I wouldn't even spend that much money on a card that gets easilly outperformed by a cheaper card with a lot more potential. The best price/quality choice at this very moment will be the HD 4870 X2 since it's not really expensive and outperforms everything. Two HD 4870s in CrossFire versus one HD 4870 X2 will not win in gaming benchmarks but in power consumption benchmarks, they need a lot more power than one single HD 4870 X2.

I doubt the human eye can be expressed in 'Frames per Second'. I think it works slightly different because we are not machines. ;) But you guys could be right, I have no clue to be honest.

Ain't it always the same with Sir Carmack? He always tries to smack the industry, but fails!?

I bought a package for about 40 euro via Steam. It contained a lot of old titles, including Half Life 1 and such.

Someone I know has a MacBook Air, you know that really thin thing. Well it looks smooth, it's fast.. but really expensive.

Nice system, as for the HD 4870 how are the drivers? I heard they're terrible, any confirmation on this?

Good question, I'd have to stick with:

  • Smallville
  • Heroes
  • Supernatural

Not that I can imagine a cool superman game, but I like the series a lot!

19 here, although I must say that I'm fairly impressed by the average age playing the GTA series.

I even know a dude that's still playing GTA on 70+ age.. :)
