it's more fun this way! What has moderation here given us? The banning of rollo and akshayt 🙁

akshayt got banned.... WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN

i was wondering the same when i saw somebody post about this a few weeks back...

i think he got banned by the MODs when his last thread was locked. may be the mods sent him a PM saying Good bye Silently...

I agree with u Aikouka, and its cause the alot of users on here are children. And the rest are just adults with no lives!

They act as if its the 2nd coming of jesus!


I'd second that i'll throw in 10cents to your penny we'll make it interesting =p

And the funny thing is the Exec's at AMD/NV are just smiling and say " Dance monkey's Dance!"

I 2nd that ^

The retarded fanboy tools here took my posting WAY to seriously and actually thought I was threatening to physically harm them... To clarify, there is a difference between DESERVING and actually committing. Just imagine fanboys as the kids in the supermarket with their mom, screaming at each other, running around like their fruit roll-ups got stolen or something. I usually think, "Those kids need to get their @$$ whipped..." I think of this no differently.

Also, I'm still not sure why people keep posting, "NA UH! DTs website said they were not under any NDA!!!!1111" Well, geniuses, if you believe that crap, you really need to think about what makes them so credible. Newsflash fanboys and girls, not everything you read on the interweb is true.... or is it?

Clearly a good reason for us to believe your complete change of face...

It's funny seeing how passionate we all can get when you remember exactly what we are all arguing about - little plastic boards with bits of metal imprinted onto them that allow us to play out our fantasies on big metal boxes.

Oh, well - at least I haven't heard any accusations of homosexuality or the like. Must be one positive byproduct of the politically-correct 21st century.

Well, to get back ON topic...

There are rumors that the 2900's will launch with EP2 and TF2. Im sure it would be coupons like HL2. Here is a picture of a box from HIS. Also shows HDMI. Probably thru an adapter though. Ive already got a DVI>HDMI adapter for my HDTV years ago. Im ready to have it on the card already.

Of course this is all rumors, no facts behind it yet. Any free game is A-Ok with me. I got HL2 free via coupon before, HL2 looks very good so far. I dont care much for TF2 though, but Im sure lots of people would.

 

[allies]

If it launches with EP2 and TF2, then we'll be waiting for quite a while before it launches 🙂

Though you're right about the coupons - it sucked when I got that coupon and HL2 got delayed.

 

[Ackmed]

Yeah, but a free game is still a free game. I was playing HL2 before anyone who bought it from the store. 😱 Had it pre-loaded forever, waiting...

I donno, TN, this seems more amusing because you can stereotypically see a bunch of nerds in their basement freaking out over reading a post disgracing their "love". I mean picture it... some ATi fan reads this thread and gasps in a girly manner that makes you think he hasn't hit puberty yet... he bites his bottom lip and looks over to his right at a huge ATi poster featuring Ruby. He gently strokes the poster, "It's okay, baby... I won't let them bad mouth you anymore."

Ehh, flames not so much, but this ^^ is hilarious; cookie for you!

AND PORTAL!!! 🙂

Nice deal. But it kinda sucks that Valve still is on ATi's lap / vice versa. Wish they would work a little with nvidia to get their differences settled 😉

Edit: Link is down Ackmed - they must have caught on to you.

Anyways, what videocards are we going to be looking forward to around Christmas time. As I mentioned in a few other threads, I'm not going to be in the States from August 20th - December 15thish. Therefore I'm selling my card before my departure and picking up the latest and greatest when I return.

Hopefully Barcelona Quad Core and R700 (?) will both be out.
