And...this needed a separate topic?

Edit: But I guess they deserve some credit, at least they are somewhat trying to make proper drivers.

But if you're so poor you can't afford a K version of Intel, wouldn't AMD be perfect for you?

Don't worry, they just hate me because of the diablo3 topic. Haters couldn't hate in peace with me there. Hence the constant bickering.

Not that i care though.

Still doesn't make sense, you can't afford €15,- more for a proper cpu that will outlast your GPU by years, but you spend €500+ on a vidcard that is already worthy of replacement in 2/3 years... Laughing

And no, i dislike you because of your constant hate towards AMD.

Dafuq?
I went with a 670 just because they're cheaper than the 680's and aren't that far off performance wise. o.O
Yet, paying a tiny bit more (especially since you've already decided going for Intel) for what would potentionally be an ace upgrade you cheapen out? Surprised

What constant hate towards AMD? I think i made like 1 or 2 posts mocking AMD?

Huh?

Are you referring to my physx talk? If so, i don't see why.

Yeah it sure looks that way but at the time i purchased my CPU (way way way earlier than my GPU) i didn't have more money.

When i got my GPU i had more funds so i bought the most expensive product.

The 2400 might be weaker than a 2500k and non-OCable but it still doesn't bottleneck in games so idc that much.

I say, move it to the void so that I can keep spamming this with words like "dafuq" and "peppermints".

Amazing.
