Im not going to combat your snide immature attitude with my own.

I'll simply say that the reason your friends HD 4870's failed is because they had no idea what they were doing. Want to know why mine still works? Fan-speed hack in the early driver versions kept it from nuking itself. If you're not smart enough to save your own hardware by doing that, then you shouldn't be building your own computer from parts.

Quadro cards are not meant for gaming, correct.
But they can be used for gaming, to great effect if you're willing to shell out.
Are Intel Xenon processors meant for gaming?
Nope.
Do people use them for gaming?
Yep.
Quadro cards are in the same boat for people who play games with high levels of memory requirements, usually caused by (but obviously not limited to) the anti-aliasing.

As I said though, what are we discussing here, who has most beefy performance card or who has the best price/performance ratio at the mid-range level? I even quoted prices for you, but you really cant see it can you?

You might try to be a little courteous in your arguements to people who are trying to be friendly (looqas here), before making yourself look a fool.

But you'd know that if you had a little bit of common sense.

I don't know why you picked the 8600GT, rayne. You could've gone better with either the ATi 4770 or the 4850, or even the 9800 GT. Its just frustrating when you meet a green fanboy these days, as you can see. Nothing but opinions and 'I know im right'. Makes me wonder if I'm playing Freelancer or World of Warcraft...

Alright 1, look at some Other posts i made? it wasn't opinion. and 2, My friends don't know what their doing? you have no clue. I probably know the least about computers then they do. And think about it, if you have to use a hack to keep your card alive their is something wrong with it.

Im done posting here, i honestly don't care when im talking to people who don't know shi- about computers, And then try to dis my friends. But its the internet, what do you expect.
