pleasant surprise - my corsair hx1000w psu seems to handle everything ok. i thought 5970 crossfire would require me to upgrade to a 1200w unit.

scaling so far.... not so good.

So by that I assume Crysis/WH are STILL not showing any real gains by adding an additional 5970? (Ironically the games that DO scale well do NOT need the second 5970- at least for me :cry: )

why do people drive expensive cars when there's a speed limit that every car can do?

why do people fly first class?

why do people eat at restaurants when they can just make dinner at home?

why use multiple monitors when you can just use one?

what a waste of cash! i can't believe people spend money on what they want to spend it on, ridiculous! i should've just handed you $1000 aussie bucks! silly me
