    Where does this leave the regular 290. If the 290X is $549, and the 280X is $299, that's a wide gap. The 290 will be a Hawaii chipset, still, right, so $449 seems likely, especially if the 7970 also debuted at $549, I'm guessing the 290 will be like the 7950--in launch price, at least, not performance. I get the impression the 290X is only for 4K resolutions, while the 290 is for 27" monitors or 1200 and 1080. Are the 770 and the 290 supposed to be on par, I wonder.

    That is either total bulls**t, or complete Bolshevik. Either way, it smells bad and shouldn't be allowed.

    Look first, signal, then maneuver.

    Obstruction. Really. Wait, maybe I'm not qualified to comment on something I know nothing about. Still, "intent does not matter in cases of obstruction" sounds wrong to me. I think whoever made up this rule also puts cheese on their apple pie. And yeah, I think our Padres might even be worse than Houston.

    Oh man, kick-ass rendition of God Bless America, and the close-ups of our Marines in the stands ... what a moment. I might have to rediscover baseball, padre.

    A blackstone tower resembling Orthanc might be too much, but one can dream.

    Cold, unfiltered sake is a nice treat. Like when you're in the mountains, and it's cold outside, but you're eating sushi at the lodge, and the girls come inside, shivering, cause it's so cold, but they wore only skirts and heels, and one of them comes at you from the front, the other behind, and they wrap their freezing cold arms around your neck to get warm. Kinda like that.

    Wow, excellent presentation. I couldn't agree more, but I'm resigned to accept P:E as is, and quite happily. I know I could enjoy using a PS4 controller when the time comes, as it's confirmed to work out-of-the-box for PC and even Mac, but we'll see what happens. I'm not a fan of WASD or having to learn dozens of KB buttons to play, but P:E won't be like that anyway.

    Still, the schlong was too much. How about a hearty Texas I'm sorry.

    Uh, someone is a mere two posts away from the all-time high.

    I now have an image of you armed with a spear with a large hound beside you at a lake. If spears come in .556 or .762, maybe.

    I see what Wals means with the changing syntax. It does seem to imply trickery. Or whatever. It's interesting how things like shame, envy, and feeling shunned are as common with national identities as they are with individuals. This thread reminded me of learning how pissed off Japan became after they were rejected outright from discussions with other countries around WW One. They went home and polished their anger into a suicidal samurai navy and got ready obliterate the Pacific.

    Oh wow, surprisingly good advert. I sense a change at the reins of their marketing.

    Fortunately, no change to the male dress uniform cover is taking place. The current manufacturer of female dress covers is going out of business, and the USMC was looking for a new supplier. It was Fox that drummed up the line about Obama mandating the change.

    yeah, but she is probable dating a jock/ex-jock or a musician... more likely the musician. HA! Good Fun! Her dating other girls sounds better. I subscribe to Felicia's channel ... she is the funniest human being alive. Her Skyrim walkthrough video is a riot ... jazbay grapes .. jazbay

    Me too. Ex Mormons have much to say on the topic. I hate that that is my identity, but it helps to talk about it constructively, despite the aftertaste.

    A cute girl who works in the PC department and knows the cooling release schedule of bleeding edge components ... if she rides a motorcycle, too, I'm moving to Sweden tonight. If I had ball loads of cash, the 290X would be the first part I'd like to try water-cooling with. If that's even possible. Imagine silent Uber mode.

    It's fun, and easy, to apply a little thermal paste. If you can make kimchi tacos, you can remove and reattach a heatsink/fan. Plus, these guys have an English accent, so you know they can be trusted. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olBnEN9YkGc&list=PL6CFEA6C71BB14979[/media]

    That would sure validate my hard work staying on the bleeding edge of PC gaming.

    Finally! Out of nowhere, The Crazy Ones became drop-dead hilarious. I had almost given up after the giant coffee pot episode, but tonight Robin Williams and the whole cast were burning the set down. Yay, comedy.

    Humanoid could probably say in one sentence or less, but if it were mine, I would check that the heatsink/fan on top of the CPU isn't loose. Overheating is the only thing I know of that will shut a system down without warning ... or possibly a power supply unit about to go for a dump. Barring all that, I would just get a can of air and clean out the interior. Dust seems more insidious up there at elevation.

    Psshh ... I'm still waiting for the download. 61% in 22 hours ... I figured it would be an update, not a whole new game file. But it's cool, I'll make it. Except I can't watch any more of Allan's playthroughs past Part 4, I don't want to know what happens. I highly doubt I'll suffer clipping or framerate issues.

    Well I didn't see the 290X coming. All the other R9 variants are warmed 7-series units, but this monster video card appears to be mostly new and completely volcanic in performance and power consumption. And for half the price of the $1k Titan, yet equally capable. I can't believe I just wrote that. Overkill is overkill, for this widget, though. I'm content to game at 1080, down here where $200 is appropriate for stunning-enough graphics. And a lot quieter. They say the 290X in Uber mode could be confused for the noise of a wind tunnel. I'm assuming the partner manufacturers will develop some more efficient cooling. But at least it's fun to know 4k gaming just became one degree more available. They said you won't even need that little Crossfire bridge connector thing anymore.

    For some reason I always picture your stories taking place in a country cottage, near to a canal, with a lock and an elderly couple tending their boat outside.

    Thanks, now my stomach hurts from laughing! Ahaha!
