Asus Xtreme Global Summit

How cool is that I won the week 2 competition to attend the Asus Extreme Global Summit!

http://www.bit-tech.net/blog/2009/08/12/axgs-week-2-winners/

The guys at Bit-Tech have posted a video of me. I say a few words and appear a couple of times in the video woot :)


I'm planning to post the photos and do some more write ups when I get time which I'm obliged to do as I got a £300  Asus Matrix GTX 285 out of it :)

Heres some very quick results from FurMark. I have got some X3:TC bench results but I cant be arsed to format them all properly.

My intial thoughts on the Matrix 285

  • Excellent Cooling system, with those high clocks with low fan. During FB temps only got upto 60 I think need to double check that.
  • The card really squeals like a pig. Reminds me of my 8800 GTX Ultra. This is highly annoying.
  • Fan has a slightly higher pitch than my 275
  • Love the burn in BIOS settings and the emergency reset button haha
  • Confused why one 8-pin and 6-pin power socket.

Avarst!

I'll have to come up with something clever to put here.

In the mean time enjoy a B5 quote.

Our great mistake, our failing and now your failing. The error is compounded.

What mistake?

The first one. The one from which all mistakes precede. The error of pride.

We had traveled to a thousand worlds. We brought order, discipline. We appeared to them as beings of light. They saw us as emissaries of the universe.

They saw us as gods. And we, in our pride, begin to believe them. We believed that we were superior to the universe that gave us birth. We believed that we could transcend this dimension, that we believed that we belonged to a another higher plain.

And in the end, in terms you can understand, we resolved to storm the gates of heaven itself. We applied all our wisdom. All our knowledge, to opening a door to another dimension. A place, we believed was the well of souls, the foundation for all life. We would touch the face of God and in so doing become gods ourselves.

We forgot that a door may swing in two direction. We were so concerned with getting out, that we never stopped to consider what we might be letting in, until it was too late...
