The maturity level in the Graphics Cards Forum.

You would think some people are actually paid to troll and ruin other peoples day :p

You don't work for ATI or Nvidia! Damn it! What is your stake in this argument! (general GPU bashing)

Such is the lifeline of tech, here today, best performance to be trampled by something else tomorrow! If you can't live with that buy a console!

EDIT: P.S keep the immaturity up! cracking read sometimes :D

Some quotes from the forum :p










Reading these posts just crack me up:p:D

lol I love that forum, to be fair they have good points and often base their rants with evidence. :D

I'm more a gaming enthusiast than a hardware enthusiast so I don't pay attention to the immature my willy is bigger than your threads. :eek:

Sometimes a passion is shown and it comes out in a thread. I sit at work/pub and have the exact same discussions. I don't speak to people in person any differently to the way I post.

We talk about footy/work/women/golf/cars etc etc.

A forum is no different and so long as personal insults are left out, I don't see a problem. Dave Beast hit it on the nail. It is just banter with no offence meant.

When I look back through Shayper and Tommybhoys posts, you do the same thing as what some of us do. Please don't be hypocritical when you are no better.

it's very much harder to talk to someone on a forum than it is in real life, we cant read each others faces, sense of humour, personalities etc, that's why we argue so much.

it's harder to express yourself online, it's much easier to walk into a PC shop and to chat to the guys there, because you read each others personalities straight away.... and the conversation is so easy. when i chatted to the guys about my new rig, at first they weren't sure about me, but after 10 mins they said, ``we'll do it all for you mate, dont worry about anything``

thus, half the blokes we hate online, we'd probably like in real life, this is the biggest fault with the web, for sure!

Fact of life, lots of fellas being all macho and whatnot wouldn't utter a peep in the presence of 'real life' company. Something i've found a lot here is bandwagon jumping and oneupmanship, talking down to others etc.. seems theres a lot of immaturity in the forums, possibly age related, also veiled jealousy.. in the real world they'd probably not even think of it.

Yeah, tonnes of 'keyboard warriors' on here.

Broken record heh, yeah just like the entire ocuk gpu forum, with the same **** and the same people arguing about the same pointless thing.

He has a valid point.

Shayper said:
Well you are the one who keeps reiterating that Kepler is going to be useless. It's rather tiring. You have no idea what the card will be like until it's released. So please, dear desist.

You call him dear....A little condescending don't you think?

In response to another guy's post, who was a little rude.

Shayper said:
Wow, what a nice response :rolleyes:. Grow up.

OP, 2 7950s in crossfire should do the trick nicely :D

You just joined in with him, making yourself look no better. You could have ignored him.

That thread they guy asks a sensible question and not just you but everybody jumped on him...A little bit of bullying maybe?

I am not having a go at anyone, as honestly we show passion for things and things we believe. If someone asks for advice, we give it (or to the best of our knowledge).

If I am spending lots of obamas on equipment I know nothing about, I research said equipment with multiple sites and reviews. If someone has a problem or just after a little advice, we try and help them (to the best of our knowledge).

I recommended you for the happiest forum member and I mean it. You made an old man like Dub Step for goodness sake :p

Don't feed the trolls and they will soon get bored but sometimes we can't help but defend our beliefs.

Don't need too Dave, posts like yours in here are pure drivel.

dave_beast said:
Can you explain to me what i've said in this thread is "drivel"? Afaik, i've posted facts interspersed with banter towards aggressive posters!

Surprised you didn't suggest the OP go out and buy a pair of 6950's, as you often cite THEM as being better than ONE of the latest cards :o

tommybhoy said:
And I was going to bed as well.

Most of what you have said in here and most of the other threads is pure and utter drivel.

They are faster@1080p, @1GHz they are faster than both of the latest single cards (even oc'ed) in nearly every game out there, they have been faster and cheaper and being used for over year now, and by the looks of things, they will stay there until something better comes along.

These I found easily. At least Shayper involved quite a bit of digging.

You see what I mean though? You are only defending your beliefs and that does not make you a bad person. If me and you was sat in a pub, we would argue the same. It isn't anger but pure banterish (not sure if that is a word but it should be) defence.

As I said, I am not having a go at anyone but seriously, guys should be squeaky clean before they post some things.

Lol @ the obama's reference, just to clarify are you talking about general currency or Dollars or Pounds in particular?

Obamas refers to $...GTA767 said it and I liked it :D

It wasn't in reference to his op though, it was his later question in the thread.

'That' davebeast incident was over relentless bashing of another brand over time, that I don't own, that has no bearing on what I posted in this thread on fanboism:

Absoloutely Tommy. I wasn't digging, just saying we defend our beliefs.

A guy I work with, whom incidentally I built his PC for him has the same discussions. I put a 560ti in it and he changed it for a 6970. Then all I got was "My card is better than yours". We argued like crazy but it was never nasty, just the same as we all have here.

Mind you, I am enjoying my 680 v his 6970 debate :p
