    Something's wrong if you paid $450 for a 290. It's a $300 card :|

    still play games my GPU can't handle

    I also broke my phone. Forgot the password I temporally set while I sent it to a store to get the screen replaced. Now wiping it and starting over.

    your gpu broke again?

    what the hell do you do to your gpu's, seriously

    on another topic, 1 core amd e-series amd apu's + 5400rpm hdd = slowest boot times i've ever seen, even that old compaq presario sr1103wm boots faster, and it has an IDE drive and netburst

    The first one broke, may or may not have been my fault. Since then it's just been a bunch of crappy refurbs gigabyte is sending me. I think it might also be my PSU.

    What is the deal with "titles" or whatever with selling cars in the US?

    Here you just get a paper confirming you paid (you get from the guy you bought it from) that gives you full power over the vehicle to write it on yourself, hand it over an the central vehicle registration office and pay some $$$ to the office, get insurance and you can go rolling?
    can be done any day you want spontaneously, don't really have to wait for anything.

    I've upgraded my PC to the point it's gonna be worth somewhere around £1100-1200 when I add an SSD and new case. I'd totally do a custom water cooled, SLI 980's setup if I could afford it.

    Well, you get the title when you buy the car, but it's a proof of ownership of the car. It's a pain when you don't get a title, or none exists like Potato's case. Then waiting and $. But, if you have the title signed over, you pay the tag office to oblige that you got the car, and register it.

    that sheet of paper confirming is the title pretty much.

    Its a VC5 certificate in the UK, highly important document.

    I guess that I myself derailed the development screenshots thread :p
    It was just supposed to be a reference, but then I thought : "F*** it! It's your chance!"
