It takes skill. Something a race car driver, not a "metal head", would appreciate. Man, nates gtx 260 is like an rx-8! /offtopic

Its a great card at a great price. :toast:

right im totally fed up why buy a card then use it 1 day then trade it

thats, how much a waste of money?

i personally only buy when im sure i want something

if it was me id have just bought the 4870x2 in the first place or even just kept the 260 since its a good card itself

LOL, quit being fed up with the way other people buy and sell their parts and then maybe you'll be able to focus more of you attention on enjoying your own parts that you so wisely only bought when you were sure you wanted them?

thanks for bumps :) Paul I'm close to taking your offer!

price dropped!

sorry but im just very considerate i dont like to see people waste such good things i like efficiency, dont you hate wasting money like that?

theres a lot of things i just dont understand and then i ask why? even you must appreciate having such a good card then selling it a few days later is to me i dunno how to put it, strange?

look im sorry if im thread crapping spamming whatever ill just never question people ever again you can do what you like

that guy on youtube who decided to kill his brand new 3x 280gtx wtf most people cant even afford one 280gtx and he decided to kill his 280gtx's

It's called a hobby. Hobbies are sometimes expensive. Do you question why people buy boats, luxury cars, top end instruments, top end A/V equipment, etc., etc?

It's just what people like to do. Nathan is a hardware and deal junky. It serves as his hobby.

The guy pushed and pushed his TRI-3 way sli rig in a Crisis run, that he fried one of the GTX,s and laughed about it. I don't get it either and I would not compare our Nate to that guy.

I laughed every time I fried one of my 8800GT's. All 4 of them. (Of course, I got them for free, so it didn't cost me anything anyway.)

I'm guessing that guy either has enough money that it doesn't really effect him, or he's sponsored.

What the hell, right? Fry some expensive graphic cards for a laugh, or sell them and give the money to the American Cancer Society (or any charity),... your shit, your choice I guess:ohwell:

It wasn't for a laugh, it was for a score. Scores that I'm obligated to try and achieve.

Yes people do buy a Super bike, then go out and buy something like a Veyron a week later. That's their prerogative too.

You have completely failed to make any point what so ever. This is what he likes to do with his time and money. And by reselling the things he's done testing, it keeps his hardware costs down. Not only that, but much of this stuff he gets in trade, so it all ends up costing a lot less than you think in the long run.

Either way, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean he needs to hear about it in his FS thread. He's not doing this to seek any approval from you or anyone else.

Sorry for the hijack Nate. I'm done.
