Besides, the steam for turbines is superheated to ~500 C to maximize thermodynamic efficiency.
Yep, I was saying that given the discussion, us two were apparently the only ones that read it. Or maybe everyone else found the main point boring :p:
Conflagration != Detonation
Seems like we're the only ones that read the article!
Okay there libertarian, enough of your ranting.
That's because a wheel constantly experiences dynamic friction with the road, you need to keep applying force to reach dynamic equilibrium. The drag of air on the spinning heatsink is much less than...
Is this the same for the GTX 680? It seems to suffer much more with 8xMSAA in Skyrim.
Going from 0 -> 8xMSAA the GTX 680 takes a 20 FPS hit vs. 8 for the 7970? What's going on?
They've done the simulations .. look for the peer reviewed paper, if they publish. Full disclosure will be there.
Percentages and averages, while useful, really obscure the data set. Look no further than Anandtech's conclusion, which explicitly states that your choice of card should depend on games you want to...
It's like you deliberately cultivate illiteracy so you can claim ignorance. And yet you still fail to engage in a debate in any sense of the word. You can't even show how I have talked in circles. At...
I'd love for you to point out my inconsistency, which you strangely have failed to do so thus far. Instead, what you seem to do is debate with a fictional 'cegras' who you stuff fictitious points...
I'm tired of arguing with juveniles with grudges so I'll kindly repeat myself to one more time:
My main point in citing the 99th percentile performance is, to directly quote techreport's...
I already said that. Techpowerup's averaged performance / typical power consumption is not good. Techreport has one data point but that doesn't set a trend. As soon as I saw the numbers I wrote it...

Better 99 percentile FPS / dollar.
Poor power consumption, but the reference 7970 draws less than the GTX 680 under Arkham Asylum -...
Try actually reading the TR article.
In a discussion reddit, someone brought up a very good point: nvidia / amd chips are just parallel processors. The software / drivers are as vital to the function of a GPU as the silicon itself. I...

"On my way to the airport this afternoon, I asked AMD's Dave Erskine for clarification. He told me the card Papermaster held up was actually a "dual-GPU...
I completely agree. The circumstances forced my hand in an non optimal buying.
If you would read my posts instead of using a strawman you would've known that I originally wanted a 7850, but they were OOS and I wanted my desktop to come back up ASAP for Diablo 3. There's a point...
Do you see how I told rollo that what he did with his own money (tri monitor 3D setup) was his own business? There you go with a strawman again.
So because I'd rather spend my money somewhere else...
There you go again, hiding behind the 'money is no object wall'. Keep dodging and deflecting.
Even if I did I won't spend $500 on release day, thanks. I've got other things to do with my...
We have different definitions of 99 percentile performance.
See this is where I'm going to throw my hands up in the air, because you and Babahooey are strawmanning me to death. Have you...
I'd love for you to give examples. One of the only things I pride myself on is consistency.

I do? You made a great strawman there.
Try going to techreport / other forums, where people actually blink twice before buying a GTX 680 at launch.
