I hope you're being sarcastic

:thumbsdown:

 

[Auric]

Congratulations on the upgrade but why did you have the 5200 in the first place?

 

[nRollo]

LOL- I don't think they're getting it.....

 

[JBT]

You only get 4500 in 3dmark03 with a 9700 Pro??? I relize the benchmark sucks but you should have highier scores than that. My 9500 Pro gets atleast 4400

 

[Acanthus]

hahahaha!! :beer:

 

[modedepe]

Ah damn..I guess that fx5200 I got was the wrong choice

 

[dguy6789]

its a non pro.

 

[BFG10K]

Another example of spam that this forum does not need.

 

[chsh1ca]

Oh come on, NO WAY. ATI must be using some kind of driver-specific optimizations to get that kind of lead!

 

[sandorski]

hehe, settles that once and for all!

 

[ronnn]

Glad to know my 9700pro is faster than something. :beer:

 

[Pete]

Quiet, you fools! The Jetway has ears everywhere!

 

[Sylvanas]

It's at least as relevant as you explaining why 41 ave fps at 10X7 0X0X on a 9800Pro is "superior" to 32 ave fps on a 5900U, as if anyone could play at either ave fps?

Normally I'd agree with you on the forum spam issue, but I found this lol funny.

And Rollo, why don't you learn to STFU for once??? Two and a half years you've been on this forum, ~2500 posts, most all in the video section, at least half of them absolutely worthless, a good chunk of those about an irrelavant 5800 which was obsolete six months before it ever made it to the market. Jeez...do you constantly need to open your trap anytime you see BFG post?

Now...go ahead and tell me what a fanboy I must be.

I've been on this forum longer than two and a half years, and may I suggest some Valium?
I'll stop ribbing BFG when he stops calling me a troll for posting about my experiences with my new video cards in a video card forum? I'm sure he knows that for my part anyway, it's all in fun and I respect his viewpoints even when I don't agree with them.

 

[dguy6789]

Every single one of those benchies are real,I tested them before i posted.

 

[TheAudit]

I would dispute your findings on OCF (Overall Cool Factor).

 

[Zbox]

before reading this I was considering selling my 6800gt and upgrading to a fx5200. very close call... AT saves the day again!

 

[harhar]
