In 2012 the Nvidia G32000 will come out, featuring a 5nm core, 64gigs of 2056bit memory, and a shader clock nearing 10000, and of course built in Stem Cells. So you should all stick with your crappy cards until then, because in the computer world, waiting is very logical and useful.

Yep.

Uh huh.

Yes.

I kinda get that as well. That said, the point here is "lets make a dumb thread to combat a dumb thread"? The logic in that eludes me. Now if someone were to create a thread talking about a dumb thread poking fun at a dumb thread I'd be all for it. Or... how about a thread talking about how a dumb thread was made that was poking fun at another dumb threads arguement about how another thread was a dumb thread. Maybe they should make a new part of forums were all dumb threads can coexist in peace?

I guess the boring way would be to take first said dumb thread and make a post containing a logical point in it that gives a more common sense point of view. In this case maybe like "hey if everyone did that and always waited for the next big thing that was just around the corner you'd never get rid of your commodor vic 20". Just a thought.

Not that I really mind though as sometimes I like to read pointless post. Sometimes I even post in them for fun. I'm having fun now.

or

or

Yeah kinda because if everyone made a pointless post these boards would really really suck and everyone would leave.

It's not for me to decide which you chose though, i'm just giving options.

As far as this post for me personally, well honestly I come here for somewhat intelligent conversation most of the time. That said when you see something titled "DO NOT Buy a 8800GT No matter WHAT!", and you happen to be in the market for a 8800GT you kinda want to click on it because you think..."hey self, this looks like a really important conversation.. Self you really need to click this link and see what it's all about". OOOPS... kinda a trick going on here as the whole thread is pointless. See you don't realize it is pointless until you've already arrived and read it.

P.S. Still having fun.

Agreed, but you can see why they are mostly frowned upon by forum users and the mod squad. Honestly if you let one person do it you have to let everyone do it. At which point there really is no forum, just a bunch of pointless post. That's my thought anyway, I realize most don't agree with it.

I really did click because I thought it was going to contain some important info, sadly it didn't. Since I came here though I figured I might as well post as I took the time to read it. :)

Ok consumer buys 8800 now... and gets disapointed by the underperforming card that can't even get descent frame rates in Crysis and World in Conflict not to mention DX10 is as useless as poop. 9 series get released but poor consumer don't have no money no more to buy the new card.

Moral of the story? Buy a graphics card based onwhat games you want to play. I will play UTIII untill the next one released... wich is minimum 2/3 years. So having a good gfx card that can play the game on smooth frame rates and high settings would be a good idea.

It doesn't really hurt to wait for price cuts or newer hardware. 8800 series are over a year old allready and are beginning to show its age. Soon 9 series will arrive and consumer will have the oppurtunity to max out Crysis on descent frame rates.

I relate to the humor of this post. I always get a chuckle out of seeing people telling others to wait for so and so. Waiting is rarely logical in the pc game hardware scene, since the technology changes so quickly. People talk about waiting for future-proof hardware, but in my 15 years of pc gaming, I've never seen a single piece of future-proof hardware. Something considered future-proof today will have its days numbered by something new tomorrow.

No matter which highway entrance you use, you're always going to get passed by some cars that are faster than yours. Just get on and enjoy the ride.

In the PC world there is point A, point B, point C, and infinity.

A=current

B=next hardware to be released

C=future hardware to be released

you are here

A--^---B------C

The idea is that you will get better performance/price if you wait till you are at a point instead of between.

jed-at-war

The problem with that philosophy is that if you wait to be at the next point, the new point immediately becomes the old point. Thus, the cycle starts all over. At any rate, you often will not get a better performance/price ratio by waiting for the next newest thing, you'll usually have to pay a premium. Something like the 8800gt is a rare occurance, don't expect it to happen on a regular basis.

No, in 2050 there will be the new 23 fm architechture (1 femtometer = 10^-15 meters), just imagine how many transistor there will be on your chip!

Might as well sell my hardware now and start saving!

In 2012 the Nvidia G32000 will come out, featuring a 5nm core, 64gigs of 2056bit memory, and a shader clock nearing 10000, and of course built in Stem Cells. So you should all stick with your crappy cards until then, because in the computer world, waiting is very logical and useful.

Yep.

Uh huh.

Yes.

LOL there is no way 2056bit memory.

Maybe 2048 bit

I might point out that you are using more than one exclamation point, but that would ruin the perfidiousness of your post. (Yes, I looked that word up in the dictionary. :D)

Actually, I was using it as the passive form of the verb. For example: My friend told me that 5 x 5 = 25. I understood this fact, because I UNDERSTAND basic math.

I enjoy passive verbs. BUT... BUT... BUT DON'T I MEAN ENJOYED?!!?!?

No.
