[QUOTE=Wooops: 404;35248581]Better drivers.[/QUOTE] What makes some drivers better than others?

Working ones.

I see.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;35248641]Working ones.[/QUOTE] Well said

Personally I've had more issues with this 560Ti than I have with my previous 6 ATI/AMD cards Things have got better with updates (pretty much perfect now), but I've never experienced any issues with the other cards.

I'm feeling pretty flaccid about my quad sli 590 right now ;__;

And I didn't mean that just to poke at those who have AMD drivers, but they are consistently late with fixes on new games, crossfire scaling is erractic, and sometimes options completely don't work. Nvidia's drivers suit me better. I like being able to turn on an option and have it do something, whether or not it break it or not. AMD's drivers seem to ask politely for the system to do something. Also EVGA released the 680 FTW 4GB card. Buying 2 the moment my 580's are sold.

[QUOTE=MC3craze;35248417]that number is from a metro 2033 benchmark btw [editline]22nd March 2012[/editline] 520 is super low power consumption, you could run it on a 300W[/QUOTE] I meant a 520w psu with a gtx 680. shoulda specified my bad

[QUOTE=altern;35248819]I meant a 520w psu with a gtx 680. shoulda specified my bad[/QUOTE] Should work.

I mean, since people aren't willing to pay 425 like you said above.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;35248555]I've been noticing around here, (and most other places, in fact,) a bias of sorts towards Nvidia over AMD. Why is that? I'm not trying to cause an argument, I'm just really curious.[/QUOTE] Well, Nvidia has got the performance crown, and that's pretty much it. The 7870 looks like it's a sweet little card, though, so I'll probably recommend that one to mid-range builders until something better comes out. I think AMD did well with the 7*** series, but it just wasn't good enough. Something I'd like to point out is that people actually believed the "50% better bull" for a long time, and while the GTX 580 [I]is[/I] impressive, looking at Linus videos, they're aren't that much apart when overclocked. Still a better card, especially overall, but people got a little too riled up in my opinion.

Look what I've spent 4 hours doing! (All data we collected ourselves using a fancy netscanner.) [img]http://skidmore.pro/dl/EstoniaWebStatDraft.jpg[/img] And a PDF version - [url]http://skidmore.pro/dl/EstoniaWebStatDraft.pdf[/url]

[QUOTE=Brt5470;35248573]I think most of us have had such bad experiences with AMD, that we've moved to Nvidia and preach it.[/QUOTE] i guess i've been lucky, never had a problem with any amd card or amd drivers

[QUOTE=Not_Yet;35249587]i guess i've been lucky, never had a problem with any amd card or amd drivers[/QUOTE] Name fits.

AMD cards? I've had mixed experiences with them. The ones that died were 2 x1650 pros and my HD5750 I think that was more of my fault though. [editline]22nd March 2012[/editline] with help from makol [editline]22nd March 2012[/editline] and his caselicking dog.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;35249679'] with help from makol[/QUOTE] Such a helpful fellow.

An infographic for the "UK Web as numbers" will be coming along in about a week or two. The data is still being collected.

Maybe my squid server would be in there :dance:

Is it just me or is youtube being slow as shit.

[QUOTE=Wooops: 404;35249813]Is it just me or is youtube being slow as shit.[/QUOTE] Why the hell would you come [I]here[/I] to ask that.

[QUOTE=Wooops: 404;35249865]Because most people use youtube, and its running slow as shit, and I can't see anything using my bandwith, so I'm asking you guys.[/QUOTE] Make a question thread in fast threads.

Does the Google advertising deal give you any giftcards that can be used outside of the US?
