| 866646 | 2010-03-18 10:41:00 | The shop I was going to buy it off already sold it to someone else, it was their last one and I missed their email :( :( Maybe I'll just get the HD5770, I'll probably have to, now. Have a look at post 33 in this thread. |

| 866648 | 2010-03-18 11:24:00 | The relevant post was Post #1 in which you asked a question. All answers from there on are not relevant as you did not take some advice given or you asked a rhetoric question in the first place. As you describe yourself as a Computer "Specialist" then why ask? |

| 866649 | 2010-03-18 12:51:00 | I don't even know why I'm bothering to reply, but here goes: The relevant post was Post #1 in which you asked a question. Yet you told me to refer to post #33... not to mention the post in which you told me this, doesn't make sense considering the post you quoted from me. Basic idea seems to be: Me: Oh no, I missed out on buying an HD4890 because it got sold to someone else. Damn. You: Keep wondering, or make a decision! Doesn't really follow, does it? All answers from there on are not relevant as you did not take some advice given or you asked a rhetoric question in the first place. All answers are relevant in some way, and most provide information which is useful in making a decision. Hence my question "Which would you recommend and why?" I am not going to blindly buy a card because someone says I should. I want to know WHY that card is considered good. After thinking a while and reading these posts, I came up with the conclusion that the HD4890 was the best suited. I then proceeded to try and buy one, however as I previously stated, that didn't go so well, hence the statement "I might have to get an HD5770 instead" Which advice was that? The advice to get a HD5770, an HD4890, or an HD5870x2? Yes, I will take all those advices and buy all three cards, that makes so much sense. As you describe yourself as a Computer "Specialist" then why ask? Back on this again? I thought I explained this to you already, last year. pressf1.co.nz |

| 866650 | 2010-03-18 13:03:00 | The relevance of my post #33 was related to the fact that you spent too much time wondering and not enough time doing so therefore you have to re asess the situation and settle for whatever. You explained a little last year in that thread but not to my satisfaction then you say in that one that you sent a PM. |

| 866651 | 2010-03-18 18:56:00 | Now there's something I see a lot with generic "gaming" machines. If I was going to use a top CPU I'd pair it with the top graphics card. GPU first, then CPU. Always. CPU first for gaming is pointless. lol well for a start your knowledge of PC gaming is about 6months outdated 50%+ of the latest big releases are basically console ports with massive CPU usage, probably due to some sort of Xbox360 code emulation bridge or simply crap coding. if you are running a higher end dual core and a mid to high end SLi or CF your CPU is going to bottleneck you. That statement would not have been true 6 months ago, things have changed, time to catch up old chap! :) |

I said GPU first then CPU . If we only cared about Console Ports we wouldn't bother gaming on the PC at all, we'd own a console instead . And why would we be running SLI or CF now if GPU isn't important . Geez . You buy what you like, I upgrade GPUs before CPUs . |

You buy what you like, I upgrade GPUs before CPUs. CPU is FAR more important than it was 6 months to a year ago. Just hope your not selling your customers Dual cores and high end GPU's for gaming rigs lol Welcome to PC gaming in the late 2009+ and on, didnt say I like it!!, but things have changed. However have to admit Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 were pretty dam good, so its not all bad. Sumpreme Commander 2 is a crap console dumbed down turd fest. For the record I am wating on Fermi although GPU requirements seem to be going backwards recently with these latest games, not even sure I need to upgrade my GPU any time soon :P |

You explained a little last year in that thread but not to my satisfaction then you say in that one that you sent a PM. I was waiting for enough information to make an informed decision.. once I had done that I was too late by a matter of hours to grab the last HD4890 in stock... So I have gone to the next best card, the HD5770 which I ordered today and will probably get by next Monday. My point is that the title Computer "Specialist" is a joke. I am not trying to say I know everything, I am saying that actually I don't know everything, despite having a large interest in computers and spending a lot of time with them etc. |
