    No, Tire is what happens when the Brits and the Americans both spell a word the same, and the Brits for the sake of being different decide to revive an outdated form of spelling.

    It will likely not eat your phone, but bugs might cause your phone to stop responding, requiring a reboot

    Why then would I want to replace my webkit browser with this? I understand this is an Alpha and that bug might be fixed, but again, why would I want to use this over my webkit based browser?

    That's odd, the GTX 480 is supposed to be equal to if not faster than the 295...

    You might be better off selling both and getting a GTX 470 SLI setup.

    Have what? A GTX 480?

    I personally only have a GTX 470, but considering the 480 is faster then my 470, it can definitely handle it.

    That's fine, you would just run the cards under water and overclock them. The GTX480s also have a bit more memory bandwidth then the ATIs.

    All I'm saying is that it's possible with current gen cards.

  17. Re:30 inch HP LP3605 here @ 2560x1600 on HDTV Has Ruined the LCD Market · · Score: 2, Interesting

    From 6088x2276 to 6000x4000 you would only need 2x the performance. And like I said, 3x GTX480s offer well over 3x the performance of a single 5870 used in that review.

    And you may be surprised, the latest GTX480s push nearly 90% SLI Scaling.

    And then consider the price of the gamers' setup you suggested, and what percent of users could afford it.

    I never said it was cheap.

    Uhh, yes it will...

    This is a benchmark of ATI's Eyefinity solution, on a single 5870 running upto 6088x2276

    http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/ati_radeon_5870_eyefinity_6_edition/page2.asp

    It runs at around 40-30fps with current high end games.

    3 GTX 480s which are each faster then a 5870 and have more VRAM will easily be able to push 60fps at such a resolution.

    You should realize these cards are capable of pushing 1920x1200 with 8x Super Sampling Anti Aliasing @ 60fps... Which is effectively the same thing as running at a higher resolution.

  19. Re:30 inch HP LP3605 here @ 2560x1600 on HDTV Has Ruined the LCD Market · · Score: 1

    That's a bunch of hogwash. I regularly play games and I run at 1920x1200 for every game that I have.

    Most gaming benchmarks these days are done at a minimum of 1920x1200 and up to 2560x1600. Gamers care a lot about DPI because it effects things like aliasing.

  20. Re:30 inch HP LP3605 here @ 2560x1600 on HDTV Has Ruined the LCD Market · · Score: 1

    A GTX480 TRI-SLI setup could easily do it.

    Heck, a single GTX480 will get 60fps in almost any game @ 2560x1600 already.

    Well he has a point, and he sorta doesn't at the same time.

    He made a mention to the Dragon Age engine, about reusing it to make 10 games with it.

    Well AFAIK The Dragon Age engine is based on the same engine used for KOTOR and many other Bioware games, just updated for the modern era.
