I'm sorry if we "gutter trash" use the word "benchies". We will try to keep our salad forks to the right and silver soup spoons to the left and our chins up. And we'll use our noses like the sight on a rifle to look at people when we talk down to them.

We will try harder to live up to your standards. Forgive us.

Well you need to step it up, because your quotation of the term "gutter trash" wasn't required, considering no one said it already and it's a common term.

By the way, your analogy from decent grammar to social snobbery is just wonderful. "Benchies" just sounds childish, too. Hardly an abbreviation, and it's on par with such atrocities as "compy" or "lappy", which are barely a step up from utterances like "huggles".
Click to expand...

man, you need to educate us all to use the 'correct' word for computer terms. i bet you hate the abbreviation 'mobo' for motherboard because it sounds like 'hobo' or worse 'mofo'? and i bet you don't like people calling 'proc' for processor, because it sounds childishly like 'croc' or something else for that matter.

we're not trying to write some term paper here, it's an open forum for god's sake. as long people understand that 'benchies' means benchmarks, the message is clear. no need to argue about that 😀

I think you're giving Turtle much more credit than he deserves. IMO, he was not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. With that said, he was egged on and provoked by certain people here, who then led a campaign to have him banned, which they eventually succeeded at. Just thought you'd like to know that you won't be seeing Turtle here anymore.

Basically agree but think he is very smart, but has some problems with social things. And as you say the environment here is very unforgiving with many attempts to manipulate your emotions. Anyways felt the guy tried hard to be accepted - but no go here.

Yeah, he was just "misunderstood" when he PMd Kevin that he knows where he lives and is coming to beat him.

:roll:

Do you love all psychopaths, or just this one Ronnn? I notice you don't have your email in your profile? What's up? Don't you want your misunderstood nut jobs to be able to email you at home and explain their weird thoughts?

I'm disappointed Ronnn. I think you should put your email in your profile right now, and invite socially inept people to start emailing you at home, starting with your friend and soul mate, the Turtle.

Even though he's banned, I would be happy send him your email if you would kindly send it to me.

I'm sure you two have a lot to talk about, and share many common traits and thoughts. Who knows? As a "pure Aleutian" the Turtle might even live in your neck of the woods Ronnn, and you two could meet and be great friends.

How about it Ronnn- send me that email! I'll get it to your pal the Turtle!

How much does anyone want to bet Ronnn supplies me with no email to send psycho Turtle? I give my word as a scholar and a gentleman I won't send you any email Ronnn, I'll just forward it your buddy.

Rollo, if you're gonna accuse someone of something as serious as that, you need to give their exact quote, not your twisted interpretation of what they said.

Yep, that's a manly cooler for a manly card. Not like the little girly cooler on the GTX with its puny clock speeds. :laugh:

You associate being manly with a video card? lmao.

Back to topic, the core clocked at 625+, i would have to say that the damn card is going to be hot. I wonder if this is going to be another prescott(R520) vs Athlon 64 (G70)

I don't believe they're true.

Could be true.

The thing about percent increase claims like that is you need to know where the numbers are.

If one card is at 10fps and the other at 15fps, the 15fps is "50% faster" which sounds very impressive but means absolutely nothing.

Now change those numbers to 40fps and 60fps, same "50% faster", but now you have reason to care.
 
Tonight I was banned at R3D. I'm pretty sure it was spyre that banned me because he didn't like the x1800xt leaf blower edition picture. 🙁 Sigh some people need a sense of humor.

Certainly is shaping up to be interesting. Ati seems to be claiming more efficient use of pipes, like the amd, but is using higher clock speeds like intel. But I predict that the R520 will be better at rendering graphics than intel and amd together. What is it now 4 days before we get at least some real idea?

Well I heard they were having flame wars also, maybe they felt the need to cool things down? Though not sure why that picture would bother them, the x1800xt is one big card.

I don't get where you're getting these analogies. None of those are consistent with what I've said.

The main problem I have is the "ee" sound being added. Why "benchies"? To me, it just sounds retarded and childish. Just like compy or lappy. And "lappy" isn't even much of an abbreviation, and it makes the user look like they're trying to sound cute, or even cool (in their warped sense of it). Abbreviating it is fine, but it doesn't have to sound like a 5 year old made it up.

How about 90% faster than the 7800GTX in FEAR but very close in HL2? Is that possible?
