You both are actually doing the same thing just in different ways. He is much more provocative in his approach and yours is more subtle.
I'm not saying this is a bad thing, just thought it was funny when you said that you hope he was on AMD's payroll. Thread is amusing me though please continue.
the [heck]?
Did I miss something or is this guy just trolling hardcore?
LOL, I'm usually for AMD...but, damn, the guy is on some good [stuff].
Anyway, suck they got delayed. But on the bright side, I'm glad I picked up a 2nd 5850 to CF, should hold me over nicely. :thumbsup:
If AMD isn't paying you, then I really truly feel sorry for you.
I readily admit that I prefer nvidia products. But I don't make trolling accusations about nvidia's competitor's products or employees in attempts to twist discussions and make nvidia look better and I certainly don't take offense to someone else preferring a non-nvidia products. And I often point out strategies or products Nvidia has that I think suck. I have also recommended AMD cards many times on here.
I am, what I would like to think, sensible.

It would have been way smarter, since you bought a card after all, to just buy a 6950 or a 560ti and then get a second such later on.

That's the beauty of multi-GPU to me is to buy a second or third GPU when prices are more affordable at times.
If this keeps going we're going to buy aquariums rather than cases, install the computer in it, and fill it with non-conductive liquid coolant. CPUs and GPUs need coolers, RAM, north & south bridges need heat sinks, why not just do it all with one product? Adding a couple of fishes and a plant would be a nice touch.Or perhaps AMD wants to offer their own cooling solution for the enthusiast market. It doesn't mean every reference 7900 will have a liquid cooler, the basic ones could have the same blower type cooler.
you missed something. Nvidia cards exploded, burned up, just outright died and left their owners in a bad shape, foul mood.
the 590 exploded (exploded refers to components on the PCB of the card)
nvidia drivers killed customers card, this was a spesific driver. dont tell me to give you the spesific driver, find it yourself. Its a fact.
nvidia cards since the g80 series have just burned up, needing to be baked to reconnect bad PCB solders and what not.

From someone who uses multi-gpu and has for a while, this comment is really the antithesis of how you should use multi-gpu. With the fast release cycle of new technology with video cards and the large jumps in performance with each new generation, it doesn't work out in your interest to upgrade this way.
The best way to make use of multi-gpu is to buy the fastest two cards you can afford and buy them together. Preferably when the technology has just been released.
Buying one and planning for another down the road is not a good strategy. There will be a single card at that point that is almost as fast, as fast or faster than the multi-gpu setup, and a single card is preferable to using multi-gpu.
If you want to go SLI or CF, go as big as you can afford and do it when the cards are brand new. You'll get more life and satisfaction out of the setup that way.
Did you ever actually own a 590 and have it explode, or do you just talk out of your ass based on what you read on the internet? The driver you're referring to, I used it and guess what, nothing exploded. I've owned every generation of nvidia hardware since G80 and nothing ever burned up or needed to be baked.
You're just fabricating bullshit, just like all the other people fabricating bullshit against either NVIDIA or AMD without any actual experience.

Well hello there mister high and mighty "ive owned it all".. or atleast thats the arrogant attitude i sense from your top to bottom post.
If we all had to own the hardware we talk about, we wouldnt afford anything else.
If you have no clue as to what im talking about, you dont have a clue as to what im talking about. Leave it at that.

Of course, that's all your miniscule brain could deduce.
