Yup, but apparently its important to "some", ala the ones tying to score points in a debate that nobody really gives a flying **** about. Apparently one being shinier than the other is an essential bullet point on the list of the more discerning knob.

It honestly reminds me of how Apple owners used to crow about Apple's use of aluminium in their laptops\phones and suddenly anything else was being as fit for peasants and nothing less. Aesthetics in a card you're only gonna see the top of, oh yes priority number one that.

I think Ryan at PcPer said they are due around the same time as release or thats what they told him. Although if thats true surely putting an NDA on drivers would do more harm than anything else?

I just thought the picture was funny.
Some people here are way to serious
We have GTX 780, HD 7950 3GB, HD 7850 2GB, 4770K, 5800K here. Have no bias to either side, but I do enjoy the banter between sides, it's the serious ones that come across as knobs imho.

Couldn't give a monkeys what's in my system either, I buy what I want at the time be it team green or red. But the levels of fanboyism in this forum are steadily getting higher as the months roll on, not where it was at a lot of years back where the gfx subsection was actually shut down for a few days because of it, nor do I want to see it get there again.

Always look forward to a new release myself even though at the minute I can't be arsed with gaming. Just interesting to see how things pan out.

It's because of CPU bottleneck. As for the few fps difference, just consider them margin of error.

You do know that is fully possible and in fact common over the years. When you hit a cpu limit in a game add another card, the driver has more work to do with extra cards. So if you were cpu limited, add a card, you increase the driver work load and decrease the cpu available for the game.
A non cpu limited game it won't happen, a cpu limited game it can easily happen.
