This has had a bunch of people here at work running around like a bunch of kids, myself included. Who would have thought that I'd be excited by a console?!
Well, the 6850 was won in a contest and was supposedly shipped direct from Sapphire but it didn't arrive. They aren't very forthcoming with the status when I asked the contest provider to reach out to them again for an update.
Feel free to add me on Steam (xOptix78) if you fancy some click...
Nice marketing move - using a previous branding to draw the attention of past AMD users to the processor line. Too bad it likely won't add up to what Intel has cooked up for its LGA2011 boards. Might be a nice alternative to Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge on the 1155.
Oh, i has DX11. Was hoping to have a 2nd 6850 but that fell through.
I've been watching these videos at work almost all day and I'm not tired of them yet. I keep trying to pick out subtle things like in the tank battle video when a shell hits the ground. Instead of just an explosion, there's...
I love E3!

Left nut...
Looks like competition for Corsair's recently announced H100. From what I hear, some overclocking elitists thing that this will be the superior design but the mounting system leaves a lot to be desired.
Look at games now though. Battlefield 3 is looking incredible with in-game footage that looks like a news broadcast. If done properly, this could revive the series, which has blown chunks since the 3rd installment.
I've decided to dodge work as much as possible today and was just messing around here in the forums when I noticed that Jamie aka Tharic-Nar aka Foot-Long-Freddy (interested ladies?) doesn't have an avatar.
It's time to help him out so post up what you think would be a good choice...
I was talking to Rob about that in chat last night. There are only a few full tower chassis that could handle something like that due to the added thickness of another set of fans. He figured we should run it with 16.
I think that the H80 uses the H60s cold plate, which is quite different than the H50 or H70. Other than that, it doesn't look like there are any real differences so that new cold plate must be a winner.
The H100 though...I think I've died and gone to heaven!
