Do Nvidia & ATI need sep forum?

Tom|Nbk · 12 Sep 2009 at 19:29

I think a seperate forum for each would be a good idea tbh.

Seldarine · 12 Sep 2009 at 20:38

wouldnt be seperate forums, would be more like a fanboi shrine

Zenduri · 12 Sep 2009 at 20:48

Split the 3yr olds up!

Best idea ive seen on here so far

rounddodger · 12 Sep 2009 at 20:55

My opinion on splitting the forum is that it is a bad idea. I think people need to take a step back and chill out, this is a computer web forum and if someone insulting you ruins your day i would give it a miss for a while, seriously. If everyone gets along it's boring as hell, just as in real life.

Shocky-FM · 12 Sep 2009 at 20:57

I don't really like the idea and don't think fanboys as such are the problem, it's just down to certain users who push it too far.

Oh I think fanboyism is a problem after all it's just another form of narrow mindedness.

But we don't need seperate forums just do what I do when it gets too much and go to better sites.

If there are separate nV and ATi forums, where do 'should I go nVidia or ATi?' questions belong?

Fanboyism is highly subjective to some people.

I get called a fanboy for hating on nVidia, for me to hate on nVidia doesn't = love of ATi.

Fanboys hate on a brand for makebelieve reasons, I've lost count of the 'problems' people have invented about ATi cards.

It's not about defending ATi, it's about defending the truth to me.

Some people get told to buy an nVidia card when an ATi alternative will be just as fast but cost about 15-20% cheaper.

This I see as common sense, my wallet contents it more important than what company I align my self to.

As for hating on nVidia, I think they make great hardware, but I don't agree with the blatantly wrong things that they do.

This, I'm entirely entitled to be deeply disappointed in how nVidia operate.

It's not good, anti-competitive, completely un-innovative and downright dirty.

The only people who label me a fanboy for these reasons must surely be the fanboys as I don't know how anyone wouldn't be angry at the things they do.

Would be nice. Lack of concrete info aside, the 5850/70 series thread on this board was going fine until a few nVidia cretins turned up and started mouthing off.

off topic ..........i just farted ..........OMG THE SMELL IS SO BAD

i agree but its the can be said about amd and intel too.

You could do, but then arguably, intel have had the edge when it comes to overclocking.

i agree intel had the edge, but nowadays not so as much. also it's not all about overclocking.

just because the site name is ocuk most people think everybody that chats on these forums wanna overclock.

Oh I know, I mean in terms of the majority of users on here.

I can get my Q6600 to over 4Ghz on air, up from 2.4Ghz, that's what swayed me to the core 2 line of CPUs, and I've had about 5 since 2007.

E6600, E6750, Q6600 and Q6700

The last one is in my laptop, I can't remember what CPU it is off the top of my head though, I just know it's a 1.8Ghz 'pentium dual core' based CPUs.

I've since sold both E6XXX CPUs and I've got the Q6s in my main PC and server PC.

Due to their overclocking potential, the Q6600 has been the best CPU I've ever had.

The best motherbaord I've ever had was DFI NFII Ultra-B, Yes, that's right, an nVidia based motherboard

.

Best board I've owned, ever. Soundstorm 2, need I say more?

Rroff · 13 Sep 2009 at 01:12

DFI made good boards back then never mind the chipset - lanparty boards ruled... shame they are nothing special any more.

overclocking is about luck, doesn't matter if its intel or amd. if i go out tomorrow and buy q6600 and try overcliocking it may only do 3.4ghz. same goes with a amd chip...

Gonna have to agree with you there, Lanparty boards were indeed great. The bundles you got with them were second to none.

I messed around with a friend's S939 DFI board ( can't remember what, I just remember it was a crossfire board with an ATi chipset) and it was a bit of a disappointment when I compared it to my old trusty NFII Ultra B.

Not really, generally Intel's Core 2 based chips were great for monster overclocks on air.

A lot of people with highly clocked Q6600s would disagree with the luck part.

To the exact extent you'll get with the overclock is luck, but the high-overclock potential was almost a feature missing from the feature list on the box.

I love AMD CPUs, but currently, they're being outclassed by intel for the reasons I choose a CPU and overclockability is high on my priority lists.

Though I have been tempted lately buy Phenom II, but I doubt that'll come of anything, more likely I'll be going Core i7 on an 1156 board.

so i must be seeing things because i've seen a lot of q6600 at 3.2-3.4ghz.

anyway i'm going bed now lol.
