Here was me thinking this was about graphics cards :s

 

[Fulax]

My speakers cost £7 and I've had them for 6 years. Let's get back to the graphics.

Can I have that lisp in astoundsound plz.

 

[malachi]

....Cows and Bee's sound effects......

Brown pants time.

So...it beats a stock 7990 then? We shall see soon enough!

 

[Craterloads]

It's not extreme pre-set, that's pretty much certain. More likely performance pre-set which seem a little underwhelming but depends on price.

 

[Suarez7]

I think they really do mean firestrike extreme folks. That is the main news for me.

I hope it is true as that's incredible if the price is around £500, but at the moment I just cant see how.

 

[Mr Paul]

I'm happy sound and GFX card in one, cool!

 

[churchhawk]

This is too funny, its just surround sound, we've had this crap for years

 

[LtMatt]

I JUST HEARD A COW. MOOOO.

 

[hideki]

The sound of tumbleweeds, not the demo just the crowd.

 

[Nelly]

It's a Bullseye....! With your host! Jim Bowen!

Is the stream in mono? Can't hear anything special. Anyway I had a sound card offering surround sound on stereo way back in the 90's but can't remember the name. Not that impressed.

 

[Zeed]

on headset it sound weak....

 

[Boomstick777]

What was the price of the 280?

$299, OCUK price £399.

Just kidding

 

[Quicken]

I am now listening to a cow and crow - awesome ;-(

 

[Besty]

ok so just to put that score in perspective, at stock the 290x is twice the speed of a balls-out over-clocked 7970 in Extreme.

My card does 10k in the performance preset so i can't see 8000 being accurate for the 290x if its as quick as a Titan or 780 ?

 

[Cd0gz]

pmsl this is a graphics card event isnt it? lol

 

[OCPete]

What's this audio rubbish here for?
