Guys these Comments ARE offensive.
They are
1.Racist
2.Sexist

I think they should be pulled (looks for moderater) or please edit your post to remove them.

C'mon guys firstly we are supposed to be past this sort of behaviour, and secondly this a pc/Gpu forum. <edited as requested>


Grow up guys <sighs>

Maybe its not a big improvement, but im still wondering if it can be o/ced. Also the Asus card seams to have a better quality cooling system so i'd like to see her potential.
I think it was the Asus reaching 60c tough anyway it might not be a real big performance boost, but at least 9800pro prices might drop a little wich is always good.
 
Why should the tastes you have in women be a bit more picky, make you racist?
Why should it make you sexist?

Everyone is racist, some however are truly racists. These people here, ARE NOT.

First this is a Graphics card forum so edit your post to reflect that. Maybe change it to PC/<b>G</b>PU.

Second, I doubt many people care one way or the other. This is a bathroom wall IMO. I agree it can be juvenile at times, but this isn't the 'Serious Social Issues' forum (despite some of the [including mine] recent posts).

And BTW, I'm not prejudiced, I have a <i>coloured</i> TV! :tongue:

Ok now to switch the focus a little here's a joke to lighten the mood (Can't believe I'm sabotaging my own thread! Dang PC-facists {BTW that's Politically Correct no Personal Confuser!}).

Ok here goes;

What's Black and Blue and hates sex?

Well we all have our preferences and opions. However to air some of them on a public forum in this form really just isnt acceptable.

I never said the person making the comment was either Racist or Sexist, however what i said was that the comments were and that they are actually offensive. Please dont confuse the two. My statements were not made with any malice or ill intent what so ever towards those that made them. (Men never grow up, they just learn to hide it better :)

If you cant understand why these comments could be considered either sexist or racist and considered offensive then i am sorry but its not something i can explain to you. Its something that is learnt not taught(thats something else that takes time to make sense of /ponder)

However they should still be removed or edited out.

Well, thats bout all i am gonna say about it, <gets of soapbox> and i am definately not gona comment on Grapeapes post as i dont wish to compromise my current moral stand.

Hey if Coolsquirtle who is Taiwanese (or some other forum user) comes out and says he is not sexually attracted white women, I would <b>NOT</b> find that offensive by any stretch of the imagination. This is not to say that this is his preferences, that was just a quick hypothetical example that I could pull from the top of my head.

Each individual has their own racial preferences that they look for in mates. My prefernece of Asian/Pacific/Latin American women is actually frowned upon by my Mom even though my Dad has no prob with it. Its just each individual's preference. I have no problems with people who prefer not to mix either. I have friends from many races, and just because some of my friends aren't physically attracted to women of my race doesn't mean I don't like those persons.

Well since you guys have effectively killed the thread, I might as well drive a finally misogynistic stake through it's heart. :evil:

I hope it gets more and more and more attention and I hope people buy into it. That makes it better for the enthusiast that wants to get ahold of the 9700 Pro or 9800 Pro...prices bottom out and I'm there.

Public Forums wouldn't be public if we couldn't air our opinions and preferences...they'd be private forums. And this forum is exactly the place for anything anyone wants to talk about. We try and remind those that go off topic to come back to topic...but it's going to happen. You need to learn how to deal with opinions and preferences. There was nothing either racist nor sexist about any comment they made. In order to be either (racist or sexist), the person making the comment must be discriminatory and/or abusive toward race/sex. Notice that these comments are neither. Would it have offended you less if it were something like, "Polish women are kinda ugly...and their teeth are messed up" or "Korean chicks have weird looking faces" or something of that nature? Most likely this wouldn't have offended you as much because you're hopped up on the metaphorical, discrimenatory steriods that society has shot you up with.

You spoke of learning and teaching. Get out your pen and paper and take notes...you are about to learn something. There is something called an opinion. It is someone's personal idea about something. Personally I do not find Black women attractive. Does this make me a racist? Nay, it does not. According to you it does...but this comment is NOT offensive to anyone. It is a personal opinion. Is it degrading women? No. To be sexist, I'd have to discriminate against women AS A WHOLE.

Another thing you forget is that the women they are talking about PUT THEMSELVES UP FOR REVIEW by choosing to be in the public eye. They are <b>moviestars</b> and that means that their lives will be public. Period. This means that comments will be made about what they wear and how they look. By doing this; choosing the profession they are in, they are inviting critique. Critique is what is given here. So someone doesn't like black women? That's a personal preference and an opinion....it does not attack black people as a race and it doesn't attack women either...they didn't say they hated all women did they? You need to learn what you are talking about before you talk about it.

If you still don't know the difference between a personal preference (without abusive language as in our case) as opposed to racism...you need to change yourself to an Irish Mexican like me...and then move to the middle of the United States. Go to school in a small town where there are only caucasian kids. Make sure your last name sounds mexican too...something like...Martinez....wait..that's mine, you can't use that one. After you do this, you'll find out what racism truly is and you'll be able to tell the difference between honest opinion and flat out Mein Furor Seig Heil Hitler racism. Oh, and there are no moderators in this forum. Usually, if someone steps out of line...they're branded as a troll/flamer and they catch soooo much crap from the resident members that they will stop posting or switch names and calm their dumb arse down.

You'd better hope that people forgive you for being crass and judgemental...because from my standpoint, I'd love nothing better than to flame you out of the forum for being 'holier than thou' without knowing when discrimination or sexism is actually taking place...just be glad I didn't attack you personally. God knows I thought about it for a few minutes.

Actually, It's funny, you compromised your 'moral standards' by jumping to conclusions instead of educating yourself first (differences between opinion and discrimination).

If you want to talk about moral standards, you're in the right place.

TKS, I must say that was an <b>exceptional</b> post. You nailed several points right on the head. However, this dude does not deserve flaming, yet at least. It is completely natural for people to come to a forum misinformed. It happens all the time and so many of today's people are misinformed It won't be beneficial to jump on this guy and attack him. Afterall, he did say that he wasn't trying to cause a fight or any probs (or something like that. So, we should definitely cut this guy some slack and see how he accepts are logic on the situation. If he accepts it, Excellent. If he doesn't and ends up flaming us like barbequed chicken... well he'll deserve any flames he gets at that point. :evil:

Time to get back on track.....

Catalyst 3.8 overdrive drivers to be released october 8th.
These should be bundled with XT cards. The ability to regular users to overclock automatically without voiding warranty is huge. We take it all for granted, because it's not tough to mod a card and overclock it with third party drivers. The new XT line will have a variable fan and 3.8 drivers built-in for overclockers. This is not a big deal with the 9800 XT but will be huge on the 9600XT.

A nice post TKS, some points I agree some I disagree.

But as i said earlier, I've had my say, and am gona leave it at that.



"" Society is to blame ""
 
I cant see overclocking becomming completely mainstream.

Consider the following circumstance:
Dad gets new video card for kids
Kids read a bit aobut overclocking.
Kids try some nieve overclocking, setting the speeds to insane levels and burning out the card.

Unless the OC levels are limited to "safe" levels.

I dont like the idea of the audible fan... the heatsink also looks of a less than optimal design. Hopefully retail versions are better equipped.

As my sapphire R9800pro can do at least 429Mhz core with a stock aluminium cooler im suprised they didnt do better with the design.
