[QUOTE=dompal;20882329][url]http://ncix.com/products/?sku=48199&vpn=HD587AZND9&manufacture=XFX[/url] This.[/QUOTE] Incorrect labelling
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;20884511]Incorrect labelling[/QUOTE] lol... Ironic that you're saying that in the Computer Illiterate thread. It's not incorrect. I own the card. I should know. Maybe do some research or a simple google search before you sound 'tarded.
[QUOTE=Wonky;20884504]A quote from you- "Do I need Linux to run ubuntu?"[/QUOTE] I didn't know much about it then, thank you very much.
[QUOTE=dompal;20882329][URL]http://ncix.com/products/?sku=48199&vpn=HD587AZND9&manufacture=XFX[/URL] This.[/QUOTE] Isn't this that one site that sold a 9500 with 1 TB of video ram?

Maybe do some research or a simple google search before you sound 'tarded.[/QUOTE] yeah, no. people have barely gotten consumer cpu's past 4 ghz(most I've ever seen was 6 ghz, an they had to use liquid nitrogen to cool it), there is no way in hell that that thing runs at 5.2 ghz. I also own a 5770, which isn't a 5870, but it's pretty close. if I OC'd it (which i can't due to the second monitor flickering if I even touch the settings) I can get it to just under 1 ghz. you're just wrong. it's mis labeled.
Before this gets a bit out of hand, can I just point out that it says 1GB GDDR5 5.2GHz, which I belive is correct?
[QUOTE=UnknownDude;20861159]How about you just let them do whatever the fuck they want to do and mind your own business, I'm sick of all this "Operating System wars".[/QUOTE] But they are wrong so what they think is irrelevant.

Considering NCIX is one of the biggest retail outlets for hardware, and XFX is a very well respected company, it's not incorrect labeling. Also, you can buy the 5.2 GHZ version of the 5870 at other stores, so I highly doubt it's a mis-label.

Still think it's incorrect?

I believe the problem here is [I]misleading[/I] labels. Usually when you say GHz, you're referring to a processor's clock speed, not the memory's clock speed. A normal person looking at that would be like "OMG OVER 5 GHz! MUST BUY!!!", when the actual GPU clock speed is 875 MHz. [editline]02:58PM[/editline] Fucking ninja'd.
I got told my i5 is old, they have a E4500.
[QUOTE=gazzy_GUI;20902174]I got told my i5 is old, they have a E4500.[/QUOTE] The i7 is old (Not the 980 or whatever it us) The i5 is old but not that old it's less than a year.
[QUOTE=don818;20902280]The i7 is old (Not the 980 or whatever it us) The i5 is old but not that old it's less than a year.[/QUOTE] I know but the point being they have a prosessor roughly 3 years old and then call mine old because apprently bigger numbers = newer/faster.
I just overheard this one guy talking to his friend saying that he just bought 2 laptops: one for pictures, and one for videos and text documents.
If I ever designed and sold a processor brand I would just name it X1, X2, X3 and keep going up from there. None of this 4-figure bullshit.
[QUOTE=gazzy_GUI;20902553]I know but the point being they have a prosessor roughly 3 years old and then call mine old because apprently bigger numbers = newer/faster.[/QUOTE] Oh I didn't read your post right. I love people like this, they always insist their right and its funny. I just laugh at them. Oh this reminds me, this guy who 2 years ago was an asshole is now into the parts of the 360 and is interested in computers. It's cool :D before he knew nothing of the hardware and now he's into it because he met me. I feel like I changed someone's life and it feels good.
Computer class. Nuff said.
[QUOTE=Kawaii;20902754]Computer class. Nuff said.[/QUOTE] This also reminds me, you guys will get a good laugh out of this. In my CAD class everyone knows I can do almost anything with computers. So my teacher asked me to email him a slide to a power point I was making about an architect (The class has a second part and thats architecture.) I hosted the image on image shack and saved it as a PNG because it was colorful and I didn't want jpeg to compression rape it, he wanted it as a jpg because it's well compressed and everyone knows jpgs. He didn't like it for multiple reasons. One, my email: [email]binladen34@hotmail.com[/email], Two, the return name: Virginia Q Wisconsin E (Don't ask I change my name to weird shit from time to time.) Three, image shack: He's afraid that I'm going to hack him if he copies the link and pastes it to the address bar. Four, the png extension: srs h4xx0r here. So after about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to attach an image to an MSN email (Yeah I couldn't read the word attach above the email) I compressed it to jpg and sent it to him. When he got it he flipped the fuck out because I made the subject "FREE PORN!" to bust his chops after he did mine. I got sent to the disciplinary office for the rest of the period.

People who were so grossly misinformed by any computer safety speech they believe any link I send them will be a virus or slow down their pc. It's come to the point where I just say "YEP, IT'S A VEERUSS. TURN OFF YOUR PC AND CALL 911!"

reminded me of when my 4th/5th grade computer teacher (crotchety old man with a temper and no actual computer knowledge) kept telling us to save things as gif (pronounced "JIFF!", like the peanut butter, but fucking louder than the rest of his sentences which were already loud) because it was a "new technology and better than JAY PEE GEEEE. >:C "
