    Hey guys, as you may note from my signature I own an m18x, and us m18x users with 580's have been plagued with DPC latency issues like the m17x R2 and R1 owners have. We thought we would just ask, do you R3 owners experience any DPC latency what so ever?

    Edit: whoops, I thought I posted this in the m17x section, would a moderator be kind enough to move it?

    Anytime :)

    If i had a sick laptop like you, i'd probably go with an usb audio solution to bypass the issue. I know Dell should come up with a solution, but you can get the SB X-fi pro external for less than $50 now...more expensive usb solutions are out there too if you're an audio enthusiast. I hate suggesting throwing more cash at it, but $50-100 on a $3k laptop is nothing and it would solve your issues completely
