Thanks, I checked out the AOgamers server last night, looks decent but never got above 15 people. I'll check out the HotelCA server next time I'm on. I just miss the good ol' days where maps like siege and estate and 747 and backalley got played. Man, if I had the money/interest from others to...

By "good," I mean good map rotation (not just italy, d2, office) and no kind of mods ($16,000 starting cash, zombie, fast respawn, WC2 or whatever). Even AWP/Auto enabled. I just want to play some good, old-fashioned CS and it seems to be near impossible these days.

For me personally, whenever I find myself aggressive and loud in an argument or confrontation, I feel like it stems from the strength of my own convictions in whatever it is I am saying. If you have well-founded principles that define you and that you refuse to compromise on, you will absolutely...

mb, the progress has been slow and steady. My fit tests exercises have either remained where they were or or gone up by up to 5 reps each time I test. As I write this, I'm still sitting soaked in sweat and trying to cool down from a fit test/max interval circuit day, and I think the biggest...

Just to give you a heads up, the Max Interval Sports Training is set up to give you 30 seconds or so after each and every move, rather than 30 seconds after a cycle. Really good for allowing you to really and truly push yourself through each move.

You have to make it part of your routine and stick with it. I'm beginning week 3 of month 2 today. 2 full weeks to go. It hasn't been easy, having to do insanity while hungover or trying to fit it into a busy weekend, but it really has made a difference. You have to grit your teeth and go, and...

Alright sounds good to me. I suppose I can use the money saved from NOT buying the 7870 to put towards an SLI motherboard. Maybe one day I'll actually throw a second 570 in there. I feel like I would definitely need to look at some beefed up cooling in order to do that, though, no?

7850 factory OC is cheaper than the $285 570. Is there a big enough gap in performance to warrant going with the 570? I can't find any benchmarks comparing the two...

Kinda the feeling I got. I guess I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and buy my 7870 at $360. It will suck when I do see prices go down, but knowing what I know now, and being unsure about the timeframe for cuts, I think (read: hope) it's a fine decision.

Now that the 680 has finally hit, how long do you think it will take for AMD to respond with price cuts? I am antsy as hell to finally buy. I'm hoping the 680 forces a price drop in the 79xx, which likewise drops the price of the 78xx. I had initially intended on going for the 7850, but I think...

Do you think the 78xx's would have to follow suit then, as well? Or could AMD keep the 7870 at ~$360? (I'm not too familiar with the %performance difference bwteen the 7870 and the 79xx).

Yeah, in my previous build (4 years or so ago), I had a 8800GTS. I don't know whether or not its in bad shape, seems like everything in my old build broke all the same time (PSU, mobo, and processor). I just don't want to get caught in a cycle of preparing to pull the trigger on a GPU purchase...

What kind of price drops do you expect to see in current AMD and Nvidia cards once the Kepler card(s) finally release, and over what time frame do you expect these drops do occur? Is it safe to expect a drop in the price of the 570/580 fairly soon? Given that AMD just released the 7870/7850...

Build: Cooler Master HAF 912 (2x4GB) G.Skill Ripjaws series RAM i5 2500k Hitachi Deskstar 750GB Waiting for Kepler before deciding on a video card and motherboard, but maybe either that or a GTX 570/560. Leaning towards an ASRock z68 extreme 3 gen3. Right now, I have a 120mm rear exhaust fan...
