1. Double post.

2. You can modify previous posts to make them correct.

3. It's a grossly overpriced card and no one should be buying them until the retailers quit being scumbags and bring the prices back down to Earth. For nearly $600, buy a couple of GTX 770s.

I think this has to be brought up, LTT forums is turning into what Linus hated. Elitists who look down onto new noobs on the forums. This forum was supposed to be noob friendly, and supportive. Every post i see by you always makes me kinda mad. Linus said in a livestream in november 2012 that people who werent noob friendly would be instabanned. Please fix this forum...

I don't want to be mean but.. who the hell are you to say this?

 

SLS is a very well established member of this forum. He has contributed a lot to it, developed a ton of friendships and is well known for being one of the friendliest and most helpful members we have here.

 

I am offended by this. :mellow:

I dont feel that this forum is as noob friendly as linus wanted it to be. Noobs who posts here are often trampled by established forumers.

While I know that this is true of me sometimes, I believe that you have grossly overstated the amount of which I do such. I know that I may not always be the most constructive person out there, but I do believe that I should not be insta-banned. As much as I am offended by this, I don't want to turn this into a war. I usually try to be a constructive member around here, and I love the forums. This is where a lot of my day is spent, speaking to friends and new people. I am not sure about what to say to this, but I will say this. I am a bit offended by this, and by the accusation that I am basically an elitist.

Understandable, but you've managed to call out and target one of the main people who are the exact opposite of what you're claiming.

 

Dude. SLS is such a nice person. :(

the only time i get pissed at noobs is when they post stupid stuff like should i do this does this mean etc things that are just common sense to understand and are easily googleable and are basically cheating there way with post counts not naming any people but i saw this guy that had been here for not nearly as long as me and had more posts than what i had and i hadn't seen one contribution to the forum they were just ridiculous questions and he never posted in off topic so he would always get post counts if i was mod i would lock for spam how often and stupid they are.

 

P.S i dont think u have much right to say anything about sls or any of the older guys they earnt there place here and they have contributed alot.

But thats how Linus wanted the forums to be...  :mellow:

Everyone should go watch the livestream i am talking about, they had intentions of making a forum for tech illiterate people so they could learn, as well as for tech literate people to discuss.

The 290x is $700!

Might as well go 780ti at that price!

I dont get it now are they making the 290x the same price because of the performance being so similiar? Also i see the shader count is about 2800 on both cards.
