I really want to agree with your statement as you seem to be somewhat knowledgable and mature in your answers, but unfortunately I cannot concur with your conclusion. The bottleneck with a Phenom 2 940@ 3.4ghz paired with a 7970 would be huge. You make it seem as if the bottleneck would be acceptable therefore spending 600.00 would be justifiable for the OP when he can just save a few benjamins and grab a 560ti and be done with it. I'm sorry I appreciate your answer but you are wrong.

BTW, i appreciate the link to that 3d article. I am going to read it and get back to you.

It really depends on the resolution.

At a resolution like 2560x1600 the GPU will be the bottleneck over any C2Q/phII/i5/i7, even a 7970

4:48 PM is late?

Looks like they stopped arguing yesterday, so all we are doing is bumping the thread.

STOP IT GUYS

next console gen, the butthurt will flow through system wars....the rate hardware is increasing is incredible I have a hard time thinking the next systems can compete with anything from the past couple GPU sets. I'm still gonna love my 570 for years though

Not necessarily. The next gen consoles won't be here for 3 more years. That is plenty of time to put some pretty amazing hardware in them for relatively cheap.

I fully expect the next gen consoles to outstat current top of the line PCs. Anyone that expects otherwise is a little bit stupid.

3 more years, i doubt that, at least i hope not as that is actually a 10 year old gen :o, currently at 7 with the 360

Do you see anything whatsoever about next gen consoles? No.

What we see are updates to current consoles, wii u, kinect, psmove, vita, etc...

I don't expect the next gen consoles to come out until they have the hardware to run every game 1080p at 60 fps cheaply. We will probably see that at 20nm which will be out right around 2014/2015.

MS and sony already missed a CES announcement which automatically gives us over 1 year until we can expect them for sale.

Just so everyone is on the same page, these LED monitors are LCD monitors that are LED backlit. LCD monitors usingally have CCFL backlights.

So they are both LCD monitors with different backlights.

The real LED monitors are coming later.

I still enjoy playing games, I just don't get "scared" of playing them like of some you guys.. That's all. No need to take offence as we're all built of different stock. Some of us are just much stronger than others.

seanmcloughlin

What ARE you scared of then? commitments? pregnancy?

I mean sure you can be less scared than others and be more wilfully minded but to not be scared even a tiny bit in the dark alone with headphones cranked up? fear is an essential part of life and being human so yes it is kind of abnormal not to be afraid a little by games or movies. Or at least tense. And by saying "some are stronger than others" you make it sound like you're trying to say there are many others like you but here everyone admits to being scared and you just seem like a guy trying to hard to be manly. That's just how you're coming off and that's why people are attacking you

Also he's an idjit. Super proud of having some sort of brain disorder and/or sociopathy.

Being scared isn't shameful mate. It's a rush of adrenaline, and it's very enjoyable to some people.

ShimmerMan

Yeah but I still don't find video-games scary or movies for that matter. I guess I'm just made of sterner stuff than you "mate" :).

From my experience people that don't get scared have no imagination whatsoever.

Congratulations on having no creativity.

Don't be stupid work on your computer yourself. The guys at micro center are making like 12 bucks an hour, that's like paying the guy from in-n-out to work on your computer.
