But all you guys with Crossfired 3870s and X2s dont need to upgrade. It's all psychological!

I do not feel outdated. My PC does everything I need it to do and more.


Anyone that feels "outdated" with a 3870X2 is a slave to the upgrade cycle.

I'm not a slave to the upgrade cycle lol. Before my current system I was running an am2 3800+, 2 gigs of ram, and a 7800gt for almost 2 years. It's just once you have the best, and something better comes out, it makes you want to upgrade haha.

...yet you feel your 3870x2 is not good enough, simply because there is something slightly newer out there.

I'll trade you a 4850 for a 3870X2! But seriously, why feel bad, your card is not outdated. They've released a new model yeah, but that cards not too much older. (maybe a year)

I don't feel outdated, and I have older hardware than the vast majority of you guys.

I'll feel "outdated" when my computer cannot effectively do what I need it to do, which is hardly the case at this point in time.
