EVE General Discussion

Fermi tech is moving a lot so, I'd say avoid double/quad techs if it's only for gaming.

Imho you're better with 3x560GTX SLI than 2xQuadro SLI -later offers pro performances witch are not always what you need for gaming for a price that is completely out of the roof compared with 560, now this is just an example.

I'm quite happy with nVidia pross and drivers over the years, their products even old ones quite often when you have some burned GC in some pc, you plug it in you turn the dam thing on it's magic, it still works.

As for the card manufacturer actually I rather choose some pro in this business, not that nVidia are not pro but there are better out there imho, so I choose Gigabyte now for years (except a very bad experience with a 500$ ATi card for 1 year)
These guys actually tune every chunk of whatever they put in that card and also tune the way those cards are cooled making their stuff really performant for very long periods of time even in intensive uses.

Price/performance and until Fermi tech is replaced by next chip generation, I'd be willing to say this stuff x3 in SLI . Just an opinion.

The Fox here has it right. It has the effect of removing a bunch of isk from the game by giving players who have piles of isk in-game a way to turn it in for real-world stuff.

All it does is increase demand in Plexes.

The deal is bad if you account for $$ -> Plex -> Videocard.
But if you have a lot of isk/bot why not RMT it into a videocard.

It's a good process if players can buy video cards tomorrow with plex, for player and nVidia/CCP.
This model can/should be discussed with Alienware so they could provide some kind of perfect set ups for Eve at a certain amount of plex cost, this would be great.

Do you realize that when you buy PLEXes, ISK only changes hands. The only drain taking place here is taxes and fees.

You realize that it increases demand for plex right? Now how about you stop complaining and think for a moment, more demand means plex prices are going to go up. You now have in possession 20 plexes at current prices. In 2 months after everyone has bought the cards, there will be 20,000 less plex on the market from the nvidia cards alone (lets assume that people do not buy enough with RL money to make up that 20,000). You can then sell your plex for much more than you bought it for this month.

So basically, stop your complaining and actually think about how you can turn a profit from it.

If CCP can convince people to pay double the value of a video card, why is that CCP's fault?

Wrong Isk doesnt get removed, it just increases the velocity of isk with this deal.

Plexes are bought and resold as it is,

The rate of consumption is only equal to the number of subscribers using it to pay to play.
The rate of injection is MUCH higher.

So this is more means to deduce the number of plex'es floating around.

I for one cannot wait until PLEX for the RL Nobel Exchange (Eve store) buy t-shirts eon subscription and the sorts.

Um, no. It doesn't. It encourages the purchase of plex as exampled by your declaration. It also encourages higher plex prices in relation to isk as exampled by the current rise which in turn encourages the purchase of plex. Are you seeing the pattern here? CCP doesn't give a rat's ass about how many plex are in the game. What they care about is that people are purchasing them with RL monies.

Oh, and, the deal also encourages one other thing.....dumbasses....who would pay $350 for a $180 card also as exampled by your declaration. The great egress is ------> that way.

I'd rather be stupid then an a-hole.
