[quote who="heft" reply="1" id="3487066"] Unfortunately, you have to research the specs on the cards. Case in point: I had an NVidia GT 120, which came out after the superior 9800. By looking at the specs it was obvious that the GT120 was merely a rebranded 9500. And the 9500 was inferior to the 8800. The only way to know was by looking at the specs. This also means doing research to know what each specification is and why it is important. [/q

Graphics cards and system requirements: How can you tell which is better? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

With CPU's it's always been obvious. An i7 is stronger than an i5 which is stronger than an i3 which is stronger than a Pentium which is stronger than a 486 which is stronger than a 386 which is stronger than a 286, etc.... But graphics cards seem to have no such obvious indicator. I've been told that RAM doesn't matter much with a graphics card, so how do you tell which is stronger? The descriptions seem to be all over the map with no consistency, so I'm c

Someone above said that it's will be a long time before this new technology reaches human level intelligence/processing ability, and I agree. However, they don't need human level intelligence to be dangerous. All they need is the ability to navigate independently, and the ability to aim and fire a weapon.

Reply to I hate Facebook in Everything Else Stardock Forums

I signed up years ago for my son's boyscout troop, but almost never used it. I hear a lot more people say they don't use it than those who say they do use it. Even my step sister and sister in law who were heavy users a number of years ago, almost never use it anymore. Which makes me wonder who is still using it....

How can you expect that collection of feathered lounge lizards to build an effective meteor deflecting system with nails like they had? Blame it on their stars, the shooting star that hit what we call the Yucatan pinusala - it killed all the jumbo dinos. SO the dinos are innocent!
