| 866667 | 2010-03-21 08:50:00 | I was talking about your response to PCTek saying that i7 is overkill for a gaming rig unless you're relieving one hell of a 5970 bottleneck or something. You said that this was 6 months old and behind the times. I said it wasn't and that you lol-ing at her made you look like a fool. I'm not trying to get into a war with you (not a worthwhile subject to argue about). All I was saying is it's bad form to laugh at senior members with fairly good track records. Unfortunately if you read back it was Pctek that out of the blue posted my rig stats and made it personnel, I just responded to her in kind, a storm in a tea cup. Seems very reasonable to warn high end gamers to start considering there CPU's more seriously (along with GPU upgrade) if they are running duel core's considering recent trends. I wasn't referring to myself, more to PCTek, Wainui, Speedy and the other stalwarts of this site. I meant knowledge, not just post count. 18 Year industry wholesale/Retail hardware experience now Corperate, built and repaired thousonds of PC's. Have MCSE, CCNA, and a few other industry qualifications . oh and far more importantly PC gamer for about 18 years actually maybe more cant remember when the Amiga got retired :P. Dont assume just because someone has 10,0000 posts here they have more "knowledge" than someone with 663 posts, I just tend to dwell in multiple forums time providing. |

Wainui isnt a gamer, speedy isnt a gamer, PCTek isnt a regular gamer So battleneter2 probably has more knowledge about games about them |

But by regular i mean one that keeps up with the latest games I think that's a fair statement as the increase in CPU requirements are really only with the latest games which are mostly co-developed console games. Not everyone has time to play a lot of games or spend time in the community forums. |

| 866672 | 2010-03-22 00:43:00 | There are next to no CUDA utilizing programs that you or I would want to use....snip You know what I want to use? NVidia's upcoming cards are expensive and inferior I agree with expensive, however inferior....PMSL!!...nV has always lead and Fermi will show once again why they are the best. By all means, spend your cash on nVidia. Just know the facts before you get all nostalgic and spend your money on fancy marketing and rubbish products. BM....I shall not be spending any money on Fermi, I have a young family to support, and I am very much up with the fact thanks, no need for the condescending paragraph .. |

| 866673 | 2010-03-22 01:10:00 | Just checked how many apps there are for CUDA, but there are too many, most admittedly are scientific, rest are encoding, rendering or distributed computing..... www.nvidia.com |

| 866675 | 2010-03-22 04:49:00 | You care a lot about this, don't you? I guess so, but have been involved with graphic accelerators for a long time...I was a voodoo fan before the nV destroyed them...my 1st card was a 512KB trident ISA graphic card. I am happy to admit ATi have the best bang for buck and fastest card at the moment, however they have always played catch-up IMO.. |
