Ooo 120fps at 1680x1050 bollocks....
and at half the powerconsumption of a 4870 Impressive
And, as for what tech I bought recently:
- 2x Asus BluRay Rom drives. Installed one already. Loving it. Other one will go into the HTPC.
- 2x WD 250GB 2.5" Scorpio Blue drives (yeah, these ones are going into 360's). Now, what am I gonna do with my 2x 320GB WD Scorpio Blues?
- 2TB WD 5400 Green Drive. For my homemade version of Boxee + TV Tuner/DVR HTPC. Already have a spare 640GB WD Black for the OS drive.

why does there need to be any more of a justification from the consumer?
why do people buy BMW's instead of 2nd hand pug 106's?
cause they want them? oooh, okay. guess that's how the customer behaviour works.
Anyway, people buy BMWs over Pugs because there's a notable difference. Going from 16xMSAA to 32xMSAA and 120FPS to 240FPS does not warrant the extra cost
but then again that's just my opinion. Better things to spend the money on.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
Not too bad, UT3 favors heavily dual-GPU setups. Things get more interesting in newer games tho.Ilocano wrote:

PS my 1TB drive came in the mail today.. installing Windoze as we speak.
Would you honestly be happier if he had just bought a GTX 460? What's your justification for that...
Idk, maybe I'm just growing up and seeing that spending money on a computer is a waste when you're out in the big bad world.
Q9300, 4GB DDR2, 5770 (perhaps 2 come christmas) is gonna do me for at LEAST the next year, perhaps two.

Meh I chose that Benchmark out of the lot for beeing the most commonly used engine in games released recentlyGC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

It is not waste for me. "Big bad world" it sure is, but it has treated me well enough to occasionally afford what I want.Finray wrote:

Especially when I worked my ass off for the money last year.

on that note the 'shitty', non-modular corsair cx600 i whacked in my computer as a quick, cheap solution works just fine...
don't think i'll consider upgrading to the modular 650 or whatever for at least a couple of months...

No Corsair PSU is going to be a bad buy. Some are just better than others
Resistors, thousands of them.

I'll get right on that. When did you become an audiophile?
I Friggin Love The Nhs
when did you fancy yourself as one, by buying glorified skullcandies?
shure make some of the best in-ear earphones. i've had about 4 pairs and they outperform everything i've purchased before.
how do you 'qualify' an audiophile, anyway? does my b&o hi-fi system give me a good reference point? twat

So sorry I'm not up on every set of headphones you've ever bought, how foolish of me. My lack of knowledge on your sound system is also disgraceful or it could be you've never given much of a hint of these things on the forum. Not sure if you get your sad little kicks by lampooning people on forums but you can just fuck off. Twat

hahaha. you're the one who acted like i had to substantiate my 'review' of your new tech with my own tech. i don't care. im not known around these forums for music? ok. you're known for being a retard.
