They already told you...it's because you want your computer to last. If you would have spend, 25% more, your computer would last twice as long.

my computer will last forever damn near lol..

before my area51 alx i had, i used a damn 2004 gateway with a single care 3ghz HT processor and nvidia 6500 graphics... nothing special at all.. between me using it and my friend using it after i got my area 51, it has 7 years of WoW on a completely stock sysyem that was underpwered in every possible way and ran around 70-80C all the time but still ran perfect

it wasnt untill i played rift for a couple weeks that it litteraly burnt the mobo up.

You know it's ok to be wrong sometimes.

You run benchmark programs to test the computer at 100% load for both graphics and cpu. Its all fine if your speedometer shows 160 mph, but if it can't get past 120 due to a fuel pump that can't keep up, you'll never get there.

actually 120 FPS is the most you can see. Also, you would have to be using a 120 Hz monitor which the OP is not using.

Also @ OP: Please link me to your monitor. I do not believe for one second that you are getting 40+ FPS with those cards in xfire if you are using a 32" monitor.

op thinks crysis is the best game to test graphics....

aha

amd quad.

dual 4670.

old components that will not last.

According to this conference, Xbox has only been hacked 2 times....
whereas ps3 is completely fucked forever now, just like wii.



go to like 2 mins to see where the hacks came in.

you kids should watch all three parts to educate yourselves on console hacking...

most guys here are obsessed about computers and their capability's, so they will not understand you're just happy with yours, eventhough it's probably not half as good as the pc's of some guys here. Who cares when it runs what it needs to run, right?

However, they make valid points. Prime95 tests your system to see if it's actually capable of the speeds you're telling it to run at.
It will also prevent you from getting BSOD's when getting a newer game, which will stress your cpu to higher temperatures. It's essential to check your temperatures at 100% cpu load for an extended period of time after overclocking, so you're sure nothing bad will happen when you try a better, newer game.

I'm pretty sure that after the engine of your car got tuned, they tested the engine to make sure it ran smooth and wouldnt blow itself up when you discide to rev it? Same thing.

+1 on this.

but brah oldass cards ez 32 inch monitr
