128-bit memory buses sadly can't cope with highly modded prettified Skyrim plugins, tho. outside of that, tho, 128-bit can be pretty decent for their price point (7790, and more recently the 750/750Ti). it's like the Ti4200 days!
what driver issues? i have yet to see gaming related drivers issues...
launch day games i've tried with no issues on my 5870 include BF3 (includling "paid beta"), Sup Com 2, Starcraft 2a, Portal 2, Crysis 2 trial, NFS: Shift, Metal Gear Rising, Borderlands 2, Skyrim*, Train Simulator 2014* (* = launch + 1 month)
only issues i've had were a few demoscene nvidia-favoring demos and bitcoin-related OpenCL driver combinations.
i highly doubt it is ACTUALLY 2000 lumens, unless you bought a tens of thousands of dollars, or even a hundred thousand dollar Christie or other high end for a 150-200"+ screen...
from Pixar-sponsored scene.org, check out (2011) Numb Res by Fairlight (yes, that one) and CNCD; requires DX10 (or check out 2010's Agenda Circling Forth without the GPU-crushing endbit)... Epsilon (2011, 64k) for tasty ray tracying (or google "pouet photon race 2")... (2010, best effects) FR-063 also has GPU physics. and (2009, 4k) Elevated has an insane amount of content for 4k.
other than Rage, i haven't come across any game-interrupting issues. and i was even running old-ass drivers most of the time (6-9 months old usually).
i always bring up launch day/early access games i haven't had issues with: the Crysis 2 demo, Starcraft 2, BF3, NFS: Shift, Alan Wake, Supcom 2. sadly, i was a bit late with Skyrim, getting in at v1.2.
this made me wonder if the Pi supports monitors without HDCP (btw, it SEEMS to). for example, the Boxee is notorious for not liking HDCP-less monitors.
i second this. were they your own encodes? Lame 3.98 is pretty much the best MP3 encoder out there. there are some compiles of it that you just drag a WAV (not sure about FLAC) onto it (lamedropXPd). make sure you're using V2 quality, if not V0.
if you can hear the difference, well, i tip my hat.
