[QUOTE=hexpunK;23453461]Yup workstation cards can handle rendering large textures, extremely high polygon counts, a lot of lighting effects, etc in offline renderers (where the scene will never change) Better than a normal GPU, but don't really do well in a online renderers like games use, where the scene is always changing.[/QUOTE] I'd like to build a massive render farm out of hundreds of these and remaster Toy story 1 with TF2-style shading.

[QUOTE=PunchedInFac;23453507]I'd like to build a massive render farm out of hundreds of these and remaster Toy story 1 with TF2-style shading.[/QUOTE] Good luck with that.

I hear that a fair chunk of the price comes from the drives included with the card.

[QUOTE=Carl;23452177]What? I needed to know that before i order it, i couldnt find both of thier dimensions so i asked for help. Page king, i sentance you to beheading[/QUOTE] If your buying from newegg, its right in the specifications...

[QUOTE=xxncxx;23453969]If your buying from newegg, its right in the specifications...[/QUOTE] I went to google. Took me less than 2 minutes to find the dimensions of BOTH.

[QUOTE=GWMCOCD;23453549]I hear that a fair chunk of the price comes from the drives included with the card.[/QUOTE] The price comes from the fact that there isn't consumer demand for the card so they CAN charge that much.

[QUOTE=Boris-B;23450228]I know that the starting on startup thing is not a big deal but it still pisses me off. I don't like the fact that applications get themselves into my system configuration. When they port it to linux they better not fuck with my config files...[/QUOTE] Agreed.

Something about the whole "mac's price being mostly about the clean look" concept this thread tends to divert to, I guess.

That paint looks horrible, but the logo looks awesome.

Is it just me or is the logo a bit off-center, the apple logo seems like it's above the middle. He did sort of run it by flicking paint all over it, but the TF2 logo was a good idea.

[QUOTE=Carl;23451161][url]http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4311512&csid=ITD&body=MAIN[/url] bought this card tryd it in starcraft, plays the same as my 20 dollar 4x agp card on my sons computer what is up?? So yeah, I decided to buy 3 of these to do 3 way SLI on my X58 mobo...worst mistake of my LIFE! These don't even support SLI! That's right, $3000 for a card that doesn't do 1% of what a GTX 285 will do! I've got a Biostar mobo with onboard graphics better than this junk! I don't know what the hell PNY was thinking, or the other fools that rate this so high are thinking. This card SUCKS! Not a professional card or gaming card, just plain old CRAP! DON'T BE A FOOL! GTX 285!!!!! Have this card in one of our office set ups and my new VisionTek 5870 would destroy this card for the value. Same performance and direct x11.. A fool would buy Hahahahaha[/QUOTE] You paid a $4000 Quadro Workstation card that is designed for 3D modeling and similar graphics designs, and wanted to play some shitty low-requirement video games on it. Congratulations, you are officially an idiot.

Holy shit he's gotta be trolling

I was posting what people said in the reviews then said hahaha, im not retarded. Yall misintirpertated the post

I thought you'd quoted because you said Hahahah

[QUOTE=Demache;23368150]Don't hate on chiptunes. Not really computer illiteracy, but a really common question people ALWAYS ask me is "if I get a VGA cable for my Xbox, can I plug it into my laptop and use it as a monitor?" I don't know why, but people are REALLY persistent on being able to do this. I always say no. And they always ask why. And I just say that the VGA port is for output ONLY. For some, that's enough to convince them. For others, they say "I'm sure you could download a driver or something". I say "download all the drivers you want, but it will never work". Someone actually had the nerve to say I was making up shit as I went and he's going to buy that cable and get it to work. Not surprisingly, it didn't work. Sometimes though, I get the same question, but about the HDMI port on some newer laptops.[/QUOTE] Actually, there IS a way to do this. You just buy a VGA box and hook the xbox into that, and as long as your laptop has a VGA port, you hook the VGA cord into that. And yes, I've DONE this. I know what I'm talking about.

Either way, these people asking me are going about it the wrong way.

Dell isn't absolute shit, at least not for monitors or laptops.

^ This, Dell's monitors are among the best around in that price range
