    So If 7950 Never Drops Below 60 That Means That 7950>8800GTX?

    Umm OK Now I'm Like Totally Confused

    Guy With 1730 (Best Speck)8800 GTX Said His Card Drops Below 60
    Guy With 7950 Said His Card Never Drops Below 60...................

    So If 8800GTX > 7950 (According To You) That Means That Someone Is Making Incorrect Statement.

    I Don't See Any Reason For 8800GTX Guy To Lie (Why Would You Lie About Having Lower Performance That Doesn't Make Sense)

    So That Means Guy With Car Has No Clue About Performance Of 7950 In WoW On 1920x1200 @ MAX Settings.

    lol.

    You know, now that you mention it, I've heard people say that if you download the cuniform language pack for Windows, you'll get 6 FPS more. Sorry I don't have a link, you'll have to Google for it. Also, ignore every benchmark out there, if you go buy a laptop with a P3, it will run at 10 more FPS.

    He has no friends. Just e-dolphins on the other side of the world. :rolleyes:

    Yes it means that. The 8800m is over 2x that of a 7950.

    I know the truth, and I can tell you, but only if you respond with the phrase "I will not type in all caps".

    Here is a little taste of potential knowledge: (whispers) 8800GTX is better.

    Yeah, look for a laptop with a P3 and an x3100. The reason it is so hard to find is that it is ub3r-1337.

    It's quiet obvious there is a new question at hand and the OP's original is no longer important, the new question is why isn't he a moderator yet? He has everything, technical skills, he listens great, and he yells half of his words.. talk about enthusiasm!

    a single 7950 GTX will get fried far before it reach 9K in 3dmark06. it's just common sense.

    wonder why the thread starter wasn't listening then...i mean a 7950 to a 8800m gtx was pretty far fetched and out there. i just had to look at the 8800m gts vs that card.

    24 / 8 Pixel- / Vertexshader vs 96 unified is a no contest call. i was just wondering what my 64 unified was comparing in at..

    Seriousely, I play Half Life 2 at WUXGA, 6xAA, 16xAF,all high and get OVER fricking 70FPS, constant 50-55 with VSync on.
    If wow gets worse than that(and somebody really REALLY CARES),that somebody needs to call the office to get a life asigned to him. :D

    Assuming You Will Get Always 60+ In WoW(WUXGA MAX) Just Because You Play Half Life 2 With 70 Fps Is Ignorant. It's 2 Different Games.

    I am going to close this discussion since there have been complaints and it is getting nowhere.

    @Warloque, typing every word with a capitalised initial clearly annoys a number of other members of NBR, and might lead to conflict and abuse.
    As we hold the welfare of all our members in high regard, we would like your co-operation in order to prevent such a conflict. Therefore, please refrain from typing everything with a capitalised initial from now on.
