What the hell does that have to do with his old card, or the price of tea in China, for that matter?

I thought you were referring to my current card as old.

Yeah, just like I have to answer all your questions, you need to answer mine too.

So what conclusions were drawn?

None, really. I mean, Intel is better than AMD, and GTX570 is faster than 6950 2GB is about all ya can come up with there.

Reayth likes his FX-8150, and Mailman loves the new Intel rig. Mailman and Reayth have the same GTX570, and Mailman seemingly gets more FPS in BF3. They both got their cards at the same time.

It's wasn't meant to be entirely scientific. I trust these two guys are honest about how satisfied they are with their rigs, and that was more what interests me than anything else. OF course, now Reayth is intersted in Intel, so it'll be intersting to see what happens when he gets Intel, and to see if he gets the same boost in FPS in BF3 that Mailman does.

Again, these guys don't really OC, as their systems are used for work in the day, and gaming at night. Nost of these "conclusions" were laready well known, os there's not really alot to be said, but it does validate my ow opinion...and that's that Intel 2nd Gen Core is just better...not hugely, but it IS better.

i'll go intel if I can get a good deal on a mobo and CPU. Assuming I dont need new RAM too.
I still have this place in my heart for AMD though. When I am short on funds, they have come through for me. I used to run Intel P4 but when I went to upgrade, I could not afford another intel.

Well guys, I maybe getting a GTX 560 TI 2GB card so for the next week I will be not able to play BF3 unless I steal the 5770 out of my cruncher at work.

560 will run BF3 fine. Am I missing something?

No I have to trade my 5850 for it so no card unless I rape my cruncher for its card until the 560TI gets here

Why a 560 and not a 570? I mean its a good card but not that much of an upgrade IMO.

It was kinda a spur of the moment thing and the 560TI 2GB compare to a 6950 on most benches.

That 560 Ti is a good price/perf card with a nice amount of vram. Buying new, I'd probably choose it myself over a 570 to save a little coin right now and then get another one for SLI later.

Sure it is. They overclock well too (and can usually reach stock 570 speeds).

Killer_Rubber_Ducky · Feb 8, 2012

If i wanted to switch to intel but save the coin and still do better than my current setup, what cpu/mobo should i go for?

Yea this card is coming via trade deal but the previous owner ran two in SLI and loved it. I have seen the OCing of these cards and I am quite impressed.

You can always sweet talk someone that lives near a microcenter to pick it up for you and ship to you!

i dont know any girls near a microcenter unless there is one in cali then maybe i can get my sister to but i digress, I dont swing that way. I fly straight like a laser beam. (not bouncing off mirrors or going near magnets.)

it was a joke.

lasers can "bend" near magnetic fields.

I dont know anyone I can "sweet" talk into picking something up for me and shipping it. I also dont know what they would pick up either.

That is all. I'mma gonna play in about an hour.

Microcenter has 50$ off when you buy a 2500K/2600K and Z68/P68 Motherboard together

Wrigleyvillain · Feb 8, 2012

Well I was thinking about going to get some of that sweet Samsung RAM there so maybe we can work something out. Though shipping is a pain in my ass even buying the labels online ahead of time.

They have great deals on 2500K/2600K with an additional $50 off some mobos when you also buy a CPU. You were also able to get an additional $50 off a combo deal if you signed up for some shit on Facebook too but that may have expired (idk; I don't use that pos). 2500K is only $179 to begin with then you can get an Asus P8Z68-V LX for only $60 with the combo deal ($125 on Newegg).
