I am glad to see everyone on-board and making a statement. It is nice to see consumers taking a stand

Right. This is the same as if one of the OCN members created a BIOS that allowed the 680i to work flawlessly with 45nm quads only to have Nvidia come and tell him/her to knock it off.

lol if this is a ploy to do just that



edit: destroying the card is pointless. Not buying one is the only real way to effect anything. Wrecking a good piece of hardware is just a waste.

I can tell you they're not laughing because the people who DON'T own one see someone who does DESTROYING it.... meaning the product sucks so bad they don't see a better use for it than breaking it. It's symbolic. I wish people like you weren't so bloody dense.
