5850 crossfire or single card for 260 quid

lol.

Kyle, what you said about the misconceptions of 'heat' and 'running hot' ect was spot on. Dont sweat it.

Thanks. :) I'm just confused as to how in Coupe's world, it's classed as trolling, yet what he's doing is fine, and he says he's got better things to do after his big drama. :p
 
That was me that you quoted, not Kylew?.

I've not seen Kylew do this and if he does then I'd ask the same from him as I would with any member acting in the fashion you have been. I've seen you do it in more than this thread and very recently. I calmly asked for normal discussion to return and to drop this green vs red thing. You have every right to continue to act the way you wish but I can only ask politely.

Thanks J.D, this isn't the first time he's done this, not by far. He just can't help himself. There was a thread about getting a graphics card specifically for PhysX, I didn't think it was, so said so, cue Coupe jumping on my post going on about how he doesn't like Eyefinity and that it's rubbish and just a gimmick (he was the first person in the thread to actually mention Eyefinity by the way, it had nothing to do with anything anyone else had said). :rolleyes: :p

So maybe in his eyes, I'm constantly doing "this", in reality, it's actually this situation that's happened in this thread.

No problem kylew. You've been nothing but rational in your disagreement with Coupe69 and his GTX 480 vs 8800GT graph. He just went cwazy (yes I meant "Cwazy" before I get caned by you :p) about it and started being personal although it was a legitimate disagreement. He even agreed with you also which was strange but that then showed his problem was with you and maybe anything AMD related as it certainly looks like that from the posts in this thread alone.

Hopefully he'll either just drop the anger and discuss with respect for other members, then all will be well in the shire. :)
 
Ahh, I seem to remember him now.

I think he tried telling me my GTX260 was faster than my HD5770 once. The funny thing was it was not long after I had done a head to head review with both cards. I even run the tests again (after he kicked up a fuss calling me a liar ) and he still wouldn't have it after being proved wrong.
 
yip im the original poster and this thread got well n truely hijacked. cheers for the advice lads and sorry that guy turned it into a flame war just wanted some advice.

Sounds about right to me. I bet he called you a troll multiple times too?

Yeah, sorry about it, he really can't help himself though, but says it's everyone else. :rolleyes: You have nothing to apologise for of course.
 
looks like its gonna be asus 6950 unlocked to 6970 but not until pay day on the 25th so ill come back to this forum then. The lady wants to go to london for a weekend break so hotel and stuff gonna rook me this month so gfx card has to take a back seat to the ladys wishes:( ill look again again at the 25th see how prices have changed and bang for buck then see if gibbo has any deals on etc and if 6950 can still be unlocked.

Mate you have to keep the lady happy if you want good gaming sessions further down the road :D.

I hope you both have a great time and that you get the card you want come the 25th ;).
 
ye cheers jd. ladys more important than fps :P and its best move in the long run never know prices might fall some more

Aye mate, better games to be played with the missus ;).

I've been shocked at all the price drops recently. I expected some to fall but not like this and with other cards coming (6990 and GTX 595) there will probably be more drops.

At the rate it's been going I'm expecting to see a new thread by Gibbo created whilst I sleep and there being over 700 replies from Gibbo just giving cards away :D. (Go on Gibbo, be more epic) :D.
 
oh jd just realised u live in edinburgh i live in dalry ur just up the road from me

Oh!, nice one :D. So crumpets and tea at yours on Sunday?. hahaha

Well at least that will be handy if a problem ever arises that we need to test a component out or something :). There's been many a time someone has advised to test their equipment in a friends rig to read the reply that nobody has a rig decent enough to try it with.
 
ye if u need mate just message me or add me to steam no probs

Brilliant mate, likewise if you ever need anything then click the trust at the bottom right of my posts and send message and it will come to my email address. Then we can swap details as in MSN, Skype, Steam etc.

I'll also add you as a friend on here so it makes it easier to get a hold of you.
