game-changer, you have to believe that she is saying, in a roundabout way, that all eurozone sovereign debt will be collectively guaranteed by member governments. This, in a press conference in which she again rejected the creation of common eurobonds, and persuaded President Sarkozy to do the same.
Perhaps it's all in the wording. Perhaps, common eurobonds "are not the solution to this crisis", as President Sarkozy said, but Chancellor Merkel is saying that they, or some other form of collective guarantee, could be the solution to the next one. But, to go back to where I began, investors are giving the French and German leaders the benefit of a lot of doubt.
The first version of the eurozone had fiscal rules that were not enforced, and an explicit legal ban on sovereign bailouts that wasn't enforced either. In the eurozone Mark II, investors seem to believe that fiscal rules will be enforced, but the new rules for punishing private sector creditors will not.
Well, I said it was intriguing.

If you are an avid tourist and have not travelled across South India, you are definitely missing out on an experience that is amazingly beautiful. The lush green pastures, soothing sea beaches and exquisite temples of the region truly make it a memorable area to be explored and remembered for a lifetime.
Still, most people find a trip to South India particularly expensive when it comes to travel, boarding and lodging. Also, finding eateries offering healthy food at affordable prices in the tourist destinations over there too remains a challenge, like anywhere else in the world. So let's know a few rarely known secrets that may help you a great deal in planning a holiday in South India that will be loved by both your pocket and your senses at the same time.
Evade Peak Season: Southern Indian states have a relatively hot and humid atmosphere when compared to their northern or central counterparts, which makes them an avoidable destination during summers. Winters are especially found to be pleasant in South India, hence the peak season for South Indian tourism begins in December and ends after January every year. It is during these months that the prices for everything right from hotel charges to ferry or taxi fares surge considerably, quite naturally to make up for the losses incurred during lean periods. But this is where you can act smart and cut down on your expenditures. Try to plan your South India tour during early November or late February any year, and you will not only save your money, but will enjoy to the fullest. Go For Beach Huts & Lodges: If you are not very particular about staying in a star hotel, then the highly affordable beach huts and lodges of South India might turn out to be a great place for you to stay overnight. More often then not, they are appropriately clean and tidy, offer a comfortable feel and cost as low as Rs. 100 to Rs. 150 a night.
Turn Vegetarian, Spend Less: If you can't do without gourmet food, you can treat yourself with a regular buffet featuring a comprehensive menu at any decent hotel across the South Indian states between Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000 a meal. But if you really aim at spending less and still not missing out on the mouth-watering delicacies this wonderful area has to offer, a vegetarian thali costing less than Rs 100 must be your choice of food. These thalis comprise an assortment of extremely delicious South Indian vegetarian dishes, and will in no way satiate your taste buds any less than the non-vegetarian platters. Bargain Is The Keyword: Whether you're moving in and around the South Indian cities or towns through auto-rickshaws or buying the exquisite local handicrafts, you must always keep it in your mind that initial prices are almost invariably hiked for the tourists, and bargaining will definitely make you pay much less than what you were initially asked.

Hi joeybella1777, I agree with the other member... codeine is probably causing your itching and redness. I have the same problem when I take codeine. The funny thing is, I can take the hydro-codeines and have no problem. If you are taking Tylenol 3, which has codeine in it, you may be able to get your doctor to change you to Vicodin 5/500. It is synthetic codeine and it may work out better for you as it did for me... Good Luck!

Hi Those silly daft jokes are just good jokes that i have remembered over the years. Some of them from forty of fifty years ago. I made one of the jokes up myself about the woman who goes to the Doctor and says my Guitar playing hubby prefers his band to me and i hate him. The Doctor says "You must be off your rocker." Pretty lame, isn't it? All the others i thought were worth retelling and hubpages is a good forum for them. The bigger question is when are you going to have a go and publish your first hub? Cheers my friend and good luck with your writing.

No, Nicola does not think the police are hiding the CCTV.
The Police are doing their absolute best to find Corrie but that is being constrained by the resources they have.
The Police informed Nicola that they were to let somebody sit down to let her watch the CCTV that would mean that somebody wasn't reviewing the CCTV so effectively it would be hampering their investigation by asking to see the CCTV.

Sweet, Darrah join Pittman as first teammates to finish 1-2-3 in World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series competition.
CALISTOGA, Calif. - April 6, 2014 - Kasey Kahne Racing dominated the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series weekend at Calistoga Speedway as Daryn Pittman put the finishing touches on a masterful Sunday night for the three-car team.
Pittman led teammates Brad Sweet, who won Saturday night, and Cody Darrah to the checkered flag at picturesque half-mile Calistoga in California's mountainous wine country to become the first teammates in series history to sweep the top three finishing positions.
Darrah and his Kasey Kahne Racing with Mike Curb Ollie's Bargain Outlet #4 led the field to green and built a lead while the field raced side-by-side behind him, including a duel for fourth between Saldana and two-time champion Jason Meyers. The two swapped positions several times before Meyers took the position on lap eight as Pittman and Sweet set their sights on Darrah.
Nine laps into the 25-lap feature the leaders hit traffic, with Darrah moving through the first few cars while Pittman was unable to make a move. On lap 11 Pittman started weaving through the traffic and began tracking down Darrah. Two laps later Sweet had caught the leaders, battling with Pittman back and forth before Pittman moved ahead and started reeling in Darrah.
Pittman closed within a car length on lap 15 and on lap 17 went to the bottom in turn three and made the line stick to pass his teammate coming out fourth corner.
The lone caution of the event was on lap 20 for a slowing Logan Schuchart. When the green flag flew to restart, Sweet went to the top to get a run on Pittman, but Pittman stuck the car on the bottom and took his second win of the season.
"For us to finish one, two, three for our organization is awesome," said Pittman, of Owasso, Okla. "To be leading it makes it that much better. I'd be happy if I ran third to these two guys. Brad [Sweet] has been the car to beat all year so for him to drive by us and for us to get back by him when he made a mistake and missed the bottom is a big win for this team. We haven't been struggling by any means, but we just haven't got the wins and may be the top-fives we think we should be getting. We got lucky we got back by Brad and were able to get the lead and luckily we were able to hold on to it."
Sweet, who also set quick time on Sunday night, followed up his third win of the season on Saturday with a runner-up finish in the SureTestSupplies.com #49.
"It just shows you how great this organization is," said Sweet, who grew up in Grass Valley, Calif. "You know three cars, this isn't an easy competition it isn't easy to come out here and run top three with these guys. Hopefully Kasey's in Texas smiling at us you know watching three cars battle for a win like that. I got by Daryn [Pittman] there for a second and kind found the bottom and then I missed the bottom and kind gave that spot back. The right rear started going down a little low and we were just kind of happy to bring it home in second."
Trying to break up the sweep was Abreu, who continued attacking Darrah all the way to the checkered flag. Darrah was able to hold the position to complete the sweep for KKR.
"With such an open notebook here, everyone can see each other's set-up," said Darrah, of Red Lion, Pa. "I didn't think I was going to get the start. Starting on the bottom all night has been tough, but I got the jump and got out there. I was making pretty good pace, but I got to the back of that lapped car and felt like I wasn't gaining. I started to move around and I put together two terrible laps together there. I didn't see the hole off of two until I got in it and I kind of cheated three and four and really slowed up and Daryn got by us. I felt like our car was good enough to win and I didn't put it together for them. This is awesome to be out here top three with our guys."
Donny Schatz finished ninth in the event and remains the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series championship leader by one point over Pittman. Paul McMahan sits in the third position 26 markers back.
The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series returns to action on Friday, April 11, at Kings Speedway in Hanford, Calif., and Saturday, April 12, at Perris Auto Speedway.

Wellington, 34, finished the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile cycle and 26.2-mile run in 8 hrs 55m 8secs to earn a remarkable fourth crown in five years.
However, she was pushed to the limit throughout and finished just under three minutes ahead of Australia's Mirinda Carfrae. Incredibly, Wellington clawed back a 22-minute deficit at the start of the final transition.
Wellington, who missed last year's race due to illness, ran the last 100 yards with a huge Union Jack and burst into tears at the finish. Britain's Leanda Cave was third in 9:03:29.
"This race means more to me than anything. It's the sweetest victory - I just proved that anything is possible," Wellington said.
"I had to dig so deep today. I tried to have faith in my body. There were times that my body was going to give up on me.
"I think the hardest victories are definitely the sweetest but to be crowned the Ford Ironman World Champion is the greatest honor."
Wellington, who quit her post as a civil servant before winning her first Hawaii title in 2007, has been in sizzling form throughout 2011. She knocked a minute off her own world record in Germany two months ago and beat her nearest rival by 38 minutes.
In the men's race, Australia's Craig Alexander won his third Ironman world title, setting a course record in the punishing three-phase event.
