[shivanandrs]

strangely yes, with cod you're a one man army, no matter how crappy your team is one good player can turn it around,

with battlefield, without a good squad or team you're dead in the water, at least that's my take, played alot of one sides matches where people were trying to rambo it, needless to say got slaughtered.

Sooo what u saying is that COD requires u as an individual to actually have skills to succeed whereas BF makes u rely on your team members to get through?

That pretty interesting.

We have 6 admins and 2 mods for our sever. We just hit 189th place in the world for BF3 PC servers. So we have ALOT of traffic... I monitor the server chat logs via vpn as well just to keep it clean when I can.

I saw you playing on it as well..

[firstchoicett]

Yea I take a small sweat But have a question about the map rotation, is only one map yall have set at a time? Cause when I was playing is just Gulf of Oman right thru, wouldve liked a lil mix up. How that works?

May need to start playin w/ KB & Mouse, fine men have real accurate aim on PC.

We have 1 map for now because that's what the players seem to like the most,we tried all the others but oman seem to be the most popular other than metro.

680's supply seem to have normalized a bit. So glad I held off on getting the 7970.

[HCCA]

True.

Although the prices still jumping around a bit it's still easier to find one for near to the $500US mark.

The GTX 670 is a better buy doh

[iM@st@1]

Nearly got one of those but read alot of horror stories about the faulty drivers. Afraid to take that chance after spending all that $. + I don't think I'll be needing a GPU upgrade for awhile unless I sli, but I'll def wait till prices go down for that.

and just in time for the 7970 ghz edition

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6025/rade ... to-gtx-680

also if you're doing multiple monitors the 7970 ghz edition is the clear winner. good to see amd back in the game

[firstchoicett]

We use those 7970 in our rigs and no problem no driver issue ,

[ruffneck_12]

Did a MacGuyver move

Fed up clean dust/cobweb fragments/dead mosquito from the computer case

so I coat a CD and some random objects with vaseline, so dust and other things will stick to it
and I put duct tape all over the case to trap dust

so I wouldnt have to clean the case itself, just rinse out a CD and replace tape

That not bad for the GHz edition but paying extra for a tiny factory overclock like that just preposterous.

[Elyon]

^^
it not really that bad, the 7970 ghz more or less ties or trades blows with the gtx 680, and the msrp is $500 for the reference model same as gtx 680, compare that to the $430 for the standard 7970 which was $550 msrp when it was released, the pricing is to compete with nvidia, I agree though 70 us for a factory overclock is a bit much, but its still cheaper that then 7970 when it first launched...lol.

Yep we got those 7970 Ghz edition in stock at 3000. Lowest price anywhere .

Nah was talking about the 670.

Bess price on the 7970 GHz ed btw

[firstchoicett]

Well I mainly play games at high resolution so overall the 7970 suites me .

[mickey17]

i have to go 7970 also since i am goin 1440p. wanted a 670 but 7970 performs better at high resolutions.

[firstchoicett]

^ yea it look so much better then 1080p

$350 for a 512gb Crucial M4 SSD.

Insanity. And I thought the deal for my 256gb was great.

[nismo007]

512 MB?!?!? have to be on crack...

Link made more sense...

Yeah them ssd prices dropping very fast currently. Tigerdirect has different brand way cheaper but after rebates though.

Mechanical drive prices still high up though.
