With a cleverly thought up nickname, "The Green Machine" comes the irony... It's not a very green machine at all with a pretty hefty TDP and stove/heater all rolled into one!
I have my 7300GT chugging (and humming) quite nicely as I type my neat little post on this lovely PC hardware site (+1) and I have never had a problem with it... Only its roommate, Celeron sitting in the 775 socket just moved out and a nifty lil' Pentium 4 with its extreme attitude and single-core POWER!
oh shi-, this is 2010 right?
My new PC (almost done) features a 550w PSU which accommodates a HD5770, a 870G Motherboard and, assuming I aquire more money, a Phenom II X6 1055T. all for a neat package of NZ $750(**** knows how much $US)
Give me one good reason why I should fork out NZ $800 for this Nuclear Reactor of a card? (**** Nuclear btw). Oh, get a GTS250 instead? how about I just grab the most venerable G92 (8800GT) and put it through my washing machine a few times?
Nvidia were telling me months ago that "DX11 cards aren't worth buying at the moment, buy our PhysX capable DX10.1 cards what are totally worth it!". I actually quote this from a press release from Nvidia in case you were wondering you Nviditrolls. Now they want to trade their card for the contents of your home.
On this note, the 4870X2 seems to be under a bit of flak from the Nviditrolls. Realistically, you get these type of cards if you want them, can afford them and want to have ultimate bragging rights. (My mate kindly likes to reinforce that his computer waits for my computer to drop the soap in the shower block)
for the Green Goblins who have invaded these pages and their narrow minded brains:
4870X2 has two GPUs, runs hot and drinks Watts because of it. not to mention 55nm. GTX 480 has one GPU, lives in a sauna and skulls down Watts because it is the most MANLY Single GPU card IN THE UNIVERSE GRRRR!
To the Red Retards (hehehee...):
Don't start the flame wars. It's like prodding a beehive with a stick, a whole swarm attacks you! Also, you are forgetting that 2000/3000 series was a complete joke, 4000 series was AMD coming out of the closet and 5000 series "OH, HEY GUYSSSS!"
Best part about this whole reply is that I don't care about any pathetic, dumb fanboys who think I'm wrong, 'cause I am right and I have my fingertips placed inside my ears LALALALALA...
Its funny because its so true! Well done I enjoyed that.
