it's a pretty well known fact that non x16/x16 cards do horrible on scaling

Not really. I wouldn't say "horrible".

That's right ;)

Therefore the only con of x8 x8 gtx 560 ti sli in 1920 x 1080 is a measly 2-3 fps decrease at most, as opposed to x16 x16.

The Source Page

green and blue bars m8

Even more proof

The differences are pretty much nill (with a single monitor).

AND then there was more proof.

P67 boards are bi-directional. E.g. x4 speeds on a P55 board will ramp up to x8 on P67. x8 on last gen boards ramps up to x16 equivilant speeds on P67. This is why the Z67 chipset is going to be fun. It will support x16 x16... With bi-direcional support....... Oh shittttttttt.

Yes, the scaling still blows. However, it's a fantastic 1155 chipset at the moment for those of us using a single monitor.

goddamn aidan, since when did you turn into kind of a dick

no offense

i kind of already conferred with your point, and you link these useless things you probably spent 3 seconds googling and learning about from tomshardware.com

we get it, COMPUTERS ARE INTERESTING AND I HAVE TO POST EVERYTHING RELATED TO MY UPGRADE, but shit man, calm down.

I didn't mean to come across as a dick :( I didn't really think you believed me, so I thought I'd post some proof for a more viable post. That picture is from tom's. Tom's sucks though, so I posted proof from multiple sources. After all, any one site can post "proof" of something, but it's even more valid if there are multiple sites with the same "proof". Henceforth the quotations are removed from proof.

It did not take me three seconds by the way. I kept stumbling into even more information and articles, and read up a lot more on it all.

Sorry if you took some sort of offense to what I said, or how I worded it, but I was only posting proof of this information. It helps whoever decides to read this thread, and helps myself out in the process. Hope you understand.

Funny you should mention that.. I was just playing the most superior call of duty.. Got killed in a napalm strike, respawned in the napalm strike, killed in the napalm strike, respawned in the napalm strike.. I don't know why I continue to play this game.

I didn't have a choice lol. Their engine forced me to die :/

What's the shitty weapon? Don't they all kinda suck? :P


ehhhh my routine is to get an 8 killstreak in free for all, then kill everyone with the choppergunner and win lolololol

Console gamers suck & have slow reaction times.

Also, they don't know about the optional sensitivity cheetz lol. It really is though! People usually complain.. UGHH I NOT USED TO THAT UGGG. That's when I say "You SHOULD get used to it".

Situation:

Man is behind you.

You try to turn around, but struggle because your sensitivity is low (default).

You Die.



Aidan's Situation:


Man is b-

Man is dead.

*Full Auto Kiparis is also h4x. Clip is empty in 2 seconds (I counted). Before people can fire a second time, half my clip is in their head.
