Here's that video I promised earlier.

[QUOTE=Demache;34999323]Reminds me of the very last scene in HL2 Ep2 on my GMA 950.
That was a very long 20 minutes.[/QUOTE]
When I first played through the orange box on the family PC (2.8 GHz P4, 512 MB of RAM, Geforce FX 5200... With Norton and Windows XP), I remember the scene where they revive Alyx and the final cutscene going at 1 frame per 10 seconds. Luckily someone uploaded those clips to Youtube.

Sigh.
Both of my gift cards I am trying to use to buy Anno 2070 aren't working, telling me that they were denied.

I fixed it.
I don't gift card very well.
Well, it took her a week, but at least she's willing to admit her mistakes:

and let me rant about codeacademy.
this is the answer that they think is correct - RIGHT after teaching you how to use switch statements
[code]var calculateTotalCosts = function(salary, numWorkers, city) {
var fixedCosts = 5000;
var variableCosts = salary * numWorkers;
if (city === "NYC") {
return fixedCosts + variableCosts + 30000;
}
else if (city === "BEJ") {
return fixedCosts + variableCosts + 25000;
}
else {
return fixedCosts + variableCosts + 10000;
};
};
console.log(calculateTotalCosts(50000, 9, "NYC"));
console.log(calculateTotalCosts(50000, 9, "BEJ"));
console.log(calculateTotalCosts(50000, 9, "MUM"));[/code] (including the unnecessary semicolon)
This is what it should look like:
[code]//Start by defining the function. It now has three parameters!
var calculateTotalCosts = function (salary, numWorkers, city){
var fixedCosts = 5000;
var variableCosts = salary * numWorkers;
var cityCosts;
switch (city)
{
case "NYC":
cityCosts = 30000;
break;
case "BEJ":
cityCosts = 25000;
break;
default:
cityCosts = 10000;
break;
}
return variableCosts + fixedCosts + cityCosts;
};
console.log(calculateTotalCosts(50000, 9, "NYC"));
console.log(calculateTotalCosts(50000, 9, "BEJ"));
console.log(calculateTotalCosts(50000, 9, "MUM"));[/code]

it's absorbed more quickly through gums / your mouth and even if it's just placebo at first, it works for me
[QUOTE=Shadaez;35002097]it's absorbed more quickly through gums / your mouth and even if it's just placebo at first, it works for me[/QUOTE]
only if you have a cut in your mouth (and then just arguably), otherwise it's all placebo
I kind of want a Raspberry Pi computer thingy.
No idea what I'd do with it, though.

Tad lad here, but i'm pretty sure it's used to run Pixel and Vertex shaders on the CPU
[QUOTE=venn178;34998613]To be fair, I'm also probably better off not using a motherboard that's got a questionable amount of life left, a power supply that cost $20 years ago, or a heatsink that was shit in 2006. But I'm trying to do it with what I've got, it makes it more fun when I don't spend money.[/QUOTE]
This was my gripe when I was planning much the same. I had to compromise on a lot of things, in order to save Money and so forth, and as such it would be much harder to get it done. IIf you want to do something like this, you should probably do it the same way this guy did (I'd recommend not getting perma'd, though): [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/962741?highlight=[/url]
You should plan this kind of thing after the container, and not the parts that you have lying around. Having limitations (Space, airflow, heat and so on) is what will make this plan a lot less awesome.

...why is it getting more FPS than the 7970 in some games?
i dont understand vido card
Which benches?
Also the cards are a little bit over priced. Not surprising.
[editline]5th March 2012[/editline]
From what I can tell the 7870 is barely behind the 7950 in most benches.

Dirt 3, starcraft
Hell, the 7870 beats the 7970 in Starcraft 2 and 7850 has the same performance as the 7970.
Wow.

Oh my god I'm laughing so hard.
What's it with AMD and fuck ups lately? First Bulldozer, and now their midrange cards outperform their high end.
Because the slight changes to the numbering systems of graphics card every generation haven't been confusing enough of late
Why would you be angry about a mid-range card doing better than a much more expensive one? Most people seemed to be fine with the GTX 460, even though this really isn't the same case.

Who said we're angry? Personally I'm laughing. This is the best mistake ever.

Who is mad?
I think this is amazing.
I may get two 7870s at this point. BUT apparently there is going to be a 7890 coming out soon too.
Still waiting for Kepler though before deciding what to do.
[QUOTE=wingless;35003167]Who said we're angry? Personally I'm laughing. This is the best mistake ever.[/QUOTE]
I just mean, to be fair, this [I]could[/I] be due to other components than the GPU. The 7850 is outperforming the GTX 580 as well, so..
Seriously. It might not outperform in every game, but they're half the price and get pretty close in the games they don't beat. You can get 2 7870's for the price of one 7970 and be guaranteed to outperform the 7970.
hi wingless
The 7870 is a great card, and the 7850 isn't too far behind either.
