@happy_medium You worded your post quite oddly and even the little emoticon makes it difficult to what you are getting at. When you say look at nVidia's minimums you are automatically making a comparison with AMD cards on the chart because both GTX 570/GTX 580 are nVidia cards so they fall under the blanket statement nVidia's minimums. The question that arises in the readers mind is "Look at nVidia's minimums compared to what?" - The only other cards on the charts are AMDs.
To further dig into your statement you say "look at nVidia's minimums" despite disproving Castiel's post that GTX 570 wasn't worth 349$ with the information on the chart. There is no reason for you to point out the minimums because obviously a GTX 570 that is overclocked performs higher than a GTX 580 therefore the minimums are also higher (the chart supports this), the only conclusion we can make from this statement is that you are comparing them to AMD cards because they are preforming poorly in the chart.
Finally, you put this emoticon "" that says Colbert when you hover over it. Whether this has anything to do with comedian - I don't know but what I can tell is that the emoticon does not look amused. The proper emoticon to use would be :thumbsup:, as you have just proven that a cheaper GTX 570 can preform as well as a GTX 580 which shows approval or even ,, would be clear and concise.
In conclusion, what I am trying to get at is that you, blatantly calling other users trolls is unacceptable because your original post is very vague and many people can take it the wrong way. If people interpret it wrong, don't attack them, correct their mistake in a civil manner.
TL;DR : happy_medium's post is too vague and his attack on another user is unnecessary.
Yes I was bored at looking at OCCT to I decided to post this.
