It looks like it covers all of them. One site (I think PCPer) measured the difference with a 7990, Guru3D (or maybe it was the other way around) used a 6990. Given the 6xxx and 5xxx are closer in tech than the 6xxx and 7xxx, I'm hopeful it'll work
At first I was like:
"Oh, Maggie. Great." (When I thought it was just a blender)
And then I was like:
"Beer! How did you know?" (When I saw that it heats up as well as blends)
How much?
Man, I honestly get over telling people how good it will look. There are some things you can see in games that indicate what it does and how development is travelling. All I see with FM5 is that it's *pretty much* as good as it's going to look (save for adding things like more cars on track, that sort of thing) but you can tell with DC that they're being super ambitious and tinkering with a lot of dynamic stuff. Super, super pumped.
ISS is only just appearing on the radar now. It's not quite the next-gen Crackdown I was looking for at this stage, but it's probably the closest.
Speaking of which, so hype for new driiiivers woo!
Orange bar is variance in frame times (resulting in microstutter) for the old ATI driver. Black bar is the variance with the new one. FUCK YEAH TEAM RED
shut up I can see the nVidia ones
It really fucking is. Has there been a thread created for it? I think it's worthy.

What about Bioshock, Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinite then? All three show consuming/shooting up drugs with only positive benefits.
EDIT: All Take 2 games. Along with GTA5....

Hey rep, what was the DLC for Rage like? I recall reading that it was supposed to be good, but can't remember what it was.
BTW Loving the Aldi SIM right now. Shits all over the Amaysim one, and it let me put the $5 it cost toward the first plan. I can finally tether from my iPad! Yay!

True, that was pretty graphic.

$2!
Just finished my first five-day observation teaching round in a Grade 3/4 class. Had a fantastic time which makes me even more confident in my career choice. Even managed to exceed all expectations on my report. Which is pretty awesome! some highlights
- Taking control of a group of students and playing a awesome game involving fractions called "Fraction Buster" some of the students kept getting distracted by the class pet near us in the room though.
- The female students getting hysterical about the health books claiming it's so INAPPRPORIATE due to having a pretty detailed account on both the birthing and reproduction process.. funniest part is while on yard duty one of the students kept going on about it and then said it's inappropriate because it has the S E X word.
- When I was working with a group of students on a mix of word shuffle and vocabulary building while brainstorming 'or" words one of the students wrote the word "porn' and then cue embarrassment, me crossing out the word, me having a bit of a smirk (shouldn't have done that) then a female student pestering me about what the word meant.. me saying "I won't tell you, you aren't meant to know that word etc".. that same student during library time afterwards even came up to me whispered to me in my ear and ASKED again about what "porn" meant, I managed to maintain a firmer stance that time around, and told her I wouldn't tell her till she was 18.;p (need to think up strategies on how to deal with sensitive issues like this)
- Lots of general stuff - such as gaining a insight in how schools are run and maintained, asking my supervisor teacher questions, attending the teacher meetings, interacting with the kids while on yard duty, building up a portfolio, helping out students with their work and reading etc.
- One of the students saying she wished she had me and the other student-teacher as their full-time teachers.. and the students generally being appreciative of my presence, one of them even hugged me aww! I'd just admit I have no expectations that it's going be ANYTHING like this when I enter full-time teaching haha.
Worst part.
- Trying to do uni work so I don't fall behind.. thank god the short assignment I had due was delayed by a week due to internet issues... and thankfully I'll have a intersemester break that will hopefully give me plenty of time to catch up on my work. The 2/3/4th years should be much better in this regard.
- The awkwardness of being a atheist in a catholic primary school when we got to anything involving religion in the school.;p thankfully my supervisor teacher was understanding when I told her I wasn't catholic, and wasn't able to do the christ sign catholics do as a result.;p
All in all it was a great 5-day experience. Looking forward to the next work placement asap.

I KNOW, I LINKED IT TWICE ALREADY
I'm thinking of attending one of my friends polisci lectures next week (since one of my 2-hour classes isn't on next week due to placement).. only awkward part is I think it's lectured by the same guy who lectures/tutors me on australian history..

Love reading about this stuff, as this was my situation not too long ago
It's great that you're enjoying your experience so far, it's certainly rewarding when you make those connections with the kids.
If you ever need help with anything teaching/Uni related just shoot me a PM, I'd be glad to help a fellow educator.
I JUST SAID I SAW THEM SO SHUT UP.Soooo...how about those Nvidia frame times
Could very well go Team Green next round, but there's something about AMD/ATI being the underdog (and insanely good overclockers) that I love too damn much. They're the Ferrari to nVidia's Porsche. Or something like that. Ford to nVidia's Holden.

Oh wow, look at those Nvidia frames
You can't deny their value compared to Nvidia, great performance for the money.

Yo Rep, Pikmin 3 and New Super Weegee are pretty close to the Beat the Bomb prices at Wow HD (a tad cheaper actually, if you're buying both, thanks to free shipping on orders over $60).
Definitely, but really only if you look at overclocking them (which I believe they're supposed to be better at than nVidia cards... I think).

Man, I had big hopes for 007 Legends after the great job Eurocom did with the Goldeneye remake but only ever heard bad things about it so I never bothered.
Was thinking about doing my Wonderful 101 preorder there on top of grabbing Pikmin 'cause that counts for the free shipping and I can't see it being any cheaper than $47.16 elsewhere. e: though I'm not sure if they ship individually or if Pikmin would be held up til W101 releases

Anyone got an opinion on Papa & Yo? It's cheap ATM and I remember being interested but never knew it was on PC too. Seems to have really mixed reviews.
Not sure, but my last AMD card, a 6950 was turned into a 6970 by a simple bios flash, that's value for money
.Danoss, you see this? Cryptozoic (Hex) Saves The Doom That Came To Atlantic City Board Game
Don't know much about it, but duckroll seems impressed.

I sure did. Posted about it in the board game thread yesterday, shortly after the news had broken, to the sound of crickets chirping.
Keith Baker and Lee Moyer are awesome people and deserve to have the hard work they put into designing the game (and Paul Komoda sculpting the pieces) be rewarded by people enjoying it. They'll never see a dime for their efforts, but at least that's something.

Yeah that's me on a week day. Weekends I can pull a 7am sleep in if I'm lucky.
I don't have kids but I tend to wake up at 5 am every morning on most weekdays. Just feel more productive that way. Only sleep till 7-8 am if it's any later than that, and that's usually if I go to bed at like 12-1 am instead of the usual 10:30-40 pm.
What sort of dog is Riker, a beagle? I love that breed, they always seem so placid
PS. Best names for dogs ever. Seems so appropriate for their behaviour, too (although Riker could just as easily be a Picard).

Riker is a pure Lemon Beagle, the black is bread out of them. Missus got him as a giveaway from a bad owner.
Ripley is an Australian Kelpie crossed with... something.
And once we got a second dog we had to continue the sc-fi theme. Luckily we got a girl.
Oh man, I hope you've already used the "Get away from her you BITCH!" line.

I'm glad the teaching went well Laf! It seems like you've really found your niche
That game is mad fun. I ended up buying it in Melbourne and we've been having weekly GoT days ever since
I was so close to winning this week, but I forgot to save my tokens after the voting so when I went to capture the last castle I had to vacate another D: It was hilarious watching Lannister attack the Greyjoys via boats in the first round, and have the Greyjoys leave them as a single knight in the reach within two turns.Jables Swan

My beagle definitely isn't placid.
His name is Murphy. I like to tell people he is named after Robocop.
But really he is named after Robert Murphy from the Western Bulldogs. Previous owner named him before giving him away to us.
This.
6am every day buddy.
You've trained the kid poorly!

So metro has replacment busses running from camberwell to ringwood. Regardlews of that there is a seeing eye dog on my bus and hes just looks sad. Hes got what looks like tears coming from his eyes. IM a cat person but he looks like he needs a hug.
So for my teaching round and the purpose of professional development and as a reference for a assignment I gotta start writing later - I managed to write up to 3256 words for my reflective journal.. and I still feel like I need to add some stuff to it. (and it's not like it even covered EVERYTHING I experienced in my 5-day round).
and maybe edit the grammar and punctuation but no-one else besides me is going look at it.. although my professional experience officer might ask for it
