Why would I want to "win" anything from nV? It's like winning a new Packard Bell something.

Ditto. Unfortunately there have been a lot of marketing based on Social Networks these days. I've considering folding many times, and the way things goes on, it wont be too long .

Only have social networking accounts, because friends have accounts there. I have no second thought selling them out.

Man, it's ugly. I'd still want it, though... maybe slap a case wrap on it to cover it up, heh.

I have a facebook account to keep in touch with friends mostly, but using social media for contest entries is getting very annoying. Especially that twitter crap.

Considering ATI's current gen can barely beat Nvidia's last gen, in the latest test posted on [H] (RE5) WTF kool-aid are you drinking? Also consider that Intel is still a no-show and Matrox gave up years ago...

For gamers looking to upgrade for those high-resolution monitors, the Radeon HD 5870 and GeForce GTX 285 are the best values in the high end. For more moderate budgets, the Radeon HD 5850 is a good value, while the GeForce GTS 250 is still supreme on the low end.

While we are sure AMD currently has a better GPU than NVIDIA, this game goes to show that AMD needs to step its game up when it comes to drivers. 45 days after launch and here will still have a AA title with graphical bugs galore on its new hardware.
Let me know when they work out the bugs...

last gen meaning 2 GPU solutions, right?

Because no 'current gen' of any generation have managed to beat out last gen dual card solutions, since they began to be offered. With the possible exception of the g80, but I don't recall and benchmarks of that, so I'll just leave it at that.

Heck, even a 9800gx2 outperforms a gtx280 (early benches) in most games. Even within the nVidia camp.

Though, due to the 5870 actually having a true double the shaders....
