static

I have been having a problem with my computer where I am constantly getting static from the point I turn on my PC.

I have changed Towers, Hard Drives, added and removed a Sound Blaster Xtreme Sound Card, used 3 different Headsets, and 2 sets of speakers. Lately I have noticed random dips in my frame rates when playing games.

Is there any possibility that the graphics card could be causing the static with the possibility of it needing to go in for repairs?

Specs:

i5-3570K 3.40 GHZ
Gigabyte GTX 570
8GB of Corsair Ram
MB ASUS|P8Z77-V Z77
3TB Seagate Barracude HDD
Rosewill 850W PSU
Corsair A70 Heatsink

Simplex noise vs Perlin noise

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I would like to know why Perlin noise is still so popular today after Simplex came out. Simplex noise was made by Ken Perlin himself and it was suppose to take over his old algorithm which was slow for higher dimensions and with better quality (no visible artifacts). Simplex noise came out in 2001… >>> More
