    I know it is a waste on a 22"
    Will be upgrading to 26" or 30" in the next month or two

    What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.

    This card is a beast that tramples all over anything in its way.

    The real problem is that there aren't really any games at the moment that require this kind of power. Crysis/Warhead maxxed out and Dirt 2 DX11 maxxed out, those are pretty much the only games that put any load on it.

    Still a great card with a very impressive set of features. As far as top of the line cards go, its not only bang for buck, but the top performer as well and is quite futureproof.

    Last week was just a bit hectic as we were a bit short staffed so I had to do a lot more writing than usual, so yea, mistakes did happen. Thanks for pointing those out.
