Ohh boy! They will hang you on a cross over there for your post. I fully agree with you. They get all this shit for free and than they whine about the LN2 they have to buy. What a joke. Once again I could not agree more with you Splave.

Thats about one of the most shamfull threads I have read.

Its people like Jor, OCA and Kal that make this sport/hobby what is it, not those fools.

hahahah i was thinking the same way too.

Jor we back you up man...we empty our pockets too

Clarkbar, Brian and Mass need to get over themselves. I really wanted to dogpile in there but I am afraid it will turn into an OCA vs Pure thing. I love these martyrs who say that writing a review is worth a free gulftown, give me a f'n break.

Yeah felt like poking massman on that one.. because us guys that are not sponsored with free mobos and CPUs, gpus get our LN2 for free.

Ehh screw it... thread might get closed... gotta post.

Thanks guys all that made me see the real ugly truth underneath a sport that I take as a pleasant hobby. Funny thing is I used those same exact lines on some other results for a while and nobody felt bothered until I hit the big globals.

You all know how hard is to complete against 10-15 tray cherry picked cpu's, special edition psu's, golden vga card samples, etc. I don't need to say that out loud but I needed to make a statement on how proud I am of making it happen for the underdogs.

All that BS made me put my game face on and go after all the freaking 1st places I can take...

So it's all good

Great work Jor, and the pride in it is well deserved!

Benching a cherry ES you got for free is in NO way like benching a chip that you worked hard to pay for hoping to get a good one, no matter what the "elite chosen" want to say.

I see now that they desperately want to see themselves as competing on a level field with the rest of us, when they clearly are not.

[Splave]

Just wanted you to get the congrats you deserved is all

Well for every gulftown they get for free they have to spend HOURS reviewing, testing, writing about what we would consider "crap" hardware (like 1600mhz 8-8-8 ram kits). I see both sides of the coin here and im not taking sides. Do try to see it from their perspective. Yes they get some free hardware, but also yes everyone dumps on them for it. Trust me all the guys in Pure spend tons of their own dough for their hardware. Even vince spends his own cash on some gear.

Does getting some free gear help? Sure, but they have put in years of work to get where they are. They didnt just get intel/company X to throw hardware at them by doing nothing. They all started out where all of us unsponsored people are now. They just got in earlier, and pushed it hard for a long time until they were noticed. And then people dump on them b/c they get some bits for free. Well they also do hella amount of testing beta bios etc for improved efficiency and working out bugs, which ALL of us get the benefits from.

Perhaps some of the responses were a bit caustic, but this is far from the first time people have raised the sponsored/ES/pre release/blah blah blah argument. Im sure theyre just tired of hearing it is all...


Edit: and as I also said over at KPC, great results Jor, I hope you get the 2:8 sorted (try more VTT?).

Edit#2: 90% of the samples these guys get are duds/average also. Brian had to buy a whole slew of 5870 to finally get one that did great clocks. People see the great results and instantly think "golden vga" "handpicked from a tray of cpus" but in most cases that is NOT how it works.
