Nooooo...

By the way, I have a GTX580

"It's okay for me to ***** about NVIDIA, because I have a GTX 580. I'm allowed to that. It's a GTX 580 owner's club privilege. You ******* ATI owners better not do it or there'll be hell to pay. ********!!!"

That made me chuckle.

Helios1234 · 8 Feb 2012 at 21:54

Exactly!

My gtx480 gave the biggest muppet factor I've had in five years.
