Gonna get me the EVGA OC 570 with the aftermarket cooler, feel like a change, hope the problems are just with yours lol!

I'll gladly have your 6950* if you're replacing it.

A colleague just bought a MSI 560 Ti and his is fantastic, I'm very jealous of the cooler.

Where have you been hiding tatty??? I havent seen you in weeks.

We all thought Mossad got the drop on you while you were nappin and had you gagged and tied to a chair in some damp cellar somewhere having flat bits of bambo shoved under your toenails.

you should get a GTS 250, worked perfectly since day one

i know you guys didn't like onlive but they've just launched now and they'll give you any 1 game for £1 when you sign up

i'm thinking deus EX HR for £1, i won't pay £30 for it but for just £1...

going to get some demo's and see how the uk version plays

I tried a few trials, connection was fine and I'm on wireless.....Graphics were shocking though, made me proud to be a PC gamer who plays at max settings.

Console players will not notice the difference

Yeh, that's a point... I hope this sort of thing doesn't kill off PC gaming or, if it does, that they can offer a high def, full settings version. Blurry textures kill me!!!

at least not until the next generation consoles come out at least. then they will be like "WOW!!! this looks facking amazing!!!!1!" but we would have already moved on with AMD 8 or 9 series with graphic cards

I had a week in portugal a couple of weeks ago but I have been lurking since, unlike some I just don't post if I don't have anything useful to say

But I have been visiting every day

FreedomEclipse · Sep 24, 2011

Portugal is a nice place. I went there too - we stayed at the Dom Pedro hotel. and the staff broke into my room with a cake and some champaign on the morning of my birthday.

that was quite a nice suprise.

You mean my 6970 in disguise........ perhaps it will pass your way for a few sheets of wad.

I heard also that the onlive service is laggy and bad graphics. Then again, I'm sure the technology will get better so it's good for them they are first to market. They will do well in the end.

In other news, my logitech x-540s are bloody broken. Only play at very low volume now, made a big popping sound and makes the same sound when turning on, but low volume. I have emailed logitech but I'm not in during the days to deal with RMA collection or delivery so might just have to write them off.

Only got them in January too. Oh well. Should I hook up my stereo valve amp + speakers ?

Not much room on this desk though.. hmm.

Millennium · Sep 24, 2011

Well that was annoying. Found a phone number for Logitech UK tech support/ customer service. Local call so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Was on hold for 15 minutes, then it changes to a ring tone. Fine, i'm through.

The f***ing cut me off the bastards. WTF? I thought Logitech were meant to be good.
I'm gonna call em back and I'm not going to be polite.

edit: 10 more mins on the phone and we should be able to arrange an RMA etc. Guy was pretty good so I am confident of a good outcome now. We shall see!

FreedomEclipse · Sep 24, 2011

Let me put it this way....People are slow to take it up for a reason.

Had it been a solid gaming unit like any console or mid/high range pc then people would be snapping it up.

Turn based stratagy or MMO games might work out fine due to latency issues. but if you have a 37-42" HD 1080p tv AND a PS3 or 360 next to it then I dont really see Onlive's appeal as those consoles will provide better gameplay and graphics with almost little to no latency issues

so what if you can buy a game title for £1? you'd still need an internet connection to play it. so in a sense its like a form of DRM.

FreedomEclipse · Sep 24, 2011

On a more positive note..... I got the money my friend owes me. and i can now order my Define XL :toast:

Deleted member 24505 · Sep 24, 2011

How about £20+shipping?

Its still got the box, played fine on my 24" monitor.

FreedomEclipse · Sep 24, 2011

How loud is the cooler on it??

Im only asking cuz i bought my dad what i think is a passively cooled 3450 HTPC card or something. which hes been using for the last few years

Deleted member 24505 · Sep 24, 2011

Its not too bad, but i will throw a Vf900-cu in the box too if you want it, it works fine on the 9600.
