WTF = Easter Islands, possibly, but I assume its Polynesia
What? = Azores
Cloudy Meetballs = Bermuda (Triangle, ring a bell?)
The left really? = Mascerine Islands (Mauritius for example)
the right really? = Maledives
No one = Penguins don't need fancy GPUs

_JP_ · Sep 3, 2010, 10:20 PM

The "What?" arrow is pointing at Azores. Not that low populated, lots of people live there. It's a very beautiful place, lots of amazing landscapes and the locals are very friendly. The US of A has a A.F. base there.

EDIT: MRCL beat me to with and with a more complete answer. Well done!

Congratulations lucky winners! Great cards!

DaveK · Sep 4, 2010, 12:14 AM

It would be nice if it went to a member of TPU who is a regular. That way we would see a thread and some nice pictures, but as usual, they're all prize goblins and just enter for the prize and never log in again.

Quanlin · Sep 4, 2010, 04:04 PM

My PSU is RocketFish 700W, but i guess its real power is only 550 watt. I think it can support this card. The card currently in my computer is HD 3870x2 and it works well.

Q9450 + Asus P5W HD Extreme + 320G + 4G DDR2 + Nec ND 3520A + HD 3870x2/5870

if you can run a 3870x2, then a 5870 will run just fine. I think it uses even less power than the 3870x2
