I have always admired the attention to detail that Asus has put into it's boards. They have always been at or near the top of the list for boards that I use when building systems. My first dual GPU system was on an ASUS board. Dual 7900 GTs. It was amazing.
Where to begin? 2GB GDDR5...double what I have now...
Display port...don't have one now.
Higher clock rate...more cores...all around a massive improvement over my Radeon 4870. Sign me up!
Anyone who believed that SB1070 had anything to do with race didn't read it. It had everything to do with enforcing already existing federal law. Mostly because of the explosion of Mexican drug cartel related violence in that state.
Their PSUs are great. The fans, the warranties, the efficiency of them. Oh yeah, and the modular cabling helps to make a less cluttered PC case for better air flow.
I've been a fan of XFX for a while, I love the XXX Editions, the Black Editions, and of course, the double lifetime warranty on their graphics boards. I really like the designs of the coolers, and the fact that they not only don't discourage overclocking, but that they encourage it! :D
So far, I'm really liking what I'm seeing from Galaxy...innovative coolers, and solid cards seem to be the rule rather than the exception. The industry needs more vendors like this.
AFAIK a bill has to pass the House, before it gets voted on in the Senate? Or did I misread my Constitution? Oh wait, we have precedent for that, the TARP....or Trap. So much for defending the Constitution. More like defacing it.
Remember that Blizzard/Vivendi is the larger company and has the controlling interest in this merger. It was announced last year that the name would be Blizzard-Activision, not what's being printed now.
I know for a fact a few of my friends have pirated games, but they buy way more than they pirate. I'm not completely innocent either, but If I didn't like the game, it did not stay installed long, so it was more like a rental from my library than anything else. If I did like it, I wanted a...
Finally a reason besides games to run a quad (8) crossfire setup. I'll take 4 4870 X2 cards and run them into this, and maybe I'll get playable/usable framerates in windows.
I just want everyone here to understand, I agree that EA is a monopolistic company, there are no doubts there. The problem is that the NFL was the one who went looking to sell an exclusive license, it wasn't that EA called them and said here's a bunch of money, we want you all to ourselves, it...
If anyone is still interested in trying this, here is the newegg link for this card:

somewhat under $169.99
This would make sense since TSMC is already making the Radeon chips. At least on the Fusion line it would make sense, maybe not on the Bulldozer line of chips.
