GeForce 7950 GT Launches With Passive Cooling

An anonymous reader writes "NVIDIA's GeForce 7950 GT comes with great performance at an attractive $299/£225 launch price. Incredibly, XFX's pre-overclocked card comes with a passive cooling solution. From the article: 'There is no doubting that NVIDIA's GeForce 7950 GT is faster and cheaper than the GeForce 7900 GT that launched at the same price point earlier in the year. There is a lot to like about the product, and there is even more to like about XFX's implementation. It's generally a match for ATI's Radeon X1900XT 512MB in popular games.'"

Wow, this was just a test to see how flawed the /. moderating system is. I saw that there was only one post and posted something extremely generic, and got modded interesting, while a reply to my post actually provides good information and doesn't get modded at all. If only the earliest posts get moderated (or rather, they get moderated at a much higher rate than subsequent posts, because there's nothing else to moderate) a lot of stuff is getting lost just because the post is too late to be seen. And I know it's tough to look through all the posts and find one that deserves moderation. I bet the person who modded me up was probably just using his last point before it expired, not really caring where the point went as long as he used it. I admit, I've done this myself many times but it sure is annoying. Feel free to mod my original post overrated, or something, this system needs to be fixed. On the other hand, mob rule like at di^H^H that other site seems to promote groupthink and short, witty, and often sarcastic responses that add nothing to the discussion. So I guess /. type moderation works, but should show the latest posts at the top to encourage moderators to read those posts instead of just modding older posts up.

You only got a +1 Insightful to 2. Both your posts deserved the +1's. I often get that on stories that I post to that are up to 6 stories old. I wouldn't expect to get +5 when I post that late though.

It's skewed to overmod the top page of posts, but oh well. I tend to trust the mods near the top, then dig deeper into the posts further down the page looking for stuff that didn't get modded well enough.
